Also known as: "A Look at My Crybaby Dad and My Mind-Reading Mom"
Rising star Song Zhiyi has incredible acting skills and emotional control.
Unexpectedly, she transmigrates into a novel with the same title, becoming a scandal-ridden nobody. She even marries into a wealthy family, only to become a cannon-fodder stepmother. In the future, she will clash with her scheming, black-bellied little lamb of a stepson, Huo Enci, and be thrown out by the male lead, Huo Yan.
Song Zhiyi is crestfallen. Sigh, if that's how it is, fine, I give up. I don't have to be a rich family's stepmother...
Stepmother System: [Host must abuse her stepson 99 times to earn an extended life.]
To stay alive, Song Zhiyi buys a parenting guide and starts making a list of 99 ways to abuse him.
The book says: Children need plenty of sleep.
Song Zhiyi: No sleeping allowed. As a result, Huo Enci studies too much and comes first in his grade at the end of term.

The male lead, Huo Yan, and his B-king son, Huo Enci, were supposed to live out their lives according to the plot,
but after Song Zhiyi arrives, the whole family suddenly gains superpowers.
One day, the three family members, each with their own secrets for once, sit down to eat together.
Huo Enci, who remembers his past life, knows Song Zhiyi well: she looks like a little lamb on the outside, but is really a big bad wolf inside.
Huo Enci: "I love cake most of all!" [Hmph, I'm allergic to mangoes. If Song Zhiyi gives me mango cake, Dad definitely won't let her off.]
So the new stepmother, Song Zhiyi, who can hear Huo Enci's thoughts, says: "..."
Song Zhiyi grumbles about the little brat in her heart, but to carry out her abuse plan, she personally brings Huo Enci a piece of cake. Unfortunately, she trips along the way and drops it all on the floor. When she picks it up, all the mango and cream are gone, leaving only a piece of sponge cake.
She still has to put on her best performance and summon a mournful tone: "Oh no, it's all my fault. Why don't you have something else instead?"
The powerful male lead, who can sense the female lead's emotions, thinks: [Damn, this again? Seriously...]
Huo Yan's deep-set eyes, set in his stern face, shed a tear. He sobs as he orders Huo Enci: "N... no... don't be picky, or... or I'll beat you to death! Boohoo..."
Huo Enci: She actually threw the cake on the floor? In this family's superpower hierarchy, I might be at the very bottom.
Bonus scene: One day, just before a video conference, Huo Yan, the Huo family's decisive CEO who always has the final say, sobs as he bargains with his beloved wife: "I... I'll only have a half-hour meeting... no, fifteen minutes. Darling, can you stop being sad?"
