The Couch-Potato Stepmom Goes Viral for Spoiling Her Kid

Please roll over and give this one a favorite! My dream of getting rich next door is an amazing wish-fulfillment story: "Rich Woman Spends Money: Target One Trillion" Gu Yi transmigrates into a variety show novel as the stepmother of the villainous kids. She has two children, and each is harder to handle than the other. Her eldest, Qi Shao, is eight years old: arrogant and rebellious, always causing trouble, skipping school, and playing video games. Her youngest, Qi Meng, is five. Born with extraordinary strength and a knack for destruction, she is insecure, sensitive, and willful. And her weak, sickly husband, a mere plot device, is going to die in six months! In the original story, the former Gu Yi endured everything and greeted the troublesome kids' bullying with a smile. She let them bully the original female lead and her child, earning the hatred of the entire internet. After her husband died, she paid the children back many times over, turning them into antisocial, highly destructive villains. In the end, she was punished too, locked in a pitch-dark basement and meeting a tragic end. Gu Yi, a big shot who conquered everything in the apocalypse and now just wants to retire, arrives in this world. Wow, fresh air and plenty of supplies! She decides to lie flat and enjoy life. As for dealing with the brats, she'll beat them at their own game and leave them nowhere to turn! She arrives the day before the variety show begins filming. The two kids scatter pearls all over the floor, and the original Gu Yi breaks her arm. After the show airs, she's mocked online for playing the victim. Gu Yi looks at the floor covered in pearls, makes a noise, then calmly heads to the bathroom. Qi Meng, nervously: "Brother, falling hurts. What if she gets hurt?" Qi Shao, full of confidence: "Even better if she gets hurt. Then she won't be able to keep up the act, and her disgusting true colors will show. Come on, let's film her ugly side!" The two little turnips peer around the bedroom doorway, looking confused. Where is she? Gu Yi appears behind them and grins. "Looking for me?" Qi Shao and Qi Meng jump in fright and stumble back, stepping on the pearls and taking a perfect fall. Gu Yi films them and waves. "Look at the camera. What a solid fall! And what ugly crying!" During the variety show, Qi Shao and Qi Meng clench their fists, determined to tear off their stepmother's disguise. For the parent-child cooking segment, Qi Shao prepares little bugs to sneak into the food. Gu Yi has just finished blowing up the kitchen and is still shaken. "Ah, cooking is so hard. Forget it, I'll just drink some water if I'm hungry." Unable to bear the thought of his little sister going hungry, Qi Shao puts on a stern face and is forced to cook. For the kite-flying competition, Qi Shao and Qi Meng rehearse how to work together to cut the other kites' strings. Gu Yi stiffly turns her head, eyes brimming with tears. "Ah, I don't know how to fly a kite. Forget it, living in a thatched hut isn't so bad." Unable to bear the thought of staying in a thatched hut (and actually wanting to win), Qi Shao takes his sister and works hard to fly their kite. During the Lego-building competition, Gu Yi sips her coffee and wonders aloud, "Wow, how do you put these together? Why can't I find the pieces? I'm so sleepy. I'll just close my eyes for a bit." Qi Shao explodes. "What can you even do?!" Gu Yi winks at him. "I can play video games." Qi Shao, defeated: "..." (Being able to play video games isn't something to brag about.) So the siblings change their strategy. They'll do better than her and show everyone online that she's the most useless mom. Every time they finish a task, the "useless" Gu Yi showers them with praise, cheering and clapping all the way. Amid all the praise, Qi Shao gradually gets used to it and realizes that being needed feels pretty great! Amid all the praise, Qi Meng finds her confidence and becomes a cheerful little ray of sunshine! Before long, the livestream comments are full of extravagant compliments from viewers. The useless mom and her capable kids suddenly go viral, with one trending topic after another: #GuYi + Real-Life Anti-Video-Game Addiction #GuYi + Useless Mom #GuYi + Being Fed #GuYi + Reverse Parenting #QiShao + Head of the Family #QiShaoQiMeng Siblings + Kids Take Charge #QiMeng + Ray of Sunshine [Gu Yi is so lucky! This useless mom has two sweet kids, one to feed her and one to keep her happy!] [Gu Yi has won at life! I want the kids to spoil me, too!] When they run into bad people, Qi Meng steps to the front and waves her little fists. "Dad says I'm all grown up now, so I can protect Mom!" Qi Shao quickly hugs his sister and grabs Gu Yi's hand, ready to run. Then he hears a few yelps, and the bad guys are already on the ground, taken down by her. Qi Shao complains, feeling wronged. "You've been pretending this whole time, haven't you?" Gu Yi clutches her hand and acts pitiful. "Of course not. I'm hurt! Hurry and take me to the hospital!" Qi Shao looks at the mosquito bite on her hand and awkwardly says, "Just now... thanks." The fates of the two villainous kids gradually change, too. Qi Shao was supposed to deliberately frame the original male lead for stealing at the market. Instead, he's hunched over in a shabby little house, working hard to master cooking. The original female lead is ready with her phone, waiting to catch him in the act, but her legs go numb from crouching and he never shows up. Qi Meng was supposed to injure the original female lead out of jealousy. Instead, she's inside the house, casually crushing walnuts one by one with her bare hands. The ambulance waiting nearby ends up with no one to treat. Little by little, Gu Yi's life gets better and better. The kids feed her every day, and she spends her cheap husband's money shopping to her heart's content! Seeing that her husband, who should have died by now, is getting healthier and healthier, she decides to pack up and run away. The two kids: "Mom, we'll go with you! We'll take care of you and protect you forever!" Her cheap husband, Qi Mingxu, looks aggrieved. "Kids' mom, are you trying to shirk your responsibilities again? You're such a heartless woman!" Gu Yi: "...Uh, it seems like maybe I slept with him once..." The two kids: "Dad is too old. We'll find you a young boyfriend instead!" Her cheap husband, Qi Mingxu, pulls out their marriage certificate and paternity test. "She's your real mom! Yiyi, you can't run away this time!" Gu Yi, who has packed up all her belongings and is ready to run off and enjoy her retirement: "..." Reader advisory: 1.
