Tang Yao transmigrated into a novel as a disposable side character.
In the novel, the antagonist was abused by his biological mother for years as a child, then abandoned. When he grew up, he became a ruthless, sinister, obsessive criminal wanted by the authorities. After meeting the heroine, he went on a rampage, abducting her and keeping her captive in one melodramatic scenario after another, until the hero and heroine teamed up to put him behind bars.
His life was nothing but misery, and it all traced back to the antagonist's biological mother.
The antagonist's mother met an equally horrific end. After torturing her to death, the antagonist threw her into the sea to feed the sharks, leaving not even a bone behind.
And now, Tang Yao had become the antagonist's evil mother.
Tang Yao: ...This is a bit much.
But on her very first day after transmigrating, Tang Yao looked at the little antagonist before her, skin and bones and covered in bruises. In a timid voice, like a kitten, he called, "Mom."
Tang Yao's heart melted instantly.
After transmigrating into the book, Tang Yao was full of motivation. She was determined to raise him into a chubby, rosy-cheeked boy who would grow up to be a good kid with sound values, nipping his villainous path in the bud.
Watching him grow plumper and fairer, so exquisite he looked like a little prince, and hearing him affectionately call her Mom in his sweet, babyish voice every day, Tang Yao could think of nothing but: Aww, my son is just too adorable!
Fu Yansen had severe germophobia and hated women. The Fu family once consulted a fortune-teller, who predicted that his fate was exceptionally noble but that he would remain alone for life. The family worried themselves sick over it.
Then one day, Fu Yansen attended his younger brother's parent-teacher meeting and saw a little boy who looked exactly like he had as a child.
At first sight of the boy's mother, Fu Yansen's heart, cold for more than thirty years, suddenly came alive. He immediately recognized her as the woman who had slept with him and run off four years ago.
Possessed by some inexplicable impulse, he asked the boy, "May I ask where your father is?"
With a dejected look on his face, the boy replied, "Daddy died. Mom and I buried him a long time ago."
The very much alive biological father, Fu Yansen: "..."
