Something's Off About My Ranch

"Not much of the novel takes place at the ranch"

Wen Zhaozhao was just playing a ranch game to pass the time when, strangely enough, she transmigrated into a parallel world exactly like the game.

Fortunately, it was only a little farming and management simulator. She could grow crops, fish, and live a fairly peaceful life.

She worked hard to settle into her new life, sometimes giving the townsfolk little gifts to get along with them, and diligently running her ranch. But she began to notice that something seemed off.

All kinds of strange stories circulated around town.

A girl who jumped down a well, a man buried under a fruit tree, and a faceless woman at the mouth of an alley...

Wen Zhaozhao had thought they were just ghost stories. But the moment she saw a head with wet black hair by the well, all kinds of unspeakable obscenities welled up in her heart, and she cursed the damn game developers for half an hour.

This is the cozy, heartwarming management game the developers promised?

Yeah, right!

Later, a new ghost story began circulating in town.

Sunflower Town had the best ranch in the world. The faceless woman raised cows there, the knife-wielding man tended the fruit trees every day, and even the most troublesome water girl conscientiously watered the plants. Most incredible of all, the world's one and only treasure, a jeweled mermaid, was kept by the ranch owner in her home.

*The whole story follows a rescue route, with the ranch as a minor subplot

The Billionaire System Made Me a Mom With No Pain

Hu Zhenzhen transmigrated into a book, becoming the male lead's wicked stepmother in a comeback story.

In the original, the day after marrying the male lead's father, she became a widow. Distraught, she took out all her feelings on her stepson, tormenting the male lead with her sharp tongue and cruelty.

In the end, on the day the male lead became famous, an overexcited fan shoved her and she died in a car accident.

When Hu Zhenzhen arrived, her hapless husband had already died, leaving her alone with the ten-year-old male lead, staring at each other.

Her palms tingled. She looked at the red mark on the boy's face and couldn't help clicking her tongue.

Well, she'd been handed a hellish start from the start.

[System: Protagonist detected. System activated. Host, please collect the protagonist's group's favorability and change their fates.]

A golden finger! Hu Zhenzhen's eyes lit up.

Thinking of all those romance novels where the favorability went up at the drop of a hat, she confidently opened the System missions. A second later, she realized she'd been far too confident.

[Mission 1: Make the male lead call you Mom.]

[Reward: 1,000,000 yuan]

Hu Zhenzhen: "...May I ask what kind of System you are?"

At the question, the System's mechanical voice turned even prouder.

[System: My full name is the Super Billionaire Spend-Money-Any-Way-You-Want System.]

Hu Zhenzhen couldn't help giving it a thumbs-up. Her eyes gleaming, she ran over to the male lead and then... held up his father's memorial portrait.

"If you don't call me Mom, you'll never see your dad again!"

Male lead: ??? Are you okay? Who wants to see that dead old man?

Hu Zhenzhen's threat failed, and she accidentally smashed the portrait.

[System: Male lead's favorability +1. Your lifespan has increased by one year.]

Hu Zhenzhen looked at the boy differently now.

Do missions, and get both extra years of life and money? This wasn't a male lead, he was practically a living Bodhisattva!

She wiped away a tear of emotion and said, "I didn't realize you hated your dad so much. I'll dig him up right now so you can take your anger out on him!"

Seeing her about to dig up the grave, the male lead panicked. "Don't dig! I'll call you Mom, okay?"

[System: One million yuan has been deposited into your Alipay account.]

Hu Zhenzhen: !!!

Jiang Chen's playboy father had died, leaving him alone with his new stepmother.

He'd heard plenty of stories about stepmothers abusing their stepchildren. On the seventh day after his father's death, he decided to run away and fend for himself.

Just half an hour later, a convoy of ten Ferraris surrounded Jiang Chen's bicycle. He stopped nervously and stammered, "What do you want? I don't have any money!"

The window rolled down, revealing his stepmother's face. "Xiao Chen, it's dangerous to be riding your bike this late at night. How about I have Master Liu and the others ride with you?"

That night, passersby saw a spectacular sight on Binhai Road: ten Ferraris driving at 20 kilometers per hour behind a bicycle.

When that didn't work, Jiang Chen came up with a new plan. He'd act out and be rebellious so Hu Zhenzhen would kick him out.

But no matter how much trouble he caused, it never seemed like a big deal to his stepmother.

She called him "baby" and "handsome boy" at every turn. To Jiang Chen's surprise, he began to feel a warmth he hadn't even received from his own father.

Later, when his classmates brought up stepmothers again, they asked him mockingly, "Jiang Chen, has your stepmother been mistreating you lately?"

Clutching the little bear charm his stepmother had given him, Jiang Chen defended Hu Zhenzhen for the first time. "She's a good person. She's nothing like what you say!"

That night, Jiang Chen came home and burrowed into Hu Zhenzhen's arms, refusing to come out. She questioned him for ages before he finally muttered, "Mom, find me a dad, okay?"

Hu Zhenzhen was startled.

Could her son have discovered that she was secretly trying to woo a top celebrity?

*The main focus is a warm mother-son relationship. The mother isn't perfect and has some flaws.

*The female lead has money to burn and spoils her child
