I Became the Obsessive Male Lead’s Stepmother

[Pre-release: The Dog-Boy CEO and I Compete to Rewrite the Story] [The Wacky School Guide to Breaking Up Couples] Please add them to your collection!

What's it like to transmigrate into a melodramatic novel as the stepmother of a sadistic male supporting character with more money than sense?

Xu Yangyang, the person in question, looked at the completely empty room, then at the father and son sitting blankly before a little tea table, slurping instant noodles. She couldn't help doubting herself.

Was this really the future tycoon, richer than a kingdom and extravagantly indulgent?

With that sort of presence, had they made their fortune by slacking off?

*

With the father of her child seemingly on the verge of dropping dead at any moment, Xu Yangyang knew all too well that men couldn't be relied on. So she took it upon herself to earn money, support the family, and make them rich.

After working her tail off for over half a year, she watched their savings soar from five figures to seven and was over the moon.

But life is full of surprises. One sunny afternoon, while tidying the house for a big spring clean, Xu Yangyang accidentally found a whole box of neatly stacked gold bars at the bottom of the wardrobe.

Xu Yangyang: "..."

*

Wen Yijing had been banished to the balcony with a book for getting in the way of the spring cleaning. Suddenly, Xu Yangyang appeared behind him.

"You," she said in a hollow voice, "have you been hiding something from me..."

His back stiffened. He put down his book and was just about to choose his words when he heard her mournful voice again. "Hey, why don't you turn yourself in?"

Wen Yijing: "?"

Xu Yangyang patted his shoulder and sighed. "Don't worry, brother. Once you're locked up, I'll take good care of Xiaofan."

"But..." Xu Yangyang drew out the word. "Could we get divorced first?"

Wen Yijing: "..."

Sorry, no. Absolutely not. :)

(The child isn't the male lead's biological son. He was rescued by the heroine before he had a chance to turn evil, and he's an adorable little boy.)

The Dog-Boy CEO and I Compete to Rewrite the Story

Du Miaomiao transmigrated into a CEO novel that brought together every kind of old-school melodrama.

Together with a dog-boy.

The dog-boy wasn't a dog. He was a person.

But in a certain sense, he really was a dog.

Both Du Miaomiao and the dog-boy had a System.

The System told them to collect each other's affection points. For every ten points, they would get one chance to alter the original plot.

But they could only change one character each time.

Du Miaomiao and the dog-boy looked at each other, both with murder in their eyes.

Nice try. I'll make you pay!

*

In the book, Du Miaomiao was a sweet, innocent white lotus who was cruelly tormented by the CEO five hundred times, yet still loved him desperately. The dog-boy was the domineering CEO in the classic "she runs, he chases, and she has nowhere to hide" setup.

In real life, Du Miaomiao and the dog-boy were pseudo-childhood sweethearts who'd been chatting since they were babies. The moment one of them opened their mouth, the other could guess what they were going to say without even listening.

Du Miaomiao was determined to win and struck first. She gave him sneakers, a PS5, and limited-edition figurines. The dog-boy, who would always be a boy at heart, couldn't withstand the onslaught and lost the first point.

Ignoring the dog-boy's desperate stare, Du Miaomiao resolutely picked up her pen and made a tiny stroke.

"Mr. Lu is passionately pursued by his assistant"

↓

"Mr. Lu is relentlessly hunted by his assistant"

The moment she finished writing, the dog-boy was chased away by his newly hired male assistant, who kept catching up to him every few steps. Before disappearing, he let out a distant roar:

"Du Miaomiao, I'll be back!!"

*

Three weeks later, the dog-boy made a grand return with a whole series of revenge plans.

He showered her with gold, cars, and cash. Du Miaomiao, blinded by greed, let her guard down and lost a point too.

The dog-boy viciously added a character to the original text.

"Du Miaomiao has a faint, delicate fragrance"

↓

"Du Miaomiao has a faint, delicate cilantro smell"

Du Miaomiao, who hated cilantro, flew into a rage. Gagging, she stubbornly clutched a stick and chased the dog-boy down.

*

The two went back and forth like this, winning one round apiece on average.

But in one of every two victories, the winner had been forced at knifepoint to change the story back.

This time, though, the dog-boy won. Yet he was modest and said he'd save it for next time.

After saving up two chances, he picked up his pen.

"Woman, I advise you not to play with fire"

↓

"Woman, I advise you to come play with me"

Du Miaomiao looked at him with disgust, but her hand reached toward him against her will...

The Wacky School Guide to Breaking Up Couples

Yan Xia transmigrated into a school novel.

Although the three main characters were all high school students, the story had everything: secret crushes, misunderstandings, love triangles, car accidents, and amnesia. In the end, the heroine died with regrets, while the hero loved her but couldn't have her. It was a textbook example of angsty youth fiction.

As a savior of tragic endings, Yan Xia's mission was to prevent the bad ending and break, break, break them up! She would give the heroine a life of her own.

When the school beauty, the heroine, gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, bright yet melancholy, pondering whether to choose the domineering school bully or the top student, Yan Xia enthusiastically recommended the Five-Three exam-prep books.

"Don't stop studying. Men will only slow down your problem-solving!"

When the arrogant, rebellious school bully bravely confessed his feelings but worried about how to improve his appeal, Yan Xia tossed him a stack of Tianli 38 Sets.

"Write! Right here! Write for one hundred and eighty days, and you'll create a miracle, a fresh start!"

When the cool, aloof top student descended from his pedestal and personally brought her a white rose, Yan Xia snatched it away and generously gifted him a copy of Advanced Mathematics.

"There's no end to learning, and books are your boat across the sea of hardship. Don't get smug just because you scored 150 in math on eight monthly exams in a row! Your pride will be your downfall!"

Heroine, school bully, and top student: "..."

-

After Yan Xia arrived in this world, things began to take a strange turn.

The delicate school beauty was determined to study her field and escape the fate of a dependent vine.

The truant school bully was forced to study by her, and his ranking rose by more than a thousand places.

Even the class that had always come last suddenly shot up to first place in the entire grade for average scores. The eighty-year-old principal was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears whenever he saw her.

And Yan Xia and the legendary, aloof top student who kept everyone at arm's length...

Chen Yuchuan: Thanks for asking. We're together now.

Theme: Treat people with sincerity.
