After the Wealthy Stepmom Gives Up, Her Stepson Falls for Her on His Own

When Xie Yao wakes up, she finds herself transmigrated into the role of the villain's stepmother in a story about a Dragon King.

The original owner was a fangirl of the Dragon King. After the real heiress returned, the fake heiress was forced to marry the Dragon King's sickly younger uncle, who was destined to die young. Driven mad with jealousy, she became twisted and secretly abused her stepson to vent her anger. In the end, her stepson became a major villain and hung her from a ceiling fan, spinning her at high speed until she died.

Xie Yao: "..."

The Redemption System: Host, it's okay. The ceiling fan incident doesn't happen for another three years. There's still time to save your stepson.

Xie Yao is forcibly bound to the Redemption System and begins her path to redemption.

But the System is baffled... This is what you call redemption? Get a grip, Xie Yao!

System: Your stepson is being threatened and bullied by local delinquents, worsening his already poor health. Please tend to his wounds yourself and help him recover!

Xie Yao: Time to eat, time to eat! His cousin's daughter has become the East District's top gangster, and Lin Chi can't even beat me. This proves you have to eat. If you don't eat your fill, you won't have the strength and you'll just get beaten up!

Lin Chi: ... (Competes with his stepmother to eat at the dinner table. Eats everything with gusto, gets strong and healthy, and can knock out one delinquent with every punch.)

System: After learning the truth about his birth, your stepson is staying up all night playing video games to vent. Please bring him a bowl of noodles you've cooked yourself to comfort him!

Xie Yao: I'm going to bed. No wonder Old Wang's kid next door is 175 centimeters tall at twelve, while Lin Chi is only thirteen and still shorter than me. Staying up late is so harmful!

Lin Chi: ... (Secretly drinks hot milk and falls straight asleep. Grows to 185 centimeters, impressing everyone and becoming the dazzling heir to the Lin family.)

Lin Gang is bound to a Romance System. If he can gain 100 affection points from his wife, Xie Yao, he can change his early-death fate.

After learning the plot, he discovers that Xie Yao is the culprit who abused his son and turned him into a twisted villain. To stay alive and protect Lin Chi, he plans to grit his teeth and pursue this wicked woman. But when he gets home, he sees the word "Redemption" above Xie Yao's head and learns that she, too, is bound to a System, and that her redemption target is his own son.

In that case, he can relax... Relax my ass! Is she actually trying to redeem Lin Chi, or is she trying to piss him off to death?

*

His son and wife grow strangely closer and closer. Lin Gang looks at the romance progress bar, which isn't moving, and asks his son for information.

Lin Gang: Xiao Chi, do you know what she wants most?

Lin Chi: ... (She wants to be your nephew's wife. Can I say that out loud?)

The song Green Light rings through the villa.

Lin Gang comments: This is a nice song.

*The son is not the male lead's biological child.

*There is an eight-year age gap between the male and female leads.

The Day After Our Breakup, I Changed Grooms at the Wedding

#The Ex Chases His Wife to the Crematorium, Then Has His Ashes Scattered#

Ying Qie and Lu Fengzhou planned to end their nine-year relationship on their anniversary, register their marriage that day, and hold their wedding the next. She had been carefully planning everything for half a year, but plans couldn't keep up with changes.

All their mutual friends who received invitations congratulated Ying Qie.

After nine years of chasing after him, she'd finally gotten what she wanted.

But who could have guessed that Lu Fengzhou's first love would suddenly become famous across the country,

then appear on the same variety show as him, and quickly be caught up in rumors with him?

Lu Fengzhou said, "The rumors are just a mutually beneficial collaboration. Don't read too much into it."

Her fiance was rumored to be someone else's boyfriend, and she wasn't supposed to read too much into it.

He kicked her out of their team to work with his first love, and she wasn't supposed to read too much into it.

His first love answered his phone in the middle of the night and said he was taking a shower, and she wasn't supposed to read too much into it.

But she'd had enough.

The day before the wedding, she said, "Lu Fengzhou, let's break up."

In the morning, paparazzi photographed Lu Fengzhou leaving his first love's home.

Lu Fengzhou couldn't get through to Ying Qie, so he sent her a message:

[There's nothing going on between us. Don't be mad. Meet me at the marriage registry at ten.]

[Message sent, but rejected by the recipient.]

After learning that she'd blocked him, Lu Fengzhou waited for two hours at the marriage registry. Finally unable to bear it anymore, he called Ying Qie's best friend: "What is Qiezi doing?"

Looking at Ying Qie and Chen Xueyan, who were perfectly matched in looks, her friend decided to make things worse: "Oh, she's really busy. She's getting married, after all."

They're holding the wedding tomorrow, and she's only just changed grooms today and is having new wedding photos taken. Of course she's busy to death.

On the wedding day, Lu Fengzhou was turned away at the hotel entrance. He opened the video his best friend had sent him.

A little girl pointed at Ying Qie's name on the welcome poster. "Mommy, the bride's name has the same 'qie' as eggplant."

A man's voice replied, "No. Ying Qie's 'qie' is the 'qie' in cigar."

Lu Fengzhou's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chen Xueyan on the poster, dragged back in his mind to ten years ago.

Chen Xueyan had introduced Ying Qie to him the exact same way back then.

Xueyan's Xue, and the Qie in cigar. He'd told him to remember it and not mispronounce it.

Lu Fengzhou hadn't listened.
