The Pretty Socially Anxious Woman Becomes a Wealthy Family's Stepmother

Sorry, due to health reasons, updates for this book will be slower. If I really can't keep updating, I'll make it free. I'm sorry, everyone. Jiang Le is a modern-day office drone. She looks like a workhorse on the outside, but inside she's an extreme social phobic. Her greatest wish is to retire early and spend her days lying flat, without having to see anyone. Who would have thought that she'd wake up transmigrated into a novel as the male lead Si Nian's wicked stepmother, the wife of business tycoon Si Ang? Her stepson despises her, and her husband treats her like air, leaving her to fend for herself in the Si residence. On her first day there, Jiang Le took in the enormous, desolate mansion and burst into tears of excitement, covering her face. A luxurious mansion spanning tens of thousands of square meters, an unlimited credit card, and, most importantly, no need to worry about running into her husband or son. This was a social phobic's paradise! Jiang Le immediately decided to lie flat! His arranged-marriage wife had been unusually quiet lately. Just as Si Ang was wondering about it, he unexpectedly awakened to the contents of the book. It turned out all that obedient silence was just an act. The real Jiang Le was incredibly vicious. According to the story, Jiang Le was supposed to take advantage of Si Nian coming home for the weekend to mock and berate him. After driving him away, she would injure herself, then pretend to be pitiful and complain to Si Ang. After reading the plot, Si Ang frowned and hurried home. But when he got back, not only was Jiang Le nowhere to be seen injuring herself, his son was safe and sound at home, too. As for Jiang Le, there wasn't even a trace of her. The butler said, "I heard you and Young Master were coming home today, so Madam chartered a plane to go on vacation to an island first thing this morning." Si Ang: ... At that moment, Jiang Le was basking in the sunshine on the beach, letting out a long sigh of relief. Good thing I made a quick getaway, hehe! For a social phobic, seeing a ghost is better than seeing people. After forty-three days without seeing each other, Si Ang finally received a message from Jiang Le. She sent him a message saying that Si Nian had broken the rules at school and his teacher wanted a parent to come in. Si Ang sneered. Jiang Le couldn't hide it any longer and was finally coming to complain to him? But the next second, Jiang Le sent him a crying emoji. [You should go instead.] [I'm scared T_T] Si Ang: ... Si Nian had always known that his stepmother was no good, even though Jiang Le had never once approached him. Wasn't she supposed to discipline him properly? Then he'd give her the chance. So Si Nian doubled down on his rebelliousness, getting up to all kinds of "mischief." He could get the lowest score, and he wouldn't get a point more. Even after being called in for the eleventh time because of his grades, Si Nian still didn't care. Until one night, Jiang Le, who never came to see him, knocked on his bedroom door. She held a textbook in her hands, the tips of her ears red. She looked as if she had worked up all her courage before saying: "If all else fails, I can teach you." #Study, kid. Please study! I don't want to be called in by the school again T_T# #Well, facing one person is better than facing a whole bunch of teachers!# #Shocking! A wealthy stepmother knocks on her stepson's door late at night, only to ask him to study!# Coming soon: I Really Am Not Chasing Clout (Variety Show) Blurb: Cheng Cheng is the entertainment industry's undisputed notorious star. "Not famous, but always chasing clout" is what she loves to do most. Her most notorious exploits include taking on all three of the industry's top-tier stars single-handedly. When she was an extra on top-tier star Qin Zhixue's set, she tagged Qin Zhixue in eight posts a day, calling her "Sis" with such familiarity. The star didn't even spare her a glance. In an interview, she publicly declared that her favorite male idol was Luo Xingchen, and even signed with the same agency for his sake. Luo Xingchen responded coldly: "I don't know her." Even the rising Best Actor Shen Ji didn't escape her attention. She said she'd loved him since childhood and that her greatest wish was to act in a production with him. Shen Ji responded with a cold laugh: "With your acting skills?" Passersby: No one gets mocked by everyone forever, unless she's Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng: Is it possible I really like them? Fans: Get lost, you hypocrite! No one knew that the entertainment industry's three top-tier stars, Qin Zhixue, Luo Xingchen, and Shen Ji, were actually siblings who shared a mother but had different fathers. And the person they hated most was their younger sister Cheng Cheng, who also shared their mother but not their father, and had grown up by their mother's side, enjoying her undivided love. Then one day, all three had the same dream. They dreamed that their biological younger sister was actually a doomed supporting character in a novel, about to be repeatedly humiliated by the female lead on a variety show, before being hounded to death online by haters. Overnight, all three decided to join the show. Netizens: Wow, what kind of variety show can bring together the entertainment industry's three top-tier stars? This is bound to turn into a bloodbath! Passersby: I'm even more curious about how badly Cheng Cheng will be face-slapped. After all, she's chased clout from all three of them! Just as everyone was looking forward to Cheng Cheng getting face-slapped, things started to look a little strange. Cheng Cheng sweet-talked Qin Zhixue into sharing a bed. Qin Zhixue wasn't too keen, but still agreed with a cold expression. Cheng Cheng made a dessert and brought it to Best Actor Shen to try. The man who never liked sweets didn't refuse. Luo Xingchen even risked his life to complete a challenge. After winning first place, he chose Cheng Cheng as his teammate. Netizens: Explain!! We need an explanation!! Qin Zhixue/Luo Xingchen/Shen Ji: She's our younger sister. We share a mother but have different fathers. What needs explaining? The original female lead, who'd planned to climb to the top by stepping on Cheng Cheng: I can't get near her! I can't get anywhere near her! Theme: No matter what, I love you!
