An idea-driven story. Setting this aside for now; updates will be very slow. Please don't collect it yet, and if you do, please keep it in your collection. I'll start updating more seriously once it makes the rankings, and I'll write more after my exams.
Tang Xi wakes up one day to discover she has transmigrated into a book, becoming the doomed young mother of the heroines of four quintessential Jinjiang novels.
She is twenty-two, with four daughters who are about her age, and some are even older than she is.
Her daughters are all adorable, but she is in agony.
Her talented eldest daughter, who can sing and dance, is the heroine of a domineering CEO story about a woman who runs away while pregnant. Before long, she'll have a one-night stand with the CEO and flee overseas for years.
Her breathtakingly beautiful second daughter is the heroine of a groveling-ex romance. The top-tier star she loves cares only about her face and treats her as a stand-in for the woman he can't forget. In the book, this leaves her depressed for three years before she finally recovers.
Her quick-witted third daughter is the male lead of a story about showing off. Every day, he tells the third daughter to get out of the house while clearly wanting the opposite, then drags her back inside the very next second and does this and that to her, like some kind of violent maniac.
Her most obedient and sensible youngest daughter is the heroine of a healing romance about a yandere. She fawns over the yandere male lead just to get him to glance back at her with a smile, and they torment each other as he remains gloomy and cold.
After transmigrating, Tang Xi wants nothing more than to make all those lousy men get lost!
Confronted with the male lead of the pregnancy-and-run story, who gets her eldest daughter pregnant without using a condom, she picks up the phone and says, "Honey, you don't want a dog of a man who won't use a condom. Take him out of commission right there in bed!"
Her second son-in-law, from the groveling-ex story: "Sweetie, what kind of dog is he? Get the story about how he used you as a stand-in while pining for his white moonlight trending! Ruin him!"
Her third son-in-law, from the story about showing off: "I've already called the best doctor at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Hurry up and take him in for a checkup to see if he needs to be hospitalized!"
Her fourth son-in-law, from the healing story: "Sweetie, stay away from yanderes. You'll end up with Stockholm syndrome. Tell him to get treatment for his problems!"
All she wants is to protect her precious daughters so they never have to suffer a life of upheaval and hardship again.
*
Later, the male lead of the pregnancy-and-run story stops running away. He sincerely promises to build a happy life with the eldest daughter, and they have a wedding of the century.
The second son-in-law from the groveling-ex story stops giving her the cold shoulder. Instead, he writes tens of thousands of words of self-criticism and sincerely courts the second daughter all over again.
The third son-in-law from the story about showing off stops making outrageous remarks. He takes to the kitchen and becomes a doting husband.
The fourth son-in-law from the yandere story stops shutting himself off, cooperates with his treatment, and starts trying to love the whole world.
The young mother who successfully reformed her sons-in-law, Tang Someone, whose name she prefers not to reveal, says: "I have just one principle."
"Before my daughters learn to love anyone else, they must love themselves even more."
The male lead appears relatively late, and the romance comes later.
The early part focuses on family bonds. The heroine transmigrates into the book in her own body; the specific reason is explained in the story.
