The Biological Mother Who Died Young in the Stepmother Novel Is Back

[Upcoming: Taking My High-Maintenance Sister on a Variety Show] ------Novel Blurb------ Xia Shi dies, then comes back to life. Someone tells her that the world she lives in is a stepmother novel. The beautiful, innocent young stepmother is the sweet, delicate heroine, while Xia Shi is merely the doomed biological mother who has children for the heroine and gives her a husband. After the young, beautiful stepmother appears, she will heal the cold, withdrawn son Xia Shi gave birth to, who has turned dark, and warm the heart of Xia Shi’s husband, who is lonely and empty after losing his wife. The young stepmother is like a little sun, illuminating the rest of the two male leads’ lives. Xia Shi: ...The rest of your ass. She’s been dead for only seven years, and he’s already found a stepmother, a new wife??? Cheng, you son of a!!! On the third day after coming back to life, Xia Shi watches the handsome young men passing by on the street. She has a sudden change of heart: “Fine, you can have them, you can have them. Not just the kid, you can have my husband too. Men are everywhere!” * The first time Cheng Fuye sees the new maid at home, she is looking him over. He frowns. Disdainful, disgusted, ready to tell her to get lost. Then, the very next second, he hears the thoughts in her head. “This kid was so fair and cute when he was little. How did he get so ugly when he grew up?” Cheng Fuye: ??? I’m the school heartthrob! “He doesn’t look very bright. How does he even have the nerve to act all dark and brooding?” Cheng Fuye flips the table on the spot: I’m angry! (Already darkened version) “How could I give birth to such a stupid kid? What’s the point of being alive? I might as well die.” This time, Cheng Fuye falls silent. When he looks up again, his eyes are red and his voice is full of grievance. “I won’t let you die.” Xia Shi: ? Cheng Fuye has always believed he was a curse. His birth ruined his mother’s health, and in the end, he even angered his own mother to death in her hospital bed. He is a wretched child. He lets himself go, grows more and more short-tempered, and even his own father has given up on him. He never imagined that now Heaven would send his mother back to his side. Cheng Fuye turns over a new leaf on the spot. He studies hard, strives to improve, and becomes his mother’s good little boy. “Mom, are you coming to the parent-teacher meeting? I’ve gone from last place to third from last.” “Mom, are you going on the variety show? Uncle Li says he misses your thick-skinned way of messing everything up while being ridiculously proud of yourself.” “Mom, would you remarry? A famous movie star asked me for your contact information.” * Everyone in the Cheng residence knows that the word “Mom” is taboo for the young master. No one dares bring it up, and anyone who lets it slip in front of him meets a terrible end. Everyone is on their best behavior, until they see the young master himself chasing after a beautiful young woman like a lackey, calling her “Mom” to curry favor. At that moment, everyone in the Cheng residence sees their whole worldview collapse, only for it to rebuild itself in an instant. They form a firm consensus and an ironclad rule: Xia Shi is at the top of the Cheng family food chain. Not just the young master, even the master himself has to take a step back. One day in October, the master himself returns. He stands in the darkness of the courtyard and watches the woman make a casual gesture inside the brightly lit house. He knows the world has started turning again. ----[Upcoming: Taking My High-Maintenance Sister on a Variety Show]---- In her previous life, Sheng Ning had an accident and was reborn ten years in the past, but she has no memories of those ten years. And now she has to go on a variety show with her idiot little brother... Sheng Ning lies flat: What a waste of being reborn. * If you asked Sheng Yi’an who he hated most during the first eighteen years of his life, the answer would definitely be his sister, Sheng Ning, because she’s an utterly high-maintenance diva who makes a fuss about everything. She thinks he’s stupid, and he thinks she’s a pain. To improve their relationship, their parents send the two of them on a family variety show. Sheng Ning complains: “What kind of lousy show is this? I have to go on it myself?” Her brother: “Then please, I’m begging you, don’t come!” Ever since Sheng Ning joins the show, every day is agony for her little brother. She only drinks warm water, not hot or cold. It’s too hot, so she won’t go outside. It’s windy and raining, so she won’t go outside. The show’s tasks are about to be a complete disaster... On the third day, the young lady finally makes a move. Sheng Ning: “Let’s get a taxi. I’m too lazy to walk.” Her brother is breaking down. “You’re not my sister, you’re my ancestor! You spent all my money. I’ve only got ten yuan left. How are you going to take a taxi?” Sheng Ning: “Oh? You should’ve said so earlier.” With one phone call, Sheng Ning summons one, two, three... forty people to help with the tasks. Three of them get to work, while the other thirty-seven gather around Sheng Ning. Her brother: “...” The enormous wealth gap between the siblings makes everyone start wondering whether the younger brother, Sheng Yi’an, was adopted. Her brother: “Thanks, I hate it.” The deeper the digging goes, the more netizens discover: the designer clothes her brother wears were bought by his sister, the top-of-the-line musical instruments he uses were bought by his sister, and she paid for the eye-wateringly expensive publicity on the day he debuted. If that doesn’t count as spoiling him... Netizens: “Sis, do you need a little brother?” #Brother: Another day of being my sister’s little lackey. I’m happy!# Sheng Ning single-handedly raises the entire production crew’s spending level. The show’s budget gets higher by the day, and the production team is crying in the bathroom, until one day Sheng Ning brings in a mysterious, big-budget sponsor. The production team: “Please, come in, please, do whatever you like!!!” Sister romance version blurb: Ji Mingxiu wakes up to find himself ten years in the past. Everything that once seemed impossible to change now has a chance to turn out differently. Theme: Cherish the people you have now
