Because I received too much negativity while writing, the ending was rushed in the middle and later parts. If that bothers you, please don't read. If you don't like it, please don't subscribe. Thank you for your support.
Shi Ting transmigrates into the role of a wealthy family's stepmother. Her savings are untouched, her husband is gone, and life is good.
The one thing marring her happiness is that she's in a crime novel, and she's about to become a suspect and be arrested
The elder stepson and daughter-in-law she got for free are both seriously dangerous.
The kind of dangerous where they die together for love right at the start of the novel.
On the surface, the original Shi Ting refused an invitation to a mother-in-law-and-daughter-in-law variety show, leaving her daughter-in-law with no way back into the entertainment industry and driving her into depression and death. Her stepson also fell out with Shi Ting, making life at home unbearable.
But there are other secrets behind the scenes.
For the sake of a happy future, Shi Ting decides to win over her stepson and help her daughter-in-law return to the entertainment industry, so she can avoid a trip to jail.
So she quickly looks up her daughter-in-law's profile.
That's right. As her mother-in-law, she's never even met her daughter-in-law. She has to rely on the all-purpose search engine.
She discovers that her daughter-in-law, Su Lan, is a two-time award-winning actress, age 29.
A younger man, huh? Shi Ting casually taps her ID card, then freezes and looks down:
Shi Ting, female, born January 1995, currently 28 years old.
Shi Ting: ...
#I'mOnlyOneYearOlderThanMyDaughterInLaw#
*Bonus scene*
Su Lan left the entertainment industry for love two years ago. By the time she returned, everything had changed. Newcomers kept appearing, and it seemed there was no place for her anymore. Just when a variety show finally reached out, it turned out to be a mother-in-law-and-daughter-in-law show.
Her manager was firm. This was probably her last chance.
Today, Su Lan is meeting her mother-in-law for the first time, and she's nervous.
Maybe it's because they're livestreaming, but Su Lan enters the wrong password three times, alerting the person inside. When the door opens, a woman in an oversized T-shirt leans halfway out, bleary-eyed, with one rounded shoulder casually exposed.
The two women meet eyes for the first time and both freeze.
Then a long arm reaches out and wraps around Shi Ting's waist.
Comments:
If I remember correctly, Shi Qi's father passed away, right?
Holy crap, the mother-in-law gets around!
Trending topic alert: Shi Qi's got a brand-new stepdad!

My next romance novel: *The Heroine, But She's Losing It*
*The Internet's Most Hated Supporting Character Is the Top-Tier Star's Mother Who Died Young*
A reading guide for my dear readers:
*Highlights! This is a ridiculous, made-up story. Just have fun reading and don't take it seriously!
The following content contains spoilers. If you don't need warnings, or don't want them to affect your reading experience, feel free to skip ahead~
Warnings:
1. Female lead, non-virgin male lead. Before the heroine transmigrated, the original was a wicked supporting character who did many bad things. She was the suspect in the original story. As everyone knows, suspects are usually people the authorities have evidence against. Shi Ting wants to protect her future, so she helps her daughter-in-law.
2. The stepson, Shi Qi, uses a stage name to honor his mother. His surname is Qi, and Shi Qi and Shi Ting are blood relatives. She's not his stepmother, she's his aunt. That's right, the original stole her older sister's man and willingly became his mistress. Her stepson hates her, and the backstory is every bit as melodramatic as it sounds.
3. There's a reason nearly everyone in the Shi family dies in the original story. Things aren't as simple as they seem. Su Lan's suicide may not have been suicide. It certainly wasn't just because of one variety show; that was only the trigger. Otherwise, I wouldn't have written a police-officer male lead.
8. I'll save evidence of every unreasonable or abusive comment about the author. Hiring a lawyer is always my top priority.
Upcoming novel 1
*The Attention-Seeking Cannon Fodder Is the Top-Tier Star's Mother Who Died Young*
He Tang is a cannon-fodder actor for the Transmigration Bureau. She's transmigrated into countless books and never gets attached to anyone. The only thing she might not have been able to let go of was the one child she truly carried for ten months.
When the transmigration alert rings again, He Tang becomes a female cannon-fodder character in an entertainment-industry novel.
Her mission: fall madly in love with the top-tier star Ji Yan, chase him into the entertainment industry, and use her big-breasted, empty-headed persona and self-indulgent behavior to make the heroine look noble and flawless.
She can work with everything else. He Tang stares at the name Ji Yan for a long time, deep in thought. Um... how about maternal love instead?
System: ...That could work.
2. *Mom and Dad Went to Save the World and Left Me the Granary*
The planet has changed, and natural and man-made disasters strike all at once.
Zhou Xingxing crosses a mountain of corpses and returns home, only to find a note.
[Sweetheart, there's been a disturbance in the universe's spacetime. We've gone to save the world. Remember to guard the family granary. Once you fill it up, you'll be able to come see us.]
Zhou Xingxing: ...
Are my parents... really this chuuni?
Then she looks up at the suspiciously unserious square object.
[Ooh, where did this little girl come from? Such a pretty face. Makes my mouth water!]
[Oh, of course, I do know how to behave. I'll do my best to hold back until you fail. So, are you ready to fill me up with rice, flour, and soybean oil?]
Zhou Xingxing: ...
Theme: Be self-reliant and keep striving! Stay positive! Happiness is something you have to win with your own two hands!
I was so confused that I finished reading it... Are you still confused after reading it? …
It feels a bit... Inexplicable?
I seem to be running out of ideas. Why do we need to adopt a child jointly?
Emmm, I kind of know why Lu Zhanming is not as good as his brother.
Catching bugs, assistant Lu Zhanming has become assistant Lu Zhanhan~
So it's almost over? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh do two people fall in love.
Isn't it funny to give away the bracelet? ? ? That's an heirloom from the Lu family, should you give it away directly? ? ? ?
No, it suddenly started to feel a bit scary.
Ah, this... I thought it was a sand sculpture, but this place gives me a feeling of fear.
Hmm... So to speak, it can be regarded as coming full circle.
