Qin Zhiyi woke up to find that she had transmigrated into a book, becoming the male lead's second wife and the stepmother of his sixteen-year-old son.
This book is more or less a no-romance story. The male lead is a business tycoon whose only concern is his career. He barely cares about his son, let alone his wife, and comes home fewer times a year than you can count on one hand.
Qin Zhiyi: ...What? I just got here and I'm already destined to be a widow in all but name?
Still, Qin Zhiyi decided not to divorce him just yet. Though the whole internet hated her, she had a burning ambition to make a comeback in her career.
For her first step toward a comeback, Qin Zhiyi decided to bring her stepson along to join a hugely popular parent-child variety show.
Qin Zhiyi: Come on the show with me, and we'll split whatever we earn, two-eight.
Her good son: Three-seven. And in exchange, you'll attend the parent-teacher meeting this semester...
Qin Zhiyi: Deal. I'll definitely be there on time.
Her good son: It's a deal!
Once filming began, the other pairs were all warm uncle-and-nephew duos, brotherly siblings, or loving mothers and filial children.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhiyi and her good son were a chaotic disaster, turning their home upside down and making each other's lives miserable.
But before long, this mother-son duo, with only seven years between them, somehow became famous in the most unbelievable way.
[Netizen A: They teamed up to blow up the kitchen. What kind of disaster-zone mother and son are these?]
[Netizen B: No way, they can both sleep like the dead. Thunder couldn't wake them up, and the director's been waiting at the door for half an hour!]
[Netizen C: I'm dying. They secretly ordered takeout without telling each other, and then the two delivery guys ran into each other at the door.]
[Netizen D: But there are sweet moments, too. The son is so thoughtful. He even helped his single mom get a handsome guy's contact info. I'm touched.]
Wait, hold on! If I remember correctly, Qin Zhiyi's husband, the good son's biological father, should still be alive... right?
@Song Ye, stop focusing only on work. Your wife is about to run off and remarry with your son!

Not long after transmigrating into the book, Qin Zhiyi not only pulled off her comeback, she also somehow won over Song Ye.
Song Ye was a little on the old side, but he was still in pretty good shape. Qin Zhiyi reluctantly agreed not to divorce him.
But she wasn't happy about his workaholic ways. In a fit of pique, she packed her bags, grabbed her good son, and went on vacation to an island.
As soon as their plane landed, Song Ye called.
Qin Zhiyi: What did your dad say?
Her good son: He threatened to teach us a lesson.
Qin Zhiyi scoffed. He wouldn't dare!
Her good son looked at his suddenly frozen bank card and nearly cried. Sure, he couldn't do anything to you, but taking me down is easy as pie! QAQ
A minute later, Song Ye called again.
Qin Zhiyi, thoroughly annoyed: Call again and interrupt my afternoon tea, and your wife is running away.
The usually stern and restrained tycoon asked cautiously, "Then... can I come with you?"
*Content warning: Neither lead is a virgin.
Theme: True love can overcome anything.
