The School Hunk's Wealthy Stepmom Wins by Doing Nothing

Ruan Ling transmigrates into a campus novel and becomes the male lead’s wealthy stepmother.

Sixteen-year-old campus heartthrob Ye Xu is handsome and excels at school, admired and envied by countless people.

But he lost his parents when he was little, and after being adopted by his uncle, he never felt the warmth of a family.

Growing up without a childhood or family affection made Ye Xu precocious, reserved, and taciturn. He never opened his heart to anyone.

Ruan Ling: I get it. I have to heal my stepson’s emotional wounds and be a good mom!

System: No. Your mission is to maintain the villainous stepmother persona from the book and keep the world stable.

Ruan Ling: …

After school, Ye Xu is heading to his room alone when Ruan Ling stops him.

Ruan Ling: What happened at school today? You can’t leave until you tell me!

Ruan Ling ends up listening with rapt attention, and Ye Xu is forced to keep her updated on what happens next.

On the weekend, Ye Xu has just woken up when Ruan Ling drags him into the living room.

Ruan Ling: Watch this romance drama with me. We have to see the finale!

Half an hour later, Ruan Ling falls asleep first, and Ye Xu quietly covers her with a blanket.

One day, the powerful head of the Ye family unexpectedly leaves work on time, just so he can have dinner with his wife and son.

In the living room, Ruan Ling and Ye Xu are huddled together on the sofa, fingers flying. No one pays any attention to President Ye, who hurried home.

Ruan Ling: Xu-ge! I’ve set you up for your ultimate move. Go!

President Ye: …

What should I do if my wife ignores me while gaming and calls our son her bro? Asking for a friend. It’s urgent.

.

Later, Ye Xu unexpectedly goes viral online and is dubbed the campus novel male lead who escaped into the real world.

Netizens dig up a blog Ye Xu posted in middle school and accuse Ruan Ling of failing as a mother.

The next day, Ye Xu publicly stands up for Ruan Ling in an interview: “My life only began to have light after she came along.”

A week later, Ruan Ling is photographed taking a walk hand in hand with a handsome man, setting off a storm online.

[Ruan Ling, you’re so heartless! Ye Xu defended you for nothing!]

That night, business tycoon Ye Jingchi posts: I never thought a walk with my wife would get photographed. Thanks, everyone, for caring about our family.

The photo is a family portrait.

Netizens: …

[Her husband is the male lead of a CEO romance, and her son is the male lead of a campus novel. What kind of winner’s life is this?]

[Reader’s guide]

1. The male lead is 34 when he marries the heroine. His heart and body belong entirely to her.

2. A sweet, satisfying story, not an entertainment-industry novel, though it has a small amount of entertainment-industry content.

Theme: Love life.
