This is Xia Qing's first month after transmigrating.

From the start, she's in an outrageous situation: a wealthy widow who killed her husband, with an adopted delinquent stepson thrown in for good measure.

Her: …Instant mom, pain-free?

The boy barely knows her, and he can't stand her. He treats her like she's invisible.

Yi Zhixing is rebellious and arrogant, the prince of skipping class and a permanent fixture in the disciplinary office. Every week, he's down by the flagpole reading out a written apology.

Xia Qing: Time to start the Urban Delinquent Transformation Plan.

So Yi Zhixing notices that his stepmother, who usually treats him like air, has been paying a lot of attention to him these past few days.

One second he's trying to skip class by climbing over a wall, and the next he sees his stepmother on the other side, holding up a parasol, sipping coconut juice, and smiling at him with maternal affection.

When he stays out all night, his stepmother gathers the city's security staff. They scour the streets and alleys with megaphones, holding up a picture of him as a child in a red bellyband, making him want to die of embarrassment on the spot.

Yi Zhixing finally snaps. "Can you stop meddling in my business?"

Xia Qing smiles at him. "No, because I'm your mom."

Everyone says Yi Zhixing and his stepmother are like fire and water, each wishing the other would disappear. The two of them joining a parent-child variety show is bound to be a joke.

But on the latest season, viewers see the once-temperamental rebel standing obediently by the door, holding Xia Qing's bag.

When they reach a river, everyone looks for a way to cross without getting their shoes and socks wet. The rebellious boy simply turns around and carries Xia Qing on his back.

Even during the cooking segment, Xia Qing lounges in a chair and gives Yi Zhixing instructions from afar. He follows them so obediently, wearing a serious expression the whole time.

Everyone gets it: Xia Qing is a gentle, kind mother!

But that night, the hashtag "Queen of Comebacks" trends. Viewers see a side of Xia Qing they'd never known about!

Countless video clips shoot to the top of the trending list. Xia Qing looks warm and benevolent in them, but then the next second:

I'm cursing you to die young.

Okay, then I hope you're safely in your grave by tomorrow.

You can tell from her face she's in the sex trade.

Sorry, Number Four. I didn't pick you yesterday, and it upset you. Don't worry, I'll book you for the whole night tonight.

Someone must be backing her behind the scenes.

A sugar daddy? Oh, right, your dad was backing me. I just got him killed yesterday. Why don't you call me Mom?

Ugly people always make a scene.

I'm sorry I didn't manage to kill off an under-evolved, small-brained ape like you.

Overnight, Xia Qing becomes a sensation. Countless people say they want to borrow her mouth.

She thought she could settle down and enjoy a quiet retirement, but her supposedly dead husband suddenly comes back to life!

The man stands at the door holding a rare gemstone he just bought at auction. "I heard you want a divorce?"

Xia Qing is so awkward she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes. "Haha, sorry, what was that? The wind was so strong I couldn't hear you."

Later, things quiet down, and her haters assume Xia Qing has lost her backing and finally fallen from grace.

But on the latest dating show shared by the young master, they spot a familiar figure.

Xia Qing walks ahead, followed by a man hauling a mountain of luggage. Could that be the richest man in the country?

A lighthearted, funny daily-life story.

One-on-one romance, each other's first love, a sweet little treat.
