The Wealthy Stepmother and Her Stepdaughter Become a Hit on a Variety Show

[Please add to your collection!]

Jiang Lan transmigrates into a wealthy-family romance as the wicked stepmother, a vicious woman who abuses her stepdaughter and spends every day plotting how to kill the heroine and steal her man.

Jiang Lan: Thanks, but I'm too young to be anyone's stepmother.

Just as she's packing her bags, ready to flee the depths of the wealthy household in the middle of the night, she notices a scrawny little figure curled up in the corner. Her heart tightens.

Her stepdaughter, Gu Zhizhi, has tears welling in her big eyes. In a feeble voice, she says, “Food... hungry...”

As if afraid of making Jiang Lan angry, the little girl's voice grows weaker and weaker, her eyes filled with fear.

Jiang Lan: “...”

Fine, she can be a stepmother. The kid is obedient, and her husband never comes home but sends her money every day. Not a bad deal.

The director of the reality show Everyday Life with a Rich Family invites Jiang Lan to appear on the show with her stepdaughter.

Jiang Lan looks at the hefty paycheck, with all those zeroes, and is tempted.

The director assumes Jiang Lan will mistreat her stepdaughter on the family show. It would make for great footage, and there'd be no shortage of buzz. They know all too well how messy rich-family stepmothers can be.

But then

While the other parents teach their children music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Jiang Lan takes her stepdaughter to learn kickboxing.

Jiang Lan: “You need to learn how to protect yourself. If anyone ever bullies you, hit them right back!”

While other parents take their children to tutoring classes and start piling on the pressure from an early age, Jiang Lan takes her stepdaughter up the mountain to gather wild herbs, go camping, and learn wilderness survival.

Jiang Lan: “You need to learn to live in harmony with nature. That's how you'll live longer.”

While other parents show off their children's awards, Jiang Lan just strokes her stepdaughter's head and says, “You need to learn to be content. That's how you'll be happier. All you need to do is grow up to be someone who doesn't harm society.”

Through sheer effort, Jiang Lan turns a child with autism into a child with an extreme case of social confidence.

Director and audience, stunned: “Where's the wicked stepmother we were promised??? Waaaah, give me a dozen moms like this!”

-

One day, while Jiang Lan is out with Gu Zhizhi, they run into the original novel's hero and heroine: one is her former boyfriend, and the other is her sworn enemy.

The sworn enemy rolls her eyes as soon as she sees Jiang Lan and sneers, “I go on one date and somehow you're there too. You're like a ghost that won't leave me alone.”

The ex-boyfriend pulls out a bouquet of roses for the original heroine and hurriedly distances himself from Jiang Lan. “Babe, you're the only one in my heart. I was blind to have ever been interested in a woman like her.”

Jiang Lan looks utterly disgusted. She crouches down face-to-face with Gu Zhizhi and fires back sarcastically, “Zhizhi, remember this. Next time you meet a man like that, stay far away. Don't end up like that big sister. Cherish your life and stay away from scumbags.”

Gu Zhizhi nods firmly to show she understands. “Stay away from scumbags!”

The original hero and heroine: “...”

Gu Jiayi, CEO of the Gu Group, is worth a trillion and is cold by nature. He's famous for being a workaholic.

Rumor has it that his one true love is overseas, his child was left behind by his first love, and he can't stand his current wife. He rarely comes home.

But can someone tell them who that tall figure kneeling in remorse in the video is???

“Alan, I know I was wrong.” Gu Jiayi kneels on the floor with a keyboard beneath him, confessing with a wounded look. “Next time I do the laundry, I'll remember to put the laundry pods in the washing machine. I'll use less salt in the food...”

Gu Zhizhi holds up her phone to record it, giving the audience a live report: “Good evening, viewers. This is Gu Zhizhi reporting on everyday life. A friendly reminder: don't marry a man who can't do housework, like my dad.”

“My parents are getting divorced in a couple of days. I'll livestream it for you then!”

Gu Jiayi: “...”

What should you do when your little cotton-padded jacket lets in a draft? Asking online, urgent!

Important notes:

1. The heroine was abused as a child, so she feels deeply for her stepdaughter. The mother and daughter heal and save each other.

2. The male lead has no first love he can't forget. The stepdaughter isn't his biological child. Both leads are pure in body and mind, and he's working hard to become a good father and husband.

3. The heroine has few scenes with the original hero and heroine. The story focuses on raising a child and is funny, healing, sweet, and satisfying.

Theme: Pay attention to children's physical and emotional well-being
