The Tragic Novel's Male Lead Is Bound to a Motherly Man System

The "can fix it, can't replace it" trope

On the eve of his sophomore year midterms, Wen Li was pushed down the stairs and hit his head.

When he woke up in his hospital bed, looking at his scowling stepbrother and stepsister, three things came back to him.

One: He had been reborn.

In his previous life, he had been a classmate of the heroine in an old-school CEO romance about a domineering CEO forcing himself on a high school girl. He had done everything he could to break up the lovesick heroine and the red-eyed, unhinged male lead, and encouraged them both to study hard and help build the country.

He was killed by one of the male lead's lackeys in Chapter Three.

Two: He had transmigrated into a book again.

This time, he had entered an angsty romance.

He was the male lead of the angsty novel. After his mother had emotionally abused him for over a decade, she remarried into a wealthy family. Wen Li was then abused by his stepfather and framed by his stepbrother and stepsister. Just when he'd finally managed to leave home, his biological father forced him to sign a contract selling himself into servitude.

With nowhere else to turn, Wen Li drowned himself in a river.

Current progress: His mother has remarried into a wealthy family.

Three: His stepbrother and stepsister were the male and female leads in the CEO novel from his previous life.

At that moment, a voice rang out in Wen Li's mind.

"The Man-Mom System is online. Host Wen Li, bound."

"Current mission: Set your stepbrother and stepsister on the right path. Reform the troubled youths around you."

"And save yourself."

A worthless stepfather behind him, troubled teenage step-siblings in front of him, and a shameless biological father waiting in the distance.

Wen Li could only see a bleak future ahead.

"It's not that life is hard. It's that my life is hard."

Nie Chao and Nie Xi were a pair of star-crossed lovers in their previous life.

By the end, they'd stabbed each other in the back, and after being reborn as siblings, they came to the conclusion that they'd be better off studying hard than dating each other.

The siblings fought as soon as they met, especially when it came to their stepbrother, Wen Li.

"I wronged Wen Li in my past life. This time, I'm going to make sure my big brother has a happy life!" The male lead rolled his eyes.

"Get lost! He's my big brother!" The female lead brandished a knife.

Yet, somehow, Wen Li seemed to have gathered a lot of people around him.

The foul-tempered school bully trailed after him everywhere, and the most annoying little girl in CEO Ji's family obediently called him big brother...

Theme: Be positive and build yourself up.
