Lu Qianxun transmigrates into a novel as the villain's stepmother.
The villain, Gu Yehan, had already become a delinquent in high school, ruling the school with an arrogant, overbearing manner. As an adult, he turns into a sinister business tycoon who makes life difficult for the male and female leads at every turn.
One transmigrator after another tries everything they can to change Gu Ye Han, but no one can warm his heart or alter his fate.
System: "You're the 100th transmigrator sent to reform the villain! Just treat him well and let him feel the warmth of the world, and he'll surely mend his ways!"
Lu Qianxun: "Ninety-nine people already tried and failed, and you still expect me to reform him? Forget it, I'm clocking out."

At school, Gu Yehan is mocked as a wild child with no mother. Furious, he beats up the other student. The school summons Gu Yehan's parent, demanding they discipline him and pay the victim 100,000 yuan in medical expenses.
Lu Qianxun puts on her prettiest makeup and best outfit, shows up at the meeting, and hands the victim's family 500,000 yuan. Then she tells Gu Yehan, "Did that feel good? If not, go ahead and hit him four more times."
System: ?
The other student's parents: ?

All the servants at home are afraid of the cold, ruthless Gu Yehan, and no one dares approach him.
Only Lu Qianxun takes him shopping, gets spa treatments with him, and spends the whole day having a blast at an amusement park.
System: "I get it! You're reforming the villain through fun!"
Lu Qianxun: "These shopping bags are too heavy. Why not put such a young, strong pair of hands to work?"
System: ??

The System finally realizes that Lu Qianxun only cares about having a good time. She couldn't care less about reforming the villain.
Not only does she fail to reform him, she eggs him on as he heads down the path to becoming evil, afraid he won't turn out evil enough!
The System is despairing.
Its performance bonus is gone, and this Host is going to blow it again!
But Gu Yehan's grades keep improving, his villainy score keeps plummeting, and in the end he becomes the top scorer on the college entrance exam.
At the school assembly, he says, "The person I'm most grateful to is my stepmother. I have to study hard so I can make money and support her when I'm older..."
System: ???

Gu Yuming is the hapless father of Gu Yehan, the villain in the novel.
One day, Gu Yuming comes home from a business trip, hoping to catch up with his son, whom he hasn't seen in days.
As soon as he walks into the living room, he hears Gu Yehan's cheerful voice:
"Sister Qianxun, take a look! These are all the eligible bachelors I've lined up for you! They've got the looks and the bodies! Which one do you like? I can help set you up!"
Gu Yuming: ?
Why does he suddenly feel like someone's turned his hair green?
Later, one morning, Gu Yehan excitedly pounds on Gu Yuming's door.
"Dad! Something terrible happened! Sister Qianxun is gone! She must think you're too old and run off!"
Gu Yuming gets up with a headache and covers the ears of the person sleeping beside him.
"Stop shouting, or you'll wake her."
