In outsiders' eyes, Jiang Yin had used a child to climb the social ladder and was a deeply calculating, unfathomable schemer. The rumors grew wilder and louder by the day.
But Jiang Yin didn't care.
She was content. Though plenty in her life still left something to be desired, her beloved husband and daughter were by her side, and nothing else mattered.
Until one day, rows of comments drifted before her eyes.
[Campus romance is so pure and sweet. I love watching Song Yi and Tong Nian together. They're both gorgeous!]
Jiang Yin: “Young love?!”
[Jiang Yin doesn't care about anything and only thinks of herself. No wonder her husband is cheating.]
Jiang Yin: “Cheating?!”
[Song Yi went to a hotel room. Aren't these two moving a little fast?]
Jiang Yin: “W-what?!”
Jiang Yin: “< (°O°) >”
Jiang Yin soon discovered that she was the supporting female character in a melodramatic live-streamed drama, and began diligently repairing her family's precarious relationships.

Viewers were happily waiting for the supporting female character to leave the story, when they suddenly noticed:
[Holy crap, can someone tell me where my daughter went? The one who got less than 200 points across all six subjects, was dark-hearted and rebellious, skipped class, got into fights, and was a total academic disaster?]
[Who is this impeccably dressed, ridiculously good-looking top student giving a speech as the student representative?!!!]
[Waaaaah, my husband used to be cold, stern, and unsmiling, a total workaholic. Then he caught Jiang Yin's disease, and everything changed! Everything is ruined!!]

“Isn't it embarrassing to still want hugs at your age?”
Jiang Yin pushed away the clingy older man and started missing the days when he spent three hundred days a year on business trips.
Xu Xuexiao rested his chin on the crown of her head, wrapped his arms tightly around her, and chuckled. “I'm not just hugging you. I'm going to kiss you, too.”
