The Wealthy Stepmother Came from the Wasteland [Book Transmigration]

Shu Beibei, who scavenged in the apocalypse, ended up in a world where you could eat your fill without picking through garbage.

The System told her she was the wealthy family's stepmother in a book. Her husband didn't love her, and though she tried hard to please her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and stepson, they all despised her.

Despised? Shu Beibei thought everyone treated her pretty well.

Her mother-in-law cared about her health and often cooked delicious food for her.

Whenever her sister-in-law went out, she brought her fried chicken, fries, cola, and cake, insisting she finish it all.

The little boy knew she sometimes had nothing to do and got bored, so he'd invite her to go garbage-picking with him.

System: $@#*... (No amount of explaining helped.) Fine, just remember, you're supposed to be a people-pleaser. No matter how they treat you, be as good to them as you possibly can, and in the end, make sure you get divorced.

Shu Beibei nodded.

-

Her mother-in-law's close friend had recently kept bringing up things like "handsome young men" and "getting a thrill." Her mother-in-law wanted to go but was too embarrassed, so Shu Beibei raised her hand. "I'll take you."

Her stepson liked playing hide-and-seek after school, so she played with him until late at night.

Her sister-in-law worried about her idol's health but could never see him, so Shu Beibei took her to the window outside the twenty-eighth floor. "Look, his girlfriend takes care of him full-time. He's perfectly healthy, so don't worry."

System: You... Forget it, their dislike is maxed out. This works too, I guess...

N months later, the System returned confidently to check on her, only to discover:

The sharp-tongued mother-in-law doted on Shu Beibei, showering her with jewelry and taking her out everywhere.

The gloomy sister-in-law kept saying, "Sis-in-law, hug me!" and "My brother isn't right for you. Why don't you leave him?"

The unruly stepson clung to her as soon as he came home from school and wouldn't let go even at bedtime.

Even her husband, Fu Nanjing, who barely appeared in the original plot, was coming home every few days.

System: =mouth agape=! What on earth happened?

-

People gossiped behind their backs that the Fu family's business was on the brink of collapse, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law were impossible to deal with, the illegitimate child was of unknown origin, and Shu Beibei, the daughter from the other branch of the Shu family, was so shallow that she'd shamelessly married into the family and was unlikely to have a happy ending.

Not long afterward, the Fu family uncovered a mole, resolved its business crisis, made a successful investment, and watched its stock price soar.

Everyone: Shu Beibei probably can't handle all that wealth. Look, Mr. Fu never brings her to banquets. They're probably about to divorce.

At a charity gala, Shu Beibei arrived surrounded by her mother-in-law, a newly crowned Best Actress, her sister-in-law, a newly popular manga artist, and her stepson. Mr. Fu himself bustled around serving tea and water, but couldn't even get a place near the front.

Everyone: ...Stop, we get it. Our faces are bruised from the slaps.

Upcoming: The Substitute Female Supporting Character Is a Wasteland Street Thug:

Shu Shan, a wasteland scavenger, was turned into a substitute female supporting character doted on by wealthy young master Huo Yan. To enjoy an easy, carefree life with all her needs met, she decided to play out the plot.

It's just that this guy is so boring. Sneaking out now and then to blow off steam shouldn't be a problem, right?

-

Everyone at the Huo family's villa knew that the substitute for Miss Song seemed even more fragile and innocent than the real thing, and wouldn't dare step on an ant. In reality, she was only fooling the young master. Behind his back, she lived an even wilder life than he did.

But nobody dared say it. Absolutely nobody...

-

Shu Shan: I listen to heavy metal, love lifting weights, and like racing supercars while chasing pretty boys. I have countless underlings, can open beer bottles with my teeth, and am unbeatable at square dancing.

But, Sugar Daddy, you have to believe I'm a delicate, good girl who can't live without you. Don't listen to what your uncle says!!

Huo Yan, the Sugar Daddy who kept getting beaten up for no reason: ...

Huo Shen, the pretty boy being pursued: ...
