I Reincarnated into a Depressing Parenting Novel

8.9: I'm starting a thorough edit of the whole novel. I'll replace the earlier chapters one by one. I've been pretty busy lately, so I'm not sure when I'll finish editing it. But I'll do my best to hurry. Blurb: I transmigrated into a heartwarming childcare novel. The demon king was cold and bloodthirsty, but he doted on the adopted daughter he had found, holding her in the palm of his hand and making her the cherished darling of the family for her whole life. I was the demon king's daughter. But I wasn't that cherished darling. That was my adoptive younger sister. They said my birth mother, who had been dead for many years, had toyed with the young demon king's affections and abandoned him, so he couldn't stand me. In the original novel, I was the female lead's foil. I caused trouble everywhere and eventually brought about my own death. When I first arrived, the System told me I had to win the demon king over and raise his affection and familial affection to 100% if I wanted to survive in this world. Since it was difficult, it waved its hand and gave me eight chances. I was young and fearless. Looking at the demon king's face, so much like my real-life dad's, I thought this would be easy. It's not like I had to fall in love or win over some heartless man. Surely I knew my own dad, right? So I worked diligently and tried to win him over through seven whole lifetimes. I failed seven times. I was left utterly broken, constantly doubting myself, and even developed that, um, depression thing. In the seventh life, I went searching for medicine for him when he was gravely injured. Surrounded by a horde of demons, I died far from home. When my soul drifted back, I saw him celebrating my adoptive younger sister's birthday, not caring whether I lived or died. I was finally tired. Reborn for the eighth time, I was completely done with everything. So what if I died? I wasn't going to try to win him over anymore. But in this life, my mother came back to life. She promised me that as long as I stayed alive, she would deal with my father. Three hundred years after the Divine Maiden of Shangcang sacrificed her divine soul to save the world and vanished completely, the world had forgotten her divine name. When she woke again, she was a cripple, every meridian in her body severed. Her husband, who had cut off all attachments, did not recognize her. Her child, after being killed seven times, had run off with a pretty boy. Her fists clenched. They really clenched. This is probably a childcare story with a little slapstick and a focus on family. The plot develops slowly, and the pacing will be fairly leisurely. Updates come every day at midnight. I'll ask for leave if there's no update. CPs: Widowed father x long-dead beloved goddess mother Sharp-tongued, haughty immortal man x world-weary little princess One-on-one romances, all leads sexually inexperienced. The parents' and main couple's romances have a 1:3 share of the story, with more focus on the main couple. The main couple are a pair of stubborn sweethearts who secretly love each other while pretending to be at odds. [Content warnings] A personal indulgence, full of melodramatic angst, misunderstandings, and tropes. It has no educational value. Although this is a family-centered story and the heroine's father is the target of her efforts to win him over, the novel revolves around the heroine and her family. Her father is only a supporting character by design. Although the hero does not appear in the blurb, the heroine spends more time with him than anyone else. The family plot will not take up a particularly large share; there is a lot of romance. The story cannot escape the old-fashioned melodramatic misunderstandings of vintage web novels. All relationships between the heroine and other characters, except the hero, are platonic. The heroine has flaws in her personality. She is world-weary and has self-destructive tendencies; she is not a perfect person. The ending is happy, with everyone together. The writing is very amateurish, and there are tons of original setting details! The heroine is silly and cute, the hero is adorably clueless, and the parents are used to solving problems with violence. The whole family couldn't scrape together half a brain. The author is extremely obsessed with good looks. Unless the plot requires it, no ugly characters will appear. There will be lots of descriptions of the protagonists' and supporting characters' appearances, especially the heroine's father and the hero. The beauty of the male characters matters most. The inspiration came from a dream within a dream. Not everyone will enjoy my personal tastes, so if anything makes you uncomfortable while reading, please leave immediately! People in ancient times already used the term “Mom,” so there's nothing wrong with the heroine calling her mother that. Theme: Love life.
