Being a Wicked Stepmother Isn't Easy

Gu Ting transmigrates into a story about redemption and becomes the stepmother shared by the male lead and the villain. The male lead has a mental illness, and the villain suffers from depression. They torment each other. One commits suicide, the other jumps off a building, and even death cannot settle the grievances between them. "I refuse to start the mission. You can erase me." System: [...?] On the day the male lead decides to move out of the Shen family home, the stepmother who has always disliked him makes a rare appearance. Gu Ting stands on the second floor, looking down at him. "Your father said you're a minor. If anything happens while you're living alone, I don't want people saying that the Shen family's stepmother couldn't tolerate you." His dad is so busy he can't even keep track of what's going on here. This kid is only seventeen. If he lives by himself, what if he starves or freezes to death one day? Well, as his stepmother, it's my responsibility to look after him. A stepmother is still a mother! Male lead: "?" He's certain he didn't imagine hearing that. "And you!" The stepmother's expression changes as she starts yelling at the other young master of the house. "Dead last in class, skipping school, fighting, you do it all. Quite the talent!" His teacher's complaints all come to me. I wonder if he got hurt. Should I call a doctor to check him out? Should I go to the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow? Sigh, being a stepmother is hard. Villain: "...?" Wait! That woman didn't open her mouth, did she? [2] The self-produced drama Love and the Moonlight, starring Gu Ting, becomes a box office hit.

[@Gu Ting, President Shen has been wronged!] [Give him a title already.] [Hahaha, President Shen is asking for a title online.] [Content warnings] 1. The male and female leads are both virgins. The son isn't biologically hers. 2. Plot-driven story, with plenty of plot. The main focus is family bonds and raising kids. 3. The original host is the original host, and Gu Ting is Gu Ting. They are two different people, and the original host won't be deliberately vilified. There will be a plot point where people discover the female lead isn't the original person.
