[Updates follow the rankings before signing; daily updates after signing]

One day, Yun Huan opened her eyes and found herself in a period novel, as the early-dead cannon-fodder mother of the villain in a brainless wish-fulfillment story.

Her husband had died, the original owner had fallen ill, her eldest son had been snatched away by her in-laws, and her second son had been given away by her family.

The older boy was taught that "Mom loves his little brother more," and grew up twisted and malicious. The younger boy was abandoned, becoming sensitive, insecure, and ruthless.

The brothers hated each other their entire lives, until the male lead wiped them both out.

As for the original owner, while sick, she was bundled off to marry a man in his sixties and died six months later.

Yun Huan: :)

A smile is just good manners.

When she arrived, the original owner's husband had just died. She was lying sick in bed, surrounded by people sitting in a ring, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds as they pressured her to marry the old man.

Yun Huan, who had been at death's door, sat bolt upright. She swung her arms around and gave each of them a few hard slaps, making the whole group of old women shriek.

First, she snatched back her eldest son, who had been carried away. Then she dragged her younger son off the train at the station, where he had already been sent.

Looking at her two pitiful little boys, Yun Huan's heart melted. "Don't be afraid. Mommy will protect you..."

But the children were already scared.

In the middle of the night, the older boy tearfully asked her in secret, "Mom, do you only love my little brother?"

During the day, the younger boy clung tightly to her clothes, his voice full of fear. "Mom, I'll be more obedient than my brother. Please don't abandon me."

Yun Huan kissed each of them. "No, Mommy loves you both most of all. For Mommy's sake, will you help each other and be kind to one another?"

The two boys nodded emphatically.

But before long, she found them grappling with each other in a corner where she couldn't see.

The older boy: "Mom praised my good grades, but not yours!"

The younger boy: "Mom put food in my bowl, but not yours!"

Yun Huan: "..."

Oh, you like fighting, do you? I'll send you both to learn boxing tomorrow!

A widow in the neighborhood fell seriously ill, and her personality changed completely.

She used to be timid and meek, but now she was always rolling up her sleeves with a smile, like a living King of Hell.

Everyone said she was possessed and had no sense. Her husband was dead, and she had two burdens to raise. Forget remarrying, she might not even survive.

They waited to see her make a fool of herself.

But who could have guessed she would earn money with one hand and raise her children with the other?

Not only did her life grow better and better, but a gentle, handsome young man with an impressive background followed at her heels.

Hey, we're all people, so how come her life is so much better than mine?
