Shi Yi is getting old. In the apocalypse, she can't outrun the young and is bitten to death by a zombie.
When she wakes up, she's become the biased biological mother of two top-tier stars and the cold stepmother of a campus heartthrob.
She abandoned her eldest son in their hometown when she remarried, and he grew cold and withdrawn while fighting over the inheritance. She took her second son with her and spoiled him rotten, turning him into an arrogant tyrant. She ignored and bullied her stepson, leaving him sensitive and desperate for affection.
...Because of what she did, she raised three sons who were all emotionally damaged.
In the end, the protagonist took revenge, destroying the family and leaving Shi Yi without even an intact corpse.
Now, however, she is back before the story begins.
Shi Yi sighs with relief. There's still time to save everything.
Faced with her three sons and their tangled relationships, she goes straight to work on healing each of them in the way they need.
The whole family is in for a major shake-up.
Second son's perspective:
Mom used to love me most. She gave me the resources and the money. But everything changed when she gave her latest script to Big Brother.
Before he could even process it, his stepbrother started getting a lot more attention from her, too.
I can't compete with her biological son, and now I can't even compete with someone who isn't her son?
Later, he realizes that even people outside the family are competing for Mom.
No one is allowed to take her away from him. He's the most legitimate bloodline in the family, the family's true-born son!
'If Mom likes Big Brother's maturity, I can learn to be mature too, can't I?'
'If she likes my stepbrother's good grades, I can study too, can't I?'
'If she likes my coworker's beautiful singing, I can learn to sing too, can't I?'
He used to have to watch out for rivals trying to steal his resources.
Now he also has to watch out for rivals trying to steal his mom?
Pre-release blurb
Three Villainous Sons' Wealthy Mom
*
The actress Qiao Chen is in a car accident and falls into a coma. When she wakes up, she's somehow five years in the future. A voice in her mind tells her she's the doomed biological mother in a novel.
All three of her sons are villains. They grow up to oppose the male lead and meet tragic ends, while she has her medical expenses cut off and dies in a hospital bed.
At first, she doesn't believe it, until her youngest son gets into an argument and pushes the male lead into the water.
The eldest son doesn't care. 'It's fine. At least nobody died.'
The second son eggs him on. 'I've hated that guy for ages.'
The third son says, 'He provoked me first.'
Qiao Chen feels faint over and over again. After disciplining them one by one, the eldest son kneels and says, 'Don't worry, Mom. I'll take care of everything.'
The second son gets slapped and looks nostalgic. 'It's been five years. Mom finally hit me again.'
The third son's palm is bright red. He falls to the ground in tears. 'Am I no longer Mom's favorite son?'
Qiao Chen: '...'
What on earth has their father turned them into over these five years?
Qiao Chen has been married three times, and had a different son with each man. She divorced them because each man had his own deeply rooted flaws.
Only now does she realize that the children have taken after their fathers to a T.
But the children are already born, and five years apart is five years apart. She can't exactly stuff them back inside and start over.
In the original story, the three sons enter the entertainment industry just to follow in her footsteps. They neglect their work and have terrible personalities, making them universally hated.
So actress Qiao Chen takes her three sons on a family variety show.
After the show starts airing, viewers learn that Qiao Chen has three sons. They also discover that the "Mom" the three universally despised boys keep talking about is Qiao Chen.
'Even Qiao Chen can't change how awful her sons are thought to be.'
But no one expected what happened next
The business genius invited on the show points at the eldest son. 'You remind me of my boss.'
The technology genius invited on the show is effortlessly crushed by the second son. The second son says, 'I just didn't want to take part in such a troublesome competition.'
Even the mascot invited to act cute and cling to people can't compete with the third son.
The three sons are not only smart and well-behaved, but incredibly filial. The eldest takes care of everything for Mom, the second uses technology to make her life easier, and the third stays by her side, acting cute and clingy.
The internet erupts in shock. Three rebellious boys turn into obedient sons the second they get home.
'The country rewards people for having kids, right? I'll have three, then.'
Wife, children, I'm your long-lost family member!
After the variety show begins airing, the three men also learn the news their sons had been trying to keep from them.
The sons say, 'Mom said she doesn't like going back to an ex, but there's nothing wrong with finding a fourth husband.'
The first husband says, 'People never forget their first marriage.'
The second husband says, 'Getting remarried is pretty easy these days.'
The third husband says, 'Actually, our divorce hasn't been finalized. I'm still her legal husband.'
The other two: '???!!!'
Reading Guide:
1. The eldest son is sixteen, the second is fourteen, and the third is twelve and a half.
2. The male lead is undecided, and will probably have very little page time.
