Ning Yuanyuan transmigrates into a novel about a wicked stepmother, becoming the female lead Qiao Yizhi's wicked stepmother. From the very beginning, she abuses Qiao Yizhi.
As a result, the female lead grows up to become a household-name Best Actress earning a hundred million a month, but is left with psychological scars.
The female lead manages to heal with the male lead's help, but he isn't a domineering CEO. He's more like a sweet puppy.
Though he may be a sweet puppy, the female lead is the one supporting him.
In the book, the wicked stepmother dies long before the male lead even appears. Her early death provides the male lead with the perfect opportunity to heal the female lead.
When Ning Yuanyuan arrives, the female lead has just escaped her original family and moved into a huge mansion.
Ning Yuanyuan immediately throws up her arms and cries, "My young lady, your loyal servant has arrived!"
She promptly says she wants to move into the mansion with her and enjoy the good life. The female lead has to agree, or else...
Before she can even finish, the female lead agrees~
The female lead is suspicious of her stepmother. The stepmother may be wicked, but she's truly in love with her father.
And her father is very good to her. He was in a vegetative state for ten years, and her stepmother took care of him the whole time.
So the female lead thinks... well, she can't let the mask slip just yet, so she lets her stepmother move in.
After moving in, Ning Yuanyuan waits on the female lead hand and foot, taking especially good care of her when she's vulnerable during her period, leaving the sweet-puppy male lead no chance to make a move.
Female lead: What's gotten into my stepmother? Did she put cinnabar in the brown sugar water? Why tell me to drink it for my period? Why does she even keep track of my cycle?
She takes a sip.
It's warm and so thoughtful.
Her stepmother is an incredible cook. After she moves in, the female lead orders takeout and eats at restaurants less and less, until she stops altogether.
Then the sweet-puppy male lead makes his entrance, bringing his "signature dish," which he actually ordered at a restaurant with his credit card.
Female lead: I don't want it. It's not as good as my mom's cooking.
The sweet-puppy male lead, who knows the plot: That wicked stepmother?
The female lead deeply suspects that her wicked stepmother has been replaced by someone else.
But she's happy. She's never felt a mother's love since she was born, and hopes this stepmother will stay forever.
Just as the stepmother and the female lead are getting along wonderfully,
the father, who has been in a vegetative state for ten years, wakes up.
Stepmother: "..."
Female lead: "..."
Theme: A mother's love is priceless
