The Beautiful Stepmother Becomes Everyone's Favorite in a Supernatural World

[Up next]

Xiu Meng lives in an extremely dangerous and eerie world. They say humans here are always walking on thin ice, and the slightest mistake can get them killed.

She has never taken the rumors to heart, because her life is ordinary and uneventful, with nothing dangerous about it.

Until recently, when she noticed that her third husband had started acting strangely.

He seemed to want to kill his own children.

Xiu Meng loves her stepson and stepdaughter dearly and can't bear to watch them get hurt, so she secretly warns them to go hide somewhere.

The children hear her and run into her arms, clinging to her in a tight embrace. "Mother, don't worry. Everything will be all right."

The next day, her stepson and stepdaughter still leave with her husband.

Xiu Meng stands helplessly in the doorway, weeping with fear.

Late that night, her stepson and stepdaughter return home, looking somewhat battered. Her husband is nowhere to be seen.

Xiu Meng's eyes are already red from crying, and her alluring, exquisite eyes are as lovely as crushed roses, making her impossible not to pity.

Her stepson and stepdaughter tell her, "Mother, please don't cry. Father has abandoned this family, but we'll stay by your side forever."

Xiu Meng holds the two children close, her heart aching for them.

She doesn't see the darkness and danger hidden beneath the devotion in her stepson's and stepdaughter's expressions.

From now on, the three of them will live happily together, with no outsiders to disturb them.

Unfortunately, their imagined peaceful life doesn't last long.

The child of Xiu Meng's first husband appears at the door.

The honest, taciturn child looks at her pitifully and bends down his tall, imposing frame. "Mother, are you going to abandon me?"

Then the children of her second husband arrive, too.

They're twins.

The refined older brother looks around the house with a critical eye. "Mother, does your new husband really make you live in such a wretched place?"

The clingy younger brother is already pressed against Xiu Meng, begging playfully, "Mother, come home with us. Please."

Xiu Meng has no idea how to respond.

She doesn't see her stepson and stepdaughter behind her slowly reveal their sharp insect limbs, ready to tear apart everyone who tries to take her away.

"A Warm Home" is an SSS-rank dungeon on the highest difficulty.

Everyone who enters is never seen again, and nobody has ever cleared it.

Another group of players is sent inside.

They follow the wrong clues, and a black monster like an alien slowly appears before them.

Just as everyone believes they're about to die horribly at the monster's hands, a phone suddenly rings.

The monster pauses, then carefully answers with its huge claws.

"...I think I'm lost," says a gentle female voice.

The monster lowers its head. "All right, Mother. I'll come get you right away."

Another group of players makes the wrong choices and is toyed with by demons until their minds begin to crumble.

Suddenly, the demons' voices can be heard in the eerie space.

"Mother called us home for dinner."

"Why didn't Mother call me? I'm not her favorite child anymore!"

"Shut up. Hurry."

Then every player is kicked out of the dungeon.

Before long, a sensational post appears on the player forum: #Shocking! All the bosses in the SSS-rank dungeons are total mama's boys!#

[Green post. Blocked.]

[Is this some delusional post written by someone who went crazy after being tortured by the boss?]

[No... it's real... I just made it out of that dungeon alive.]

[???!!!]

[If you want to survive, remember one thing: Praise their mother.]

One day, Xiu Meng accidentally clicks on the post and realizes that the bosses they're talking about are very much like her children.

Reading Guide:

1. All the men are sexually pure and faithful. The children are either husbands' split personalities, created with their bare hands, or adopted.

2. The female lead is a beautiful, delicate flower, and extremely weak. None of her husbands are good people, but they adore her. Her stepchildren adore her, too.
