Am I the Evil Stepmother? My Best Friend Transmigrated Into My Adopted Daughter

Good news: I transmigrated into a book with my best friend. Bad news: We became the villainous mother and daughter who cause trouble and bring about their own downfall. From the start, we got the classic “loving mother and filial daughter” scene. The original heroine was about to push her stepdaughter down the stairs, but the girl knew what her stepmother was planning and had already messaged her CEO father to complain. He was now speeding home to confront her. Before the misunderstanding could even be cleared up, a maid publicly framed her, accusing her of mistreating her stepdaughter. Luckily, her best friend knew how the plot went and turned the tables on the maid. “Dad, Xiaomei said that if she took this chance to frame Mom and get her kicked out of the house for good, she’d become the real heiress!” One sentence not only cleared the stepmother of child abuse, but also proved the maid had instigated the whole thing. After cleverly getting through this disastrous opening, Rong Zhili and her best friend exchanged a look. They’d avoided ending up behind bars, and they had to cling tightly to this powerful ally! And all this incredible wealth? Here they come! * Shang Shiyan wielded immense power in the business world and was known for being cold, chaste, and indifferent to others. After an unexpected mishap, Rong Zhili became his contract wife. The contract clearly stated that she only had to dutifully fulfill her roles as wife and stepmother. If she ever overstepped those boundaries, she would owe a staggering one billion in damages. Shang Shiyan warned her coldly, “You are Mrs. Shang, and nothing more. If you foolishly want more, you’ll only bring it on yourself.” Later, Shang Shiyan wanted to make their relationship official every single day. “Wife, stop calling me Mr. Shang. I want to be your husband, and yours alone.” “Wife, I’ve changed my mind. I want all of you, heart and soul.” Rong Zhili: I still prefer that arrogant, untamed version of you.
