The Wicked Stepmother Refuses to Redeem Herself, and the Cold-Faced Tycoon Begs to Marry Into Her Family

Period drama + stoic military officer + family’s darling

Xie Weiwei wakes up in the 1970s as the wicked stepmother of three children. In the original story, the original owner keeps courting disaster. When the male lead, Jiang Changyu, returns, she and her family end up behind bars for causing the deaths of all three children.

The accompanying baby-talk System orders Xie Weiwei to change the fates of the original owner’s awful family and the three children.

In the book, the three little ones have a father who died in service and a mother who ran off. One gets sick, one drowns, and one is kidnapped. In short, they all end up dead.

The original owner’s family is a piece of work. Her father is a pretty, delicate pretty boy; her mother is a notorious shrew; her little brother is a street-fighting tough guy; and her little sister is a fake sweetie. Most importantly, every last one of them is completely devoted to the original owner.

Xie Weiwei could cry. How was she supposed to change things?

Xie Weiwei gives little Jiang Yuan some formula.

Jiang Yuan: That wicked stepmother must be trying to poison my little sister!

Xie Weiwei takes Yue’er shopping for clothes.

Jiang Yuan: She’s just trying to sell Yue’er!

Jiang Yuan thinks viciously, How should I kill her? Should I do it this way, or that way...

Xie Weiwei covers her ears and grits her teeth. “System, can you stop making me listen to this little brat plotting to kill me every single day?”

I’m wicked, am I? Fine, then I’ll be the wicked stepmother through and through!

Who could have guessed that two years later, the little brat would cling to her like a shadow, one little sister in each hand, calling her “Mom” in the sweetest voice?

The original owner’s family members each land secure jobs, while Xie Weiwei juggles so many positions that her hands cramp from counting her pay.

Rescuing people, saving livestock, catching villains... I’m the good person, and I’m the family’s darling, too!

Just as Xie Weiwei thinks her mission is finally complete and she can leave, the stoic man who supposedly died in service comes back and blocks her way. “Weiwei, as long as you stay, I’ll even marry into your family.”
