Reborn as the Mistress of the Household, All Four Cubs Are Villains

Su Yinan, a sanda champion, unexpectedly transmigrated into a book and became the tragic stepmother in an ancient romance novel, a despised cannon-fodder character who wouldn’t survive three chapters. The original owner had been widowed just six months after her wedding. Tricked by the scheming steward into eloping, she was ultimately sold off. Even worse, the marquis had left behind four young stepchildren who would grow up to become four deranged villains, each capable of stirring up the world. The first thing they’d do as adults was settle the score, make her suffer every torment, and leave her to die on the road to exile. A hellishly difficult start, with death just around the corner? No, she had a golden finger! On the night she was supposed to elope, she saw through the steward’s vicious plot by reading his thoughts and knocked out the human trafficker with a single blow. The four little ones caught her red-handed. The cold, taciturn eldest son: 【She killed someone!】 The gentle, reserved second son: 【If you have to hit someone, please don’t hit me.】 The unruly, rebellious third son: 【Good hit! Beat him to death.】 The soft, naive youngest daughter: 【Big sister smells so nice. Can I have a hug?】 When the second branch of the family tried to frame and slander her, hoping to seize the main branch’s assets, she crushed their household guards with her bare hands, used their secrets against them, and combined threats with persuasion to forcefully reclaim all the family’s businesses. With the inner household crawling with demons and the collateral branches eyeing her covetously, Su Yinan used her mind-reading ability to deal with every kind of scheming villain, tear into her awful relatives, and keep the vile servants in check. She built her career, amassed wealth, and expanded the family fortune through business, eventually turning the four bloodthirsty, violent villains into leaders in their respective fields and making them her own personal backers. All she wanted was to lie flat, do nothing, and live the carefree life of a fabulously wealthy widow. Wait! Why are the powerful, aloof court minister, the gentle and wealthy top merchant, and the decisive young lord of a noble family taking turns appearing and competing in increasingly elaborate ways to win her over?
