On the first day after transmigrating into the role of a wicked stepmother, I’m cornered by debt collectors and set up by my stepdaughter.
I’m Sheng Zhixia. I died young in my previous life, and in this one, all I want is to live to a ripe old age.
Dealing with my unhinged stepdaughter? Easy. Bring in her great-uncle, save the house, and secure a powerful ally.
Dealing with thirty-five thousand in debt? Even easier. Sell off the stock, use my connections, and build a business.
But what’s with this girl? Wasn’t she supposed to be a crazed villain?
Why does she follow me around every day, staring at me with those gloomy eyes and calling me “Mom”?
And why did my missing husband come back and immediately start interrogating me?
I slap him right back. “Keep your daughter in line, or I’ll deal with you too.”
Later, Gu Sheng corners me against the wall. “Xiaxia, I was wrong. Please forgive me, my dear wife.”
Gu Xiaozao coldly adds from the side, “Dad, Mom says if a man won’t listen, you just have to give him a beating.”
