After staying up all night to finish reading The Tyrant CEO's Tragic Romance, Shen Xingman somehow transmigrated into the book as the vicious mother of its obsessive villain!
When she saw the young version of the great villain huddled in a corner, covered in wounds and looking up at her with tearful eyes, her heart nearly broke.
Who could tell her why the villainous little kid had such a miserable childhood?
She went over and picked up the trembling child. Raising a villain was no big deal, was it?
For the eldest daughter of the Shen family, with three younger brothers and two younger sisters at home, what could be so hard about it?
She refused to believe there was a child she couldn't set straight!

To raise a child on the production company's dime, Shen Xingman takes her son on the variety show Dear Baby.
Before filming even begins, netizens are already attacking her:
"Has the production team gone blind? How could they put a woman as vicious as her on a variety show?"
"This scheming woman who climbed to the top by any means necessary is going to hog all the screen time!"
"Boycott the show! Don't give her any attention!"

After the show airs, gossip-loving viewers are left completely stunned.
When her son is maliciously slandered, Shen Xingman boldly stands up for him, and he looks at her with adoration.
During a market-stall task, Shen Xingman makes use of whatever's at hand, her nimble fingers weaving reeds into all sorts of exquisite little animals. Her son happily takes in money until his hands are full.
At the group dinner, Shen Xingman becomes everyone's hope and takes on the role of head chef. She works briskly to make five dishes and a soup, while her son eats until his belly is round...
The comments fly by:
[Is there room for one more daughter in this goddess mom's family? I don't know how to do anything!]
[I was wrong before. Mom, please don't hold it against me!]
[I'll come clean: I'm actually Shen Xingman's biological daughter, lost long ago!]

By the time Shen Xingman has made a fortune and is ready to leave her husband behind, take her son, and run away,
Fu Yuchuan blocks the mother and son at the door with a dark expression. "Buy one, get one free. Aren't you taking the child's father with you, too?"
