Summary
Summary:
Ming Jiayue has transmigrated. She transmigrated as the evil stepmother in a dual-redemption novel; the first protagonist is her stepdaughter, and the second protagonist is her stepdaughter’s tutor.
Seventeen-year-old Zhou An’an lost her biological mother early. Her cheap father is busy with corporate warfare, and her relatives are each weirder than the last. She started growing up “crooked” from a young age—rebellious on the surface, smoking, skipping class, fighting, and sporting tattoos and a colorful afro. She spends her days pitting her wits against her stepmother, focusing entirely on how to kick the evil woman out of the house.
In reality, she is love-starved, gloomy, sensitive, and self-deprecating—like a little hedgehog who pricks anyone who touches her!
Ming Jiayue: I get it. I need to be a good stepmother: give her money, give her love, and let her soar.
System: Not enough. Your stepdaughter won’t kill you, but the other protagonist will!
After the system’s reminder, Ming Jiayue looked at the novel’s backstory and felt her vision go dark; is there any chance left for her to be a good person?
The original character appeared to be a celibate housewife on the surface, but was actually a “predatory bed-sport artist.” She took a liking to the tutor working part-time for the stepdaughter and then acted shamelessly, using any means necessary.
“Short on money?”
“Auntie has plenty of money and loves nothing more than sponsoring poor female students, as long as you study hard—for example, learning about the ‘art of the human body’…”
Ji Shuangci has a domestic-abusing father and a seriously ill mother. She relies on the sponsorship of kind people and part-time jobs to earn her tuition and living expenses. Having suffered cold looks since childhood, she is determined to change her fate through her own efforts.
After one particular part-time job, disaster struck from out of nowhere. She was suppressed, humiliated, and targeted. Driven into a corner, she had no choice but to bow to power.
As a result, in the dimly lit bedroom, just as she had finished stripping down to her underwear, that disgusting woman suddenly pushed her away and spoke with righteous indignation.
“Are you over eighteen?”
“Can you recite the twenty-four characters of the Core Socialist Values?”
“Have you finished all your practice exam papers?”
“Do a few more sets in my room before you go back.”
Ji Shuangci: ???
That night, Ji Shuangci sat up startled in the middle of a dream. No, is she mentally ill?!
