Summary
In the modern world, Lu Jiao was a skilled military doctor—but fate had other plans. She found herself thrust into the pages of a novel, inhabiting the body of a notorious villainess: the ruthless mother of four future criminals and the wife of the man destined to become the empire’s most powerful scholar, the First Assistant.
In the original story, her four sons would grow into heartless villains, leaving behind a trail of bloodshed before meeting a tragic end at the hands of the protagonists. Enraged by their deaths, the First Assistant would turn into a vengeful final boss, only to perish after his descent into darkness.
Now, staring at the tiny figures barely reaching her knees and the gravely injured First Assistant lying weakly on the bed, Lu Jiao made a decision—she would rewrite their fate. She would heal her husband and raise the children properly, steering them away from their doomed future.
But reality wasn’t so easy.
The little ones despised her. They tried to strangle her at night, slashed at her wrists with shattered porcelain, and even laced her food with poison.
Furious, Lu Jiao finally snapped. “Enough! If you want to grow into villains, be my guest. I won’t waste my time.”
Yet, the moment she turned her back, everything changed.
Small hands clung to her robe, tearful eyes filled with regret.
“Mommy, don’t go. We’ll be good… We promise.”
