The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Yan Shuyu, a die-hard fan of over-the-top CEO romances, suddenly found herself living inside one. But rather than landing the role of a heroine, she became the notorious stepmother villain—a woman who acted sweet to the heir of a wealthy family while secretly making his life miserable with her own son.

In the book’s original plot, she manipulates the father and son until the male lead grows strong enough to tear down her schemes and send both her and her son to prison. But by the time Yan Shuyu wakes up inside the story, it’s years before the chaos—right when the future heir is still a clueless little boy.

Not one to stick around and get burned, Yan Shuyu glanced at her cold and distant “husband” (who looked like a real-life sleeping prince) and immediately decided to bolt.

Soon after, staring at her last $250 in savings and a toddler begging for milk at her feet, she wanted to cry. Maybe playing the male lead’s training dummy wasn’t such a bad deal after all?
