Xiang Xiaoyuan transmigrated to a book with a male lead, becoming the male lead’s stepmother. However, being seventeen and in the middle of his adolescent phase, the male lead virtually ignored his stepmother, and while his father was thirty-nine and a gorgeous man carrying maturity and elegance, he was enigmatic, with no one capable of knowing what he’s thinking. Xiang Xiaoyuan: The first rule of transmigration, value your life and stay away from the male lead! Being self-conscious, Xiang Xiaoyuan decided to focus on making money, and her business was booming… but before her hopes to get rich were fulfilled, she somehow dealt with her husband and stepson? The male lead said gingerly, “I won’t think of you as my real mother, but don’t worry—I’ll be a good son and you won’t live out your final years tragically. Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…Thanks.” Some other day, her husband stood at the doorway, stopping her and growling, “I heard about something you mentioned outside, that men only care more when they’re older? So? Are you complaining that I’m old now?” Xiang Xiaoyuan said, “…Wait, listen to me!” Lu Wanggui was a cold person, which led to her ex-wife divorcing him, and he was not particularly close to his son. Later, to give his son a ‘home’ and to avoid his parent’s ramblings, he married another wife—a docile, dutiful wife. But unbeknownst to him, that docile, dutiful wife had changed, and she even had the guts to scold him now. Pursing his lips in displeasure, Lu Wanggui was about to remind her of their prenuptial agreement when his son suddenly popped up to defend her! Lu Wanggui: “???” What’s going on? Weren’t things cold between these two? The son: “Ahem. Father, Stepmother… isn’t that bad.”
On the day Xiang Xiaoyuan was born, a Taoist priest surrounded by an air of divinity happened to pass by. Her mother held onto him and refused to let him go. She desperately wanted him to read the fortune of her newborn daughter.
The Taoist priest cloaked in yellow read the fortune with his fingers and said that she would have a colourful love life and was prone to the calamity of love.
In the ten years from the age of seventeen to twenty-seven, Xiang Xiaoyuan had countless suitors. She had also dated several times. In the end, they all separated for various reasons.
It was not until the last relationship that she finally reached the point of marriage. Her boyfriend was very romantic. He insisted on giving her a grand and unique proposal. He wanted to take her to Norway and propose to her under the aurora. However, there was an accident on the way to Norway. Before her boyfriend could send her to the hospital, she passed away.
At the last moment before her death, Xiang Xiaoyuan thought, "The Taoist priest was not lying to me, love had brought me misfortune! Give me another chance, I will focus on making good money and stay away from men!"
She did not know if the heavens had heard her prayer, but when Xiang Xiaoyuan opened her eyes, she found that she had traveled back in time to a high school romance novel that she had read before.
This was a romance novel set in a school. The plot was average. The female lead was a gentle and kind transfer student who was not good with words while the male lead was the popular boy with a cold exterior but a soft heart. The two of them had gone through all kinds of hardships and became a married couple from high school sweethearts.
Normally, the person traveling back in time would be the main character. However, the heavens might have considered that Xiang Xiaoyuan, who was twenty-seven years old, was too out of place to be the female lead in a high school romance novel, so she became the male lead's mother... in fact, she was the stepmother.
Regarding this stepmother, Xiang Xiaoyuan could not remember what role she played in the plot no matter how hard she tried. Hence, she did not know the ending of the stepmother. In short, the character that she got was the most irrelevant and forgettable in the history of transmigration.
According to her investigation, the body that she had transmigrated into had just officially married the male protagonist's father a month ago. The relationship between the two of them was not publicly known, and there was no wedding ceremony. Xiang Xiaoyuan expressed her understanding. After all, the male protagonist was now 16 years old and in his rebellious phase. As a father, he had to consider his son's feelings.
On the second day of the wedding, the male protagonist's father had gone on a business trip and had not returned yet. The male protagonist still had to go to school. He woke up early and returned late every day, so he did not see her much. As a result, other than Xiang Xiaoyuan, there were only a few maids and aunties in the entire villa.
As the saying goes, without the tiger, a tiger or a monkey in the mountains is king.
During the past few days, Xiang Xiaoyuan experienced the comfortable life of a rich lady. Every day, she slept until the sun was high in the sky. She was completely immersed in this hedonistic lifestyle.
Until a phone call pulled her back to reality.
"Madam, there is something that needs your attention." The person who called was the assistant of the male protagonist's father, the tone of his voice was business-like. The school suddenly called to ask the parents to go over, but CEO Lu is overseas on a business trip and can't make it back in time. I hope Madam can make a trip to the school on CEO Lu's behalf."
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "... It's not appropriate for me to go, right?"
If his biological father wasn't around, then he still had his biological mother. It wasn't her responsibility regardless.
In the novel, the male protagonist's father started from scratch. In just a little more than ten years, he had made a leap in rank and successfully made it into the wealthy circle. When the male protagonist was ten years old, the male protagonist's parents got divorced peacefully due to a disagreement over their feelings. Therefore, there was no typical estrangement after a divorce.
The assistant did not seem to expect Xiang Xiaoyuan's reaction. He paused for a moment and said, "Miss Chen is currently traveling in Japan. She won't be able to make it back in time."
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
When his biological parents were needed, both of them were not around. It was now his stepmother's turn.
"Alright then."
The assistant could hear the reluctance in her words and was speechless for a moment. It was difficult to be the stepmother of an ordinary family, let alone a wealthy family. Under such circumstances, shouldn't Xiang Xiaoyuan seize the opportunity to win the young master's approval and CEO Lu's favor?
But listening to her attitude, the assistant did not know what to say.
This was Xiang Xiaoyuan's first time going to school as a parent. She was nervous but mostly excited. From the description of the novel, although the male protagonist's personality was cold and overbearing, he was not difficult to get along with. The novel had never made the male protagonist talk bad behind his stepmother, nor made her life difficult. They mostly just minded their own business.
The third floor master bedroom had a super large cloakroom, where the clothes, bags and jewelry in there were of the latest season. It could be seen that the male protagonist's father did not skimp on the materialistic things.
The only strange thing was that there was no hint of anyone else living in the master bedroom other than her. However, when she thought about the fact that the male protagonist's father had gone on a business trip the day after they got married and had yet to return, she understood.
The two of them probably did not have time to live together.
