Lin Wan transmigrated into a book and became the stepmother of the male lead. Her husband was an undisputed big shot in commerce and was cold, decisive, and ruthless. Her stepsons were each more eccentric and difficult than the other... until they took part in a variety show as a family. Five families were competing, each of which was perfectly harmonious... Except for Lin Wan's family. Naturally, they were the control group once the variety show aired. Every other family would have scenes of the parents cooking and the children helping adorably, a picturesque sight of family harmony. On the other hand, Lin Wan and her three stepsons ignored each other as they had crackers and ham for their dinners amidst an eerie silence. At night, while the other families went out happily stargazing and moon-watching, Lin Wan and her stepsons told each other horror stories, leaving the viewers petrified! Netizens were flaming as they watched, but they soon noticed that the control group was changing... Even though the eldest son insisted that he disliked his stepmother, he sneaked off to buy her a scarf! The second son declared his favorite person was his father but voted for his stepmother instead! The third son was also caught putting his stepmother's favorite candy below her pillow! The netizens were shocked, but it's true: the tsundere stepsons were extraordinarily close with their stepmother!
The premise of the story is very interesting, but the development of the story leaves much to be desired. It's fine that everyone feels distrustful of the MC because of his powers, but they're going a bit overboard, as if the MC were the only one with mind control powers. After all, there are sirens in Nevermore, and they are also treated with some distrust because of their powers, so it would make more sense for the MC to join that group instead of striking up such a quick and close friendship with Enid. The story really has potential, but everyone gives too much importance to the MC being the descendant of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, as if mermaids didn't exist. If you made a change and made the MC the descendant of Val Helsing, the monster hunter, then the behavior of all the students towards the MC would make more sense. As a final note, all the chapters feel oversaturated with AI or were completely generated by AI.
