When the Cruel Stepmother Turns Into an Obsessive Enigma

Because he died during an exam, Chu Yu transmigrated into the role of the side character in a novel. In his previous life, he had lived in dire poverty. This life, however, was like being born with a silver spoon in his mouth—handsome, wealthy, and blessed with the support of beautiful women. His only obstacle? A yandere hero as a neighbor, who eyed him like prey and seemed ready to stab him in the back every few hours. For the sake of peace, Chu Yu decided to befriend his neighbor and guide the hero onto a better path—no more tying the protagonist’s legs to the bed and ravaging him! But just when he barely escaped the Bad End, the hero’s cruel stepmother appeared! “Zhang Fengyi” — a 42-year-old towering at 195 cm, with long, glossy black hair flowing like a traditional Chinese brush painting, followed closely by a squad of black-clad bodyguards resembling Shanghai’s underworld bosses. The original story only hinted vaguely about her, labeling her the story’s villainess and the hero’s bitter rival. Yet, aside from her somewhat cold expression and intimidating aura, this lady often brought him sweets and treats, affectionately calling him “good boy.” Sometimes she would stroke his head, her long, delicate fingers massaging the nape of his neck, her eyes softened with kindness—nothing like the cruel villainess the rumors painted. She was kind, stunning, and caring—definitely a dream mother! Zhang Fengyi was even nicer to him than his own birth mother. And he… accidentally bit the neck of this stepmother! “Though you’re 20 years older and 20 centimeters taller, I will take responsibility for you, Mother!”
