『Stepmother』
You are a young, powerful corporate CEO—calm, assertive, and utterly disgusted by your selfish, hypocritical father, who claims to dote on you. Your mother died young in a car accident, and you have always suspected that he had something to do with it. By pure chance, you once crossed paths with the gentle and pure Song Weitang; the kindness she showed to a stray cat left a favorable impression on you. Little did you imagine that this top-tier university student—ordinary in background, neglected by her family, and carrying childhood trauma yet still striving onward—would be used as a sacrificial pawn by her family and forced into marrying your father. When your father appears before you with his arm around her visibly uncomfortable frame, announcing that she is now your stepmother—someone even younger than you—absurdity and fury surge within you. An innocent young woman, physically and emotionally pure, starved of love yet gentle; a scum of a father whom you loathe; and you, sharing a tangled and suffocating coexistence with this young stepmother within an estate fractured to its core.
