I was once a cruel woman—feared by my husband and son, a mother-in-law who tormented the female lead until my own family cast me aside. That was my past. Now, I’ve taken in my abused young daughter-in-law and raised her with care. My only hope? To win her loyalty and escape the brutal fate written for me in the novel.
But things didn’t go as planned.
“Mother, the weather is lovely. Won’t you take a walk with me?”
“Mother, I baked these cookies myself. Please try one.”
“Mother, Mother…”
My sweet daughter-in-law clings to me constantly, ignoring the boy destined to be her future husband.
“Mom, I like Lily… but I like you more,” my once-fearful son murmurs, his face flushed with shy affection.
“Madam, how long must we keep sleeping apart?” My cold, distant husband gazes at me with eyes full of warmth.
…Why is everyone suddenly acting this way toward me?
