Xu Youyou’s a mama’s girl and the words she often said were, “My Mom said……”

Therefore, many people laughed at her for not being weaned. But Xu Youyou didn’t care and continued on her way, determined to be the best mama’s girl there was.

In high school, Xu Youyou was pressed against the wall by the school tyrant as he confessed his feelings.

Xu Youyou frowned and refused, “No, my mom says, the most important thing for students is to study. Otherwise, they’ll become the scum of society!”

Someone who has a single-digit score and hates studying: “……”

In college, a rich and handsome president wanted to keep Xu Youyou and offered her favorable conditions, but instead got a contemptuous look from her.

“My mom always says there’s no such thing as a free lunch. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!”

The president who wanted to find a substitute for his white moonlight: “……”

5874 was a system whose mission was to change the miserable fate of the female protagonist, Xu Youyou, and bring her happiness. But, looking at the little bean who’s only three years old and in the terrible environment of the orphanage, the system decided to tell a lie, “Youyou, don’t be afraid, I’m your mother.”

After fifteen years of diligent teaching, the system fell into a deep sleep due to insufficient energy.

When it woke up again and found Xu Youyou living in a beautiful villa with countless jewelry and beautiful clothes, the system was heartbroken. “Darling, why are you still—”

Xu Youyou was excited. “Mom! You’re finally back! You’re right! The easiest money to earn in the world is from a lovesick fool!”

System: “……” Did I really say that?

Lmao this book is exactly as advertised in the summary. The MC is a mom-con from start until the end so it's very consistent that way

the focus is mainly on the MC's childhood, the system trying to change her childhood and making her grow up in love, confidence and surrounded by friends. This was what I loved about this. Although she has a special relationship with the ML and was closer to him than to others they were also friends with other people and have grown up in a group.... more>> And each of them have their own problems and struggles growing up. Though it was strange how everything happened while they were 3, I just glossed over that part

Time skip was from 7 to 3rd yr highschool so 10 years mostly. And the focus really was just the MC so the part where the ML realized his feelings for the MC was just hinted after the timeskip and how he kept chasing away the MC's suitors. But its not only him lmao. Their entire group of friends are the one chasing them away. And there was even a statement where the girl friend said "and if they still make it through them (the friends) MC is the one who will brutally shoot them down" with the my mother told me statement

so cute if ur looking for something not so focused on romance. <<less

I meant to rate this 5 stars not 4. It’s a really lighthearted novel, romance is minimal and towards the end but sweet. Even though the original novel was an abusive romance story, this story was basically about a mom and daughter con. The one thing I really liked about the novel and that sets it apart from other c-novels is how satisfyingly all the women were portrayed. Almost every minor female character had their own backstories, their own goals and ambitions that weren’t centered around the men in their... more>> life. Even if their only goal is revenge or the pursuit of a perfect face or power and wealth it was still nice to see that they didn’t all automatically hate the female lead just because of a man. Of course there are standard brain dead supporting cast but they were minimal. A lot of the antagonizing female characters felt gray instead of just black to me, and you could really see how their past shaped them into who they were at the end of the novel, and it’s good characterization. <<less

Extremely wholesome novel. The Child to Adolescent to Adult transformation of the arcs is very well written and a time span isn't a huge issue.

MC as a system is extremely sweet and hard working, her love with daughter Youyou is to die for. I am so jealous of their bond. Youyou is kind hearted soul and MC raised her to be firm and knowledgeable. The use of original plot is well done by MC. It isn't overly used but when used it is done for face slapping but mainly to... more>> provide Youyou security and stability. The system is a process of learning from doing task and thinking of the result and making friends who might help in Youyou's growth to genuine affection not just for Youyou but also others like Qin Yirin and Curly hair family.

And also the relationship between the cubs and family. They are not perfect but quite a perfect representation of kids who if nurtured right can turn around their life.

I read a novel which gave a statement that

Children are like seeds in a garden, when given enough affection and importance they bloom into bright beautiful colorful unique flowers. They can't be compared to other plants, they themselves are unique. Anyway if the child just has to grow by giving enough food and water, weeds also grow that way! The difference relies on parents who with a sense of responsibility educate and take care of children. So that's what gives them maturity!

I think this novel is a perfect embodiment of it. Without Youyou who has been educated by System, I can think of how the other children ended in the original. Not every detail was told, but subtly shown.

The story is quite short and not exaggerated or lenghthened. Just a perfect ending. The extras give story about the original ending as well. Extremely wholesome.

One of the novels with great character development of the whole bunch!! Even the side characters. It gave such a depth to this story. The power of family and friends can make you feel extremely satisfied about life. Made me think about my own friends and how we grow along them.

!!!MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

p.s.I still think it's better to go ahead and read the novel directly since it is quite short!!

Spoiler
    • ML (our curly hair) indifferent, would have died in original world. But because of Youyou he had so many true friends and was alive
    • Lui Mianmian because of grandma would have turned into a spoiled lady who would be a lovebrain. But she grew up to be strong and someone who can protect her friends. One of the characters which had the most growth. And looking at her, who was a genuine child!! Made me so relieved. Her character was the most realistic one. Among all the children, Liked her cause she genuinely felt like a child unlike other characters who though 3D, had some sort of stereotype.
  • Lui Or Lu was it? I think because his mom committed su*cide cause of his dad, he would grow up suppressing his hatred. ML wouldn't have befriended him and he would not be able to open up or trust others. A meek future with twisted personality since he had to grow up early. He realised that his friends care about him and he can't give up everything just for revenge
    • Qian
      was bullied due to his weight gain and being chubby. Maybe he would have grown up being sensitive about his weight or maybe even have resentment towards his parents. Here both parents and him use healthy diet and exercise to overcome their heavy weight. And they lived a healthy life, it was also mentioned that Qian mother's breathing problem improved with her weight loss
    • The actor friend Gou Or Zhou? I think he would be an introvert without supportive friends because of constant moving with his dad. Probably be used by original white moonlight Yao who came to his room for scandal and be thoroughly chewed by her because of his introverted personality! In this Tl, he remembers MC's teaching and immediately called the police. Lol lol
    • Qin Yirin -
      would have been lonely after son's death and be indifferent to everything, even divorcing her husband who loves her extremely! But she learns to laugh, be haughty and reverts back to her original personality due to friends between Wei ying and her. Her genuine enthusiasm towards MC is one of the sweetest girl friendship I've read in novels. Both of these friends love each other. She is a friend who'll be through thick and thin with her bestie and always be amazing and loyal. And MC despite being a system with no feeling and only caring for Youyou for her task, decides to use her power source energy to protect Qin Yirin and Lu curly. It was one of the moments in novel, which gave such a character growth to MC as a system with infinite growth. No hesitation was allowed. Besides our Qin Yirin is a girl boss and has a husband who wags his tail at the hook of her finger
    • Lu Wie.. Qin Yirin's hubby - Perfect just perfect!! Not a green flag, but A green forest!!! His family is his bottom line, he is ruthless to everyone else. Being stoic in public but a lapdog at home, he is looked down by his own son. And the result ML's children look down on him for loving Youyou. Well an apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!
    • There are other minor characters like Hua-er her situation is really bad, I can't seem to like her or hate her since she is someone who turned out that way due to her circumstances. I feel many people hate her but frankly with her position it would be weird if she didn't turn twisted. Her role in getting rid of original ML was surprisingly good. And she moves on from being jealous to Youyou and trying to start a new life. Even flowers grow in the midst of thorns! But I did hope that she wouldn't opt for any choices which harm her life force. Idk how that ended though!!
    • The original male lead - as the System described him - Thrash, un recyclable thrash!! Love brain! S*upid! Idiot! No loyalty to anyone, not to his grandpa or dad or mom or white moonlight or Yao or Hua-er or Youyou or Original TL Youyou!! Wow! Whenever he appeared, it was always disgusting to listen to him talk speak or breathe!!
    • Zhao Zhuner A surprise among well articulated characters. Someone patiently waiting to devour her enemy slowly albeit painfully hurting where it hurts. She was the white moonlight of the original MLs dad! (Another scum!) He is exactly as the above scum better say the above scum is the replica of his father! Zhou really dealt a heavy blow to the Lu family and was a great assist to Youyou which helped MC to come back early and even before the original novel plot TL began! A true persistent character who didn't make her life about revenge but extracted everything that could be from everyone who owes her. Someone who didn't wrong herself for revenge!
    • The Qian family old couple - they are Youyou's dad's parents (grandparents) Their old life was in regret they owed a lot since their decision killed their son, the original mother died while hoping the dad didn't abandon her or their child and Youyou growing up in misery. No one could have predicted it, and they died even without knowing about their grandchild! Sad and extremely miserable. There is no solace, but Youyou does take enough care for them. As for their heartfelt apology, as MC said - the owner who they should apologize is already dead so it's not her turn to do that!! But I can see they are good people, they have their own redeeming qualities, just Youyou's dad didn't handle it well and sadly passed away!
    • The adopted couple Zhou - their story arc can be said, You always get your dues whether late or not. Karma is true!! At the end the child he raised wasn't even his. I thought poor him, just a few seconds later to find out he was responsible for the car accident! Scum!! You deserved it!!
      [collapse]
Wow even I can't believe that I remembered so many names, that says a lot!!

Happy reading :)

Juanjuan and Youyou are too cute. Their love story is such pure love that blossomed

I even hoped that the system will have a love story! I felt while reading that she definitely has admirers

Then came the extras where it as confirmed that Qin Xiao likes her but never confessed until he died. QIN XIAO YOU TOOL MAN AHHHHHHHHH

Heartwarming and absolutely lovely story about a system raising a child up with love and care. Along the way, the system learns about human emotions too.

I love the fact that this story focuses on the system and how she raises and teaches the little protag. I have to say they are both the protags in the story.

I enjoyed it a lot. Romance is not a focus which is great.

I would’ve liked more on the interlude between kindergarten and high school but I guess it would’ve been repetitive if the author... more>> had written it. By doing a time skip the author made sure to write the important parts.

Lovely story but I wish it had extras. <<less

I'm glad I found this novel. It was such a gem.

I truly enjoyed the adventure and appreciate all the life lessons the author willingly shared with the readers.

Our beloved Youyou and her companions truly deserved the happiness they received.

This is one of the best novels out there.

This novel is EXCELLENT!!

I haven’t felt that way in awhile. Though some of the side characters are brain dead, the overall novel is simply perfect!

If you’re looking for a high quality child rearing with a splash of coming of age story, this is definitely for you. On top of that, we have an amazing background story and extra to tie everything up. A wholesome, well paced and well written novel! Simply a satisfying read!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

A very cute story. Just as the description says, it's a story where the female protagonist of an especially awful case of angsty sadistic novel has been given a system to change her fate - except that the system didn't tell her the truth, but instead pretended to be her deceased mother. Then, story goes about how they both had a lot of character development, how she learned about true friendship and healthy mindset and had a happy and fulfilling childhood, while all of the evil people who harmed her... more>> in the original story got what they deserved through their own actions, never spoiling girl's innocence and committing any crimes. Meanwhile, system also learned human emotions and got her own happiness as a mother.

The story is very sweet, even of the background setting is absolutely disgusting. But seeing it all come undone and transformed in a bright and righteous way, with fluff and friendship is very satisfying.

I do want to mention that it might be a little boring, since "system" setting is almost completely a background board - system is forbidden to use any special abilities or she will be deported from the world. In the end, everything is done through manual skill and hard work with a touch of luck. So, that may not match people's expectations. Didn't match mine either, but I don't mind in the end.

The story is short and sweet, highly recommend. <<less

Semi-slice of life story that pretty much follows the intro. The system does go through a character growth as it develops motherly love for FL and raises FL to be a confident, independent woman.

FL does end up in a romantic relationship but it’s a subplot. Recommended as a chill read over time... the chapters are longer than average (equivalent to 2 or 3 average length chapters).

... more>>
Spoiler

The system can only have a human form for a few hours each day. The time is extended later on but for about 8 hours.

SPOILER...

...

The system went into a dormant state cause it used up its energy to protect FL and others from a mu*der attempt. FL later woke it up by helping it complete its task. The system then woke up and accompanied FL until she died of old age.

4.5 very enjoyable. Cliche book with refreshing elements that feel updated for 2022. Manage your expectations: this is a largely PEACEFUL slice of life coming of age book, filled with secondary characters who are NOT forgotten as soon as they reach a certain age with a variety of scenes including a loving family, friends, and many hilarious scenes. Are the villains farfetched and ridiculous? Yes, but in a comical way here that idk why is enjoyable to read.

The daughter grows up well and the family life is full and interesting.... more>> Despite the crazy premise of the system, the way all the characters think (besides the villains) actually seem logical or at least you understand why and how they could think of it like that. If you can view it lightheartedly and u enjoy family/friend love with a bit of romance, you will laugh and have a lot of fun. It's not perfect by any means, but it is so easy and fun to read. <<less

Wonderful and heartwarming story about mother and daughter. Like finally. Its seriously hard to find good story about mom and her baby daughter. At first we have system with task to make heroine happy but eventually system itself come to love her baby daughter (it though it has virus lol) learn friendship (I was really happy to see that not only YouYou made friends but her mom too) and even had little discipline. Maybe little lacking in romance (I had some hopes that not only daughter find her... more>> significant other but mom too but well, I still ship 5874 and Qin Xiao). Overall very good story with nice and heartwarming ending. To tell the truth it would be really interesting to read romantic stories about those handsome uncles*wink-wink*. And Xu YuoYou friends. There's so much potential*sight* Sadly chinese authors don't like series. <<less

So cute! I had to MTL the end since it's not fully translated yet, but it was worth it. Mostly sweet and easy, child-raising novel. I love system and daughter's relationship!

Though my romance-brain wants a follow up story where system gets a romance too.

Loved this novel so much. A light read, heartwarming mother-daughter relationship & friendships.

It was so funny when system wanted to marry her friend hahah btw she's my favorite character! (Qin Yiren, ML's mom) n_n

Also all the kids were so cute together, wanted to know more about them but anyways, even romance was very little, after all the novel is about system changing FL's destiny (plot?)

... more>> -

I read the extra chapters, system knowing about the "real system" then teaching newbies, telling them the story about her daughter and how she chose not to have daughters/sons in other missions : (

Also FL having a "dream" traveling to the original plot and taking revenge for herself. Kinda sad about her mother in law but hopefully the FL in that world kept in touch with her.

I want to read more from this author! <<less

It was a relaxing read, it is definitely not the best novel but very light quick read. The story is not bad, it has cute elements, not funny enough to be read again. The ending is super rushed and left questions about almost all side characters.

Just to tw: It has some racist element that was towards dark skins.
