She broke up with her boyfriend whom she was supposed to be in love with for so long because was ambitious. He wanted to go to a first-line city to have a go at a career and hoped that his girlfriend would accompany him up North while she only wants to live off of her parents

She doesn't have much feelings for her instant son and that is for sure it's hard to accept being a mother one night but the reason she chose to accept him is that she found in her memories that he can be brilliant in the future so if she raises him properly she will be able leech off him and start her life with some young boy later

The MC ONLY care about appearance she even accepted the CEO kid after 2 meetings because he is better looking than her blood related kid according to her.

She spends more time on her make up than taking care of the kid, over that she doesn't even feel sorry or that she neglects him and justifies her Irresponsibility with the (2, 3, 4, 5 years old, I don't know exactly how old he is as I got confused with story) child because of how mature he is. Let me tell you something of personal experience, there is NO MATURE child (unless he is also a Transmigrator or on the same level of Jesus). It is very dangerous to leave children alone especially smart ones because they have more curiosity than normal one and you don't really know what they are capable of (MY smart and obedient little brother almost set our whole house on fire when left alone, luckily it ended with just material damage)

The MC has long been Transmigrated so this is her REAL child but she lost her memories after one night s*x with ML... WOW!!! My first time hearing of someone losing memories after s*x, the world is big

Her husband is also alive... another WOW!!!

I saw people talking about how she found a work, which she did, but it didn't do any good at all.

The fact that he's using OG FMC's kid as whetstone for his kid's growth, marry OG FMC for 20 years without kid (s) of their own, and then doesn't concern about her and he kid after her downfall is shady, heartless, and manipulative ML. And when I read other review that FMC is the OG FMC or rebirth, I just can't see any positive light from ML. I know that OG FMC had her own faults too, both FMC and ML is bad characters

Also the reveal/twist of the dad being alive at the end while somewhat awkward or out of place, feels fresh to a certain degree; before reverting back to a generic ending that feels like instant gratification but too predictable in the epilogue.

That said, objectively wasted potential to explore and expand on some of the characters (especially in the latter half), and due to how smoothly everything works out in the end, somewhat fanciful/detached from reality, which one would expect to be if not ungratifying (Murphy's Law), at least somewhat melancholic.

She is a spoiled nouveau riche child—who was seriously pampered by her parents.

YS wakes up and finds out that she had s*xual interc**rse with someone and it wasn’t a dream. She isn’t a virg*n and even if she assumed that it was her ex-boyfriend or even a dream, she actively participated in the act. Some reviews call it r*pe, and I don’t want to put my opinion in there. (It is whatever you think it is.)

She then proceeds to run away as she realizes that she’s in a novel and in the body of a cannon fodder.

He’s only 4 years and I think 4 months old, when we’re introduced to him. He acts very mature for his age, trying to be self sufficient and not rely on his mother as much—not want to be a bother to her.

YS was a single child, she doesn’t know how to care for others. Not to mention that she hasn’t taken care of any younger kids and doesn’t have any maternal instincts, she is unable to see the child’s needs—being more selfish. When she thinks for the well-being of the two of them, it’s visibly discernible that she puts herself first before ‘her’ child.

Since YS arrived 2 years before the start of her and her son’s downfall, she wants to change their fate. She quits the job on the spot and tries to save as much money as she can. YS asks for deposit back from the place she’s renting and the kindergarten place, but after hearing what the original had done, she has no choice but to stick with it for now.

The next event setter annoys me but reasoning that YS isn’t omniscient, it barely passes. She receives a call from her old workplace with an irrefutable offer (for someone who has been spoiled and in dire need of money). She instantly accepts and sets a date with her old manager—without even being slightly suspicious of why the rule would change for her all of a sudden.

She kept repeating that she didn't want her and her son to become the villainous stepmother and stepbrother, like in the original novel. But yet she seemed proud that she was familiar with tropes of the genre of novels she reads, but for some reason couldn't figure out that as long as she doesn't go the same route as the stepmother in the novel she can change both her and her son's fate? The villainous stepmother in the novel goaded and trained her son to be just as villainous, yet she herself was not that way and was kind to the male lead; so why the HECK would she assume she would end up like in the novels plotline? She was too s*upid and I can see why her personality and character made people disappointed and give bad reviews.

Yan Shuyu, our FL, is a bit of a complex character. She thinks but not too deeply, she definitely thinks she's so smart and had figured everything out so she's confident all the time, which is probably why she acts so shameless XD. BUT, it is that same shamelessness of hers that probably got her to where she is right now, which is definitely inside our MLs arms as he planned xD.

Zhou Qinhe, the big boss, is a manipulative ML. I'd say he has a lot of potential to be a yandere if only this was a more serious novel. But as I've said, the story is pretty simple and a bit predictable, and the characters' chemistry isn't all that hard to see. There are no other love interests for both FL and ml, at least not too serious ones that adds more drama to the story.

There was almost one for the ML, our original ML which is our baby Zhou Yi, his mother appeared at some point of the story. But she didn't really stayed long enough to be called as a rival or anything.

For our FL, her ex-husband actually turns out to be alive and well. He met their son our baby Zhang Yuanjia, (but at the end he'll be named as Ye Hengjia). Unlike the baby og ML where he and his mother met but didn't actually bond with each other, baby Hengjia was actually fond with his actual father which I really think is cool.

for the ex-husband and herself being the original stepmother. These I truly feel are unnecessary and too forceful. The MC character is warm, there’s no way she’ll scheme the ML and then bully a 6yo 2 years later.
