After Transmigrating into a Novel as a Cute Baby's Mom, She Becomes the Pampered Favorite

Xu Xiu wakes from a feverish dream to discover she has transmigrated into the body of a cannon fodder biological mother in a novel she once read. In the original story, this woman schemed to marry the domineering CEO Shen Xingyi, gave birth to a genius son named Xu Zhirang, and died young after creating melodramatic conflicts between the male and female leads. Realizing the original owner had already fled overseas four years ago with the child, Xu Xiu finds herself in the United Kingdom, living in poverty with a hostile, independent son who resembles Shen Xingyi. Her initial plan to avoid pregnancy fails because the plot has already skipped ahead, leaving her with no choice but to raise the child while trying to alter her tragic fate.

Xu Xiu quickly adapts to her new reality, using her skills as a makeup artist to earn money and improve her living conditions. She confronts her exploitative neighbors, the Jones couple, who had been blackmailing the original owner under the threat of exposing fraudulent welfare claims. By remaining calm and calling the police, Xu Xiu exposes their scheme, recovers her stolen belongings, and receives compensation from other victims. During this time, she gradually builds a bond with Xu Zhirang, who had been neglected and emotionally distant. She earns his trust by cooking for him, validating his emotions, and allowing him to call her "Mom" again, healing the wounds inflicted by the previous owner.

Upon returning to her home country, Xu Xiu and her son encounter Lin Youqiao, the novel’s female lead, on a flight. Lin Youqiao attempts to bully a flight attendant and frames Xu Xiu for the altercation, sparking a wave of cyberbullying against them. However, Xu Zhirang intervenes, exposing Lin Youqiao’s true behavior and turning public opinion in their favor. Xu Xiu, having recorded the incident, prepares to counter the online manipulation. The situation escalates when Lin Youqiao’s family attempts to ruin Xu Xiu’s reputation further, but Xu Xiu remains composed, relying on her own resources and the support of her new neighbors, including Jiang Sinian, a young university professor who offers legal and media assistance.

The narrative shifts when Xu Xiu decides to reunite Xu Zhirang with his biological father. She arranges a meeting with Shen Xingyi at a luxury hotel, where the CEO is initially suspicious of her motives. After a paternity test confirms Xu Zhirang is his son, Shen Xingyi demands custody, but Xu Xiu negotiates visitation rights, insisting on shared decision-making for the child. Despite the tense negotiations, Shen Xingyi is intrigued by Xu Xiu’s independence and lack of greed, which contrasts sharply with the original plot’s expectations. He begins to spend time with his son, forming a tentative bond while remaining wary of Xu Xiu’s true intentions.

As the story progresses, the conflict with Lin Youqiao intensifies. Lin Youqiao’s attempts to destroy Xu Xiu’s reputation backfire when additional evidence of her family’s misconduct surfaces, leading to public backlash against the Lin family. Xu Xiu’s resilience and strategic thinking allow her to navigate the challenges of single motherhood and corporate intrigue. Meanwhile, Shen Xingyi’s interest in Xu Xiu grows, complicated by his growing feelings for her and the lingering effects of the original plot. The story sets the stage for a complex relationship between Xu Xiu and Shen Xingyi, as they both strive to protect Xu Zhirang while confronting the forces that seek to undermine them.
