Transformed into a Cannon Fodder Sick Beauty, Relying on a Slacker Baby to Explode in Popularity

Ye Shuang, a celebrated actress on the verge of winning a Triple Gold Award, dies in a car accident and transmigrates into the body of a sickly woman bearing the same name. This new host was a cannon fodder character in a novel, forced into the entertainment industry to pay for her grandmother's medical bills. After being recognized as the true daughter of the Ye family, she was subjected to a year of psychological abuse and manipulation by her biological parents. They used her grandmother's life as leverage to force her into a marriage alliance with the Ji family. On her wedding night, her so-called sister revealed that the grandmother had died due to delayed treatment, causing the original host to collapse from grief and die. A mysterious system recruited Ye Shuang to take her place, offering a healthy life in exchange for completing a mission: to intervene in the upbringing of the Ji family's twin sons, Ji Li and Ji Zhou. In the original story, these brothers were driven apart by a female lead, leading to Ji Zhou's tragic death and the male lead's descent into darkness. Ye Shuang accepts the mission, viewing it as a chance to live and avenge the original host's suffering.

Upon recovering in the hospital, Ye Shuang is visited by the Ji family's old butler, Zhong, who assures her that the family will protect her from the Ye family's harassment. She learns that her nominal husband, Ji Huaiqing, is the head of the powerful Ji family and a workaholic who rarely returns home. Realizing she will inherit significant wealth and have no marital obligations, Ye Shuang is pleased with her new situation. She is discharged from the hospital and returns to the Ji family manor, where she meets her two four-year-old stepsons. Ji Li and Ji Zhou are adorable but initially wary of her, having been abused by previous nannies. They attempt to bribe her with platinum cards to accompany them to a variety show, but Ye Shuang refuses the money, citing her husband's unlimited supplementary card. The children, confused by her rejection, resort to crying and acting coquettishly. Ye Shuang negotiates a deal: she will join the show if they behave well for two days. The children agree, and Ye Shuang begins to assert her authority by making them perform small chores, such as massaging her legs and pouring water, which endears her to the household staff.

A few days later, the school calls because Ji Li and Ji Zhou have gotten into a fight. Ye Shuang rushes to the kindergarten, where she finds the boys being bullied by the parents of two other children. The bullies' parents, instigated by a mysterious woman, had provoked the twins into fighting so they could extort compensation from the Ji family. The plump mother of one bully starts a live stream, attempting to smear Ye Shuang's reputation by claiming the stepmother is abusive and neglectful. Ye Shuang remains calm and records the woman's aggressive behavior. When the woman threatens to sue, Ye Shuang reveals she has already recorded the woman's initial insults and threats. The Ji family's legal team, led by a sharp lawyer, arrives and intimidates the bullies' parents into backing down. The school administrators, fearing the Ji family's wrath, apologize profusely. Ye Shuang comforts her stepsons, teaching them that yielding to adults is sometimes the best way to protect themselves. She agrees to participate in the variety show, and the children excitedly call her "Mom," marking the beginning of their bond. Meanwhile, Ji Huaiqing, unaware of the incident, continues his business overseas, communicating only through his secretary, Lin He, who reports on the family's affairs with caution.
