A Simple Guide to Surviving as a Stepmom

When a girl abused by her father wakes up in a novel as Luella Masimelle, the cruel stepmother of the protagonist Hirah, she is determined to make things different. To do this, she proposes a contractual marriage to Duke Huppert to make him Hirah's guardian, but the duke surprisingly seems genuinely interested in her. And with the once timid Hirah also starting to open up and show affection to her, Luella begins to wonder if she'll finally have a happy family... Or is it all too good to be true? --- The oven exploded while I was baking bread, and I faced death along with my abusive father, who had come seeking me. Then I woke up in a novel I was reading. “I’m sorry, Mo..ther. I’m not hurt.” In the body of the villainous stepmother “Leila”, who abused the male protagonist “Hirua” when he was young, but was eventually executed by Hirua when he returned as the emperor! In order to help Hirua leave the stepmother’s wraith and live happily, I encounter the Marquis “Lacias Huppert”, who played a crucial role in the original, and proposed a contractual marriage. “Can we have a real marriage instead of a contractual one?” “Oh, can I sleep with Mother too?” Contrary to the plan to leave only the two of them after a year, it seems that both the Marquis and Hirua have unexpectedly started to become attached to me.
