The Phoenix Mom [Rebirth]

1

Tae died at the age of 24.
She died on the way back from dropping her four-year-old son off at kindergarten.
She was killed by a single knife blow from behind; she didn't even see the killer's face.
In the haze of consciousness due to excessive blood loss, Tae had a dream
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
[I dreamt that this world was a romance novel. ]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
[I was the "white moonlight" in the novel—the one who got pregnant and ran away, only to die young—while my two children were the cannon fodder foils to the female lead's children.]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
[My son drifted outside from a young age, becoming a street thug, competing with the female lead's honors-student son for the girl he liked, becoming a laughingstock, and eventually going astray and ending up in prison.]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
[My daughter lacked maternal love from a young age, was dull and unlikable, binged on food, and became very obese. ]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
[She competed with the female lead's ethereal daughter for the position of first violinist in the orchestra, only for her hand to be accidentally ruined, leading to a mental breakdown and abandonment by the family.]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
[At the end of the story, the female lead successfully replaces the "white moonlight" and enters the male lead's heart, and her pair of outstanding children are also recognized by the male lead's family. ]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
[The family lives the rest of their lives in happiness and bliss.]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
[So, I was inexplicably stabbed just to fit the "died young" setting?]
Before taking her last breath, Tae thought
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
What the hell.💭
Perhaps God heard her curse and had a sudden change of heart.
Then, Kim Tae was reborn.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
But the bad news was that I had been reborn (in future) during my son's seventeenth year—💭

You sneaky coward, daring to ambush me? Take this kick!
Tae kicked backward fiercely, hitting nothing but air, and almost fell over.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
*She opened her eyes*
She found herself in an unfamiliar environment.
It was at the entrance of a school.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
School?💭
A sign clearly read: An City Third Middle School.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
An.. City..? Third Middle School? 💭
Just as Tae was trying to figure out why she was here, she was attracted by a commotion.
Not far away, a group of people were gathered
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
It seemed like a confession...💭
Before her brain could react, her legs had already walked over, driven by gossip.
unknown
unknown
Chu Lian, be my girlfriend!
A "non-mainstream" youth with hair dyed red, yellow, and blue, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a skull pattern and ripped jeans, held a bouquet of roses, gazing tenderly at the girl opposite him.

The girl being confessed to lived up to her name; she had long, straight black hair, a slender figure, and a pure, endearing appearance.
Chu Lian (Xiao Lian/ School Beauty?)

But at this moment, she was cautiously hiding behind a friend, her eyes red and moist.
Not from being moved, but from fear and resistance.
As soon as the youth finished speaking, the little lackeys beside him started jeering
unknown
unknown
School Beauty Chu! Just agree to Brother Kim! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave today!
Chu Lian sobbed, her little face full of fear, yet there was still a trace of stubbornness.
Chu Lian (Xiao Lian/ School Beauty?)
Chu Lian (Xiao Lian/ School Beauty?)
*She shook her head*
Chu Lian (Xiao Lian/ School Beauty?)
Chu Lian (Xiao Lian/ School Beauty?)
.... Kim Yeonjoon, you, please don't be like this.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
*clenched her fists*.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
What a bullying little brat!💭
Chu Lian's female friend indignantly stood up and scolded
unknown
unknown
Kim Yeonjoon, that's enough! Xiao Lian is the School Beauty and lives in Yujing Garden.
unknown
unknown
You're just a bottom-of-the-barrel street thug, shamelessly pestering Xiao Lian all day.
unknown
unknown
You're really a toad lusting after swan meat!
Tae couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
This student is truly my spokesperson. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Yujing Garden was a luxury residential area with high property prices. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Before I "died," I had a fully furnished apartment in Yujing Garden worth six million that I had paid for in full. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
This Chu Lian being confessed to must have a good family background; the "non-mainstream" little brat was not worthy of her. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Hmm? Wait a second.💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
What was this little brat's name again?💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Yeonjoon?💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Why is it the same as my son's name?!💭
Tae suddenly had a bad premonition.
She looked up at the youth, ignoring his turkey-like hair, and saw his familiar features.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]

Her heart first skipped a beat, then turned cold.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
This toad-like little brat seemed to be... my son!!! 💭
Tae's fists were truly clenched tight now.
Then, she felt dizzy.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I remember the dream I had—my son was the foil to the female lead's honors-student son, and because he fought for the girl he liked, he became a laughingstock with a tragic ending. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Could this Chu Lian be that girl...!!l💭
Just as the atmosphere was stiff, a clean hand pushed through the crowd, and a pleasant male voice with a hint of coldness rang out
unknown
unknown
What are you all doing?
unknown
unknown
Class Monitor Shi!
Chu Lian's friend looked happy and quickly asked for help
unknown
unknown
Class Monitor Shi, you've finally arrived.
unknown
unknown
Yeonjoon is trying to force Xiao Lian to accept his confession!
The boy, with good features and an immaculate white shirt under his school uniform, turned to look at Chu Lian.
His thin lips parted, and his voice was gentle
unknown
unknown
Classmate Chu, are you okay?
Chu Lian bit her lip and shook her head, but her eyes were teary as she looked at the boy, as if she had seen a savior.
Tae felt dizzy again.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
If I haven't guessed wrong, this boy was the female lead's son—Shi Jin. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
So, I have transmigrated to the scene of a love triangle? 💭
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Enough!
Watching the person he liked exchanging looks with his "love rival," Yeonjoon's eyes blazed with anger.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
*crunched the rose wrapping paper.*
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
*glared at Shi Jin*
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Shi Jin!! This is none of your business. Get lost, or don't blame me for being rude.
Shi Jin, however, was not afraid.
His posture was as straight as bamboo, and he said righteously
Shi Jin (Xiao Jin) [FL
Shi Jin (Xiao Jin) [FL's Son]
If you make things difficult for a classmate, it is my business.
Shi Jin (Xiao Jin) [FL
Shi Jin (Xiao Jin) [FL's Son]

Chu Lian looked at Shi Jin with even more starry eyes.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I loved reading novels, so I knew exactly what a "foil" meant. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
In this scene, my "non-mainstream" son was completely crushed by the noble and upright Shi Jin, leaving nothing behind 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
He was simply a joker. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Shi Jin certainly didn't fear Yeonjoon's threat because he had brains and had already notified the school security team💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
In three minutes, Yeonjoon and his lackeys would be sent to a juvenile detention center for two days for causing trouble. 💭
Sure enough.
Tae saw Yeonjoon throw the roses on the ground and lunge toward Shi Jin.
However, halfway through his lunge, he was stopped.
A slender, white hand grabbed his collar.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Who is it!
Yeonjoon turned around in a rage.
It was Kim Tae
She turned to Shi Jin and Chu Lian and said
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Classmates, you go first. I've got this.
Chu Lian (Xiao Lian/ School Beauty?)
Chu Lian (Xiao Lian/ School Beauty?)
???
Shi Jin (Xiao Jin) [FL
Shi Jin (Xiao Jin) [FL's Son]
...??
Tae urged
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Go on, do you want to stay and get beaten up?
Despite their confusion, Chu Lian, Shi Jin, and that female friend left.
After walking some distance, Shi Jin even turned back to take another look at Kim Tae.
After a While, Tae let go.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Who are you?!
Yeonjoon, finally broke free from her grip, but the three were already far away, and it was too late to chase them.
He roared like a little lion in a rage.
Thinking about how they hadn't seen each other for "thirteen years," Tae specially straightened her clothes, revealed a kind and amiable smile, and introduced herself
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I am your mother.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?
The lackeys nearby all showed expressions of shock, as if surprised that this pretty girl would start off with such a dirty insult!
However, the moment Yeonjoon saw Tae's face, he froze in place.

Yeonjoon was dazed for a moment, then came back to his senses, confirming that Tae was indeed insulting him.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Are you looking for death?!
He clenched his fists again and raised his arm to swing.
Tae stood where she was, not moving, just watching him.
Yeonjoon's hand stopped in mid-air..
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
*For some reason, facing this face that looked so much like his mother's, he found he couldn't bring himself to swing*
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Damn it!
Yeonjoon lowered his hand, simply giving up.
He stepped over the roses and waved to his lackeys
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Let's go!
Tae threw the flowers on the ground into a nearby trash can and followed them.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Yeonjoon, I am your mother.
She said while following him
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I really am your mother.
The lackeys were all stunned
unknown

Seriously? Brother Kim had shown mercy and let her go, so why was she still chasing them and cursing?💭
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Crazy!
Yeonjoon felt a sense of irritation, not wanting to bicker with a lunatic.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
*He walked faster and faster, eventually even running*
As a result, Tae lost track of him at the next intersection.

The sky was gradually darkening.
Tae was squatting on the streets of An City, a place that was both familiar and strange after thirteen years.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I had been squatting for three hours. Uhh... 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I still couldn't quite accept that my child, who used to be so well-behaved, cute, clingy, and spoke in a milky voice, had grown up to become a punk.💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
And the most critical part was that this little ingrate didn't even recognize me. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I had even told him that I was his mother. 💭
At that moment, all sorts of street vendors were coming over to set up their stalls.
unknown
unknown
Move aside, you're standing on my stall.
An old lady pushing a small cart appeared behind Tae.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Sorry.
Tae hurriedly stood up, moved away, found another spot to continue squatting, and continued to doubt her life.
The old lady was selling some handmade trinkets.
While setting up her stall, she noticed Tae and casually struck up a conversation
unknown
unknown
Young lady, you're still in high school, right? At this hour, shouldn't you be at school for evening classes?
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Ma'am, I'm not a student.
Many people had told Tae that she looked young for her age, so she explained
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
My son is already four years old—
She paused, then corrected herself
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
He's seventeen.
The old lady looked at Tae with an expression one might reserve for a "mental patient".
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
What's wrong?
The old lady handed over a small mirror and said in a tone that suggested she saw right through her
unknown
unknown
Young lady, if you want to skip class, there should be a limit to the lies you make up.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
What? 💭
Tae took the mirror suspiciously and looked down.
Then, she froze completely.

The person in the mirror was a young girl with red lips, white teeth, bright and vivid features, and a pair of particularly alluring almond eyes.

Kim Tae [MC]
It was indeed me, without a doubt. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
But this—was at most what I looked like at eighteen. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Not in my twenties, and not in my thirties. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
But... eighteen! 💭
The old lady at the stall heard the girl holding the mirror let out a loud laugh towards the sky.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Ha 😆ha 🤩ha 😂ha
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I've regained my youth! Hahaha!
Tae, who had only been happy for three seconds, stopped.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Now I know why my son didn't recognize me....💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
How could an eighteen-year-old have a seventeen-year-old son?💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
My Son must have mistaken me for a scammer! 💭
Tae's first reaction was to find her son and explain everything.
But after more than a decade, the streets of An City had changed too much; she had no idea where to look..
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
"......"
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Call him? 💭
Tae felt both of her pants pockets, but didn't find a phone.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Even if I had a phone, I didn't have my son's number... Sigh 💭
At that moment, the aroma from a nearby snack stall drifted over.
Tae's stomach started growling in response.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
*Hadn't eaten dinner yet*
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
*She checked her pockets again* .
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Well, I didn't even have any money (⁠ب⁠_⁠ب⁠) 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
What is God playing at? ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Letting me be reborn just to leave me to fend for myself?💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
That won't do. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
This time, I would take my fate into my own hands, not leave it to the heavens! 💭
Tae noticed the old lady at the stall weaving handmade accessories with colorful threads.
As it happened, she knew some handicrafts too..
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Perfect 💭
So she went up to negotiate with the old lady
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Madam, I could help you make them, with a fee of one yuan per accessory... okay?
The old lady refused directly.
unknown
unknown
No need.
unknown
unknown
This is a small business of mine; there aren't many customers, and...
unknown
unknown
....I can manage on my own.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
*But she didn't give up*
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Then how about this? I'll make two for you for free first.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
If they sell, you can pay me one yuan per item starting from the third one.
The old lady glanced at Tae's slender fingers and, assuming Tae must be pampered, expressed doubt
unknown
unknown
You know how?
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I do
Tae took the thread and crochet hook, her movements fluid, and in no time, a white and blue little shark appeared in her hand.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]

Seeing that the old lady had DIY mini-lights in her box, she had a flash of inspiration.
She took one, stuffed it into the shark, and attached a small silver ring.
A glowing keychain was finished!!!
The old lady exclaimed in surprise.
unknown
unknown
Oh, you really do know how. (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)
No sooner had she finished speaking than the keychain attracted a young woman passing by.
unknown
unknown
So pretty, how much is this?
The old lady gauged the customer's interest, rolled her eyes, and quoted a price three yuan higher than usual
unknown
unknown
Take it for eight yuan.
The other person readily scanned the code to pay.
Her friend, who was with her, was also convinced and hurriedly asked if there were any more of the same style.
unknown
unknown
Yes yes!
The old lady immediately agreed to Tae's proposal.
In the end, Tae received a total of five yuan in labor fees.
With the money in hand, she prepared to go buy a hand-grab pancake to fill her stomach.
She was stopped by the old lady
unknown
unknown
Young lady, let's make a deal.
unknown
unknown
I have some mugwort rice balls I made this afternoon; I'll give them to you to eat if you teach me how to make those things you just made.
unknown
unknown
How about it?
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Okay <⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠>
Tae readily agreed

Yeonjoon watched this scene.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
*He didn't know what was wrong with himself either.*
He had clearly already walked away, yet he had returned along the same path to find this woman who used foul language.
Because if he didn't find her, his heart would just keep racing with anxiety
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
This was too strange.💭
Until he saw Tae using a crochet hook to make accessories, and he froze.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
In my memory, my mother was very good at making these small accessories. 💭
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Many children in kindergarten envied the different doll charms on my school bag every day. 💭
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Back then, I would hold a small blue and white shark and proudly tell everyone: "You laugh at me for not having a dad, but I have the most dexterous and loving mother in the world!" 💭
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
This person... how does she know how to do it too? 💭
Tae devoured four mugwort rice balls in one go, as if she had been starving for three days and three nights.
The old lady's eyes filled with affection, and she took out a small bag of peanuts
unknown
unknown
Child, take this and eat.
Tae waved her hand
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Thank you, but I'm allergic to peanuts.
This sentence clearly reached the ears of Yeonjoon, who was walking over with long strides.
The teenager's footsteps came to a sudden halt.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
My mother was also allergic to peanuts...💭
The old lady noticed Yeonjoon.
unknown
unknown
Hey young man, want to buy something?
Tae looked up and her expression brightened
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Son!
Yeonjoon's gaze swept heavily over the little shark in the old lady's hand and finally rested on Tae's face.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and an inexplicable impulse urged him to ask a question
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
On the painting I brought home from kindergarten on my first day, what was drawn on it??
Tae raised an eyebrow, realized what he was asking, and answered without difficulty
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
It was a picture of a little shark and its shark mommy.
Yeonjoon's breath hitched.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
That painting was one I had secretly drawn and brought home in my school bag to give to my mother. 💭
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
In this world, besides myself, only my mother knew what was on the painting. 💭
The teenager stepped back in disbelief, his turkey-like hairstyle trembling slightly along with him.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
You, you really are my.....
Tae was almost moved to tears and nodded
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Yes, yes, that's right, my son, I am your mom!

Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
You mean to say that after you died, the next time you opened your eyes, you appeared at the gate of Third Middle School, and you were in the form of an eighteen-year-old?
Yeonjoon succinctly summarized Tae's words.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Yes ^⁠_⁠^
Yeonjoon felt it was too unbelievable, but looking at his mother, who had long left him, reappearing before his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but sting.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Mom...?
Tae had originally wanted to give her son a warm hug, but that turkey-colored hair—
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
No, it was too ugly to bear! 💭
Tae closed her eyes and directly shattered the sentimental atmosphere.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Hurry and take me home!
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
My feet were numb from squatting, and I couldn't wait to go home and soak in a comfortable, fragrant petal bath in the massage tub! 💭

Kim Tae [MC]
Son, this isn't our home, is it?
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
(╭ರ_•́)
Tae asked, doubting reality.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
No, this is a place I rented to live in.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Huh? Why would we rent a place to live when we have our own house?
Yeonjoon was silent for a moment and raised his hand to touch his nose.
As his birth mother, Tae could tell at a glance that this was a small habit he only had when he was feeling guilty, but Yeonjoon only said
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Let's go up first and talk about it then.
The apartment Yeonjoon rented was a small unit under sixty square meters with two bedrooms and one living room
As soon as they entered, the apartment felt lightly lived-in and was kept quite tidy.
Tae nodded unconsciously
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Hmm, not bad. 💭

Kim Tae [MC]
My grown-up son finally took after me a little bit—he was clean. 💭
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
You can stay in this bedroom.
Yeonjoon pushed open the door to the empty bedroom in front of Tae.
Tae expected to see an empty room.
But when the light turned on, she saw that the bed was made with sheets and a quilt.
There was a desk, a vanity, and a wardrobe in the room.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Setting aside the size, the arrangement and layout were exactly the same as my room in Yujing Garden. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Furthermore, the room was spotless, clearly cleaned often, and ready for someone to move in at any moment...💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
This is.....
Receiving Tae's confused gaze, Yeonjoon lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
His voice sounded somewhat dejected, though he tried to act casual
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
It's nothing.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
I just felt that if I set it up this way, it would be as if you were always here, as if you had never left, and I wasn't alone.
For Tae, the separation from her son was merely the blink of an eye.
But for Yeonjoon, it was a thirteen-year void of his mother's absence.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Son...
Tae looked at Yeonjoon and couldn't help but take a step forward.
Yeonjoon looked at Tae as well and began
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Mom...
He subconsciously opened his arms, preparing to receive a moving, long-overdue, warm embrace from his mother.
Then, a heavy slap landed right on his forehead—

Have you lost your mind? I have my own big room, why are you setting up a snail shell for me?
If Yeonjoon had been in a hazy, dreamlike state just a moment ago, he now felt the true reality that his mother had indeed returned.

Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
With this slapping technique, there was no need for a paternity test; this was my real mother, absolutely genuine! 💭
Tae pulled her hand back and took a tour of the place—or rather, a tour where she didn't even need to take many steps.
With one turn of her head, she had seen the whole apartment.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
It didn't even reach my minimum standard of acceptability!! (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠ ⁠) 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Now can you tell me? What exactly happened to our house? Why do we have to live here?
Tae crossed her arms and stared at Yeonjoon.
Yeonjoon looked to the side, avoiding eye contact with Tae, and touched his nose again.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
You...
Tae narrowed her eyes, and just as she was about to speak, the light overhead began to flicker.
It flickered a third time and then went out completely.
The living room plunged into darkness.

Oh, this damn piece-of-trash house! Zero points! Zero points! 💭
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
I'll fix the lightbulb first!
It was as if Yeonjoon had finally found a chance to breathe.
He first went to turn off the main power switch, then dug out a toolbox, moved a chair under the lightbulb, and handed his phone, with the flashlight turned on, to Tae.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
Mom, give me a hand.
Tae reluctantly took the phone and raised her hand to provide light for him.
Suddenly, the phone screen in her hand lit up.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
It seemed to be a notification from the school's Tieba for a post Yeonjoon was following. 💭
Tae glanced at it subconsciously and saw keywords like "Kim Yeonjoon," "confession," and "School Beauty Chu" in the title.
Tae immediately perked up and prepared to click on it.
It didn't open; a password screen popped up.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
What password my son might set. 💭
Three seconds later, she pressed 123456.
It opened.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
"..."
Once inside, it went directly to the content of the notification she had just seen.

Title: 【Shocking! School bully Kim Yeonjoon confesses to School Beauty Chu and gets rejected again, again, again, and again!】

The post was made three hours ago, and the anonymous replies had already piled up to several hundred floors!! 💭

[Does the OP even know how to write a title? It should be: 'Toad-like man Kim Yeonjoon shamelessly pursues School Beauty Chu, gets rejected, flies into a rage, and threatens to keep School Beauty Chu from leaving!']

[I was on the scene today, watching from afar. It was exactly like what the first commenter said! If it weren't for Class President Shi Jin from Class 1, who knows what would have happened.]
students

[If you ask me, Kim Yeonjoon and that group of hoodlums around him are the black sheep of Third Middle School. They should be locked up in a juvenile detention center for reform!]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
"..."
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Among the hundreds of replies, eighty-nine percent were bashing Yeonjoon......💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
One percent were bashing Yeonjoon's lackeys......💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
And the remaining ten percent were all concerned about Chu Lian's safety. 💭

Kim Tae [MC]
"..."
At this moment, a notification popped up at the top of the screen: "Someone you follow has posted!"
While browsing the comments, Tae accidentally clicked it.
She saw a reply from a user with the ID "I am Chu Xiao Lian"
Chu Lian (Xiao Lian/ School Beauty?)
Chu Lian (Xiao Lian/ School Beauty?)
[Hello everyone, I am Chu Lian. I am fine and nothing happened. Regarding today's events, I believe classmate Kim Yeonjoon was just acting on impulse and didn't mean to hurt me, so please don't pay too much attention to this anymore.]
Below, she also posted a selfie to show she was doing well.

Someone replied instantly, "[Wuwu, I'm literally crying, School Beauty Chu is so beautiful and kind-hearted!]
Tae just thought this was too much of a pushover.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Although the target of the harassment was my own son, if it were me facing such harassment, I would have hung myself outside the guy's door in the middle of the night to scare the pee out of him. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Let's see if he'd dare to like me again! 💭

Then, Tae casually tapped on the selfie.
In the photo, Chu Lian looked harmless, her body tilted to the side, revealing—whether intentionally or unintentionally—a Maotai wall in the upper right corner.
Tae's first reaction was
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Hmm? Good taste! I also have a hobby of collecting Maotai. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Whether it was vintage liquor or zodiac-themed bottles, I would store a dozen or so every year. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Putting together an entire wall of liquor like that would add up to about five or six million. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
I hadn't expected someone in Chu Lian's family to share this hobby.💭
students
students
[Oh my god, what am I seeing? So much Maotai! Help, this is way too extravagant!]
students
students
[I feel even more like Kim Yeonjoon is a toad lusting after a swan. For a wealthy heiress like School Beauty Chu to be pestered by such a poor loser is like having the worst luck in eight lifetimes!]
students
students
[Wuwu, Miss Chu, are you really not considering hiring a bodyguard? Let's see if that toad-like man would dare to harass you then.]
students
students
[If you ask me, the only person in school who can match School Beauty Chu's family background is a wealthy young master like Class President Shi Jin from Class 1.]
Tae zoomed in on the photo, preparing to carefully admire the other party's Maotai.
As she admired them bottle by bottle, her eyes lit up again and again.
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Not only were our tastes the same, but the types in the collection were identical too. 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
So identical!!💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
wait--- the more I look, the more familiar it feels.💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
This... isn't this my Maotai wall!!! 💭
Tae hurriedly clicked into Chu Lian's homepage and scrolled through the posts Chu Lian had replied to.
There weren't many, and they were basically all selfies, and without exception, her body was tilted to the side, leaving the upper left or right corners empty.
Then, as Tae flipped through them one by one, she saw...

Kim Tae [MC]
My massage bathtub! 💭
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
My oversized princess bed that was as soft as cotton candy! 💭

Kim Tae [MC]
My custom solid wood vanity! 💭

My display cabinet for out-of-print figures! 💭

My game console, plus the complete set of deluxe edition game cartridges! 💭

Kim Tae [MC]
Mine, mine, mine... All of them! MINE! 💭

This is, for crying out loud, my three-hundred-square-meter house in Yujing Garden!!! 💭

Yeonjoon was focused on fixing the lightbulb.
As he worked, for some reason, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook
Kim Yeonjoon [taekook's Son]
*He turned his head to look and was so scared he nearly fell off the chair*
He saw that Tae's face was illuminated deathly pale by the phone screen.

She said eerily
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Yeonjoon, from this moment on, you have the right to remain silent, but every word you say from here on out will be your final testament before you are reincarnated.
She held the selfie of Chu Lian with the Maotai wall up to Yeonjoon and said
Kim Tae [MC]
Kim Tae [MC]
Explain why she is in MY house.
