Mother-in-Law, This Game Is Mine to Win

Let me summarize both my past and present lives… in just three lines.

In my previous life: A cheating, spineless husband. A mother-in-law devoid of compassion. And a brother-in-law who fancied himself the very pinnacle of masculine allure.

In this life: A husband who is his perfect opposite. A mother-in-law who embodies kindness itself. And a brother-in-law who is… remarkably different.

Satisfied? No—blissfully, entirely content.

“You’re truly blessed, aren’t you? What other mother-in-law lives right next to her daughter-in-law and does all the housework like a common maid?”

I endured years of humiliation under my in-laws’ roof—until the day I discovered my husband’s affair. That day… the woman I once was died.

And when I opened my eyes again, I found myself inside the pages of a regret-filled romance novel—as the villainess, no less. The one the male lead would later beg not to leave him.

‘If I live the same life again, I’ll only end up broken, scorned, and cast aside once more.’

But not this time. Never again.

This life, I have a plan: a handsome commoner for a lover, a generous inheritance from my late parents, and a peaceful estate far from meddling husbands and in-laws. A life of luxury and serenity, all on my own terms.

But before that, I must safely break off the engagement with the story’s hero.

I did everything I could to avoid offending his powerful, high-ranking family. And then—

“Um… Mother—I mean, Lady?”

“Did you just call me ‘Mother’?”

“A-ah, no… I didn’t mean to, it just slipped out—”

“Slipped out? Nonsense. It came out perfectly.”

“…?”

“Well done. It sounded lovely. From now on, do keep calling me ‘Mother’.”

‘Why are they so fond of me? What is going on here?!’

“Da In…?”

And lo and behold—my wicked former mother-in-law, my arrogant brother-in-law, and the cheating ex-husband from my past life… they’re all here?

‘Wait, this isn’t just a new father-in-law… it’s the same family all over again?!’

A sharp-witted revenge tale with a graceful touch of comedy, where the heroine finds herself reborn into a new family…
But this time, she holds the reins.

“Dearest Mother-in-law… this round belongs to me.”
