Synopsis

She woke up inside a novel as the mother of "Einspanner" — the story's ultimate villain-in-the-making — and not just any mother, but the wicked stepmother who abuses the child and is eventually killed for it. While she's frantically trying to figure out how to escape this deadly fate, she gets her first look at the future villain himself: a wide-eyed, innocent little boy without a sinister bone in his body. "How am I supposed to mistreat a child this adorable?!" She makes up her mind on the spot to protect him instead. Her only condition: when you grow up and become terrifyingly powerful, please return the favor and keep me alive.
