I'm Only a Stepmother, but My Daughter is Just so Cute! Chapter 1
1. Snow White’s Stepmother

I saw a beautiful woman reflected in the mirror. Her smooth silver hair rippled like the ocean waves, and her purple eyes shone like an amethyst. She looked quite beautiful, but at the same time, her eyes gave off a sharp, ruthless aura. She looked almost venomous. Quite a fitting face for a villain.The woman’s lips were red, as red as blood, and they parted to ask in a low voice,

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”

The surface of the mirror started to ripple, like someone threw a pebble into a pond. In a flash, the woman disappeared from the mirror to reveal the face of a young girl.

“The fairest one of them all is the princess, Blanche Friedkin, your Majesty Abigail.”

I gazed at the mirror in a daze. The girl in the mirror must have felt me looking at her based on the scared expression gracing her face.

“Blanche…”

I approached the mirror as I let Blanche’s name escape my lips. Princess Blanche Friedkin, a young girl who turned 11 just this year. As the mirror said, the girl was indeed beautiful. Her black hair resembled the noble midnight sky. Her skin, as white as snow, didn’t have a single blemish upon it. Her eyes, like a rabbit’s, were absolutely lovely. Her soft, plump cheeks were practically begging to be pinched. She was more cute than beautiful at her current age, but she was bound to get numerous proposals as she matured.

“As I thought…”

Bang! I punched the wall in front of me with all the strength I could muster. Bang! Bang! The more I punched, the more agitated I became. As I thought, as I thought, Blanche is…!

“As I thought, Blanche is the cutest in the entire world!”

Once again, I was unable to control my love for Blanche. Even with the face of a doll, she managed to look regal and adorable at the same time! The mirror showed Blanche talking to her nanny with tears in her eyes. A cuteness that combined the likes of a rabbit and a puppy…! If this was the 21st century, she easily would have become a child star capable of captivating the hearts of millions. Ahhhhh! I just can’t get over how adorable she is! I ended up punching the wall a few more time to let off more steam. After a bit more time passed, I finally managed to calm down. I have some blood on my fists, but that doesn’t matter. Phew, Blanche is super duper cute today. To think this adorable girl is my daughter… I couldn’t believe it.

Technically she wasn’t my real daughter, but I could care less about being blood related. I ended up getting this beautiful child around a month ago. When I died and opened my eyes again, I found myself, somehow, in the world of Snow White.

My name is Baekhap Lee, a normal woman thirty years of age. I did overtime just like everyone else, I worried about my looks just like everyone else, and was concerned about my weight just like everyone else. Only hearing my name, most people would assume me to be a pale, thin girl like the Lily of my namesake. But reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Dark skin, short, chubby, but with an attractive personali-… no, who am I kidding? I was ugly as all hell. I was an average, ugly woman. My looks ended up making a lot of trouble back in the day, yet I managed to live a happy life. And it was all thanks to work.

After getting a degree in design, I got myself a job in a children’s clothing company. I designed clothes, and got to see them make their way to the market. It was far too enjoyable for me. But I must’ve wound up working too hard. After several years of being overworked, I ended up dying during the middle of a nap in the company. It probably happened because I ended up trying to diet while overworking… Ugh, I should have just settled with one or the other. In any case, I ended up dying, and opened my eyes in this body.
