Name: Godfather, You’re So Wild (Hong Kong)
Author: Rivers And Lakes Unseen

Synopsis

[1980s Hong Kong and Macao showbiz + a custody battle over Dad = a sexy Daddy turned star agent!]

Xie Mingyan transmigrated into a book. When he realized he had become the major villain in a crime novel, he felt like his whole world had fallen apart!

In the story, the villain adopted six orphans from an orphanage and raised them to help him commit crimes, all so that once everything was over, his adopted children could take the fall for him in prison!!!

The reader he used to be was speechless: “Come on! If you can raise six kids, you can do anything. Why on earth would you choose a life of crime???”

Kids eat you out of house and home. As the adoptive father of six, Xie Mingyan nearly blacked out when he saw the three-digit balance in his bank account!

Back at the site of their old orphanage, the six children saw their adoptive father return with a dark look on his face and immediately started trembling with anxiety.

The eldest, Xie Yixiao, shielded his younger siblings and cautiously stepped forward, kneeling before their adoptive father.

“Godfather, is something making you unhappy?”

If you’re upset, hit me. Don’t hit my younger brothers and sisters.

The second son, Wei Qi, rushed over at once and wrapped his arms around his adoptive father’s leg, keeping him from kicking the eldest away.

“Godfather! Let me rub your legs! I’ve been really good lately!!!”

Xie Mingyan looked at the two handsome boys in front of him and had just raised a hand to pat them when someone grabbed it and started massaging it.

The third son, Bai Jinshu, wore a gentle, ingratiating smile as he clutched their adoptive father’s hand.

“Godfather~ Your arms must be tired too, right? Let me rub them for you~”

As he enjoyed his adopted sons’ attentions, Xie Mingyan sensed the hatred that the fourth son and the other two children were trying hard to conceal.

He beckoned to Qiu Kangtai, one of the twins. The boy forced a smile and came over.

Qiu Kangtai still clutched the notebook he treasured, then carefully crouched down and looked up at his adoptive father like a subordinate addressing his superior.

“Godfather.”

Could it be that Godfather had found out about the things he’d been doing behind his back?

But the next moment, everyone heard their adoptive father ask Kangtai a question.

“Kangtai, what do you think of Jiajia’s looks? She’s sixteen now, a young woman already.”

The adopted sons’ eyes instantly turned dark. They lowered their heads to hide their murderous intent, while Qiu Kangtai’s fingers trembled and his eyes twitched.

“Godfather, what do you mean?”

Qiu Jiajia, the girl in question, was sixteen that year. Her brothers had always protected her, but now she stepped forward and knelt before their adoptive father.

“Godfather, you gave my brothers and me our lives. Whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do it.”

They had guessed at their godfather’s wicked intentions, but without his protection all these years, who knew where they would have ended up?

Xie Mingyan looked over his six well-behaved adopted children and his thoughtful little girl, feeling thoroughly satisfied.

“That’s right. I’ve raised you all these years and watched you grow up. Now you’re finally old enough to hold this family together. Godfather’s getting old, and the future belongs to you young people. So, Jiajia, I want you and your brothers to do something for me. Are you willing?”

The adopted children all fell silent, knowing that this day would come sooner or later. After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

They assumed their adoptive father was about to make them do something illegal, when he suddenly spoke, looking thoroughly excited.

“You boys have grown more handsome by the year, and you girls more beautiful! So, kids, fame favors the young! It’s time we made it in showbiz! Starting today, we’re preparing to debut as stars!!!”

???

The group of adopted children froze, staring at their excited godfather in disbelief.

Eldest son Xie Yixiao: So... I’ve been practicing Muay Thai and butterfly knife tricks every day to become a star???

Second son Wei Qi: Then did I study city maps every day so I could dodge fans and paparazzi?

Third son Bai Jinshu: No wonder Godfather encouraged me to dance and study music. He was training me to be an idol?

Fourth son Situ Xingxuan: So I studied chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and equipment assembly to protect myself from casting couch demands in showbiz?

Fifth son Qiu Kangtai: I never imagined my incredible hacking skills were meant for fighting online haters...

Sixth child Qiu Jiajia: I mastered disguise just so I could become a chameleonic movie queen???

Godfather... are you even normal???
