Lu Jiangci is a frail, chronically ill, extremely introverted person. One day, he transmigrates into a book and becomes the stepfather of the three children of Ye Shihan, the legendary cold-blooded, ruthless, and merciless wealthy CEO.
Ye Shihan is mysterious and keeps a low profile. The only things the public has ever seen are a marriage contract from three years ago and trending news that his three still-milky little ones are about to appear on a family variety show.
Ye Shihan: "Finish one last task and we'll divorce. You'll also get a huge settlement."
With no other choice, Lu Jiangci steels himself and takes the three little ones to the variety show's filming location.
On the day the show is announced, the entire Lu family is mocked online.
"I heard the CEO's husband gets so flustered when he sees a camera. I really want to see him cry."
"He can't even take care of himself. How can he look after kids?"
"Those little ones are so unlucky. Will they even get milk with a stepfather like that?"
But on camera, Lu Jiangci is surrounded by the three toddlers. His lashes lowered, his pale, cool beauty inspires pity.
"Little Daddy, don't be scared. I'll block the camera for you."
"Little Daddy, I've memorized my self-introduction, so you don't have to say anything."
"Little Daddy, your medicine is in my diaper bag. Take it when the alarm goes off later!"
The viewers waiting for him to fail: "..."
What is this?! A sickly, introverted person being looked after by the kids?!
Whose angel babies are these? I'm so jealous!!!
When the show airs, kids from other families cry and fuss late into the night, needing to be soothed to sleep, while their parents fall apart.
Lu Jiangci is picky about his bed and can't sleep, so the little ones take their pillows and sheets from home out of their suitcases and even sweetly sing him a lullaby.
During competitive events, kids from other families fight for first place, leaving their parents exhausted.
Lu Jiangci's whole family lies flat. The little ones say, "Daddy can't carry us, so it's just as well if we walk by ourselves!"
In family games where parents and children have to work together, other families are all smiles, with loving parents.
The little ones are massaging Lu Jiangci's back and legs: "Daddy is too busy, so let us be the ones to love you!"
The Lu family gains countless fans, and viewers exclaim, "The little ones are so adorable and thoughtful! This stepfather is so lucky!"
But some people question it: "What's so lucky about it? Her husband doesn't even show up. She's just a prop!"
Right after they say this, Ye Shihan arrives at the filming site, looking travel-worn. He ushers the three toddlers aside and frowns. "It's my turn to appear this episode."
Lu Jiangci: "..."
After the show ends, Lu Jiangci carefully asks Ye Shihan, "You said we'd get divorced when it was over, and that you'd give me a lot of money."
Ye Shihan clenches his fists and says coldly, "Not happening."
The three little ones can't take it anymore. They each pull out their New Year's money and pool together ten million to give Lu Jiangci.
But when they open the bedroom door, they see Big Daddy holding Little Daddy in his arms and coaxing him: "Don't divorce me. I'll give you all my money, okay?"
The three little ones: "..."
No! Little Daddy is ours!
