The Fake Young Master Is Doted on by Nonhuman Creatures on a Family Variety Show
-
Back to age seven.
Two choices lie before Cheng Xishi.
One is a business elite in a fine suit. The other is a kind, cheerful uncle, still young and green.
In his previous life, Cheng Xishi chose the former in hopes of getting treatment for his illness.
The elite took him home and began an endless regimen of elite heir training. He was forced to live in a suffocating cage, and no matter how hard he tried, he still faced scorn from his elders.
Until one day, the elite brought home a beautiful boy.
They said he was the real young master, who had been living away from home. They didn't need Cheng Xishi anymore.
So this time, he grabbed hold of the kind uncle.

His new adoptive father is a good man.
Just a little strange. Not only is his body cold, he doesn't breathe, either.
One day, when Cheng Xishi comes home from school, his adoptive father doesn't even realize he has melted into a puddle of mud. Wearing a bizarre, misshapen body, he smiles and asks:
“You're back. Would you like one fried egg or two?”
Cheng Xishi: “...”
His adoptive father is a monster.
He doesn't just lack parenting skills, he lacks experience at being human, too.
To become a qualified rookie dad, his adoptive father signs up for a parent-child variety show.
During filming, Cheng Xishi discovers that his adoptive father is working hard to learn about humans. Even after cutting his hand countless times with a kitchen knife, he keeps doggedly researching recipes that won't trigger Cheng Xishi's allergies.
His deskmate, a problem child who refuses to obey anyone, keeps finding ways to give him expensive gifts and is the first to protect him when a fight breaks out.
The show's staff give him snacks every day, while the other parents use their connections and influence to step in without hesitation whenever his family is given a hard time.

This cheerful, scatterbrained, handsome adoptive father and cool, refined young master duo quickly takes the internet by storm.
Their topics, memes, and fan reports trend everywhere.
Online praise and reviews are full of goodwill. Even a famous award-winning actor secretly contacts Cheng Xishi and tries every way to win him over... though it's only to get his dad's WeChat.
Cheng Xishi has never experienced such pure kindness and love.
This is enough, he thinks.
His illness is beyond what an ordinary family could afford to treat. But getting to live a happy second life is enough.
He tells his adoptive father about his illness and solemnly says goodbye to Him.
As He listens, question marks sprout all over His head. “So you've got a really hard-to-treat illness?”
Cheng Xishi nods.
“You should've said so sooner, kiddo.”
His adoptive father laughs, turning back into a bizarre mass of black sludge. He catches an indescribable liquid in a cup and shoves it into Cheng Xishi's mouth.
“Your dad is the weirdest of the weird, the best dad there is, and a cure-all.”
Don't worry, dear child.
Not only will you survive, you'll live a happy life.
Always remember that someone loves you.

After that day, Cheng Xishi understands one thing:
#Turns out, his birth family is instantly a lot happier when there are no humans in it#
1. The protagonist is a frail, aloof little boy with a high IQ.
2. The variety show is the main focus. It should be a heartwarming, everyday comedy.
3. The goofy adoptive father and the award-winning actor have a romance. The protagonist has no romance while underage; it's mainly cute interactions with the kiddo. After he becomes an adult, there will be a romance with the problem child, but it won't take up much of the story.
