A Guide to Raising Whales [Book Transmigration]

Synopsis: Fu Jingjing was a newborn whale in the sea. He was lucky enough to gain intelligence as soon as he was born, but unlucky enough to accidentally swallow ocean trash, get poisoned, and die. After dying, Jingjing opened his eyes once more and discovered he had become a long-bodied creature with two hands and two feet: a "human." Except his hands were short, and so were his feet. Newly human, Jingjing knew nothing except that he had a money-grubbing mom who was determined to push him into showbiz! What he didn't know was that he had transmigrated into an entertainment-industry novel and landed the role of the villain. In the original story, he entered showbiz as a child and shot to fame with a single drama, becoming the "son" of millions of internet users. But as he grew more popular, he picked up his money-grubbing mother's bad habits and started throwing his weight around. As he got older, his acting talent eventually disappeared, and he faded into obscurity. By contrast, the protagonist suffered through hardship, steadily improved his acting, and ultimately won every major award. After the protagonist made a name for himself and became an award-winning actor, Jingjing was drowning in debt because of contract violations and his terrible public image. To make matters worse, a clip from a shoot more than a decade earlier surfaced. In it, Jingjing, still a little boy, viciously scolded and hit the protagonist, every word cutting deep. He was as awful as could be. Fu Jingjing became everyone's target, hated by thousands and rejected by millions. But now, the cannon-fodder character from the original story has been possessed by someone else. Jingjing: (*^_^*) The original Jingjing's money-grubbing mom: "No! This drama doesn't pay enough. You're not allowed to take it. Your going rate is definitely worth more than this!" Fu Jingjing, who wants to try everything, sneaks off to the set: "But this drama is so good! I'd want to be in it even for free..." The director, who was dissatisfied with Fu Jingjing's performance in the original: wearing a proud-dad smile, "Yes, a little more willfulness here. You're already doing great." Humble Jingjing, eager to learn: "Okay! I'll do my best! (? ?_?)?" The Jingjing who was mean to the protagonist in the original is now saying: "Then, here... do you need, need me to teach you?" The protagonist: "Sure! How should I express the feeling of kissing someone on the cheek? Like this?" (He kisses Jingjing.) As more and more adorable Jingjing clips go viral, netizens cry out: "Why is my son so cute?! Does he not have a rebellious phase?" Jingjing, h-he definitely has a rebellious phase! He secretly started dating when the adults weren't looking. His boyfriend, you see, will be his husband one day! --- The Top's Version --- Lu Zhiqiao never imagined he would return overnight to the year he was seven. It was the year everything began. In his previous life, his heart had been black. All his enemies died, while he remained alive, living longer than anyone else. Lu Zhiqiao was waiting outside the audition room. His turn was next, and he was just about to leave when someone tugged at his sleeve. He turned around and saw a child with beautiful eyes saying, "I don't know how to cry. What do I do? Boohoo..." Tears were already welling up in the child's eyes. Lu Zhiqiao: Isn't that Fu Jingjing, the one everyone hates? Later, events began to drift further and further from the path Lu Zhiqiao had planned... "To chance upon you on this planet, and light up this fleeting life, what luck I have." P.S. Raising a child in the early part, romance in the middle. I hope this book brings you comfort~ This book is also called How Did I, a Cannon-Fodder, Become the Male Lead's Online Dating Partner?! --- Upcoming Book in the Author's Collection --- When a Golden Canary Becomes the Male Lead's Online Dating Partner Xie Jiu was a golden canary spirit, a fluffy, pale-yellow little bird who could be held and petted in someone's palm. His favorite things were watching his master play games and perching on his master's shoulder to stare at books he couldn't read. When Xie Jiu woke up again, he discovered he had become a human who looked even more handsome than his former master. He was still called Xie Jiu, but... why had he become a girl? Xie Jiu nervously reached down and felt around, then sighed with relief. Ah, good, good! He was only wearing women's clothes! Servant: "Don't think you're really some young lady. Just wait until Young Master Yan Qi decides he doesn't want you. Then we'll see if you're still some rich young miss. You probably won't even qualify as a golden canary by then!" Xie Jiu OVO: "How could that be? I was born to be a golden canary!" It's just that... why does the name Yan Qi sound so familiar? Xie Jiu was a golden canary who had only just developed self-awareness, but one day he transmigrated into a novel he had once read with his master. He even became a cannon-fodder character who only appeared for three chapters. In the original story, "he" was raised as a golden canary by his fallen family from childhood, pretending to be a sweet, delicate young lady to win over the male lead, Yan Qi, and help the family regain its standing. In the end, the family abandoned him, leaving him to fend for himself. Newly turned human, Xie Jiu's response was: I-I'm just so happy! He could use his hands to play the colorful games his master used to play, talk instead of going "chirp chirp," and eat all kinds of delicious food. He was so excited! So the servants in the house noticed that the timid, frail young lady who never left the house was now staying up past midnight, hammering away at a computer with a weird smile on her face, eating three times as much at every meal as before, and looking healthier than ever. Meanwhile, Xie Jiu had just discovered gaming. On the other side of the screen, he was full of flirtatious banter, constantly hitting on guys, and somehow ended up with a boyfriend. His boyfriend seemed to come from a powerful family, wasn't very old, and, most importantly, his name was Yan Qi. A little scene: Xie Jiu, no longer weak and frail, was sent to school by his father to get an early start on winning Yan Qi over. But no one knew that Yan Qi had seen everything from the start. He ignored Xie Jiu because he already had an online dating partner named "Chirp Chirp Chirp." Knowing the plot, Xie Jiu had already decided to make his own way. He had finally become human and even had an online dating partner. They were going to meet in person someday, so why would he become cannon fodder between the male and female leads? Xie Jiu couldn't wait to stay far away from the male lead! Yan Qi, the male lead, had just finished dealing with the cannon fodder and looked impatient. "Tch, at least he knows his place." Xie Jiu, who had just seen the male lead deal with the cannon fodder, felt his heart pounding. "Good thing I didn't try to hit on the male lead!" Yan Qi, playing a game online with Chirp: "Baby, should we have a baby tonight?" Chirp, who loved clinging to powerful people and never ran out of saucy (lying) banter: "Okay, hubby~ Tonight, a pure college boy is online and ready to keep you company. Muah!" P.S. 1. A shy, hard-working bottom who saves money but is shamelessly flirtatious in private x a childish, foolish, domineering, self-centered top who talks himself into believing he's loved. 2. Includes some online-romance deception. There probably won't be much gaming; it's mainly there to spark romance. Theme: No matter how insignificant you may feel, someone is waiting for you.
