After Slacking Off on a Parenting Variety Show, I Became a Star

Su Huaiming transmigrated into the role of a wealthy family's stepfather. His stepson was a notorious little terror and spoiled brat. They went through five nannies a month, and even the teachers had been driven to tears and out the door. Then he was supposed to join his stepson on a variety show for parents and kids, get tormented by the boy, become the target of online hate and mockery, and be forced to quit showbiz. Su Huaiming: I'm tired. Let's skip straight to the last step and have me quit showbiz. Because of his contract, Su Huaiming was forced to join the variety show with his stepson. Netizens mocked him, eager to see him make a fool of himself. His stepson threw himself on the floor and had a tantrum. Su Huaiming had done all this before, so he sat back, leisurely drinking milk tea and playing on his phone, waiting to see which of them could hold out longer. For the first time, his stepson got up on his own and brushed the dust off his bottom. He never dared do it again. His stepson cried for ice cream and tried to take Su Huaiming's portion too. Su Huaiming simply bought two and devoured them both in front of him. After all, you shouldn't make yourself suffer just because the kid is suffering. From then on, his stepson would ask, “Dad, are you having ice cream? Could I have a bite?” When they were given a task, his stepson was just about to try to get out of it when he saw Su Huaiming already slumped in his chair, mumbling, “I just don't wanna.” Not wanting to lose to the other kids, his stepson could only finish the task through tears and earn praise from the farmer. The father and son became famous in their own unconventional way. “Ha ha ha, yes, I'm an adult, but why should I have to give in to you?” “The way to handle a brat is to be an even bigger brat!” “Su Huaiming is my source of happiness. The Chinese entertainment industry can't do without you!” Fu Xiaoxiao thought his stepdad was helplessly weak, childish, and spoiled. He was so annoying! But… since his stepdad took him to the amusement park, he could let him off a little. He was a man, after all. orz Fu Jingfan came back from a business trip and found his son obedient and sensible, like a completely different person. Fu Xiaoxiao leaned over mysteriously and shared his experience with a grave expression. “Remember to coax him a lot, or he'll make a fuss!” Fu Jingfan thought of the utterly unremarkable Su Huaiming and didn't take him seriously. Later, backstage at a red-carpet event, viewers in the livestream saw the aloof, dignified Fu Jingfan kneel on one knee before Su Huaiming and softly coax him: “Don't be mad. I won't make you exercise tonight…” #Is that the kind of exercise I think it is?# #Are we allowed to hear this for free?# P.S. The kid is a brat at first, but becomes a well-behaved boy later. He's not the top's biological child. Coming soon: "The CEO Raises a Child Alone for Ten Years" The wealthy Ji and Shen families were sworn enemies, yet news broke that they were arranging a marriage alliance. One was a hedonist, the other proud and unruly. They clashed at every turn, but were astonishingly compatible in bed. To make the most of that compatibility, they both threw themselves into the task, until Ji Zhufeng started vomiting frequently and discovered he was pregnant. Ji Zhufeng: I'm a man. I can have a baby too?! The baby's birth softened their relationship. They only argued now and then. On an otherwise ordinary day, the couple fell out over a misunderstanding. In a fit of anger, Ji Zhufeng left home. He was gone for ten years. Standing on an unfamiliar street, he heard that Shen Jinnian, now thirty-five, was going to marry someone else. Realizing that he'd transmigrated ten years into the future, Ji Zhufeng resolved to make a fortune and win custody of the baby. But he couldn't adapt to the times and hit a wall at every turn. Swallowing his frustration, he called Shen Jinnian. “I agree to the divorce, but you have to give me half the money.” There was silence on the other end for half a minute. Then came a low, gentle voice. “We're not getting divorced. It's all yours.” Ji Zhufeng finally returned to the home he remembered, eager to hug his sweet little darling. The chubby little bundle from his memories was gone. A rebellious, edgy teenager looked at him through narrowed eyes. “What a cocky stand-in. You dare come into my house?” “…” Ji Zhufeng smiled. Ji Zhufeng decided to teach him what bloodline dominance meant. The big boy ran around the courtyard like a chased chicken, wailing. He spotted his savior and rushed over, eyes shining. “Dad! This crazy stand-in is trying to kick me out!” Shen Jinnian grabbed his shoulder and made him stand at attention. “Let me introduce you. This is your real dad.” What?! As an older, rebellious edgelord, Ji Zhufeng soon brought his grown son to heel. The boy ran errands for him, served him tea, did whatever he was told, and followed him devotedly. Ji Zhufeng was satisfied with everything, except… After ten years apart, Shen Jinnian, once proud and unruly, had turned into a stiff, fatherly type, all cool and detached, like a Buddha. Ji Zhufeng: Tch, what a poser. No matter how much trouble he caused or how deliberately difficult he was, Shen Jinnian cared for him gently and patiently, never arguing or fighting with him. It felt like living with a stranger. Ji Zhufeng found it boring and wanted to run away from home again. But this time, he didn't get away. The man stared at him ominously, keys dangling from his fingertips, tempting him to come and take them if he wanted them. Ji Zhufeng's heart raced, and a shiver ran through his tailbone like an electric shock. This was great. He'd finally gotten what he was waiting for! For the next three days, anyone who wanted to leave would be a little dog. … In the hazy night, Ji Zhufeng's eyes glistened with tears. Unable to wrap his arms around the man's leg, he rubbed his face against his neck in a bid to appease him. “Woof.” I'm a little dog. Let me out. A man who's pent up for ten years is terrifying. The affair with someone else is a misunderstanding. He stays faithful throughout. Theme: Face life with a sunny outlook and make the most of every day
