Tong Xin woke up to the realization that he was the vicious scum top in the feel-good novel Reborn: Conquering the Entertainment Industry. He pursued the protagonist bottom, bullied the protagonist top, and was ultimately dealt with by the couple, ending up with a broken leg and locked away in a mental hospital. His parents even went bankrupt because of him.
Tong Xin: "..." What was I even doing all that for?
As a great villain "with nothing but a pretty face and all his brains supplied by his parents," Tong Xin decisively displayed the domineering nature expected of a villain. He immediately ordered ten personal space heaters for the affection-starved protagonist top, Gu Jianan. "Little brother, your big brother is here to keep you warm."
Looking at the mountain of heaters piled on his desk, Gu Jianan's hand froze over the documents. He raised his eyes and gave the beaming Tong Xin a cool glance. "At work, call me President Gu. And..."
"Come have dinner tonight at your biological parents' house." Tong Xin wasn't fazed at all by the icy expression of the domineering CEO, and comforted him considerately. "Dear little brother, we were just switched at birth. There's no grudge between us! Look at it this way: you get another pair of loving parents, plus a top-tier star for an older brother! You're getting the beloved-by-everyone treatment."
Gu Jianan's hand paused as he looked at the date on the document, his expression growing even more severe.
Later, Tong Xin glanced down at his increasingly round belly, then at Gu Jianan, who was abusing his position for personal gain.
Gu Jianan smiled warmly, lifted Tong Xin, who was busy acting, onto the desk, and bent down to listen to the baby's movements. "Dear big brother, we're having another little one."
"At work, call me Star Tong." Tong Xin was furious. "I've got real clout now. I can take your idols and set up on my own!"
Gu Jianan: "..."
As the heir to the top-tier Gu family, Gu Jianan was practically a robot, extremely disciplined. But even he, who was sure he would never lose control, found that fate had played three tricks on him.
The first: He had been switched at birth.
The second: He fell in love with Tong Xin. The other man was a playboy, and not even a dedicated one. He was a fussy little troublemaker who was nowhere near Gu Jianan's ideal type.
The third: Tong Xin turned out to be the real young master of the Gu family.
Gu Jianan kept his emotions in check, only for fate to spring a fourth joke on him out of the blue: "Since you two have such a connection, and both boys who were switched at birth are gay, you might as well get married."
Gu Jianan: "..."
Keeping his composure, Gu Jianan grabbed Tong Xin, who kept calling him little brother, kicked him off the Tong family household register, and promptly changed his own surname. After a string of swift, decisive moves, Gu Jianan calmly comforted Tong Xin (Gu Jiaxin): "Look at it this way: hugging your big brother is pretty warm."
Coming next: After Transmigrating as a Tea-Green Villain, I Became Famous by Flaunting My Wealth
As the rich, laid-back son of a nouveau riche family, Zhang Yangyang's favorite pastime was wearing a thick gold chain and hiring the kids from the orphanage to go collect rent.
His days were extravagant, wasteful, and full of purpose.
But one day, when he went to clock in at the orphanage, an earthquake struck, and he transmigrated into the novel After Dumping the Scum Top, the Stand-In Becomes Famous. He became Zhang Yangyang, a cannon fodder who pursued the genuine top, Gu Yu.
He had a trace of tea-green charm and dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family, but his methods were painfully crude. His purpose was to get face-slapped by the protagonist bottom, Wen Jinyu, improve Gu Yu's ability to spot fake sweethearts, and win the favor of his wealthy mother-in-law.
A textbook tool character.
In the end, the Zhang family went bankrupt, and Zhang Yangyang had to make a living delivering food. His fate was miserable.
Zhang Yangyang: "Isn't collecting rent great?"
Just as he was about to get back to his old business, the whole protagonist crew unexpectedly showed up.
The backup tops glared at him. "How can you be so selfish? You and Xiaoyu are partners on Treasure Hunt Together! How is he supposed to finish the mission alone if you leave?"
The genuine top said expressionlessly, "Even if you're just here to have fun, you have to finish filming the movie before you go."
Furious, Zhang Yangyang had nine little gold statuettes made and made an official announcement: "Thank you to all the chairmen for founding the Yangyang Online Drama Awards. The first Best Actor award goes to Zhang Yangyang, for his performance as a devoted tea-green in a melodramatic romance about love and society, which has earned unanimous praise across the internet. Along with the award, we're giving away nine statuettes to fans who got too invested in the role. Here's a divorce agreement. Congratulations in advance on getting your partner stolen, because true love always wins."
The haters across the internet: "???"
Gu Yu V: I'm kneeling on a solid-gold washboard. Please believe I'm innocent, darling. Acting and you are the two most important things in my life [hug].
The reborn protagonist bottom watched as Chairman Qin of Sunshine Pictures, Chairman Bai of A Ray of Sunshine, a world-famous director, a renowned acting professor, and an award-winning screenwriter all chimed in with support, while Gu Yu was drowned out among the bigwigs. He bared his teeth in fury.
Zhang Yangyang looked on proudly.

Treasure hunt segment
The reborn Wen Jinyu spoke eloquently, examining the painting's composition, brushwork, spirit, and interplay, and tracing its history, provenance, and origins to prove it was a fake. Then he smiled at Zhang Yangyang. "I only learned this recently and am repeating what I was taught. Your family has a long artistic heritage, Yangyang. You must know more about it than I do, right?"
The male supporting character top scoffed. "You're just a nouveau riche. Let's hear how you plan to prove whether it's real or fake."
The haters spammed the comments: "Face-slapping that tea-green, so satisfying."
Nouveau riche Zhang Yangyang smiled faintly. "Everyone knows my family is nouveau riche. We like buying paintings, calligraphy, and antiques to make ourselves look respectable. So, as it happens, my dad bought the genuine painting and donated it to a museum. Look it up online. The details are all there."
Everyone stared in a daze at the three characters, Zhang Yangyang, listed as the donor on the museum's website, their faces turning green with rage.
"Oh, my dad loves me, so he donated it in my name." Zhang Yangyang calmly twisted the knife. "How about we prove its authenticity by looking at who owns it?"

Although Tong Xin really wanted to show off her baby, as "Our Family" became a hit and was broadcast overseas, the little chubby baby attracted countless attention. Taking into account various factors, after all, there were too many elders who had babies, so Tong Xin reluctantly restrained Xuan'er's hand. But I never expected that Bao Baobao would become a hot search topic again. Speaking of which, the reason has something to do with the excellent grandfather Gu Min. The baby loves to eat sweets, and the whole family has tried their best, but they still can't change this bad habit. So Grandpa Gu, a busy man, took the baby on the plane and went to the company, letting the baby watch him work for a whole day. Then, Grandpa Gu was sold badly, saying that he could only afford one candy after working for one day. Therefore, the filial baby firmly believed in this and ate one candy every day according to the regulations. Keren is getting older and starting to get a kindergarten diploma! In this kindergarten, children sit in rows and divide the fruits, and there will be candies among them. The children took a quick look in their pockets and found candies of various flavors. As a result, the baby's world view collapsed. "You guys, big liars!" Baobao stepped on the office chair, glanced at everyone sitting there, and opened his small schoolbag with fierceness. He took out a handful of candies and stared at them one by one. Then he continued to dig out and continue to stare. After all the candies in his little school bag were taken out, the baby raised his finger to point to the pile of candies in front of him, puffing out his cheeks and complaining: "Look, the classmates gave it to me, and the teacher rewarded me!" "It's not expensive!" "Tangtang is not expensive, you lied to me!" The baby's eyes were filled with tears and he choked with sobs: "Lie to me!" Tong Xin looked at the pile of candies across from him in horror and said, "How many candies do you have in a day?" "I've been saving up for a week!" Speaking of this, Bao Bao snorted coldly, imitating his father's serious and cold expression, and spoke word by word, "After detailed investigation, there is evidence!" Although I tried my best to speak in a low voice, my voice couldn't keep up, especially when I mentioned the word "last evidence", my voice broke with excitement. So Situ Qin, who regarded himself as the best uncle, immediately felt distressed, "Baby is too smart to be angry. My uncle will reward you with a candy factory, okay?" "Not good!" Bao Bao held his arms and continued to sweep across the audience, accusing fiercely and eloquently: "We are all in the same category! You are all the same!" The child's father was so beautiful when he heard these words that he lowered his voice and praised: "Baby, this is a good choice of words!" "Don't think that praising me can make up for the shadow you have caused on my weak mentality!" When other people present heard this, they glanced sideways at Tong Xin. I learned this from my biological father, Tong Xin. It's all over the place! Tong Xin looked at everyone's eyes and got angry: "Why am I the one who's bad? The baby has this investigative ability. It's obvious that I took him to watch "Black Cat Sheriff", "Powerpuff Girls", and "Duck Detective"!" "Yes, it's all because of your good teaching." Gu Jianan praised Tong Xin without hesitation, looked at the baby standing upright opposite, and said softly: "But the baby was not good at all when he cried and made a fuss over the candy. He also had a toothache. Have you forgotten?" "Forgot!" Baobao responded unceremoniously: "We have to focus on the future, not the past!" "Baby, it's very bad for you to take words out of context like this." Gu Jianan rarely felt pain in his feet. In order to have more parent-child time, he would take his baby to the company if he was free. Of course, we will occasionally hold small meetings at home. But the baby didn't learn this "good" thing, but he talked about looking forward to the future very smoothly. It's a real-life version of "shooting yourself in the foot"! The baby blinked when he heard this, and originally wanted to open his mouth to ask what "quoting out of context" meant, but he caught sight of his beloved candy from the corner of his eye, and still resisted eating the candy that was used as evidence. So the baby gritted his teeth in frustration, puffed up his chest, and continued to accuse: "You have to compensate me, compensate for my hurt heart!" "Ah!" The baby raised his voice and clasped his chest with his backhand as he spoke, feeling extremely aggrieved: "My heart!" Everyone: "…" Gu Min glanced sideways at the couple: "Don't watch TV series in the living room from now on. Look at the impact on the baby. The position of the heart is covered in the wrong place!" "No, how to solve this problem?" The boy's father whispered: "He discovered it by himself. We should praise him for this, right?" "Express..." Before Gu Min could finish a word of praise, he heard the ringtone of a child's cell phone opposite. The baby stopped crying when he heard the ringing, and said angrily, "Just wait, the person who makes the decision for me is here!" Everyone looked at each other, even the most mysterious Shangguan Grandma, and everyone from the Gu family and Situ family who were able to kill instantly in this generation were present. So, they were quite curious and listened attentively. But unfortunately, the quality of the mobile phone was too good, and the baby had no other words except "um hmm hmm," so it was impossible to guess who the person invited. On the other side, Baobao hung up the phone and said in a high-spirited voice, "The reporters from "1818 GoldenEye" are here. Let's ask them to comment!" "What is this?" Gu Min was stunned. "This people's livelihood news column is very short-sighted." The boy's father explained after hearing this, "It's quite famous. Baby, how do you know?" The baby was proud, raised his finger and pointed at the pair of third uncle and uncle, and proudly said: "Third uncle, please ask uncle Yan to see them every day to gain experience!" "So?" "There are a lot of kids playing games inside, so I'm looking for them." The baby's logic was clear, and his voice was a little nervous. He clenched his fists and cheered himself up, saying, "I can play games, and I can eat candies too!" At this moment, the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in, whispering that the media had been invited. Gu Min looked at the fat grandson, who was red-eyed and groaning, but still well prepared. He knocked on the table with his fingers and thought for a moment, "Okay! Then we'll let your trustworthy journalist uncle make the decision." Hearing this, the baby breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down from the office chair with a smile, and as soon as he stood firmly, he hurried to hold the housekeeper's hand: "Grandpa housekeeper, open the door quickly!" Looking at the baby who jumped down easily and still stood firm, the third uncle commented: "This is a good baby! Train more and use force." "You still have the nerve to say that?" Gu Min glanced sideways at his third uncle: "Now that I have grown stronger, I know that a third party has been involved. What will I do in the future? Fortunately, he didn't call 110, otherwise you would have made headlines! If I don't cheat my father, I will cheat your uncle!" My uncle didn't care about this, and he held his chin and thought about how to formulate a scientific training plan for the baby. In the next ten years, the third uncle used practical actions to prove what action and execution are. And take advantage of every opportunity! After the Candy Battle was recorded, Gu Min originally wanted to interfere and not broadcast it outside. But the third uncle tried his best to fight for it, so it was still broadcast outside. Once it was broadcast, fans burst into laughter, and parents laughed and cried and began to reflect on themselves. They also told about their battles with their children's candies and toys. In the end, they learned from each other and ended perfectly. However, Bao Baobao's measures such as collecting evidence and looking for third-party foreign aid have given people a label of wit. As soon as Bao Bao became smart, some people naturally began to hope for him, hoping that he could take over Gu Min's class, and some also started to fear the Gu family because of this. Of course, these worries are still very far away for the baby, but they are a good opportunity for the third uncle, with various training plans formulated by Amway himself! "You may not be a military king, but you still need to keep fit, right?" "Gu Min!" "Brother-in-law, think about it carefully." Gu Min was troubled, and the most important thing was that the baby was quite happy to do it, carrying six pounds and exercising according to the plan every day, so he sighed slowly and agreed. Gu Min nodded, and the other parents who had already been persuaded happily watched the baby exercise. The third uncle was overwhelmed by the beauty. Time passed quickly. Ten years later, the third uncle was so angry that he wanted to kill anyone. He directly complained: "The seedlings I cultivated were raised since childhood. I was thinking about people going to the navy and flying warships. What do you mean by the sports department about a good seedling with all-round development of morality, intelligence, body and beauty? After coaxing people to participate in track and field, they also go swimming?!" The Minister of Sports heard the ceramic teacup on his desk buzzing from his third uncle's shock. He took two steps back and said sarcastically: "Calm down your anger, calm down, this little boy..." "No, his surname is not Tong?" The minister said weakly: "Tong Yiyi?" "My first name is Gu Sichen, my nickname is Tong Yiyi." The third uncle said, "I'm not eighteen yet, so I use my nickname. Tell me about you, you fool people with limited capacity for civil conduct, do you understand?" Tong Yiyi participated in a 1,000-meter long-distance race at school, and was attracted by the coach, who directly tricked her into participating in the competition. By comparison, this is going to be a reserve for the Olympic Games. "But... But his parents signed it." "Don't you know my sister's name?" The third uncle choked angrily: "We teamed up to hide it from me, right?" The minister shook his head honestly. He really doesn't know! The names of the Situ family all share the same generation and radical. Who would have known that the ordinary Situ Nan was actually the maiden name of the legendary Mrs. Gu? Looking at the minister with a sincere face, the third uncle calmly asked, "Gu Min, do you want your baby to develop in the sports world to counter his original desire to join the army?" "It's different from serving the country." Gu Min said calmly, "Facts have proved that you have to seize the opportunity that comes from heaven." "But opportunities are for those who are prepared! It is my plan to prepare him for more than ten years of training!" "Uncle is not angry." Bao Bao patted his third uncle on the shoulder: "Wait for me to play for a few years... No, I will learn from you for a few years, and then I will hang out with you, really!" "Think about it, if I practice long-distance running, professional, Scud, or flying. If something happens in the future, I will run faster than others!" "If I learn to swim again, if I encounter danger, I can still jump into the sea to survive." The more he talked about the baby, the more excited he became, and he took the third uncle's arm and swung it vigorously: "Third uncle, can you work harder and let the swimming team push me away? I like swimming more than running!" "They say I was born to be good at dog pawing!" The third uncle had no emotion: "How great do you think you are? Are you so talented? You are so picky! Why don't you want to join the football team?" "If you let the football team compete for you, my uncle will help you do some activities!" The baby's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Okay!" When he was little, he loved playing ball with his uncle Liu Jin!
How good! Hope they are always happy! I hope this world will not be dominated by plots and have lives stolen. I hope everyone who has put in their sweat will be rewarded. I hope we will get better and better!
Hahahahaha! Third uncle's old house is really on fire!
Hahahahahaha! An old cow with a high moral bottom line is really entangled in eating young grass. It's beautiful!
