The Coddled Darling of the Entertainment Industry

[Complete] Tao Beike was spoiled rotten for nineteen years. After coming out, he fell out with his family and, after thinking it over, decided to pursue a career in show business. The young master had never known hardship, and he was an easy crier. His variety-show debut was on a wilderness survival livestream, where he often completed tasks while crying. The other celebrities on the show kept their distance. Everyone speculated that once it ended, the whole internet would hate him, and anyone who got involved with him would be doomed. So when it was time to choose partners, Tao Beike was rejected again and again. His hurt at being disliked immediately welled up as tears, and everyone was certain he was about to cry again. No one would choose him even if he did. But the very next moment, everyone was stunned. Qin Huaicheng, the award-winning actor, had actually called Tao Beike's name! What? What was going on? Why had the actor chosen him? What had they missed? Everyone speculated that it was over. The actor was going to get dragged down with him. But what happened next surprised everyone. They had thought Tao Beike was destined to play the loser, but it turned out he was headed for a comeback! Who can climb a tree faster than anyone else while crying? Who can cry their heart out as they rappel down a cliff, yet be the first to reach the ground? Who can eat fried bugs with their eyes closed, then say they taste good? Tao Beike can. * In the end, when the show was over, nobody saw Tao Beike get hated across the internet. Instead, they saw viewers affectionately rename the show "Tao Beike's Transformation." Everyone else came away exhausted and thinner from the same show, but Tao Beike looked like a completely transformed person, stunning everyone. - I'm terrible at writing blurbs, so please just read the story.

Please understand if it differs from reality. - Coming soon: The Reborn Villainous Cannon Fodder Xu Yan was reborn, then learned that he was actually the villainous cannon fodder in a novel. After entering into a contract marriage with the novel's protagonist, Shen Yucheng, he fell madly in love with him and couldn't stand anyone getting close to him. He would often insult anyone who approached Shen Yucheng until they were trending online. As a result, his reputation was ruined, his career destroyed, and Shen Yucheng ended their contract early. Now, Xu Yan has been reborn exactly one year before their contract is due to end, at the time when he is most obsessed with Shen Yucheng and the internet is attacking him the hardest. Xu Yan has come to his senses. Why waste time loving Shen Yucheng? The protagonist only loves his career and acting, and will never love anyone. The most important thing now is to change his fate as cannon fodder! The roles he once turned down because he was clinging to Shen Yucheng? He'll take them! The variety shows he once passed on because Shen Yucheng wasn't joining? He'll sign up! All the cannon-fodder things he once did because he was crazy about Shen Yucheng? Never again! Xu Yan brings his career back from the dead, but then he faces an even bigger challenge. He used to be completely bewitched by Shen Yucheng. Whenever he saw him, he couldn't move, and was utterly captivated. So now he has to get over Shen Yucheng! His self-rescue goes splendidly, and Xu Yan's star keeps rising. When he sees that a year has passed, he decides it's time to divorce Shen Yucheng. He tosses a contract in front of him. "The time is up. Here's what you wanted." Who could have guessed that Shen Yucheng, who should have agreed without hesitation, would tear up the contract? His passionate, almond-shaped eyes gaze at Xu Yan. "Yanyan, can we please not get divorced?" Xu Yan: "???" What the hell? I finally got over you, and now you're pulling this on me? A seemingly redeemed but secretly scheming shou x a black-bellied gong with a deceptively harmless appearance Coming soon: I Became the Villainous Older Stepbrother After I Transmigrated into a Book Sunny shou x deceptively innocent, black-hearted gong Song Shi transmigrates into a book, becoming the villainous older stepbrother of Xu Chen, the pitiful shou in a tragic romance. In the book, the protagonist is bullied by his stepbrother from childhood, leaving him timid and insecure. Everyone wants to bully him, including the gong, who shows him not a trace of affection. Instead, he subjects Xu Chen to emotional torture, grinding away the last of his dignity until he becomes the gong's possession. And that's how the gong and shou get together. The end. Not long after Song Shi transmigrates into the book, five-year-old Xu Chen and his mother move into the Song family home. Little Xu Chen calls him "big brother" in a soft voice, his dark, bright eyes betraying a hint of fear. That night, the plot he receives is to beat the little one until he cries... Song Shi: "..." He doesn't want to hit little Xu Chen. He'd rather beat the perverted System to death. But that's only a thought. In the end, all he can do is rage helplessly and resort to the next best thing: exploit a loophole in the System. In the original story, under his stepbrother's control, the poor kid never had enough to eat or warm clothes to wear. Malnourished, he was thin and short. But now, under Song Shi's outwardly cruel but secretly caring watch, he grows tall and strong, half a head taller than Song Shi. This makes Song Shi very pleased. At least now he doesn't look like a little white flower everyone can bully. Later, when the gong appears, Song Shi mocks him and tells him to wise up. Not every lousy man is worth a second look. Who could have guessed that the little white flower, who had never dared talk back, would corner him against a wall? Strong and muscular, he smiles with a hint of wickedness. Song Shi raises an eyebrow. "What? Want to fight?" Is he really going to throw hands over some scumbag? Has he lost his mind? You know how vicious I can be! Xu Chen looks at the man glaring at him, his eyes filled with tender amusement. "Big brother, you like me, don't you?" Song Shi is stunned. Has Xu Chen gone crazy from all the bullying? "Big brother, just admit it. I know. I know everything. When I get hurt, you wait until I'm asleep to put medicine on my wounds." Song Shi: "..." That's because I was the one who hit you. "You even save cake for me to eat. No one else in the Song family cares whether I'm hungry. Only you do." Song Shi: "..." That's because I told them not to give you any food. "And when people bully me, you go teach them a lesson and tell them I'm your little brother." Song Shi: "..." I was the one who let them bully you in the first place... Xu Chen pulls Song Shi into a tight embrace. His voice is tender and trembling. "Big brother, knowing you like me makes me so happy I could die." Song Shi: "I... I..." How the hell am I supposed to explain myself? Theme: The protagonist is pampered and cries easily, but becomes resilient and strong through wilderness survival, promoting a positive attitude and the courage to face hardship
