The Days of a Whirlwind Marriage to My Ideal Type and Raising a Child

[The entire novel has been carefully revised. Thank you for your support!] Recommended: My friend Zhongyuan Zhulu's completed novel: "I Thought I Had a Villainous Persona" Brooding, split-personality bad-dog gong x pretty darling shou Blurb: Xu Jianian transmigrates into a book as a lovesick young master. The original owner was so utterly captivated by a male star skilled at using cheesy pickup lines that he spent a fortune supporting him and even rejected the marriage his family had arranged for him. When Xu Jianian meets the cheesy, greasy male star: Achoo! Excuse me, your (cheesiness) is suffocating me. Zhou Kai, the male star, who had gone out of his way to wear expensive cologne: ??? When Xu Jianian meets Lin He, the man his family arranged for him, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, tall, handsome, and exactly the kind of suited-up hunk who could pick him up in his arms... I'm in! When are we getting married?! Lin He: But I heard you have someone you like? Xu Jianian denies it: No, I'm just a fan. How does that count as liking someone? Ever heard of falling in love after marriage, darling? * Lin He is cold and abstinent, devoted to his career. Because of his sexual orientation, he refuses to have children, so he adopts a son to raise as his heir. He's strict in his parenting, and his relationship with his son is distant. After Xu Jianian marries into the family, his parents recommend that the couple join a family survival reality show, where they can strengthen their bond as a couple and grow closer to their child. On the show, Lin He is a jack-of-all-trades with top-notch survival skills. Their adopted son, Suisui, is exceptionally clever and handy. As for Xu Jianian... Xu Jianian's job is to play himself, the young master of a wealthy family: all he has to do is think and talk, while his dear husband won't let him lift a finger or get his hands dirty. Viewers: Damn! How did he land such an incredible husband and such an obedient kid?! Later, viewers: Aww, Jianian, thanks for coming down to earth. Sit down and relax. Xu Jianian: ??? * Zhou Kai, who had deliberately kept Xu Jianian waiting for a while, suddenly hears that Xu Jianian has married his (former) sworn enemy and will be taking their son on a family reality show. Zhou Kai: Impossible! They must have a fake marriage! He joins the show as a trainee father, hoping to help Xu Jianian escape the "shackles" of his arranged marriage. Suisui: Dad, Uncle Zhou next door (crossed out) brought flowers for Papa again today. I think you should learn some romance skills, or you might lose Papa. Lin He: Hah! Looks like I didn't try hard enough last night. The next day, Xu Jianian sleeps in. Lin He carries him out to eat, Suisui pulls out his chair and puts a cushion behind him, and Lin He rubs his waist. Viewers: Aaaaaah, I'm dying from how sweet they are! Thanks, Brother Kai, for giving us all these sweet moments! Zhou Kai: ??? One-line summary: I'm spoiled rotten on a family survival reality show A shou who looks pure, aloof, and reserved but is actually bold and forward A gong who looks composed, abstinent, and free of worldly desires but can pick up his spouse at any moment An exceptionally precocious adopted son who worries himself sick over the romance between his two "idiot" dads Please note: 1. Marriage first, love later. One-on-one romance, mutual pampering, and they are the only ones for each other, both physically and emotionally. The shou does not literally do nothing on the show. 2. The balance between romance after marriage and raising a child is about 7:3. 3. The story features a livestreamed reality show and lots of viewer comments. The leads join as ordinary people, and neither plans to enter show business. 4. The shou and the male star have no romantic ambiguity and no intimate contact. The original owner had reasons for secretly liking the male star. The male star gets his comeuppance but fails to win him back. 5. Updates are tentatively scheduled for 9 p.m. every night. If something comes up (like working overtime), I'll post a notice.

He's preparing to lie flat when a child suddenly clings to his leg and calls him Dad. Rumors that he secretly had a child out of wedlock immediately hit the trending topics. Then a man claiming to be the child's father appears, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and an air of refined elegance. He says, "Five million a month. We'll get married under a contract, and you'll be his dad." Zhen Yan: ...May I ask, what will you be doing? Qin Siwei: Making money to support the family. Zhen Yan: Honestly, five million is a little low. But for the child's sake (I'm short on cash, and you're handsome), I'll agree, just this once. Qin Siwei: ... * At first, Qin Siwei only considered a contract marriage for his son's sake, and planned to end it after three years. After living together for a while, Qin Siwei can't help finding fault with his contract spouse: The neckline of his pajamas is too low, his skin is too pale... his waist is too slim, he tosses and turns in his sleep... he smells too good... his eyes are too seductive... Sometimes he suspects the other man is deliberately trying to seduce him. Other times, he thinks it's his own thoughts that are indecent. Zhen Yan finds his contract spouse more and more attractive the longer he looks at that face, and the more he appreciates that body, the more enchanted he becomes. He wants to sleep with him a tiny bit... But the penalty for breaking the contract is too steep... Still, if the other man breaks the contract, then Zhen Yan would come out way ahead, wouldn't he? Later, Qin Siwei breaks the contract. Qin Siwei: The salary in our old agreement was too low. I suggest we make this marriage official and share my assets. Zhen Yan holds back a laugh: When you put it like that... it's really hard to say no. The Chi family parents, who kicked Zhen Yan out: Has Xiaoyan come home today? Chi family's eldest son: No. Xiaoyan just announced his marriage to his rich husband, and they're taking their adopted son on a reality show.
