(You can skip the first three chapters without affecting your reading experience.) The little money-tree spirit and the lucky cat got caught sneaking immortality pills, so the God of Wealth punished them by sending them into a period novel to undergo tribulations. [Coming soon: Getting Rich on a Parenting Variety Show with My Top-Tier Star Brother] [Important: The older brother is a cannon-fodder character who gets in the original male lead's way. Sabotaging his own career is his way of saving himself, not something his little sister forces him to do!] Jiang Yi shot to fame as soon as he debuted, winning countless fans and earning a reputation as one of the most gifted young actors of his generation. Unfortunately, that star fell three years ago. On the day his little sister was born, a Taoist priest showed up at their door and said she was a little lucky star. Their family, however, was destined to be cannon fodder, with no good fortune. They could come claim her once they had survived until she turned eighteen or saved up ten billion. To bring their little sister home early, the whole family worked desperately to make money. Jiang Yi made three terrible movies a year and took on several cash-grab endorsements, disappointing countless fans. He turned himself into the universally reviled "Sellout Jiang." Three years later, they had finally amassed a fortune of ten billion and went to the Temple of the God of Wealth to "redeem" their little sister. She adored him and even joined him on a parenting variety show, traveling with him and leaving Jiang Yi deeply moved. As soon as word got out that the infamous Jiang Yi was taking his little sister on a parenting variety show, the show's official account was flooded by haters. The abuse continued until the show's livestream finally began. The haters who had rushed into the stream to start attacking him all fell silent. How could Jiang Yi's little sister be so adorable? She had chubby cheeks, big round eyes, and a sweet, soft voice. She could pick up a huge orange cat weighing more than ten pounds, and she knew how to pet cats. Was this the ultimate installment in the "She Makes You Want a Daughter" series? On the first day of the parenting show's livestream, the host asked the kids what special talents they had. The other children could sing, dance, play instruments, or draw. But when it was Jinju's turn, the mood took a sharp turn: "I can draw wealth charms that bring in lots and lots of money!" The haters: Little girl, superstition is no good! Soon, they discovered that Jinju was telling the truth. She bought a scratch-off ticket and won a thousand yuan with a single scratch. The haters: ...This little girl might actually have something! She randomly bought a lottery ticket. When the numbers were drawn the next day, she won five million yuan. Tens of millions of viewers flooded into the livestream, and the show went viral. The haters went wild: Jiang, you dog, let go of my little sister! Little sister, come help your big brothers and sisters get rich! She casually bought three stocks, and all three hit the daily limit for three days straight. The news went trending on the spot. The haters collectively fell to their knees: Jiang Yi, if you give my little sister back, I'll never hate on you again!!! Jiang Yi became famous again, transforming from "Sellout Jiang" into the person everyone envied most. He even changed his family's fate as cannon fodder. Theme: Be a good kid
