Lu Yang is a cannon-fodder female supporting character in an angsty romance. To stop her childhood friend, the male lead, from turning evil, she decides to take him away from his dysfunctional family when he is still a child and raise him on her own.
A minor celebrity with a pile of scandals, she joins a livestream parenting show for the first time to earn money for formula.
While the other guests do all they can to keep viewers watching, Lu Yang is laid-back and barely makes an effort.
Viewers: If that kid weren't so cute, who would watch you? You're so unprofessional on this show. Hurry up and get eliminated.
A few episodes later:
Viewers: Ahhh, sis is so beautiful, I love her! This is the perfect thing to watch while eating. If she's not on this show, I'm not watching!!
Later, netizens dig up the top four accounts on Lu Yang's livestream tipping leaderboard. Three of them belong to men who have been romantically linked to Lu Yang.
Netizens believe the child is Lu Yang's biological son, and the three big shots once rumored to be involved with her become suspects. The men make no effort to avoid suspicion. Whenever Lu Yang livestreams, they shower her with money, and the competition for the top four spots is fierce.
Lu Yang trembles: I've earned enough for the kid's formula. Could you big shots please stop sending money? QAQ
Top tipper Chi Ruosen: What's wrong with me sending money to my nephew?
Netizens: So those three men rumored to be involved with Lu Yang aren't the kid's biological fathers?! Then they just gave all that money to help someone else raise a child?! We feel for them for thirty seconds.
The three big shots sending money: I just like giving her money to raise the kid. What business is it of yours!
Looking at the ever-growing balance in her bank account, Lu Yang decides to quit livestreaming and focus on raising the child.
Top tipper Chi Ruosen finds her. "I'm here to take my nephew home."
Lu Yang is reluctant to part with him. "Could we work something out? I want to stay with the child."
Chi Ruosen: "Sure. Be my wife."
Lu Yang: "..."
Coming next: My Lazy, Gossipy Days on a Variety Show
After her former boyfriend, an award-winning actor, marries his rich and beautiful girlfriend, Xu Yingshu is mocked across the internet. She returns to her hometown to clear her head, donates money to repair a dilapidated Taoist temple for some good karma, and brings home a poor Taoist priest who says he wants to repay her kindness.
Xu Yingshu gets the priest to pretend to be her boyfriend on a variety show. The other guests mock her new beau for having no money, no career, and no education. Apart from his handsome face, he's useless.
Xie Ting's gaze sweeps across the guests showing off their affection.
"You don't know that your boyfriend became a producer just to sleep with the leading actress in his new drama."
"Your husband is using the money you earn to keep two mistresses."
"Your fiance had a child with his first love before he ever met you."
Everyone: "!!!"
Ever since Xu Yingshu exposed the guests on the show, no director has dared to hire her, and the bigwigs in the industry have tacitly agreed to blacklist her, lest she reveal any more dirt.
Xu Yingshu complains, "Taoist priest, didn't you say you could make my career take off?"
Xie Ting slowly takes out a box. "This is compensation for you. If you don't think it's enough, I'll think of something else."
Xu Yingshu takes the property deeds out of the box: a courtyard house in the capital worth hundreds of millions, a sea-view apartment in Jiangcheng that's over three hundred square meters, and an estate in Haishi big enough for a soccer team...
Xu Yingshu decides that what matters in life is being happy.
