The Overachieving Kid and the Laid-Back Villain

Also known as The Top-Tier Star Zhaozhao and His Tagalong Brother, and I Worked So Hard I Became a First-Tier Star, But My Brother Still Lies Around Like a Lazy Fish As the only toddler Host, Zhaozhao received a mission from the Main System to save a cannon-fodder villain. The target was Lin Yuran, a man with immense ambition who spent his whole life either being compared to the male lead or on his way to being compared to him. In the end, he died of exhaustion at work, full of resentment. But for some reason, the Lin Yuran Zhaozhao met was quite different from the one described by the Main System. He seemed to have lost all his drive, turning into a depressed, lie-flat couch potato. He never clarified the scandals about him and barely promoted his work. He did have fans, but they were all haters. Zhaozhao, who had always dreamed of earning enough points to go to another world and find his grandpa and parents, immediately teared up. Brave Zhaozhao wiped away his tears and transformed into the entertainment industry's most hardworking toddler. He toiled every day, acting cute and obedient in public to help Lin Yuran win everyone's affection. But the audience kept posting in the comments: I want to break into Lin Yuran's house and steal the little one today too. Lin Yuran, who had been reborn and was originally content to lie flat and be mocked, sat bolt upright. "What? Once you're in my house, you're my kid. I'll let you look, but you want to steal him?" Later, even his archenemy from his previous life started hanging around the little one every day. Could he be after my kid too? Lin Yuran's defenses shot to the highest level. This time, I can let you beat me in my career, but the toddler stays with me! Gradually, things became more and more worrying. Netizens who had only talked big online started appearing in person, each with a more impressive background than the last. When Zhaozhao saw them, his eyes lit up. Aren't these the grandpa and parents he's been looking for? Lin Yuran chased after him, shouting, "Zhaozhao, come back!" Reuniting with family was something to celebrate. The only thing that worried Zhaozhao was that everyone kept arguing over him and asking him questions that were hard to answer. Old Master Fu: I was the first to recognize Zhaozhao. He loves Grandpa the most. Old Madam Fu: I was the second to recognize Zhaozhao. He loves Grandma the most. Wang Yunling: I was the third to recognize Zhaozhao. He loves Mom the most. Uncle Fu: I was the fourth to recognize Zhaozhao. He loves Uncle the most. Gu Yue: I was the fifth to recognize Zhaozhao. He loves Uncle the most. Dad Lin Zhen: ...I was the last, and I made the little one cry the first time we met. I know I was wrong! Please Note: 1. This is a heartwarming bedtime story about a toddler who leads by example, works hard at promoting himself, accidentally becomes even more popular than his mission target, and reunites with his family along the way. 2. The setting is fictional. Please don't compare it to real life. There are no real-life inspirations. 3. Lin Yuran devotes his entire life to his career and raising a child. There is no romance. Upcoming Novel: Tangtang was a ten-thousand-year-old spirit egg nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth. By accident, it fell into the imperial palace of Great Yu, landing right in front of the newly enthroned Emperor Lin Jingxuan. Rumor had it that he was born frail and sickly. His older brothers had fought each other so viciously for the throne that he had gotten lucky and taken it, with the support of the regent and the empress, who had no children of her own. The moment Lin Jingxuan opened his eyes, the egg cracked. A furry little paw reached out and pushed at the shell. The little creature that crawled out was snow-white all over and looked like a kitten. The new emperor fell into thought as he coughed: A cat... hatches from an egg? The Empress Dowager forced Lin Jingxuan to marry her nephew as empress. Tangtang stretched out a paw and bravely stood in front of his father, letting out a fierce little "Roar!" The regent barged into his father's bedroom, intending to do something improper. Tangtang bared his tiny fangs and launched himself forward in a fierce little tiger pounce. But the regent grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, choking off his destiny. Poof! Tangtang turned into a tiny toddler, and with tear-filled eyes he appealed to his father: "Daddy! The big bad guy is picking on Tangtang! Save me!" The regent narrowed his eyes and asked in a dangerous tone, "Is he the emperor's biological child?" Lin Jingxuan held his forehead and explained, with little confidence, "What if I told you someone just dumped him on me? Would you believe me?" The regent sneered and said only, "Since Your Majesty can give birth, why don't you give me a child?" Theme: Strive for a lifetime.
