After Appearing on a Parenting Variety Show with My Beautiful, Strong, Tragic Stepson

[Main story complete]

He Miaomiao dies in the apocalypse. When she wakes up, she discovers she has transmigrated into an old-school Mary Sue novel and married Xu Chenhe, a business tycoon who is unconscious after a car accident.

According to the original plot, she will abuse his six-year-old son, Xu Ke, cheat on him, and ultimately meet a tragic end after Xu Chenhe wakes up. She's a textbook troublemaking cannon-fodder character.

As required by the System, He Miaomiao has no choice but to make a comeback with her stepson on the parenting reality show “I'm Going With You.”

Three hundred million viewers flood the livestream that day, all there to curse out the resource darling she used to be and see how badly she'll torment the child.

But why is everything going so differently?

During the house-grabbing challenge, all the other kids are crying and all the other parents are complaining they're tired.

He Miaomiao carries Xu Ke at a sprint, leaves the camera crew in the dust, and snags the huge villa on the mountaintop in seconds.

During the fishing challenge, the other families struggle to catch even one fish.

He Miaomiao tells Xu Ke to wait nearby with the biggest basin in the village, then drains the whole pond in no time.

During the shopping challenge, the other parents rack their brains trying to earn enough money to buy their kids a straw hat for the sun.

He Miaomiao takes two bundles of straw from a local, weaves a hat and a conical rain hat, then leads Xu Ke up the mountain. “Come on, son. Mom's going to find you some bird eggs to eat.”

While unconscious, Xu Chenhe dreams that he marries a woman who abuses Xu Ke and turns him into an antisocial personality, cold and ruthless, always picking fights with others, until he eventually takes his own life.

The first thing he does after waking up is set out to find this woman, divorce her, and get her as far away as possible so he can protect his son.

But when he goes downstairs, the woman is dancing to “Little Lamb, Run.” His supposedly abused son has rosy cheeks and proudly holds up his phone to film her.

“Mom, you're amazing! You dance better than every other parent in the group, a hundred times better than Dad!”

Xu Chenhe: ?

Are you even filial?

Pre-order: “I Went Viral on a Dating Show by Telling Fortunes.” Add it to your collection if you're interested! Here's the blurb:

Xi Nuan transmigrates into a book as a disgraced cannon-fodder female supporting character. She originally joined the season's hit dating show, but kept tripping people up and got branded “the queen of modern-day fake sweetness” by netizens. Instead of becoming famous, she gained countless haters and offended the show's other contestants.

She doesn't want to get cursed out on the show and plans to quit, only to be told that breaking her contract will cost five million.

To make money, she has no choice but to bring out her old livelihood: telling fortunes with a tortoiseshell divination oracle.

During the date-pairing round, the male lead and female lead choose each other and happily get ready to head out.

Xi Nuan: “I can tell that today isn't a good day for you to travel. You might meet with a bloody disaster.”

The first male lead doesn't believe her and insists on going. He ends up getting hit and injuring his leg.

The second female contestant and the third male contestant fail to choose each other and are both miserable.

Xi Nuan: “I can see that your romantic luck lies to the southwest. Why not give it a try?”

The second female contestant explores a new town to the southwest and happens to run into the fourth male contestant, who opted out of the mutual selection. They fall for each other.

The third female contestant is about to give up an exam for the show's sake, since she isn't prepared anyway.

Xi Nuan: “You have good career luck today. If you go, you'll definitely pass.”

As it turns out, the two people ahead of her both give up the exam, and she somehow passes the interview.

And the comments about Xi Nuan change from

[She's talking nonsense. Is she crazy?]

[What a jinx.]

[She's cursing people out of jealousy. How vicious.]

to

[Fairy sister, can you tell me how I'll do on my exams?]

[Fairy sister, can you tell my romantic fortune?]

[Fairy sister, can you help me conceive?]

In less than a month, everyone notices that luxury cars from all kinds of brands are parked outside the dating show's villa, which sits halfway up the mountain.

“Master Xi, could you check my feng shui?”

The other dating show contestants sit at the entrance, looking serious, each holding a small device.

“Take a number and wait your turn.”

Theme: People should have a kind heart.
