Shao Ting has countless fans. A top star with fans in two camps, he is proud and self-possessed, the peak of good looks in the eyes of countless passersby and fans.

Lately, he has had a problem.

His agent threw him onto a dating reality show, where one female guest wanted to use him for publicity. He was fed up with her.

On the day of their date, Shao Ting wore a trendy outfit and enormous sunglasses. His eyes brimmed with unmistakable disdain. "Don't try anything funny. Don't touch even one of my fingers."

The marmot who had just transmigrated: Who are you?

The arrogant top-tier star was sent crashing to the ground.

His dignity was in tatters.

-

Xuela the marmot had eaten her fill and transmigrated into a green-tea villainess who had starved herself to death trying to lose weight.

On the dating show, the villainess stirred up trouble and got involved with every male guest, earning herself a place on the audience's blacklist.

The marmot, already in full slacker mode: Go ahead and curse me. It's not like I'll lose a piece of meat.

And so she continued to lounge around like a lazy fish.

Halfway through filming, the audience was dumbfounded.

Wh-who are all these lovesick puppies?

Who had possessed their sweet, puppy-like boy, their aloof lyricist, and their arrogant top-tier star???!!!

Lick! Dog! Get! Out!!!

Mu Qi became a legend ten years ago, but retired at the height of his fame and went home to inherit a trillion-yuan fortune.

Now the head of the Mu Group, he is the undisputed young master of the family.

No one expected him to make a surprise appearance as the fourth male guest on a dating show, crushing all the other male guests by sheer force of presence.

Just as viewers were wildly speculating about why the big shot had joined the show, they realized that somehow he had become the little green tea's appendage.

The kind you couldn't pry away from her.

Viewers: ...

-

Mu Qi was cool, refined, and untouchable. Only he knew that inside, he had long since become rotten to the core.

Dark, chaotic, and beyond saving.

The little marmot reached out and patted his head, effortlessly healing an old wound that had never healed over the years.

Mu Qi: Wife, come cuddle.

PS:

The information about marmots comes from the internet. The word marmot can refer to two different things; in this story, it is a general term for groundhogs.

Think of the groundhog meme with the screaming "Aaaah~~~~" face.

The word "lick" in the one-line summary means a lovesick puppy!

Some details are made up, so please don't nitpick.

A goofy, sweet story.

Here's the blurb for my upcoming story, Rich Family Baby, Mom's Variety Show Adventure~~~ Come take a look, everyone!

The entire entertainment industry despises Su Qingqing, but they all want to be her.

She's a notorious, much-maligned actress in the industry, with a terrible reputation, yet she gets to enjoy endorsements from all the top luxury brands. When her career in the industry reaches its end, she simply turns around and becomes the wife of an heir to one of the richest families.

Netizens: Heh, just because Su Qingqing looks glamorous on the outside doesn't mean she's not sobbing her eyes out in private.

Su Qingqing and her husband's stepson join a new reality show. Netizens rush into the livestream, eager to see Su Qingqing embarrass herself, but what they see is

The director announces a task to loosen the soil.

The six-year-old stepson, Huo Fei, works himself to exhaustion, drenched in sweat. Su Qingqing stands in the shade in a pretty little dress, without a bead of sweat.

They are assigned the worst thatched cottage. Su Qingqing walks in and flops onto the only bed. Huo Fei falls silent for a moment, picks up a rag, and starts cleaning.

Su Qingqing's daily routine on the show: sleeping, resting, and eating.

Netizens: Has she already given up on herself?

They are about to grab their keyboards and keep insulting her, when they see Huo Fei smooth out the bed Su Qingqing messed up until not a single wrinkle remains.

Su Qingqing pats her darling boy on the head and praises him: "Good boy, you did great."

Huo Fei grins and works even harder.

Netizens: Damn it, give us a dozen kids like him!

-

When Mr. Huo returns from a business trip, he discovers that his place in the family has plummeted.

Huo Fei, who used to follow him everywhere, has now become Su Qingqing's little shadow.

When he sees his father, Huo Fei snorts, turns his back, and clutches his milk as he eagerly goes to flatter Su Qingqing, completely ignoring his travel-weary dad.

Huo Feichen laughs in exasperation: ...

Well done.

Notes:

1. Stepmother fiction and mistaken identities between a real and fake heiress, so read according to your tastes.

2. The son is not the male lead's biological child, but they are related by blood.

3. The male lead is not just a background character.

4. The female lead is the most beautiful. No objections accepted.

5. A cheerful, goofy comedy. Please don't nitpick; just enjoy the fun. The author's heart is fragile, sob.

Theme: An unconventional life, and the search for one's true self
