Married My Rival on a Whim After Going Broke

The blurb for "The Villainous Dad Takes His Kid on a Parenting Variety Show, and Wins Over the Internet!" is below.

"The Rich Family's Cannon Fodder Makes Money in Showbiz with the Emperor" is ongoing.

Song Sheng had hated Xi Chenghuai since childhood. Whenever he won a basketball trophy or a street-dance championship, Xi Chenghuai, the blockhead who earned a recommendation to university for his grades and found success as an entrepreneur, would steal the spotlight from him.

But when the Song family went bankrupt and was left with debts of tens of billions, Xi Chenghuai was the only one willing to help. His condition was that Song Sheng marry him.

Song Sheng went and got their marriage certificate that very day.

Not long after the wedding, Song Sheng went on a dating reality show.

Who could have guessed he would find his brand-new husband there on the very first day?

Song Sheng: What husband? I don't know him!

Xi Chenghuai had been outstanding since childhood, but he was bad at getting along with people. Song Sheng was the only one who never backed off.

He was always competing with Xi Chenghuai, like a little puppy. If he managed to outdo him by even a little, he'd be happy for half the day.

When the Song family went bankrupt, Song Sheng was caught up in the fallout. The next time Xi Chenghuai saw him, the boy with the bright smile was utterly lost and despondent.

So Xi Chenghuai funded a dating reality show and joined the cast himself.

He'd hoped Song Sheng would shine and that it might bring them closer, but...

On day one, Song Sheng played ball with Guest A, and viewers cried that the tension between them was off the charts.

On day two, Song Sheng went horseback riding with Guest B, and viewers cheered for the power couple.

On day three, jealous Xi Chenghuai held a basketball in one hand and led a horse with the other. "Whatever you like, I can do it too. Can't you pick me, darling?!"

Song Sheng: Trembling. He must be trying to beat me at what I'm good at. Now I'm even more fired up.

Later, the show became a hit, and viewers went wild shipping Song Sheng and Xi Chenghuai.

One day, viewers dug up the fact that Song Sheng was already married!

The ship sank, and the fans were devastated: If you're married, why go on a dating show? What will your husband think?

Song Sheng reposted: Well... @Xi Chenghuai, they're asking what you think, dear. Marriage certificate.jpg

Xi Chenghuai: Repost: Thanks to the dating show.

Director Han: I should be thanking you, my biggest investor.

CP fans: Dating on the company dime? Taking care of your own needs?!

Shi Chen transmigrated into a book.

The original owner of his body was a disgraced young actor, infamous for all kinds of scandals. He'd been in love with Gu Huai for years and used every trick in the book to climb the social ladder. At last, he got pregnant and successfully married into a wealthy family.

But married life wasn't happy. Desperate for her husband's attention, he emotionally manipulated their child and treated the kid like a tool. Unfortunately, six months later, the truth came out. He got divorce papers, lost his husband and child, and walked away with nothing. Netizens tore into him, and in the end, the original owner couldn't take it anymore and jumped off a building!

Shi Chen: What, what, what?

The heir to a hundred-billion-strong fortune? As long as I'm good to him, what's his is mine, right? Why would I jump off a building?!

Because of a contract, Shi Chen was forced to take his kid on a parenting variety show. Netizens dragged out their little stools, eager to watch him embarrass himself on camera.

When everyone went out together, the weather was cold, so the children were bundled up like dumplings. Only Gu An was dressed lightly, and netizens criticized Shi Chen.

An hour later, the kids were drenched in sweat, while Gu An was still cool and fresh.

When everyone had ice cream, Shi Chen ate Gu An's portion, leaving him sitting alone in a corner, watching longingly. Netizens slammed him.

That night, Gu An snuck some ice cream and spent the whole night with an upset stomach. Shi Chen stayed up all night looking after him.

When Gu An got into a fight with a classmate, Shi Chen stood by and watched the drama instead of stepping in to help. The viewers were furious!

Not long afterward, Gu An, sporting two dark circles under his eyes, bragged to Shi Chen that the other kid wouldn't dare bully him again.

The viewers had set out to criticize Shi Chen, but every time they did, they got proven wrong. Eventually, they realized this wasn't child abuse at all. He was a parenting genius! Countless moms and dads became his fans.

"I'm definitely not a Shi Chen fan. I'm a fan of little An'an's dad!"

"Shi Chen, are you sure you won't release a parenting course? I'd pay to watch!"

-

Shi Chen was enjoying life on the parenting show, having completely forgotten about the rich husband he'd supposedly been "in love with for years."

To Gu Huai, Shi Chen had been nothing more than an inconsequential accident, until he happened to see an interview with their son.

A viewer asked, "Sweetie, who do you love more, Dad or Daddy?"

The little boy replied, "I love Dad the most, but Dad doesn't love me the most."

The viewer: "...So, who does your dad love most?"

"My daddy. I'm so sad."

That night, Gu Huai knocked on Shi Chen's door.
