A Wealthy Stepmother Takes Her Villainous Kids on a Parenting Show

[Seeking readers for my ongoing next novel, We Expose Each Other's Dirt on a Variety Show with My Top-Tier Star Younger Brother. Synopsis below.] Yan Jia transmigrated into a book. In her previous life, she mistreated her stepson because she couldn't win the male lead's love. Once the boy came of age, he locked her in a psychiatric hospital, where she died of depression. When Yan Jia transmigrated, her previous self was holding a bamboo stick, ready to discipline the little boy. Looking at the adorable toddler before her, his dark eyes fixed on her in terror, Yan Jia couldn't help thinking: Was life in a wealthy family not hard enough, or was her useless husband's money not enough to spend? Why take it out on a child? Yan Jia promptly dropped to her knees, clutching her head and getting into character in a flash. "Oh my gosh, what am I doing? He's so adorable! How could I bully him? Sob~" The little boy, bracing himself for a storm: ? The housekeeper, halfway through the door to protect him: ?! Yan Jia took the opportunity to go further, swinging the little bamboo stick right at her own arm. There was a sharp crack, and her arm broke :) This time, she really was crying from the pain, but the act had to go on-- "Look, this is heaven's punishment for me. No one needs to pity me. Sob, I might as well die from the pain!" The little boy frowned and hesitated for a few seconds, then pattered over and blew on her with pursed lips. "Blow, blow, pain, go away." Before Yan Jia could say anything nice, the little boy pattered off again. After that, he suddenly noticed that his stepmother seemed to be getting more and more fragile. She was always getting hurt or sick, and only got better when he blew on her, hugged her, and kissed her. How embarrassing. Yan Jia: There's no villain too tough to win over by acting fragile :) * After winning over the little boy, Yan Jia finally got to enjoy a life of being spoiled by him. Yan Jia: "Son, Dad sent me more money! It's great getting paid without having to work!" Ji Jin: "Mom, you can't think that's great. Dad's giving away things he doesn't care about. That's really rude!" Ji Chengyan: "..." That's my hard-earned money! Yan Jia: "Son, let's go shopping and buy lots of ice cream and Ultraman toys!" Ji Jin: "Sure! Dad loves making money so much, let's spend all of it so he can't come home!" Ji Chengyan: "..." What a wonderful son you are! Yan Jia: "Son, come on a variety show with Mom. I want to earn money to support you myself." Ji Jin: "Okay! Once Mom earns some money, we'll leave Dad and let him live alone. It's not like he likes coming home anyway." Ji Chengyan: I am so done with this QAQ * Ji Chengyan had always known that Yan Jia married him because he could help her thrive in the entertainment industry. He, who had always treated work like a partner, only wanted someone to look after his child. Since they were both driven by self-interest, the arrangement was practical and straightforward. One day, a memory suddenly awakened in him: Yan Jia would abuse his son, sending the boy down the wrong path once he grew up. To prevent the tragedy, he had to stop it. Furious, he rushed home, intending to catch Yan Jia in the act. Instead, he found her lounging on the sofa, watching a variety show and eating snacks, laughing so hard she nearly brought the roof down. The woman hugged the child and kissed him, then scooped up some ice cream and fed it to his little mouth. He giggled sweetly. "Mom, you're the best. If you divorce Dad, I'll definitely go with you. And if you meet any impressive single dads at kindergarten, introduce them to you!" The woman pulled the child into her arms and kissed him without holding back. "Mwah~ You're such a good son!" Ji Chengyan froze at this loving scene between mother and son. Was he the real clown here? ***New novel now out: We Expose Each Other's Dirt on a Variety Show with My Top-Tier Star Younger Brother*** Qiao Yi only learned after her death that she was living in a book.

[Happy] [Happy] @Leaker [Red packet link] Just a small token of my appreciation. The hater who just received a red packet worth ten thousand yuan: "..." The heroine, who had tried to use the rumor to force a couple pairing: "?" Qiao Nuo: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ * Qiao Yi originally planned to expose her younger brother's dirt so he couldn't stay in showbiz and would have to retire to take over the family business, letting her go home and enjoy life. But as she kept exposing him, she found that he was even more popular than before, and the family business kept growing. Qiao Yi: "Because of you, our company is going public in the M country, and its market value is over fifty billion. Are you trying to work me to death?" Qiao Nuo: "Who says only men can inherit the family business? You can inherit it just as well. Or your son can take it over. Either way, I don't want it." "My son has his father's business. Don't even think about it!" "Heh, too late. I've already transferred my inheritance rights to the little guy. He can't escape." "..." The haters flipped the table: We're so sick of you siblings showing off your wealth! You don't care about anyone else's feelings at all!!! Seeking readers for my next novel -> My Tycoon Husband Gets Bound to a Spoiling-Wife System <- Office worker Su Yue transmigrated into a pampered female side character in a wealthy CEO novel. The day she arrived was her wedding day. The man stood with a stern expression and said coldly, "I can give you money. Anything else..." Su Yue: "Don't even think about anything else. You're in love with your white moonlight. In three years, I'll divorce you amicably. I promise I'll step aside and won't cling to you." She knew the usual story about a CEO with a white moonlight. She mainly wanted to enjoy three years of wealthy married life, then divorce, split the assets, and find a younger man :) But the man grew furious after hearing that. "Divorce? Believe it or not, I'll give you all my assets. You're not allowed to leave!" Su Yue: "Huh?! If you have something to say, say it. Why are you on your knees?!" * When Su Qin Qin learned she was about to marry the He family head, a man with more money than a country, an incredibly ugly face, and a gloomy personality, she immediately pretended to be ill and gave the opportunity to her half-sister Su Yue. She expected Su Yue to help the family through its crisis, then die at the hands of the old man, leaving her free to take all the family assets. On the day Su Yue returned to her family home, Su Qin Qin and her mother eagerly waited to see her come back alone, looking utterly miserable. But then-- As the door of the luxury car opened, Su Yue was about to swing her legs out when a handsome, distinguished man grabbed her ankle and scolded her sharply. "Why aren't you wearing your handmade lambskin shoes?" The mother and daughter exchanged a glance. Here it comes, that suffocating possessiveness. Their delighted smiles were just about to bloom. But the man continued, "If you walk by yourself, how am I supposed to carry you?" At a family meal, Su Yue picked out all the broccoli she hated and put it on her plate. The man saw and grabbed her hand, scolding her sharply. "Don't you know the rules? Put everything you don't like in my bowl! How many times do I have to tell you before you remember?" Su Yue: "We're in public. Don't you care about your image?" The man scoffed. "Making my wife look good is what gives me face. Got it?" Su Yue nodded hurriedly. "Got it, got it. Eat up." The Su family stood dumbfounded: What happened to him being gloomy, obsessive, and hideously ugly? * He Jingyi had always known that his fiancee was marrying him for his money. He didn't care, because he had more money than he knew what to do with and loved work above all else. Until one day, he was bound to the [Ultimate Wife-Spoiling] System. If he didn't treat his wife well, he would lose everything and die suddenly. What a joke. The He Group has a hundred-year history and controls the economic lifeline of Country K. Spoil my wife or go bankrupt and die? As if I'd believe that! On their wedding day, he met Su Yue for the first time and stated his position: "Apart from money, anything else..." Before he could finish, news that the Gu Group's stock had plunged a thousand points swept through the financial world. When Su Yue finished saying all the words he had intended to say, the stock plunged three thousand points, and the company's market value lost two trillion in three minutes. He Jingyi clutched his heart: I really could die suddenly!!! Theme: Give sincerity, receive sincerity
