The Kid I Raised Is Actually a CEO! [Parenting Variety Show]

When she woke up, Yu Qiushuang had transmigrated into a book, becoming a notoriously hated, third-tier actress in the entertainment industry who shared her name.

After ten years in show business, her acting was still solidly bottom-tier. She had relied on throwing money and resources at projects just to stay in the public eye. She had a crush on the actor male lead, bullied the new female lead by throwing her weight around, and pretended to be an innocent little flower, only to get slapped in the face again and again.

Once she had calmed down, Yu Qiushuang decided to leave the entertainment industry when her contract ended in six months.

She was rich and beautiful. Wouldn't it be better to enjoy life as a young lady?

The only thing she still had to do during her contract was take part in a charity variety show about raising children, which the original owner had agreed to a few days earlier.

When Yu Qiushuang's manager announced on Weibo that this would be the last time she appeared as an entertainer, Weibo exploded with posts:

#YuQiushuangIsPlayingTheVictimAgainAndAgain#

#YuQiushuangGetOutOfShowBusinessAlready#

But this time, everyone realized that Yu Qiushuang really did seem different.

While the other guests carefully chose well-behaved, cute, or clever child stars and second-generation celebrities,

Yu Qiushuang went to an orphanage and casually pointed at a boy hiding in the corner, scowling and looking difficult to get along with.

While the other guests cuddled up to the children to build an image of being beautiful and kind,

Yu Qiushuang and the boy each wore sunglasses, swaggering around and barely speaking unless they had to.

While the other guests hugged the children and recounted sad stories, crying as they kept an eye on the cameras,

Yu Qiushuang and the boy discussed Russell's paradox and the paradox of Achilles and the tortoise.

Yu Qiushuang: Tsk, this kid's not bad.

At first, everyone mocked Yu Qiushuang for finally dropping the act. But gradually, they realized...

This pair seemed more interesting than everyone else's staged performances.

Later, the trending topic #GetToKnowYuQiushuangAgain+ComeBack# shot to the top of the charts. She shook her head and gave the camera one last smile.

The next day, Yu Qiushuang married Xie Jiangnian, the most mysterious and low-profile president of Huayu Entertainment.

The whole internet was in an uproar. No one knew how the two of them had gotten together.

-

After a car accident, Xie Jiangnian inexplicably turned back into a five- or six-year-old boy. With no identification, he was placed in an orphanage.

Before he could figure out what had happened, Yu Qiushuang arrived to choose a child for her variety show and picked him.

He scowled, hoping to make the woman back off, but she picked him up without a care.

"I've chosen him."

Later, the rarely-cooks President Xie stood on a little stool, washed his hands, and made soup. Carrying breakfast, he knocked on Yu Qiushuang's door, looking awkward.

"Hey, it's time for breakfast."

Reader's guide: The female lead has no romantic feelings for the male lead in his child form. Their relationship will develop over time, and the romance starts a little slowly. Bows~

Coming soon: The Male Leads of the Campus Novels All Want to Win Me Over

Shi Yao had terrible luck and transmigrated into an old-school campus romance novel as cannon fodder.

As a scheming green tea who appeared only twice, she came from a poor family but had a pretty face and hoped to use it to land a rich husband.

But her intentions were seen through in her very first scene. Supporting Character No. N used her as an example to warn her to stay away from the rich young masters A, B, C, and D.

The System told Shi Yao: "If you win over these four men, you can change your fate."

Looking at the heroine, whose life had become a mess because of her connections to A, B, C, and D, Shi Yao: ...

Men can't be relied on. Even a sow could climb a tree.

Knowledge is what changes your fate.

Determined to get into Qingbei, Shi Yao studied with a burning passion, shut out all distractions, and focused on math problems.

But somehow, something seemed to have gone wrong.

Unable to solve the final math problem, Shi Yao pondered hard.

A long-fingered hand took the pen from hers. A, who was usually aloof and kept his distance from people, spoke calmly:

"What don't you understand?"

After school on a freezing day, Shi Yao waited for the bus, shivering.

A luxury car pulled up in front of her. B, who everyone at school knew lived in the wealthy eastern district, smiled warmly:

"You live in the western district too, right? It's on my way. I'll give you a ride."

With no athletic ability whatsoever, Shi Yao worked hard at basketball to earn credits.

C, who had just won MVP in the league, wiped the sweat from his forehead, handed her a bottle of water, and offered:

"Want me to practice with you?"

At the classic campus dance, Shi Yao hid in a corner memorizing vocabulary.

D crossed the room through a sea of envious looks to find her, his expression noble and arrogant:

"Hey, dance the first song with me."

*

Shi Yao: +?

Why does every one of them seem to have something seriously wrong with him?

Just as she began to wonder what had gone wrong, she accidentally heard D's furious voice from around the corner:

Damn it! Why is her affection rating toward me still zero?!

Blurb:

1.

Xie Qiao fell for that guy at first sight.

Cool, clean, distant.

A white T-shirt with a pair of sneakers, tousled black hair, sharp features, and a cool expression.

Exactly her type.

She deliberately went over and let him spill coffee on her white dress.

Seeing him frown apologetically, she smiled sweetly and got his WeChat, something no one else had managed to do.

She hadn't expected the puppy she'd hooked to be so unexpectedly innocent. After they slept together, he hooked a finger around hers and, after careful consideration, promised to take responsibility.

Xie Qiao calmly pulled her hand away.

2.

Their relationship ended on a rainy day.

The shabby, long-neglected apartment building clashed with the refined young master's air. Li Ye stood downstairs, soaked and chilled to the bone.

In a hoarse voice, he spoke humbly:

"Xie Qiao, I saw through your intentions the first time we met, but..."

"Can we make up? Please?"

Xie Qiao paused on the stairs, but still didn't turn around.

3.

Xie Qiao thought they would never see each other again.

But, by chance, they met again in a company conference room.

Pointing at the man across the room, dressed in a suit and exuding an austere, restrained air, her boss introduced him ingratiatingly with a smile: "This is one of our biggest clients, President Li."

A year later, Li Ye had shed his youthful awkwardness. In a sharp black suit, with his shirt collar buttoned neatly to the very top, he leaned back at ease and glanced at her by the door.

Like a wolf coolly sizing up its prey, he seemed utterly in control.

His expression indifferent, he shook the hand she offered as if nothing had ever happened.

Yet one night, as he drove her home, he leaned against the black luxury car behind him, loosened his tie, and asked through the haze of smoke curling around his fingers:

"Stay with me."

"This time, let's not talk about love. How about it?"

*

Xie Qiao never imagined Li Ye would lower himself for her again and again, just as she could never have imagined that their "chance" reunion had been carefully planned by Li Ye for a long time.

And Li Ye didn't know that he was the first flower to bloom in Xie Qiao's barren heart.

"For you, a thousand times over."
