(Please add my upcoming stories next door to your favorites: My Fussy Sister and Her Younger Brother Go on a Variety Show, After Becoming a Rich Heiress, I Lie Flat, and I Created a Legend with the God of Cooking System!) After completing her 999th quick transmigration mission perfectly, Ran Chuchu gets the chance to choose her ideal retirement world. Ran Chuchu imagines a life of taking it easy: rich, left alone, and no kids to raise. Then she transmigrates into a power fantasy novel and becomes the male lead's second wife. The novel tells the story of business tycoon Su Yize, who rises from nothing. Born into humble circumstances, he builds his fortune from scratch. Thanks to his astonishing business acumen and after countless hardships, he finally creates his own business empire and becomes a major tycoon. The Su Yize in the book is a tireless work machine, as if every moment spent not working is a waste of life. He barely looks after his own son, let alone his second wife. Ran Chuchu: Rich, left alone. Check. Wait, he barely looks after his son? Does that mean she'll have to raise the kid? On closer inspection, the son is sixteen. He's old enough to have hands, feet, and a mouth. He can work, walk, and talk. He can take care of her instead. From then on, Ran Chuchu lives a life of luxurious leisure, with a stepson to do the heavy lifting. * Su Yu has never been able to stand his stepmother. She's old-fashioned and set in her ways. As long as she's around, everyone in the villa has to turn off the lights and go to bed by ten. There can't be any puffed snacks or fizzy drinks in the house, and all three meals have to be light and healthy. Su Yu, in the prime of his youth, a fan of all kinds of iced drinks and someone who can't live without spicy food, is forced to live like an old man. How could he possibly accept all these rules? But he doesn't want to openly defy her, so he just does the things she dislikes behind her back. One day, Ran Chuchu catches Su Yu secretly eating spicy strips. Su Yu closes his eyes. Here we go, she's going to lecture me again. But Ran Chuchu gives him a look of disbelief. "I can't believe you'd eat those without sharing." Su Yu: ? Then his stepmother asks, "Got any more? Share some with me." Su Yu: ?? * Later, a travel-and-family variety show comes knocking. Ran Chuchu hears that she can have fun for free and make money too. Great! She immediately drags her stepson onto the show. Only after joining does Ran Chuchu realize that it's not just a vacation. They have to do tasks too. But no matter. She knows how to slack off ^V^ After coming in last three tasks in a row, her fiercely competitive son can't take it anymore. "Can you put in a little effort?! We've been at the bottom three times!" Ran Chuchu: "Oh, you want to win? You should've said so earlier." Su Yu: ? After that, he sees his lazy stepmother suddenly turn into a powerhouse. She's an expert at everything from horseback riding to archery, gets first place in every task with him, and even teaches him advanced math. She's practically omnipotent. Netizen 1: !! Let me be the first to call her Mom! Netizen 2: You're all calling her Mom? I'll do something different: look this way, honey!!! @Su Yize, go find yourself another wife. Su Yize: ? Su Yu is also deeply impressed by his stepmother's abilities. From then on, whatever she says is right. Ran Chuchu: "That handsome guy is really good-looking." Su Yu looks over and agrees. "He really is." Wait, his dad is still here! Then he thinks of his father, who is hardly ever home. Never mind, maybe his dad isn't all that important. It wouldn't be so bad to get a different one. Later, Su Yu becomes the top scorer on the national college entrance exam. During an interview, he repeats the interviewer's question: "Your parents must have contributed a lot to your success, right?" He furrows his brow and immediately clarifies. "No, don't get the wrong idea. Everything I've achieved is thanks to my mom. My dad had nothing to do with it." Su Yize: "..." * Reader's Guide: 1. !!! Important !!! Neither the male nor female lead is a virgin!! 2. Some locations in the story are based on real places and others are fictional. Please don't overanalyze the details. Synopsis for My Fussy Sister and Her Younger Brother Go on a Variety Show: When Xi Yingqiao wakes up, she discovers she's a cannon-fodder female character in a book. She and her younger brother, Xi Yingchi, are always arguing on a variety show, serving as a foil to the female lead and her brother's warm, loving relationship. Xi Yingqiao: That's obviously fake. Would that brat Xi Yingchi dare argue with me? But wait... How could she, Xi Yingqiao, be a mere supporting character for someone else?! Even if it's all made up, no way! When Xi Yingchi is told that he'll be appearing on a variety show with his fussy sister after all, he nearly loses it. Just the other day, his biological sister had frowned and said, "What variety show? You expect me to go on it myself?" * On the eve of the show's premiere, a recording gets leaked online. Xi Yingchi's irritated, reluctant voice is crystal clear: "You want me to go on a variety show with my sister? No way!" The haters get their keyboards ready. "He's that opposed to it?! Proof that the siblings don't get along! Now we've got something to hate on! We've never even seen his sister. Let's start a rumor that she's ugly!" After the show premieres... The famously bad-tempered top-tier star Xi Yingchi gets out of the car and walks around to open the other door. He humbly and elegantly extends his hand, and his supposedly ugly sister steps out in a stunning outfit, resting her hand lightly on his. She dazzles everyone, completely outshining the plain original female lead! During the tasks, the original female lead's team supports and encourages one another as they work together. But in the Xi siblings' team, only the younger brother is huffing away at the work while his sister quietly relaxes on a lounge chair. Netizens: So this is how an all-around capable younger brother is made. I'm so jealous of Xi Yingqiao TAT Haters: She doesn't do anything. She has no princess's fate but suffers from princess syndrome. Before long, though, netizens uncover that Xi Yingqiao is the heiress of the top-tier wealthy Xi family. Everyone else: ?? You call that not having a princess's fate? If she doesn't, then do you? On top of that, netizens are shocked to discover that the industry's top genius fashion designer, whose custom-made designs are so exclusive even major stars can barely get their hands on them, is none other than Xi Yingqiao, Xi Yingchi's older sister! Netizens ask the obvious question: Why have we never seen Xi Yingchi wearing clothes designed by Xi Yingqiao? Haters: So much for being close. He doesn't even like wearing clothes designed by his sister! Xi Yingchi: Do you think I don't wear my sister's designs because I don't want to? Of course it's because I'm not worthy :) Netizens switch sides and start competing with one another. "Look at me, big sis!! I'm talented too!! I can learn anything I don't know! Do you need another younger brother or sister?" * One day, a friend of Xi Yingchi's comes back from abroad and throws an arm around his shoulder. "Having such a troublesome sister must be rough." Xi Yingchi thinks someone finally understands him and is about to pour out his grievances when his friend says: "Give me your sister's contact information. I'll help you bear that pain." Xi Yingchi: "...?" So that's what this was about! Get lost!!!! Theme: Life is full of love
