Going Viral on a Parenting Variety Show by Raising Kids the Lazy Way

On her first day after transmigrating into a book, Jin Xia was blasted by netizens and sent trending, all because she had abandoned her own flesh and blood: three adorable little kids. The eldest: "Mom doesn't want to see us, but she must have her reasons. She didn't mean to abandon us." The second: "Mom, don't worry. Even without you, we'll take good care of ourselves." The youngest: "I want Mommy to hold me. Sniff, sniff~" Netizens: "Waaah, what kind of heartless mother abandons such wonderful children? She's not even human!" Jin Xia's eyes nearly popped out. Her predecessor had been single her whole life, right up to her death. Where had these kids come from? This was a scam! Definitely a scam! Faced with public condemnation, Jin Xia refused to admit it no matter what. To prove her innocence, she proposed a paternity test. When she held the test report showing a 99.999999% match, Jin Xia died of embarrassment :) To calm public outrage, her agent decided Jin Xia should acknowledge the children and take them on a parenting variety show. Under the watchful eyes of the whole country, she would take up her responsibilities as a mother and win back custody. Jin Xia: Raising kids is out of the question. Let everyone join in and take away my custody rights! * Outdoor adventure segment-- The other guests took their kids to catch dragonflies, fish, and scoop up shrimp. They patiently taught them to appreciate nature and enjoy its gifts. Laughter and happy chatter filled the air. Jin Xia's three children looked at their mother, who could only lie around like a lazy fish, and exchanged a glance. The youngest nestled her soft little body in Jin Xia's arms, then raised her chubby face and said, "Mom, if you're bored while you nap, you can squish Nainai's cheeks. It'll help pass the time." The second rolled up his pants and went into the river to catch shrimp, then climbed a tree to raid a nest. The eldest put on an apron, lit a fire, and cooked. In an hour, he had whipped up eight dishes, with a mix of meat and vegetables and a mouthwatering aroma. The kids next door looked at the natural gifts on their plates (wild greens and berries) and burst into tears. All the mothers swarmed Jin Xia, hoping to learn the secrets of raising kids like a bear mom. Jin Xia: "..." Parent-child interaction segment-- The other guests worked together to help their kids learn to ride. One parent soothed the child's nerves while the other patiently explained the basics, leading the horse around in circles. From sunrise to sunset, they barely managed to get the kids to stop fearing the horse's hooves. Jin Xia simply picked a pony and waved her hand. "I only have two requirements: rely on yourselves, and come back alive!" The eldest flipped onto his horse, cracked his whip, and galloped away. The second followed close behind, racing at full speed. Their figures disappeared into the sunset, drawing countless envious exclamations from the children nearby. The youngest refused to be outdone. She struggled up onto the horse with her short little legs, but slid off as soon as she sat down. Just as everyone thought she was about to cry, the little one encouraged herself: "Mom said to rely on myself. Nainai is awesome." The adorable child huffed and puffed as she climbed onto the horse again. Her several attempts had the parents watching in suspense. They were just about to condemn Jin Xia for her cold indifference when they saw the child and horse gradually disappear into the distance. Her sweet little voice called out happily, "Thanks, Mom, for teaching Nainai to ride! Giddy-up!" Watching the little one's carefree figure ride off, the mothers swarmed Jin Xia again, hoping to learn the secrets of teaching kids through adversity. Jin Xia: "..." Coming soon, please add to your reading list: My Stepmom Is the Villain's Mom Yan Jia transmigrated into a book. Her predecessor had tormented her stepson because she couldn't win the male lead's love. Once the stepson grew up, he locked her in a mental hospital, where she died of depression. When Yan Jia arrived, her predecessor was holding a bamboo stick, ready to punish the child. Looking at the tiny, soft, three-headed-tall little boy staring at her in terror with his dark eyes, Yan Jia couldn't help sighing. Was life in a wealthy family not good enough, or did her loser husband's money not go far enough? Why take it out on a child? Yan Jia promptly knelt on the floor, grabbed her head, and got into character in a second. "Oh my gosh, what happened to me? What am I doing? The little one is so adorable. How could I bully him? Sniff~" The child, who had been bracing himself for a storm: ? The butler, who had one foot through the door to protect the child: ?! Yan Jia seized the chance to take things further, swinging the 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 show had to go on-- "Look, this is Heaven's punishment for me. No one needs to pity me. Boohoo, I might as well die from the pain!" The little boy furrowed his brows and hesitated for a few seconds before toddling over. He pursed his lips and blew gently. "Blow, blow. It won't hurt." Before Yan Jia could say anything nice, the little boy toddled away again. After that, he suddenly realized that his stepmother seemed to be getting more and more fragile. She was always getting hurt or sick, and only got better if he blew on her, hugged her, and kissed her. How embarrassing. Yan Jia: There's no villain too tough to win over with a little helplessness :) * 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 as his partner, only wanted someone to take care of his child. Since they were both driven by self-interest, their arrangement was straightforward and convenient. One day, a memory suddenly awakened in him. Yan Jia had abused his son, causing the boy to go astray as an adult. To prevent the tragedy, he had to stop it. When he rushed home, furious and ready to catch Yan Jia in the act, he saw her lounging on the sofa, watching a variety show and snacking. Her laughter nearly lifted the roof. His usually quiet son was massaging her legs, gazing up at her as he asked, "Mom, is this the right amount of pressure?" The woman took a moment to pull the child close and kiss him, then scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and fed it to him. He giggled sweetly. "Mom is so nice. If you and Dad get divorced, Yuanyuan will definitely go with you. If you meet any impressive single dads at kindergarten, introduce them to Mom!" The woman pulled the child into her arms and kissed him enthusiastically. "Mwah~ Mom is so happy to have you. You're such a good boy!" Ji Chengyan froze at the sight of their loving mother-son relationship. Was he the clown all along? ￥￥￥￥ Coming soon, please add to your reading list: My Stepmom Is the Unlucky Mom of a Rich Heir Xu Wan, a powerhouse from the apocalypse, transmigrated into the role of a wealthy family's stepmother. Everything about rich-family life was great. Her husband was obsessed with making money and rarely came home. Her stepson was already sixteen and didn't need looking after. Luxury cars, yachts, and helicopters were all at her disposal, and she could order the servants and chefs around as she pleased. The only downside was that the original owner, unable to win her husband's love, took out her resentment on her stepson. She beat and abused him until he turned evil, became the biggest villain in the book, and sent her to a mental hospital to spend the rest of her life :) Xu Wan thought, with conditions this good, she ought to live safely to ninety-nine. Her husband doesn't want to come home? Change the passcode, and he can stay away forever! Her rebellious stepson is obsessed with being a troublemaker? Then she'll show him the power of learning through adversity! * The rebellious teen gets dumped-- He sobbed by the pool in the middle of the night, getting drenched in the rain. Xu Wan turned on her top-of-the-line speakers and sang at the top of her lungs-- "I really did cry for you, and you really did leave with him. At this very moment, the whole world has another broken heart in a lonely corner. My heart is shattered~" Thinking about how his secret crush, the school beauty, and the top student had both gone abroad to study, the teen let out a loud wail, utterly heartbroken. Shen Luo: Please act like a human being! The rebellious teen gets into a fight-- The other kid's parents stormed into the principal's office to demand an explanation. Xu Wan charged into the office and gave the kid who'd been beaten a harsh scolding. "Are you stupid? If someone hits you, hit them back! You're such a pushover." The kid gritted his teeth and glared at her, furious. Then Xu Wan said, "That's it, hold on to that anger. Good. Now turn around and give Shen Luo a good beating. Then you'll be even!" Shen Luo: "?" The other kid's parents: "W-well, there's no need to go that far!" Xu Wan reassured them. "If someone hits you, hitting back is only natural. Don't worry, if he gets hurt, I'll take responsibility :)" The principal: "..." * After a month away on business, Shen Yanzhi came home dragging his exhausted body behind him. His fingerprint was repeatedly rejected when he tried to open the door. He was just about to call and ask what was going on when the door suddenly opened. His new wife, usually gentle and virtuous, was surrounded by a group of young men, laughing and walking toward him. She frowned in confusion. "And you are?" Shen Yanzhi frowned and looked at the son behind her, his intimidating eyes full of a dark, silent demand for an explanation. But his dear son slammed the door shut and said loudly, "Probably someone selling insurance. The economy's bad. Everyone's having a hard time!" Shen Yanzhi: "..."
