The Adorable Little Kid Goes Viral on a Parenting Show

[A silly comedy about a pair of airheaded mother and daughter]

Baby rabbit Tutu has ended up in the human world. She sees a beautiful woman, throws her arms around her, and cries, "Mom, where have you been?"

Heng E, suddenly embraced, jumps back. "Sweetie, who are you?"

The reporters see this and snap away, capturing it all.

Heng E's reputation takes another hit: diva, rude, mean, bad character...

And on top of that, she secretly married and had a daughter, then abandoned her.

But DNA tests don't lie. Heng E looks at the report, then at the pink-cheeked little girl beside her. "I gave birth to her?"

To restore her reputation, her company arranges for her to appear on the reality show New Moms on the Road.

But Tutu is an utterly clueless sweetheart. She doesn't understand how to cultivate an image in showbiz, or why her mother is always lying.

She keeps exposing her mother on the show.

◎ On a trip to the countryside, Heng E eyes a table full of farm-style dishes and swallows, then puts on a look of disdain. "How could anyone eat this? I only eat Western food, Japanese food, and Michelin-starred meals. If it's not expensive, I won't eat it."

Tutu is confused. "Mom, didn't you say barbecue and hot pot were your favorites? How could you live without snail noodles and stinky tofu?"

Tutu takes out a photo of Heng E slurping down snail noodles with gusto at a run-down little restaurant.

Netizens: [This kid's a keeper. If she's got dirt, she really spills it.]

[Heng E, there's nothing wrong with being down-to-earth. Drop the diva act.]

◎ At a performance, Heng E looks at the plain costume, which has been starched many times and feels soft to the touch. She pretends to frown. "What kind of clothes are these? I only wear designer labels. Only haute couture catches my eye. These are way too cheap."

Tutu doesn't get it. "Mom, didn't you say Grandpa's rough hemp clothes were the most comfortable? Silk is so slippery, like snot. It's disgusting."

Soon, a photo of Heng E wearing a matronly outfit made by her own father gets taken. She looks dowdy, yet breathtakingly beautiful.

Netizens exclaim: [Heng E, stop pretending. Your diva image has been gone for ages. A fairy would look beautiful even wearing a burlap sack.]

◎ The production crew sets up a test of everyone's compassion by having a homeless person beg for money. Heng E looks disgusted, covers her nose, and walks away.

She doesn't forget to brag to her daughter. "Tutu, isn't Mom clever? I could tell right away it was a trick by the show. We're sure to win this time."

Tutu doesn't understand. "Mom, why didn't you help him? You've donated to so many schools. You're a good person."

Tutu waves the school donation certificate in her hand. "Mom, your eleventh certificate is here, too!"

Netizens: [!!! Heng E, I'll never hate on you again.]

*

Heng E rubs her forehead. Sweetie, thanks to you, Mom's image has completely fallen apart.

But she never expected that after her carefully cultivated persona crumbled, she would go from being hated by the entire internet to being adored by everyone.

[Chinese food is the best. Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people.]

[What was the company thinking, making Heng E act like a spoiled, mean woman? Being genuine is the best.]

[How can Heng E be so beautiful, kindhearted, and down-to-earth?]

[The silly, unlucky beauty and her clueless daughter who keeps throwing her under the bus. I love this mother-daughter pair.]

Heng E looks at herself, trending and praised all over the internet, then at the man beside her whom Tutu has just hugged and called "Dad." Her face darkens.

Can someone tell her why the heavens assigned her a child, and then assigned her a handsome husband, too?

Reading guide: 1. The heroine is named Heng E. Chang'e is also known as Heng'e, and that's where the name comes from.

2. Tutu's name comes from the sound of "tutu," like a little rabbit.

Blurb for The National Treasure Panda Goes Viral on a Parenting Show with Her Princess Syndrome:

#Top-tier star Peng Chao announces the first season of Where Are We Going, Big Brother?#

The announcement sets the whole internet buzzing.

[Who could stand Peng Chao's bad temper? Won't the kid cry and demand to quit the show?]

[Will Peng Chao really not run off halfway through filming?]

[Can Peng Chao memorize the variety show's script? What if his acting is so bad he gives the game away?]

Everyone worries for the child who'll be paired with him: How unlucky can you get? What a nightmare.

*

But once the show airs, everyone eats their words: Is this the legendary case of fighting magic with magic?

And without realizing it, did they just expose a fake, too?

The production crew takes the group to a century-old restaurant. The other guests all rave about how delicious the food is.

Yuanyuan takes one bite and spits it out. "These aren't Qingdao prawns, these aren't Rushan oysters, and this isn't spring bamboo shoot..."

Peng Chao: "What kind of garbage are they feeding my baby? Did the production crew get paid to promote this place?"

Later, the Food Hygiene and Safety Inspection Bureau finds that the restaurant uses inferior ingredients and passes them off as good ones.

Netizens: Is she a walking gourmet? Does she have perfect taste?

They're given a place to stay. It's supposedly a five-star hotel, but Yuanyuan tosses and turns. "This bed is uncomfortable. I can't sleep."

Peng Chao, looking exhausted, can't sleep either. "Baby, this really is a dump. My skin's breaking out in a rash!"

Not long afterward, the Quality Inspection Bureau finds that the hotel has hygiene issues and orders it to suspend operations for rectification.

Netizens: Welcome aboard, hotel reviewer.

When they take photos, Yuanyuan is extremely demanding.

"Don't use lighting. Black and white are the truest colors in the world."

"Don't use a beauty filter. The original photo is already beautiful."

"Don't use a filter. I'm cute as I am."

Peng Chao chimes in beside her. "Baby, an artist as beautiful as me, who can withstand the test of an unedited photo, is one of a kind."

Netizens: Hahaha, who are you taking shots at? Nowadays, there aren't any unedited photos online. You could become an online exposer of fakes.

With this unusual dynamic, Peng Chao, who used to be hated by the whole internet, clears his name on the show.

[Princess syndrome really is the cure for rich-boy syndrome!]

[Would the professional anti-fraud department consider hiring Yuanyuan? She's a walking fake detector!]

Later, Yuanyuan really does start exposing fakes alongside Peng Chao. Their first stop is the entertainment industry.

Netizens all start calling Yuanyuan "baby," just like Peng Chao does.

A reporter asks Peng Chao, "Why does everyone call Yuanyuan 'baby'?"

Peng Chao: "..."

She really is a baby. She's a national treasure panda, after all, and precious beyond measure! How else would she have developed such princess syndrome?

His father, who runs a zoo, specifically told him to take good care of Yuanyuan!

Blurb for So, What's the Entertainment Industry So Pompous About?:

Xu Ling, a spy and big shot in the apocalypse, is carrying out a mission. Just as she's about to crack a password, she's transported to the modern world and bound to an Entertainment Industry Godhood System.

System: The entertainment industry is a mess: tax evasion, capital manufacturing stars, blah blah blah. Go on, you're the Purple Star of the entertainment industry in 20X3.

Xu Ling: It's such a mess, so why become a celebrity?

By the time you see one cockroach, the whole house is already full of them.

She decides to expose the entertainment industry's dark secrets and clean it up.

*

Armed with inside information from the Godhood System and her own extraordinary investigative skills, a star who exposes fakes begins to rise in the entertainment industry.

The first step in cleaning things up: start with the people in the spotlight.

A Best Actress and a Best Actor are exposed as having lived separate lives for years, with no one to care for their child. The loving, family-oriented images they'd cultivated for years both collapse.

A top-tier star has spent years failing to improve her craft, while evading taxes, insulting fans, and reselling gifts that fans carefully selected for her.

A newly popular young actor is exposed for having affairs with several major fans. His carefully crafted image as a career-focused star who pampers his fans falls apart.

The people who'd been fooling around laugh: So this is how your idols pamper their fans? That's certainly special.

The second step in cleaning things up: make the media return to the truth and put an end to manufactured stars.

Late at night, money transfers between an influential paparazzo and a celebrity's studio, along with the details of their hype campaigns, shoot straight to the top of the trending list, confirming the rumors of manufactured stardom.

It's revealed that the box office for the year's worst movie was faked. A reclusive expert uses a data model to calculate that the real box office was only one hundredth of the reported total. Money laundering and making money off a terrible movie are confirmed.

Price lists for annual membership deals that several celebrities signed with Weibo are made public, along with screenshots showing major fans managing comments and manipulating the stats.

Netizens exclaim: Well, would you look at that? Annual contracts for trending topics aren't just a joke after all?

The Nth step in cleaning things up: strike at the root. Use capital's own playbook to leave capital with nowhere to turn.

A new entertainment company suddenly becomes a sensation.

From those in the spotlight to the people behind the scenes, from screenwriters and actors to editors and agents, it launches a public recruitment drive. If you dream of becoming a star, have real talent, or have a good script, this is your stage.

Other capitalists: What kind of dark horse is this? We've never heard of them in our circle. How dare they ignore the rules?

Before the cleanup, the fans' attitude: My idols are the best. What kind of unscrupulous media outlet would say otherwise?

After the cleanup, the fans' attitude: The entertainment industry is trash. You ruined my youth and played with my feelings. Manufactured stars and capital, get out of showbiz.

Xu Ling does end up becoming a rising star in the entertainment industry of 20X3.

Watching things grow ever more complicated, the System wonders: Is this what they mean when they say all roads lead to Rome?

Theme: Love life, starting with loving everyone around you
