Blurb:

Qi Yunzhou never had a father. When he was three, his mother left, too.

One day, the little kid had a dream and discovered he was living inside a book.

The good news: His mom was the long-lost heiress of a wealthy family, and his dad was the powerful head of a financial empire he had built from scratch.

The bad news: This was a melodramatic novel about a one-night stand, an unexpected pregnancy, and a woman who ran away with the baby.

Five-year-old Yunzhou was the abandoned kid, and his scumbag dad had never even thought about finding him.

*

At a lecture being streamed live, little Yunzhou was asked to describe his father.

The little boy, with raven hair and snowy skin, smiled with his eyes and fluttered his long lashes. "My dear father..."

Before he could finish, the camera showed the carefree handwriting on his answer sheet:

[He's a scumbag who abandoned his wife and child!]

Qi Zhihan, one of the lecture's sponsors, saw the quiet scorn at the corner of the child's mouth during the livestream.

He frowned slightly, and suddenly wanted to stab that scumbag dad.

Later, he met the little one at the hospital.

The little white dumpling sat on the hospital bed like a soft little fox, while a director beside him rambled on and on:

"We're doomed. Our variety show about kids has no celebrity dads, no young masters from rich families, and no powerful business moguls showing off their soft side as fathers."

"I'd die happy if we could get even the first two!"

Then die.

Watching the director's paw tug at the child, President Qi thought coldly.

Two days later, the director, who had been lamenting how broke he was, discovered that their low-budget show about kids had suddenly received an investment of tens of millions.

Celebrity dad? They got one.

Rich young master? They got one.

Qi Zhihan looked at the child. "Is there anything else you want?"

"My dad's ashes were just scattered."

The child blinked his big eyes in confusion, then said earnestly, "Now I just need a guardian to go on the show with me."

Qi Zhihan was silent for a second.

The next day, a photo of little Yunzhou holding hands with a business tycoon went viral.

*

On the variety show:

Qi Zhihan: This is the best meal I've ever had.

Yunzhou: Oh? But I made dog food.

Qi Zhihan had just bought a famous chocolate brand because the child liked chocolate: ...

His smile deepened. "Is that so? Then human food must be even tastier, right?"

The viewers in the livestream: ...

#Apart from saying that a father's love is as solid as a mountain, I can't even get a single other word out#

#Such an adorable kid went viral by dragging his dad#

#The years I toyed with a big shot of a father in the palm of my hand#

#Bonus Scene#

Later, the mother's wealthy family found them through the show, and the old man clutched little Yunzhou, weeping with joy.

Qi Zhihan's relieved expression froze when he received a DNA test report.

He looked at the guy peeling fruit in his hand and wondered if he should stab himself.

#So it turns out he's the scumbag dad himself#

Little Yunzhou blinked his innocent eyes: ...

#Question: My dad is the head of the Qi family, and my maternal grandfather is the head of the Lin family.

They're fighting over custody in court right now, so who should I go with?!#

*

"Keep moving forward, my dear child. You deserve to be recognized, and you deserve to be loved.

Your whole life will be wrapped in love, and you will bring joy to others."

Reader's Notes

1. This is a ridiculous comedy! The kind where Snow White dances gracefully around the square on an elephant, and the author cackles like a maniac in the middle of the night! The laughs really take off around Chapter 8, and it gets more and more ridiculous as it goes.

2. The major revision is complete. The tone is silly, heartwarming, and healing, with themes of redemption. I've revised the child's characterization chapter by chapter, so this is vastly different from pirated copies. For details on the revisions, see the author's note in Chapter 1.

3. The CP is Gu Yan: little liar x young master, childhood friends who grow up together, outwardly flirtatious x secretly flirtatious.

4. No romance between the parents. The main character is a kid, so feel free to dive in.

5. The two main kids are more mature than others their age, with a touch of genius-kid flair, though they're not exactly hackers.

6. Also known as "I Went Viral by Dragging My Dad" and "The Years I Toyed with My Big-Shot Dad in the Palm of My Hand."

7. This story is entirely fictional, so please don't read it as a depiction of real life. Hugs!

Coming Soon 1: The Pretty Bystander Was Humiliated for 100 Million

Duan Qing was never welcomed by high society.

He was the burden his birth mother brought into a powerful family when she married into it, a vicious parasite who failed to frame his younger brother.

After being kicked out of the family, he relied on his astonishingly beautiful face to get temporary work at a bar.

On his first day, he met a young man who got drunk after just one sip:

Cool and aloof, noble and distant, like a crane that had wandered into the mortal world.

As part of his job, Duan Qing went over to help the drunk young man contact his family. But as he was leaving, the young man touched the coral beads on his wrist.

Footsteps sounded. A wealthy lady arrived just in time and frowned at the beads.

"Are you the young man who seduced my son? He even gave you this heirloom!"

Duan Qing: "Ma'am, this is actually a misunder-"

Then she threw him a check for 100 million.

At the moment he was hit with 100 million, Duan Qing was overwhelmed with gratitude.

He thought he'd reached the pinnacle of life.

Until he realized it was 100 million Zimbabwean dollars.

As everyone knows, 100 million Zimbabwean dollars is worth about 0.5 RMB.

Duan Qing, who hadn't even managed to explain the misunderstanding: ...

*

"A measly 100 million can't buy out our love!"

His explanation was drowned out by fury. Dressed in red, Duan Qing smiled at the wealthy lady with dazzling abandon, as brilliant as fireworks.

He took the young man's hand and shouted:

"Mom, our love is real!"

The wealthy lady: ...

Xie Jinzhou, whose hand was in a death grip: ...

A few days later, a video of the incident spread through the people involved's group chat, and their friends went wild.

But nobody thought these two people, whose status was as different as heaven and earth, would end up together.

Until the private banquet of Old Ship King Xie. With the place packed with society's elite, everyone saw the noble heir of the Xie family kneeling on one knee before the ancestral hall, lowering his thick lashes as he fastened the coral beads, a token of the family head, around Duan Qing's wrist.

*

In the eyes of the young scions of elite families, Xie Jinzhou was the moon itself, shining high above them.

As the Xie family's sole heir, he had always been far beyond reach.

Until one day, he met Duan Qing.

Then Duan Qing pulled him down from his altar.

*

One night, Duan Qing sat in his bedroom answering questions from his livestream.

"A difference in status? Seduction? No, we're clearly in love."

"How do you show your love?" The night was deep, and Duan Qing rambled along with the topic. "By making soup and sewing clothes, and serving him every night..."

"Qingqing."

A cool, clear voice entered the livestream. Xie Jinzhou walked over with a bowl of lychees. His snow-and-ice features seemed less distant in the warm light. "You forgot to eat fruit again today."

Duan Qing kept staring at the livestream. "Serving him every night..."

Xie Jinzhou: "Put the pits in my hand."

The viewers, who hadn't even had time to pull their pants back up: ...

Wait, which one of you is serving the other?

#How to get a great-grandpa in exchange for 100 million#

The wealthy lady still doesn't understand how she went from stepmother/evil mother-in-law to a matchmaker everyone praises.

Xie Jinzhou x Duan Qing

The moon in the sky x the mud on the ground

Secretly flirtatious x openly flirtatious

Coming Soon 2: The Big Shot Went Crazy After I Got My Driver's License

Su Li was the son of the Lin family's chauffeur. After the college entrance exam, his father sent him to driving school and asked an old friend to teach him.

In the driver's seat, Su Li first heard the news that the Lin family's heir had been in a car accident and was presumed dead. The next moment, a translucent figure suddenly appeared in the passenger seat.

Snowy brows and eyes, cool as the bright moon.

Only when he looked at Su Li did a ripple of emotion stir in his eyes.

It was Lin Chen, the young master of the Lin family, the very person who was presumed dead in the news.

Lin Chen was born into a powerful family and had always had things go his way, until he got into a car accident and his soul became trapped in a driving-school car.

He could only wake up in the hospital once a terrible student named Su Li got his driver's license.

He'd thought it would be easy, until...

The first time he saw him, Su Li bolted out of the car like a madman, shouting as he ran: Don't look at me like that! The living and the dead belong to different worlds. There's no way this could work between us!

During the S-curve practice, Su Li's right foot pecked at the accelerator like a chick. He floored it and reversed the car into a haystack in a completely insane manner.

When they took the car out on the road, they wrapped it in a banner reading "Killer on the Road." Passersby thought the driver was out to claim their souls.

At last, exam day came. While confirming his identity and swiping his ID, Su Li used his bank card instead, and his score was wiped to zero in despair.

Young Master Lin: ...

Looking at Su Li, who had sworn, "If I practice driving again, may I never have children," the young master said mildly, "Ten million."

Su Li, who'd just made that vow, jumped back into the car in a second. "I get ten million for keeping you company and getting my license? Dad, don't worry, I don't mind never having children-"

Oh my god, I used the accelerator instead of the clutch!

*

"A Li, you don't have to be afraid of me. Just pretend there's a dog sitting in the passenger seat."

After another failed lesson, Lin Chen, the temporary driving instructor, opened a little black book and got in touch with a veteran hearse driver from the underworld.

The hearse driver was a man of strong character.

Every time he was paid enough spirit money, he'd happily twist his two-meter-long neck and pass on his driving tips to Su Li...

Including, but not limited to, how he'd lost his life in a car accident.

Su Li's hands trembled on the steering wheel. "As the only living person in the car, I'm scared-"

"You don't have to be afraid."

A voice sounded by his ear. Their breaths mingled, sending shivers through him. As the frost in Lin Chen's eyes melted, he took Su Li's hand.

Then, aboard the speeding hearse, with the ghosts as witnesses, the young master kissed Su Li's forehead and said gently:

"It's okay if you can't drive well. At worst, we'll go to the afterlife together."

"That would be the most romantic double suicide."

Su Li: "...Help!"

He watched helplessly as the young master's smile went from gentle to downright unhinged.

#Stop driving! If this keeps up, either the instructor or the boyfriend is going to lose it#

#Did Mr. Su get his driver's license?#

#No. He says it's all the traffic on the road's fault that he can't drive properly. Now he must be figuring out how to make a car fly through the sky!#

A driving-test-induced breakdown story

Author: Hi, everyone! I'm that student who made his instructor so angry he smashed the steering wheel. Now I'm here to teach you the tricks for the second and third driving tests! Ha ha!
