After My Top-Tier Star Son Came Through

Shen Jinyuan had a strange dream about herself twenty-two years in the future:

Her husband had died young. Just as her son finally became a top-tier star, his scandalous past was exposed. He became famous in the morning and was buried that afternoon, and she died from the shock.

Single dog Shen Jinyuan: Starting now, I'll close off my heart and stop loving. No marriage, no heartbreak.

The next second, someone knocked on the door. A brash, icy voice came from outside:

"Mom, open up."

To other people, her uncultured, ill-mannered son was like a bicycle paired with a fish. To Shen Jinyuan, he was like a suit of armor for a tyrant.

Just the thing to use against her nemesis, Jiang Yuzhou.

Jiang Yuzhou was arrogant and cold, with a sharp tongue, and yet he was the roommate of the person she secretly loved.

At a party, Shen Jinyuan repeatedly warned Shen Du: "Your tongue is just as sharp as his. If you get into an argument later, tear him to shreds for me, got it?"

Shen Du promised without hesitation: "Don't worry. I'll make him cry for his mommy!"

Just then, the door opened.

The moment he saw Jiang Yuzhou, Shen Du blurted out:

"Dad?!"

Shen Jinyuan: ???

To get her son back on the right track, Shen Jinyuan decided to call a temporary truce with Jiang Yuzhou and focus on raising him.

In the cafeteria, her crush was on a date when Shen Jinyuan suddenly approached.

Onlookers: Ah, she's going to put on a tea-drinking act again.

The next second, Shen Jinyuan grabbed Shen Du, who was sitting nearby eating sunflower seeds and watching the drama unfold. "Don't be lazy! Go help your dad... I mean, Brother Zhou, pay the bill."

Outside the dorm, Shen Du and Jiang Yuzhou got into an argument and nearly came to blows.

Onlookers: Shen Du must have been egged on by Shen Jinyuan! She's always had it in for Jiang Yuzhou.

Shen Jinyuan walked by slowly and patted Jiang Yuzhou's arm with a look of fond concern. "Your health matters most. Just give him a couple of swats on the butt."

Shen Du, aged eighteen years and one month: ?

Shen Du got into trouble, and Shen Jinyuan went to find Jiang Yuzhou in a fury.

Onlookers: With that mouth of Jiang Yuzhou's, he'll make her cry.

Soon, an argument could be heard through the door...

Shen Jinyuan: "I can't deal with that little brat anymore. Do whatever you want with him."

Jiang Yuzhou: "I'll handle it, I'll handle it. Have some water."

[So much for being sworn enemies, with Shen but no Jiang?]

[Now I see it. Their only point of perfect harmony is raising Shen Du.]

[Why do I feel like Shen Du is their son?]

Jiang Yuzhou couldn't stop wondering about Shen Jinyuan's change of heart, so he asked Shen Du for help. "Your sister said she'd call a truce with me for four years. Why four years?"

Shen Du: ...Maybe because you'll kick the bucket in four years.
