Cheerful, optimistic shou x doting beauty gong

Lin Yan transmigrates into a minor cannon-fodder character in a power-struggle wish-fulfillment novel.

His father wants him to marry the only scholar in the village so badly that he drugs him. When the truth comes out, the original owner's reputation is ruined, and the whole village points fingers at the Lin family.

Later, the Lin family moves away without taking the original owner with them.

After that, the original owner dies by suicide, and people continue to revile him even after death.

As soon as Lin Yan opens his eyes, he finds the devastatingly handsome scholar staring at him, fire burning in his eyes.

According to the plot, the scholar is about to leave. Then the male supporting character, who has a crush on him, will burst in with a group of people and expose the scandal in front of everyone.

But just as Lin Yan is about to get out of bed, the scholar kisses him, then gets up and locks the door from the inside.

Lin Yan: ??

In his previous life, Zhang Moyuan made only one mistake.

A fellow villager, a young man, was drugged and lying in his bed. Zhang Moyuan's first thought was to lock the door and go out to buy medicine.

But as soon as he stepped outside, he was kidnapped by a wealthy young master he'd offended during an exam.

When he returned several months later, Lin Yan had already died by suicide.

It was the greatest regret of Zhang Moyuan's life, and in time it became an obsession.

Perhaps his fixation was too strong. After dying, he was actually reborn...

Blurb: Sang Chi takes a fall and discovers that the world he lives in is actually a novel.

He's a cannon-fodder supporting character who, unhappy with her wealthy husband's coldness, deliberately gets close to a newcomer from the entertainment industry on a parenting variety show.

In the end, he leaves with nothing, unable even to see his child.

After the newcomer becomes famous on the show, he rubs salt in Sang Chi's wounds.

Sang Chi: ...I'll just cling to my weak, helpless, chubby little baby.

The first day of the parenting show:

Other people's kids: pouting, throwing tantrums, and kissing their parents.

Three-year-old Nao Nao, with a serious face: My dad is too young, so our family can only rely on me.

Sang Chi: ?

Nao Nao struggles into a little apron and clatters around in the kitchen. He comes out with a glass of tap water and two raw eggs.

Nao Nao: Dad, hurry up and eat!

Sang Chi: ...Sweetie, Dad isn't hungry.

To keep his helpless, delicate father alive, Nao Nao learns to beg for food everywhere. The whole scene is heartbreaking.

Lu Yicheng happens to open the livestream: ...Is this show short on funds?

Assistant: Boss, this is the show Madam invested in.

Lu Yicheng, reflecting for once: I guess I really have been neglecting him.

[Sang Chi has never liked anyone else. In the original novel, he was just a tool and a cannon-fodder character.]

[The gong and shou are five years apart in age.]

Theme: Punish evil, promote good, and walk alongside the one you love.
