The socially anxious Du Xiaoruo never expected that she'd transmigrate into a melodramatic rich-family romance novel and become the female lead's foil, a supporting character.
Worse, when she arrived, the original owner was already in a contractual marriage with a wealthy family and had a nine-year-old stepson.
Faced with a melodramatic life full of extroverts, Du Xiaoruo trembled with fear.
She downloaded a "chat wallpaper for the socially anxious" and set it as her phone lock screen.
On the show, the female lead cornered her and lectured her. "Du Xiaoruo, I think you should put more effort into educating your stepson."
Du Xiaoruo glanced at her lock screen. "Tell me more!"
The female lead was full of herself. "You need to communicate more with your child. That's how you raise a sunny, adorable kid, just like mine."
Du Xiaoruo glanced at her lock screen. "You're so good at it. I could never!"
The female lead grew smug. "If you know you can't, then learn from me."
Du Xiaoruo glanced at her lock screen. "Exactly, exactly!"
Sharp-eyed viewers noticed the big words on Du Xiaoruo's lock screen: [The ultimate chat wallpaper, a must-have for the socially anxious!]
Overnight, the whole internet found out that Du Xiaoruo was socially anxious.
Du Xiaoruo stayed at a cafe until late at night. When she quietly snuck back to the villa, her stepson caught her red-handed.
Twisting the hem of his shirt, he asked timidly, "I just want that chat wallpaper of yours!"
The two extremely socially anxious participants on the parenting show spent every day hoping an outgoing man would show up, so they wouldn't have to talk.
Then came an episode that required the fathers to join the filming, and a tall, handsome, mixed-race man appeared.
"Thank you for taking such good care of my wife!"
"My son can be a handful. Thank you for putting up with him!"
"Let's exchange contact details so we can keep in touch!"
Du Xiaoruo breathed a sigh of relief and secretly vowed never to leave this family.
P.S. The leads have a seven-year age gap. The socially anxious kid isn't the male lead's son; his background will gradually be revealed.
This might be a brainless wish-fulfillment story. Please don't yell at me. If you do, I'll just say, "Exactly, exactly!"

Coming soon: Help! The Obsessive CEO Is the Outgoing Kid's Dad. Please add it to your reading list!
Zhou Yuxin had always thought she was an utterly ordinary D-list actress: a little socially anxious, a little lazy, fond of gossip and complaining about her boss.
But one day, a little girl with pigtails and a red backpack appeared at her apartment door and called her Mommy.
Later, Zhou Yuxin awakened to the truth: she was living in a CEO romance novel, as the villainous supporting character who had a one-night stand with the obsessive CEO, then fled while pregnant.
In the book, she hid overseas for five years. Just as the CEO was about to marry the daughter of the Xu family, she showed up with her daughter, trying to use the child to blackmail him and seize his family fortune. Naturally, her ending was tragic: she died in a carefully planned car crash.
The good news was that Zhou Yuxin had awakened to the plot and could avoid her miserable future.
The bad news was that her three-year-old daughter, Ye Xiaoxiao, had traveled back from the future. The child looked at her with clear, wide eyes, tugged at her clothes, and pleaded,
"Mommy, I want Daddy."
Daddy was the obsessive, cold CEO from the original novel, who had stomach problems and obsessive-compulsive disorder... and was also Zhou Yuxin's boss, Ye Yi.
Zhou Yuxin: "...How about we pretend this daddy is dead?"
Ye Entertainment had contracts with its artists that forbade them from publicly revealing relationships during their term. Getting married or having children was an even bigger taboo.
But paparazzi caught Zhou Yuxin with a three-year-old daughter, and Human Resources reported the matter to Ye Yi.
Ye Yi coolly ordered, "Terminate her contract and demand that she pay the penalty."
Where was a struggling wage slave like Zhou Yuxin supposed to find that astronomical sum?
She had no choice but to bring the little girl to Ye Yi. "Open your eyes and take a good look. Doesn't she look just like you?"
Later, the boss who had once threatened to fire Zhou Yuxin started sending her messages at the same time every day.
[Is the little one asleep? Have her tell Daddy good night.]
[I saw a pretty dress on my business trip and bought it for the little one.]
[That bowl-cut boy at kindergarten who keeps getting close to the little one needs to learn about personal boundaries.]
Later still, Ye Yi sent Zhou Yuxin a message: [Can I give our child a complete home?]
He was so nervous that he accidentally sent it to the company group chat.
Zhou Yuxin's assistant came over holding her phone, eager to gossip. "Holy crap, look! President Ye has a kid!"
Zhou Yuxin: I'm gossiping about myself!
The socially anxious, lazy heroine x the obsessive, cold CEO x the sunny, outgoing little darling
Little darling: "This family would fall apart without me."
Coming soon. Please add it to your reading list!
Moral: Being socially anxious is hard. Keep going!
Pre-released article, "My real mother is a robot", please collect it!
Ji Yanli is an engineer who studies AI in the novel. His wife died unexpectedly three years ago, leaving behind his daughter Ji Zhiyuan, who was less than one year old at the time.
Ji Yanli spent three years building a robot that looked exactly like a real person. He told his daughter, "This is mom."
A simple interactive program is embedded in the robot, and it only knows some simple interactions. Xiaoyuan is very happy because she has a mother.
Chi Qingqing accidentally traveled through time and space into a robot body the day after reading the novel, and became Ji Zhiyuan's robot mother.
The Ji family had just moved into the Science and Technology Park Community. When Ji Yanli returned home from the research institute, his new neighbor told him that he saw his wife in the afternoon.
Ji Yanli smiled reservedly and excused himself, "Well, she doesn't like to talk much." He thought that his neighbor must have seen the robot in the house through the window, and it seemed that he would have to close the curtains in the future.
The new neighbor who spoke ill of more than 20 people with Chi Qingqing in the afternoon, "..." I feel that you may have a misunderstanding of your wife.
A few days later, Professor Li, who is engaged in plant research, came to complain, "Professor Ji, your wife and your daughter secretly ate the new variety of cherry tomatoes in my field."
Ji Yanli, "... Are you sure it was the tomato my wife secretly ate?"
Professor Li was so angry that his beard flew up, "Your wife is such a beauty. There is no other beauty in the whole park. How can I be wrong?"
Ji Yanli, "..." But I remember that my wife usually only charges the battery.
The cold and dull Professor Ji, the free and easy funny girl Chi Qingqing, and the group favorite Xiao Yuan, a family of three live a happy life.
That social photo was sent to the heroine by Lele's biological mother. Although Lele's biological mother is no longer there, the picture of Lele's mother is still there?
Ah, it ended a bit suddenly, it's a pity
Good boy, so consistent from beginning to end, right?
Did it end so suddenly?
It's quite funny. The male protagonist is rare and very interesting.
Why did it end so suddenly? I'm still a little uncomfortable with it.
Such an abrupt ending?
There are also social gangsters, they are so awesome.
But that picture is in Chinese, right? Xiao Mo should be able to translate it, right?
Haha, Why Are You so Old?
