The Hated Real Young Master Goes Viral on a Dating Show

New novel: Pretty Beauty and Her Kid Become a Hit on a Parenting Variety Show. See my author page.

Jiang Guangbai transmigrates into a novel about a wealthy family and the cutthroat entertainment industry, becoming the cannon-fodder biological son.

The fake son is loved by his parents, excels in his studies, and basks in the admiration of everyone around him, living a happy, fulfilled life.

As for him, he has no family affection, loses his inheritance, gets mocked and vilified across the internet, and dies with his soul scattered.

After transmigrating into the book, his agency refuses to promote him and even smears him, crafting a useless fool persona for him. A mountain of scandals makes him a foil for the fake son, who is adored by everyone.

The plot suddenly drops a reminder right on his forehead: the fake son will have him killed.

Jiang Guangbai, who'd planned to quit the industry and coast but transmigrated into a book instead: ...?

To stay alive, he acts decisively, returns to his old career, and takes up the mantle of a top-tier star. He smashes his foolish persona, reclaims his inheritance, and makes a triumphant comeback.

Forget quitting the industry. Forget coasting. Isn't building a career way better? Isn't being the wealthy family's real son so satisfying?

To survive, he tears up the script and transforms into a career-driven queen.

He joins a dating show and gets boycotted by viewers and antis, who tell him to get lost.

He takes a fashion endorsement, and a big-name influencer mocks his lack of taste.

He accepts a role in an obscure drama, and his rival sneers that he's about to be written out.

But Jiang Guangbai becomes a sensation! He makes it to the top tier!

Antis: ? Already switched sides and become fans.

Everyone else: He's still here, but our faces hurt.

Jiang Guangbai has a mysterious fan-site photographer, @StickCloseToWifeBai, who spends big to support him and fiercely defends him while attacking his rivals and their antis.

And on Weibo, he posts:

My wife is so beautiful and fierce, and has such a great figure. Drooling, I really want to get naughty with her ╭(╯ε╰)╮

You damn antis, are you blind? I hope my car runs you over the moment you step outside!

The dating show takes off, and a ship between Jiang Guangbai and a certain top-tier star rises like a skyscraper. The shipper who started it posts new content every day, while the top-tier star's usual lawyer's letters have vanished!

Then, during a live broadcast of the dating show, the aloof, abstinent big shot sits at his computer, expertly opens an alt account to vote for the ship, then switches to another alt account.

Fans: Abstinent and aloof?!

Ship fans: Holy crap! We got the real deal!

#The Cold Male God Is Actually Sharp-Tongued and Secretly Flirtatious#

Girlfriend fans: Heh. I'll say nothing about who used to insult their own idol and argue with me.

The top-tier star himself, whose aloof B-king persona accidentally crumbled and who got publicly exposed in the middle of an identity reveal: ...I dug my own hole and buried myself. (Lights a cigarette, looking world-weary.jpg)

Then the trending topics exploded: #Shocking, A Legendary Identity Reveal# #So the Male God Says One Thing and Means Another#

One month later: Bro, are you even trying? You still haven't won him over, but your CP is already number one!

Two months later: Help, that damn domineering CEO turned into a clingy puppy! What a contrast!

Three months later: Waaah, what kind of mutual devotion is this? Kiss him already!

Fans, realizing it only after the fact: So they'd been sneaking around behind everyone's backs all along...

A reporter from a certain network: “Bro, can you tell us when you fell for Bai Bai?”

Yu, grinning smugly: “Love at first sight. The first time we met.”

“Could you be more specific?”

“If I get too specific, I don't think they'll be able to air this.” Yu: “He's so fiery, I wanted to sleep with him.”

Fans: ...Pfft, you're something else.

The network: You really know how to come up with trending topics...

New novel: “A Free Husband and I Fall in Love on a Parenting Variety Show”

After waking from a car accident, Xu Qinzhou looks at the unfamiliar surroundings and the little child standing in front of him, looking miserable and too scared to speak after being punished, calling him “Daddy.” He falls into deep thought.

He has transmigrated into the role of a wicked father who used underhanded means to climb into a top-tier star's bed, got pregnant to force the star to marry him, and then cruelly abused their child, leaving him withdrawn and timid.

His husband married him out of a sense of responsibility and treats him coldly, rejecting him and looking down on him for being ignorant and uncultured. Once his abuse of the child is exposed, his husband kicks him out, the whole internet doxes and vilifies him, and he eventually dies on the street.

“Daddy?” The child calls out to him timidly, shrinking back in fear, his thin little body trembling all over.

Xu Qinzhou: Who could bear to make such a cute little one cry?

“Baby, let Daddy hold and kiss you!”

The child looks at him timidly, startled and trying to dodge.

Looking at the frail, pitiful child, Xu Qinzhou's heart melts.

He decides to quietly earn money and be a good father, setting an example for his child.

The child is too skinny, so he studies childcare and makes nutritious meals.

The child catches a cold and comes down with a fever, so he drives like a madman to get him to the hospital.

The now cheerful child: “Daddy! Kiss me!”

When Gu Chenming next has a video call with his legal “wife,” the man is gentle and considerate, dressed in an artistic style, just like the perfect wife in his mind.

He looks at that face that makes his heart race and cheeks flush, then turns the camera away.

One day, the family of three becomes a trending topic.

The whole country learns that a top-tier star has a secret marriage and a cute five-year-old child!

Doubtful comments pour in at once:

[Look at these three, they don't seem familiar with each other at all. Did they hire actors?]

[It has to be fake. How could our star brother ever be interested in him?]

But when the camera turns to the two of them...

Other families' vibe:

[Oh my god, they're so strict with their kid. The child is crying from being treated so unfairly.]

[“They're pretty well-behaved, though.”]

His family's vibe:

[Cheng Cheng and Zhouzhou perform a world-famous piece together at a concert!]

[Are they trying out being museum tour guides? (Trying to snatch him away in plain sight!)]

[Waaah, come here and let Auntie cuddle you!]

During an interview, Xu Qinzhou says nervously, “It's my first time being a dad. I don't know much about raising children...”

Comments: [It's okay, wifey. You can just have another one!]

The show becomes a huge hit, and fans uncover that the receiver is a famous investor in S City!

During Xu Qinzhou's livestream, Gu Chenming suddenly comes in and points to the exposé for him to see. Leaning against the doorway, he tilts his head and asks, “Care to explain?”

Xu Qinzhou looks away evasively. “You believe gossip?”

“Hah.” Gu Chenming pulls out the evidence, picks Xu Qinzhou up, and forces their eyes to meet. In a low voice, he asks, “What about now?”

Xu Qinzhou: “...Listen, let me make excuses!”

“Too late.”

The livestream goes black in an instant, and the audio cuts out too.

Comments: [?!]

Gu Chenming: [Doing my part for the national two-child policy. Do not disturb.]

Comments: [...!! What could possibly be so exclusive that even my esteemed membership can't see it?]

Moral: Hold on to your true self and persevere. Every obstacle can be overcome, and you can turn the tables against the odds.
