Life as a Dad on a Parenting Show

Blurb below:

Shen Si didn't realize until Cheng Ke beat him to death with a club just hours before his surgery that he was nothing more than a "target character" in the other man's System mission.

All his hopes of having a family, everything he'd imagined, vanished with his death.

After being reborn, Shen Si accidentally acquired Cheng Ke's System. To stay safe, he put the System out of his mind and hurriedly found a man to get a marriage certificate with.

You're the one! The man who fought me over raising a child in my past life!

He'd finally gotten a second chance at life. Why waste it tangled up with a scumbag? Scumbags belong in a garbage shredder, out of sight and out of mind!

After choosing to leave the scumbag behind and live his best life, Shen Si left the man he'd just married and gleefully went on a parenting reality show to find the kid from his past life.

Without the scumbag getting in his way, he accidentally did a perfectly normal job and became the most dependable dad on the show.

Well, fair enough. How could he, as a father, admit defeat in front of his son?

Then he accidentally made a guest appearance on a crossover variety show, snatching the scumbag's steady job right out from under him.

That seemed fine, too. His kid said he had the best singing voice, so he had to be the best singer out of all the dads!

Finally, his kid said he wanted a family. Shen Si had already planned to adopt the child himself, but scratched his head. Damn it, he seemed to have grown a love-addled brain.

Maybe he should try dating the man he'd married?

When Shen Si's spouse was revealed, everyone assumed the two, whose backgrounds were worlds apart, were involved in some sort of shady deal.

Rumors even spread that their marriage was fake. Furious, the man logged into his company's official account in the middle of the night, tagged his spouse, and posted a photo of their marriage certificate.

The world fell silent.

Only Fu Chongxu knew there was no shady deal between him and Shen Si, only the feelings he'd secretly harbored for Shen Si for a long time...

Married-life bonus scene:

One day, President Fu handed Shen Si his will, his face deathly pale.

Shen Si: "What's that supposed to mean? Dividing up the assets before we're even divorced?"

President Fu: "Sisi, don't be sad when I die. Take this money and live well."

Shen Si: "Did you get your test results? Did the doctor say you're in critical condition?"

President Fu: "I looked it up online. These symptoms are a precursor to a heart attack. Just in case..."

Shen Si said seriously: "Old Fu, water boils at a hundred degrees. People die at a hundred degrees."

Ji Ge, infamous for being a dud, was unable to successfully transform into a beast. His family cast him out as a "genetic-chain reject."

Fine, then. The elegant young man dragged his suitcase aboard a spaceship bound for Origin Star without looking back.

Why become an Altered when teaching and nurturing talent is so much better?

Two strange teachers arrived at Origin Star's First Academy.

One was the homeroom teacher of Class Six, a young man who looked as though a strong breeze might knock him over, yet took his students to challenge the Altered every day.

Sometimes he'd spar with the homeroom teacher of the Altered class, and sometimes he'd take on the local toughs who'd tried to rob his students. Today, he'd beat the Altered; tomorrow, he'd be looking to fight a beast.

And yet the students in Class Six treasured this teacher, treating him like a precious heirloom, terrified he'd get even the slightest scratch or fall. They protected him like royalty.

If they heard anyone say a single bad word about Teacher Ji, they'd swarm over to stand up for their homeroom teacher.

Students from the other classes waited gleefully for the clueless kids in Class Six to be worked into a hospital stay by their unreliable homeroom teacher.

The other was a new instructor in the academic affairs office, with a peerlessly handsome face that always wore the faintest hint of a smile.

His cold gaze made even other teachers nervous, constantly wondering whether they'd broken a school rule.

Only the ailing-looking Teacher Ji from Class Six dared to approach him with a cheerful grin and provoke him.

All the teachers waited for the instructor to give the reckless Teacher Ji a demerit and issue a disciplinary order.

The students and teachers waited with bated breath. They waited until Class Six, competing as ordinary humans, won the interstellar interschool tournament against a crowd of beast-transformers, and Teacher Ji was still fine.

They waited until a genetic disaster broke out and the school was besieged by Altered who had lost their minds, and Teacher Ji was still fine.

They waited until... later, when a legend began to circulate throughout the stars.

The legend said that on ancient Origin Star, the immortal planetary lord who stood at the top of the genetic chain had a beloved hidden in the palm of his hand.

The legend said that for his beloved, the domineering lord had turned the rules of the genetic chain upside down, allowing ordinary people to stand once more at the forefront of evolution.

The legend said...

As for the legendary beloved hidden in the palm of his hand, he was now clutching his collar in disarray, hurriedly trying to hide the marks on his neck. All he wanted was to spit out: "If you're eating, then eat. Why are you pulling at my clothes?!"

The other man's eyes were deep as he slowly wiped the blood from his lips, looking thoroughly satisfied. His smile was peerlessly captivating. "Ever heard of playing with fire and getting burned?"

Who could resist a meal that came to him willingly and kept flirting right in front of him? Lou Yanbei, for one, couldn't.
