A Max-Level Casanova Becomes the Abusive Novel's Bottom's Stepfather

Shi Yi is a top star and a playboy. The sea may have no water in it, but it's full of fish.

After years of fooling around without ever getting caught, he never thought he'd finally crash and burn.

The day it happened, he was on his way to accept the Golden Deer Award. Once he won it, he'd be the youngest actor in the entertainment industry to achieve a grand slam.

But, unfortunately, he got into a car accident on the way. When he opened his eyes again, he found he'd transmigrated into a book.

And not just any character: he'd become the stepmother... no, stepfather of the abused protagonist!

As the stepfather, he gets a million a month in living expenses, has a husband who never comes home, and a stepson who's already grown up.

Shi Yi thinks, What am I waiting for? Time to live it up!

But all it took was one more look at his hapless stepson's ending in the book to make his teeth grind with anger.

In the novel, this stepfather goes out of his way to abuse his stepson, making the abused protagonist's story even more worthy of the word "abuse."

How should I put it? This character is practically the embodiment of an evil witch.

Even so, he's just an appetizer. The one who really puts the protagonist through hell is the male lead.

Forget emotional torment. The full package includes cheating with a stand-in for his first love and being cuckolded.

And then, as a bonus, there's a group sex scene right in front of him. Tell me, wouldn't you be furious?

Shi Yi is about to explode. If that scumbag dared strut around in front of him, he'd slap him into next week.

And a redemption arc?

He'd be lucky if Shi Yi didn't scatter his ashes to the wind!

As a fine young man who's spent years playing the field, Shi Yi decides to tear up the script and take his stepson with him to explore a whole new ocean.

So, when he finds his stepson sneaking off to cry in a dark room, Shi Yi waves a hand, gets into a convertible, and takes him to party all night at the fanciest bar in A City.

His stepson says, "Dad, I have to go home and do laundry. I haven't washed today's clothes yet."

Shi Yi says, "What? Not enough?"

He turns to shout to the bar manager, "Get two more handsome guys for my son!"

His stepson: "..."

When he realizes his son isn't having enough fun and keeps trying to think about that not-yet-fully-formed scumbag, Shi Yi despairs of him. He uses the money the original owner squeezed out of his stepson's father to produce a travel reality show called Brothers, Charge Ahead!

When filming begins, the handsome guys Shi Yi arranged dote on his stepson the whole way. Meanwhile, Shi Yi sets his sights on an aloof beauty who insists on giving him money for publicity.

The beauty is mature and refined, proper and self-possessed, with an alluring sensuality in every move.

Shi Yi is smitten.

But he can't cheat while married, so he flirts with him now and then just for fun.

Song Bojian hears that Shi Yi is putting together a reality show and casually invests a little money so he can check it out.

He never expects that once he comes, he won't be able to leave.

His wife is so hot... no, so flirtatious... no, so good at this.

Although he's a tiny bit tempted, he can't help feeling a tiny bit cuckolded.

Don't ask why. It's because his wife doesn't even recognize him, and keeps flirting with him like crazy.

The bottom was a playboy before transmigrating into the book. He's slept with men and women, but never loved anyone.

After transmigrating, he's married, so he can flirt but can't actually sleep around. He flirts with a handsome guy, only to find out it's his own husband. He still can't top him, so he can only get topped. In the end, the playboy settles down. Can you believe it?

(Shi Yi: I'm so mad.)
