Jiang Cucu had just won Best Actress when she transmigrated into a childcare variety-show novel modeled on her. The problem was, the novel had been written by her haters.

The female lead, Shi Shushu, was her nemesis. After marrying into a wealthy family, she treated her stepson as her own and won widespread praise.

Jiang Cucu, on the other hand, was the birth mother who schemed her way into marrying an award-winning actor, then constantly beat and berated her own daughter. Online commenters wished she would just drop dead.

The two of them appeared together on Dad's Not Home. Thanks to the show, Shi Shushu found success in both love and career.

As the birth mother in the contrasting role, Jiang Cucu was exposed, her once-famous actor husband divorced her, and she ended up with nothing, jumping from a tall building.

Looking at the tiny, curly-haired version of herself in front of her, Jiang Cucu secretly rejoiced. She could be a mom without the pain of childbirth? What a deal!

She knew how to raise a kid. The child still had a long life ahead, so of course the good food and drink should go to her first. And naturally, she had to find ways to mess with the kid.

At the mall, she spotted a toddler leash and turned her eager gaze to the child beside her. "Congcong, it's dangerous outside. Why don't we..."

The kid looked at her and sighed like a little adult. "You're impossible." Then she picked out a pink one herself.

After a flurry of activity, Jiang Cucu looked at the leash fastened to her own back. Was something not quite right here?

The comments flew by:

[Adults these days are so hard to handle.]

[I can confirm the leash did it by itself. Congcong had nothing to do with it.]

[You have to start training the domineering CEO young.]

[When I took my graduate school entrance exam, I sat next to Congcong.]

Jiang Congcong had a secret: she could smell the different scents each person gave off.

Her dad smelled like fresh cabbage. Her mom usually smelled like rotten pears.

When Congcong was two, her mom took her on an outing and smelled like pear blossoms filling the sky, just like that day. Afterward, her mom's scent changed back.

When Congcong was six, she woke up one morning to find her mom smelled of pear blossoms again.

To stop her from leaving again, Jiang Congcong picked up the long-neglected book How to Be a Proper Human Toddler.

On the show with her pear-blossom-scented mom, they passed an old man selling candy figurines. Jiang Cucu slowed her steps, but filming the show had left her short on cash.

Congcong glanced up at her, tugged the leash to stop in front of the old man, then turned to ask the production crew, "Can I borrow some money?"

Once they agreed, Congcong deftly unfastened the leash and ran without hesitation to a locust tree a short distance away.

With a stern little face, she held out her hand. "Give me money."

Yu Chuanyao met Jiang Cucu's gaze from where she stood, gave a snort, and waved the banknotes in her hand.

It was just enough to buy one candy figurine.

Congcong took another look at the coiled-up dragon and said without hesitation, "Grandpa, I'll have a little monster."

Yao Fuqing awakened to the truth and discovered she was a background character in multiple novels.

There was no legendary System, no golden finger, and not even any spoilers beyond a rough outline.

As for the wealth she'd accumulated, it was simply the pay she'd earned through years of diligently playing a background character.

To keep her fortune growing steadily every day, Yao Fuqing had a fit of anger, got over it, and started bouncing around the melon field.

For instance, the top actress under her management lost her memory and mistook her enemy for her housekeeper.

Her playgirl friend accidentally kissed her boyfriend's older brother, and then both men pressured her to marry them.

Her business partner's lovesick kept woman picked up a dragon-slaying blade for her sugar daddy.

Her childhood friend, who had entered into a marriage of convenience, discovered that her husband might be a pervert with a cross-dressing fetish...

Yao Fuqing: "Burp." Being a background character is way better than being the protagonist!

Until one day, she realized the younger guy she'd casually rescued while gossiping was acting strange.

He was always there whenever she found juicy gossip.

Yao Fuqing's eyes filled with tears. At last, she'd found a fellow gossip-lover who was also a background character!

Xiu Mansheng is the villainous fake young master in a male-oriented novel about two young masters whose identities were switched.

He went through 99 cycles without managing to break the curse.

On his 100th return, Xiu Mansheng bared his fangs, bent on destroying the world.

A woman's gentle teasing came from outside, as sweet as heavenly music.

For the first time, he successfully pushed open that door.

A young woman stood outside, godlike, reaching out to him like a deity.

Xiu Mansheng heard her voice again:

[Tsk, where did this poor thing wander in from? I can't help feeling sorry for him.]

Xiu Mansheng grew wary.

But he kept running into her while taking revenge, and his enemies kept meeting unexpected downfalls.

Her inner voice always came through loud and clear:

[That's it? This is what high-level business warfare looks like?]

[I wish I had some sunflower seeds to snack on...]

[Listen to me, stop arguing! Fight, fight!]

Xiu Mansheng thought of himself as a fool for repeatedly testing her, as if facing a formidable enemy.

He scooted his little stool over beside her and, without warning, she stuffed a handful of sunflower seeds into his hand.

From then on, the ferocious beast sheathed its fangs and willingly bowed its head to her.
