After His Tantrum Failed, Daddy Won Without Lifting a Finger

Coming Soon: [Fushiguro, Does Your Mom Need Another Kid?] [Win Over Teenage Gojo with Over-the-Top Compliments] Thank you to every lovely reader who has read this story. I started posting it in too much of a rush, and there are plenty of rough spots, but I put a lot of care into writing it. I welcome all negative reviews and ratings except for the issues listed below, so please read the warnings carefully before deciding whether to read. The list is long, but useful. Warnings: Unhinged fiction, shaky logic, not a fast-paced wish-fulfillment story, more focused on everyday life Parallel universe. Since the characters are raising kids, the timeline and some personalities differ slightly from the original. Please do not treat this as a reflection on canon. The female lead is Megumi's biological mother. Both leads are each other's only partners, and the male lead will be put in his place. A child-raising story. The kids include Gojo, Geto, Maki, Mai, and Megumi. An unconventional redemption story. Megumi's dad and Megumi try to win over the female lead in reverse, while the other kids are competing to claim her. There is a System, but it is just set dressing. Both leads are awful people. About Naoya: Read through Chapter 18 before discussing him. He's still Toji's number one fanboy, but the process of becoming one has changed. It didn't start when he was a child. A little spoiler: one of the bonus chapters will feature an alternate-universe storyline where Naoya becomes Toji's son. Blurb: What is the meaning of being alive? Toji thinks it's probably just to keep living for the sake of living. He can't find a reason to live, but he can't find a reason to die either, so he might as well carry on. He is used to drowning himself in all kinds of pleasure, living in a state of numbness. He's always believed he has no heart. It isn't until he impulsively binds himself to two Systems just to pass the time and meets a woman named Qian Huili that he realizes how terribly wrong he was. It began with desire, and he remains true to desire. He can't escape it. But she truly has no heart. Choosing to play an emotional game with her was the stupidest, most fatal decision he ever made. Excerpt 1 Little Megumi runs up to Qian Huili. "Mom, Mom, I'll turn into a cute little dog for you to play with!" Megumi's face turns red as he struggles to summon a puppy version of the Divine Dogs, hoping for praise. Qian Huili gives it a casual glance and says, "Much cuter than your dad." Megumi beams. "Really?" Qian Huili: "No." Megumi looks wronged.jpg Qian Huili gently rubs the top of Megumi's head. "Keep trying. Maybe you can turn into a new dad and replace the one you've got." Excerpt 2 Toji thinks Megumi's arrival will change his twisted relationship with Qian Huili. And it does. That brat is competing with him for his wife, and he's winning by a landslide! Toji rests his head on Qian Huili's lap. "The Zenin family is offering a lot to buy that brat. If you don't mind, I'll take the money." Qian Huili looks down and ruffles his hair. "It's up to you." Toji laughs inwardly. He knew Qian Huili was sick of that kid too. One day, while Toji is away on a mission with Curse Womb: Death Painting, Megumi looks at his mother as she wordlessly packs his clothes. "Mom, are you getting rid of me?" Qian Huili glances at Megumi. "Yeah. I'm getting rid of your father." One last note: Take my advice and read at your own risk. Theme: Redemption
