"Are the Little Ones Home Yet?" is a variety show for kids, packed with big shots and bursting with buzz.
Among its young guests are a prodigy whose poetry collections have become bestsellers, a research genius who finished high school chemistry at six, a musical prodigy who's already toured, and a seven-year-old CEO in the making...
Only Qingyuan, who has neither father nor mother, seems drab and out of place among all the other impressive kids.
He has dimples when he smiles, and he's gentle, pretty, and soft-spoken.
"My name is Qingyuan. I came from the temple."
Everyone assumes Qingyuan won't fit in, that the other kids will shun him and make him the pitiful loser by comparison.
But once the show begins, Qingyuan leaves everyone dumbfounded:
The sharp-tongued, aloof little scientist follows him around like a puppy.
The solitary, lazy young writer is willing to get up early just to watch the sunrise with him.
And the musical prodigy, who came to the show with nothing but a little backpack, writes songs exclusively for Qingyuan, each one unique to him.
Even the audience is won over by his smarts and sweetness.
[Aaaaah, Auntie wants to give you a kiss!]
[Such a good temper and such a great memory! He's so sweet and adorable!]

What no one knows is that Qingyuan used to be a young Taoist priest.
He opened his eyes and transmigrated into the kids' variety show, where the other impressive children were the senior brothers he had once relied on to survive.
In that bitterly cold winter, Qingyuan was the only one to cross the snow-covered mountain road to reach them. He smiled warmly and sweetly as he held out his hand.
"Don't be sad, Senior Brothers. I'm here."
A note before you watch:
1. The entire main cast transmigrates. This is a modern urban setting with no Taoist magic.
2. A story about everyone doting on one person, with cute everyday moments where cuteness is justice. I'll try to keep the characters sensible, but readers don't need to overthink it.
3. The charming, heterochromatic third senior brother x the sweet, angelic young Taoist priest. No shipping wars. A sweet romance, with no romance before adulthood.
Theme: A harmonious family brings success in everything.
