Completed: I Was a Perpetual Has-Been, but Farming Made Me Famous Again

A newly transformed little koi smacked right into a rock and transmigrated.

He became the only lucky koi in the entire interstellar world.

But his original body had been a little mermaid who turned into sea foam!

The little koi clung to his guardian's leg, sobbing.

To win his guardian over,

Little Koi: Lucifer, I'll sing for you~

Lucifer's mental powers were driven into a frenzy by his singing.

Little Koi: Lucifer, I'll cook for you~

Lucifer frowned slightly as he ate the entire plate of blackened food.

Little Koi: Lucifer~ I don't know how to do my homework~

Lucifer: Forget it. I'll do it for him.

Rumor had it that Imperial Marshal Lucifer was cruel and cold, and disliked delicate merfolk.

Almost no merfolk in the entire Empire wanted to be matched with him.

And the one he was matched with was a badly behaved little fish from a remote planet.

Later, people discovered that the cold marshal would

accompany his little mermaid on shopping trips,

eat the food his little mermaid disliked without batting an eye,

and even let him play with the marshal's mecha!

The little koi acted cute and coquettish.

Citizens: Aww, he's so adorable!

A sea monster emerged, putting the merfolk's home in grave danger and throwing the Empire into panic.

The little koi wielded his huge blade and chopped through the sea monsters like vegetables,

leaving them wailing for their mothers.

Little Koi: My hand hurts. Rub it for me~

Sea Monster: My head hurts too, damn it!

Citizens: !!!

Blurb for My Flopped Fish Life Went Viral After I Slacked Off on a Kids' Variety Show

Su Shi'an, an obscure celebrity barely known even in the entertainment industry's eighteenth tier, transmigrated into a melodramatic rich-family novel.

He was the villainous CEO's doomed, pampered wife and the rich family's stepfather.

Su Shi'an nearly spat blood. What is this, a stack of debuffs?!

Online, Su Shi'an was hated by everyone. His acting was terrible, he was a country bumpkin and a human bumper car,

and he'd married an old rich man for money.

Looking at all the scandals flying around online, Su Shi'an gave up completely.

I'm quitting the industry! My rich husband has plenty of money!

Agent: Su Shi'an, take the kid to the set tomorrow!

Su Shi'an: No! I want to be a kept man!

Agent: The penalty is twenty million!

Su Shi'an: I'll ask my husband for it!

Gu Mingsheng: I'm broke.

With tears in his eyes, Su Shi'an had no choice but to take his rich stepson on a parenting variety show.

Everyone else's kids were sweet, adorable little princesses, clever little darlings.

His kid just kept calling, "Su Shi'an, Su Shi'an."

On the first day of filming, Gu Xiaomi gained a headstrong young master as his number-one anti-fan.

Su Shi'an: I'm tired. I'm over it. Let's both go nuts!

Watching Gu Xiaomi throw a tantrum, he pulled out his phone, filmed him on the spot, and posted it to his social media.

Embarrassed, Gu Xiaomi could only scramble back to his feet.

Gu Xiaomi sat down by the roadside and refused to walk.

Su Shi'an sat down too, and even remembered to buy himself a milk tea.

Su Shi'an was committed to the idea that you shouldn't make life hard for yourself just because a kid has it tough, and slacked off with abandon.

We're both people for the first time. Why should I give in to you?

Online commenters accused Su Shi'an of being an abusive stepfather.

But Gu Xiaomi, who used to have everything done for him, learned to get dressed,

clean the house, pull weeds and water flowers in the vegetable garden,

and even make breakfast for his lazy stepfather.

Anti-fans: Kid, did you forget the mission the organization gave you?!

Bonus Scenes

Other dads helped their kids complete tasks to earn chocolate.

Face-Saving Su: Kid, we don't need any. It'll give you a toothache.

Other dads helped their kids make dinner to earn money for living expenses.

Hopeless-at-Cooking Su: Kid, no rush. Just wait and eat.

Other dads read stories to help their kids fall asleep.

Lazy Su: Kid, we don't need stories. Let's count the stars.

Gu Mingsheng visited the set and almost failed to recognize his own kid, who had turned into a little black coal ball.

"Hubby! You're here!" Su, the pampered little wife, hurried over to cling to his leg.

Gu Mingsheng held his little wife, his eyes full of possessive confidence.

Netizens: Who said Su the Lazy Fish's husband was an old man?!

That's clearly the CEO of the Gu Group!!!
