Bai You had been in the entertainment industry for years, yet he returned to being a complete unknown.
Unable to make any money in showbiz, his gold-digging father bundled him up and sent him to marry into the powerful Sheng family.
The big shot was named Sheng Xi. He was handsome and wealthy, but he also had a kid.
Bai You didn't care. As long as there was money, that was good enough.
After the wedding, he was asked to take his husband's son, Dandan, on a family reality show to help them bond.
"Dandan is a little... unusual," the big shot said hesitantly. "Please bear with him."
Looking at the money that had just hit his account, Bai You: ...
This is hilarious. I'll get the job done, guaranteed.

Sheng Dan was the crown prince of an empire, but he died young due to his frail health. Before his death, he sincerely prayed that he could reunite with his parents in his next life.
When he opened his eyes again, he discovered that he had transmigrated. The good news: his Imperial Father was still his Imperial Father. The bad news: his Imperial Father had lost his Imperial Consort.
To bring his fathers' romance back to life, he was determined to shine on the reality show!
On the show, Sheng Dan did his best to show off, trying to let the world see his regal bearing.
When reciting poetry, while the other kids were still learning their characters, Sheng Dan had already recited ten poems. To a chorus of astonished exclamations, he modestly said it was all thanks to his dad, then recited ten more;
During a race, he tripped and fell flat on his bottom. He didn't cry or fuss. While everyone else was crying, he dusted himself off and got up, then went back to help Bai You, who had fallen behind. "Dad, you're amazing! Don't be scared. We've already run so far!"
He got up at six in the morning. While the other kids were still making a fuss, he got dressed and ate breakfast on his own. He even thoughtfully laid out clothes and snacks for Bai You, tucked him in, then shushed the camera very quietly. "Dad doesn't sleep well. Don't wake him."
The audience all said they wanted a kid like that, too.
[Which direction should I bow toward to get a kid like this?]
[Waaah, I'm so jealous. Other people's kids really are the best!]
Bai You could only respond meekly, "Oh, I didn't really do anything."
It's just the usual kisses, hugs, praise, lifting him up high, and teaching him good values. Isn't that perfectly normal when it comes to a kid?

Thanks to the reality show, Bai You became a sensation, and offers poured in. After years in the industry, he finally got his chance to shine.
At the awards ceremony, Sheng Xi kissed his fingertips like a knight kissing a princess. "Congratulations. You've finally gotten what you wished for."
Bai You smiled faintly, tugged his tie, and gave him a deep kiss. "Congratulations to you, too. You've won the beauty's heart."
The audience: ? So you don't consider us outsiders, huh?
#Kisses aren't enough, we want to see more!#
#We're VIPs, what's wrong with wanting paid content?#
[Choose your own sweetness and angst]
Mutual devotion, both pure in love, high-tech childbirth, a kid from ancient times in the modern world
