Interstellar Baby, Blue Star Goes Viral

A goofy, sickly, clueless beauty × a powerful man with a disability in both legs who graduated from the School of Virtuous Husbands

After a car accident, Song Qianshu discovers that he is living in an old-school melodramatic novel, as the foil to the fake young master of a wealthy family.

The fake young master has been doted on by everyone since childhood. In everyone's eyes, he is gentle and kind, an exemplary second-generation heir with excellent grades and conduct.

In the original novel, everyone likes him, from the protagonist gong to random passersby.

Even when it later comes to light that the fake young master is not the biological son of the wealthy couple, his adoptive parents don't abandon him. Instead, they dote on him even more.

As the foil, after Song Qianshu, the real young master, is brought back, his wealthy parents treat him with indifference, and the whole internet mocks him as someone with nothing going for him except his face.

In the original novel, the foil is resentful. He competes with the fake young master and opposes him at every turn, only to suffer face-slapping again and again.

He watches the fake young master and the protagonist gong have a one-night stand, run away while pregnant, enter a business marriage, and fall in love after marrying. The foil keeps trying to get close to the protagonist gong, and even goes so far as to marry the protagonist gong's disabled cousin, becoming the cheap stepdad to the cousin's son.

In the end, the foil is brutally dealt with by the domineering, possessive protagonist gong and his gloomy, cruel cousin, and meets a tragic end.

Song Qianshu accidentally learns the truth the morning after his wedding night with his disabled cousin.

Looking at the handsome face of the cousin sleeping beside him, Song Qianshu: "..."

Now that he has come to his senses, Song Qianshu wants to flee by train overnight. Unfortunately, he recently followed the fake young master's example and signed up for a parenting reality show. If he breaks the contract, he'll be left without even a pair of underpants.

Song Qianshu decides that if he can't afford to offend them, he can at least avoid them. He'll get through the show, then run away overnight.

When "Come on, Dad!" begins airing, everyone is waiting to laugh at the troublesome stepdad and the spoiled rich kid, expecting them to be outmatched at parenting by the gentle and kind fake young master. Instead, they see...

Song Qianshu diligently taking care of the child, getting up early to make breakfast for his stepson, only to produce a pile of disastrous dishes.

His stepson doesn't cry or throw tantrums. He even offers to help his stepdad make breakfast, only to nearly burn down the kitchen.

Looking at the icy river, Song Qianshu volunteers to go catch fish, then gets a leg cramp and falls into the water.

His stepson is catching loaches in the muddy bank. He hurries over to pull Song Qianshu out, only to tumble into the mud along with the loaches.

Netizens: What a lovely picture of a loving father and filial son.

The comments fill with laughter.

Just as this clueless duo grows more and more down-to-earth, providing 80 percent of the show's laughs, the tone quietly shifts.

Song Qianshu comes down with a fever at night. His stepson watches over him all night, accurately diagnoses his illness, and prescribes medicine and acupuncture.

When they go to the farmers' market to buy chicks and lambs to raise, the other families are at a loss. They don't know how to choose or what the prices should be, and can't even lead the lambs away.

The stepson calmly picks out the best-quality chicks and lambs, then negotiates a good price.

Song Qianshu takes the rope off a lamb's neck and uses the feed he brought along to get it to follow him on its own.

Netizens: What a lovely picture of a loving father and filial son.

The comments fill with jealous lemons.

#IncredibleKid, #BestFatherAndSonInChina, and #AFamilyEducationWhereBothSidesReachOutTogether repeatedly trend online.

Netizens (screaming) (twisting) (crawling around in the dark): I'm taking Shushu and the kid home tonight!

One day, the show invites the other half of each family to appear on camera.

The kid is held in the arms of a tall, devastatingly handsome man. He lifts his soft, chubby face proudly and says, "Daddy, you're no good. You still haven't won over Dad Shu. I'll let you in on a secret: I've already got Dad Shu on my side. He said he'll take me with him."

That evening, after a long search, the kid finally finds Dad Shu in a deserted corner of the village.

He is about to speak, but sees Daddy holding Dad Shu in his arms and kissing him passionately.

The kid's eyes widen in shock.

Huo Jingyun raises a hand to cover the kid's eyes and says in a low, hoarse voice, "This isn't for children."

The kid: "..."

The viewers watching the screen: "..."
