Kiddo, Daddy Loves You [Showbiz]

[Ongoing] Please add my novel End-of-the-World Survival, But I Start with an S-Rank Skill to your library! Please add my upcoming novel The Strongest Resource Darling in History to your library!

Xu Fangheng, the second son of the Xu family in Haishi, is a Beta blessed with an older brother's protection. He receives dividends worth over a hundred million every year and has always lived a carefree life.

But when a sudden upheaval strikes his family, he has no choice but to shoulder the burden. Suppressing his true nature, he transforms himself into a domineering CEO, spending every day dealing with Alphas and suffering under immense stress.

To relieve that stress, Mr. Xu accidentally falls into the world of idol survival shows. But he joins too late and can only watch as his favorite little idol gets pushed out of a debut spot by a royal favorite.

Outraged, Mr. Xu sees that the idol's company is selling photo cards, and that the company's top-selling artist will get a solo single. With a wave of his hand, he lets 200,000 slip through his fingers.

The little idol rockets to first place. The fans are dumbstruck, Mr. Xu feels wonderful, and all his pent-up stress vanishes.

From then on, Mr. Xu becomes the little idol's biggest money-spending fan, setting off down a one-way road of spending money to relieve stress.

Fan club leader: Our boy's releasing a single! The top ten on this week's sales chart get to perform on a music show. Sisters with the means, raise a flag and send our boy on the road to stardom!

Mr. Xu: What does raising a flag mean? Top ten in sales... Is a million enough?

Fan club leader: Our boy's first magazine cover! One second to sell ten thousand, fifty thousand in an hour isn't asking too much, right, sisters?

Mr. Xu: What does one second to sell mean? Forget it, never mind. Fifty thousand copies, right?

As the saying goes, spend enough money and you'll develop feelings (not really). Mr. Xu's gaze at the little idol gradually changes, until he can no longer resist calling him over, giving him gifts and resources, and wanting to appear on a variety show together.

The show is called One Big Family, and Mr. Xu's role is the head of the family, otherwise known as Dad.

Xu Fangheng always thought his boy was a Beta who looked like an Omega. He might seem cocky and brash, but really, he was a sweet little thing, soft and adorable.

Until one night during the variety show, a sudden wave of pheromones swept through the entire villa, causing a commotion. The culprit ran into his room, sobbing as he clung to Xu Fangheng and nuzzled against him.

Only then did Xu Fangheng realize that no matter how cute someone was as a minor, if he looked like an Alpha after coming of age, then he was an Alpha.

Back then.

Little idol: I'd rather die than be humiliated. Dream on if you think you can keep me!

Xu Fangheng: My boy, Daddy loves you (fondly).

Now.

Xu Fangheng: You just have to talk back, don't you? Do you know you're being disrespectful to your elder?

Little idol: I'm very good at pushing back... and pushing into you.

[Welcome to the End-of-the-World Survival Game]

[Newbie task: Find a safe house within ten minutes]

Ji Li, the king of overwork, enters a survival game while delivering takeout. He opens his eyes to a zombie right in his face, owns nothing, and gets betrayed by another player.

After finally completing the task, his only rewards are a steamed bun and a beat-up car.

Luckily, his luck explodes when he draws a talent and gets an S-Rank skill: Copy.

Other players: Scavenge and complete tasks, never knowing whether they'll have food tomorrow.

Ji Li: Copy the quest item once, copy the quest reward once, then copy it again before storing it... Huh? Why's my inventory full?

Hostile players: He's a lone wolf. How many items could he have? Once we find his safe house, all that loot will be ours!

Ji Li: A safe-house defense doubler, reset cards, invisibility items, a ghost maze, and powerful fog... There's too much stuff in the storage room. Once we finish off this batch of "deliveries," let's trade the spoils for points.

With his Copy skill, Ji Li clears one apocalyptic world after another, never worrying about food or drink. His mobile safe house reaches the highest level, and he arms himself from head to toe.

[Skill upgraded. Copy LV2: The more, the merrier]

[Skill description: Each time you use this skill, there's a chance of a critical hit, increasing the number of copies made]

Ji Li: System-exclusive items for sale! Gene modification serums, stat-boosting weapons, and healing cards. Highest bidder wins!

System: ...

When Ji Li first drew his S-Rank skill, he thought he could lie flat from then on. Who could have guessed the System could upgrade even a children's toy he picked up?! But upgrading items costs a ridiculous amount, they're limited in quantity, and they can't be copied.

After finally leveling the toy up to max, it vanished in the blink of an eye!

Ji Li: ??? Weren't you supposed to be my Jarvis?!

Some toy: Loading... Ji Li's favorites: long legs, broad shoulders and a slim waist, eight-pack abs, white hair and blue-green eyes, plus study materials for the Eighteen Positions of Male-Male Love... Download complete.

[Upcoming] Please add my novel The Strongest Resource Darling in History to your library!

Ling Chuan is a rookie actor. As soon as he joins the production, the male lead's manager has him smeared with black powder. The male lead can't keep up with him in their first scene, causing dozens of NGs. After filming that scene, Ling Chuan is told he's been fired. Before he even gets home, he sees a press release claiming that the male lead did dozens of NGs for his sake and is dedicated to his work.

Ling Chuan: ... Just destroy it all! This world belongs to the heirs and heiresses!

Just as Ling Chuan is about to give up his dream of acting and switch to making online content, a mysterious System descends from the sky. He becomes Huaguo's representative in the Civilization War and draws a skill:

Summon characters he's played to help him clear challenges.

After seeing the reward for clearing a challenge, Ling Chuan thinks for just 0.1 seconds, then picks up his phone and calls 12339.

The next day, Ling Chuan returns to the set in the male lead's makeup and costume and gives the director a nod.

"Go get me a fruit platter."

An anonymous forum.

-- Who's the money behind Ling Chuan? The biggest IP in male-oriented fiction, Strange Tales, just announced an adaptation, and he's the male lead again!

-- For real?! Yay! My favorite series is safe!

-- Why Ling Chuan again? Over the past few years, he's acted in everything from female-oriented dramas to male-oriented ones, and from serious historical dramas to myth adaptations. They're all big-budget productions with famous directors and screenwriters!

-- Exactly! He's hogging all the good scripts. The rest of us can't even get a taste!

-- I don't know what you people are whining about. Ling Chuan can act, has big investors, and won't let the adaptation butcher the original. I'm begging him to play the lead in my favorite series!

-- Wait, you're still wasting time complaining about Ling Chuan? The news just said the country has successfully developed a warp engine, established an Interstellar Aerospace Academy, and is training people to specialize in space travel!

-- I understand all that, but why is Ling Chuan the academy's honorary president?
