A minor celebrity, Lu Zhihang, transmigrates into a book and becomes the cannon-fodder shou in a run-away-with-the-baby romance. Hoping to gain popularity, he takes the troublesome kid along to a parenting variety show. The awful father and son duo end up being mocked across the internet and driven out of the industry, living miserable lives in their old age.
Lu Zhihang, holding the already signed contract for the parenting show, meets the rebellious kid’s eyes. He can’t afford the breach-of-contract penalty, so how about he just slack off?
On the first day of the show, after being assigned a dilapidated wooden shack, the kid loses face and throws a tantrum when Lu Zhihang refuses his demand for the best house.
Lu Zhihang doesn’t argue or compete, and accepts the arrangement. "Should a real man let a girl stay here instead?"
The kid’s face turns red as he tries to hold back his tears.
On the second day, the kid loses a game and gets only a sweet potato and a potato for breakfast. He throws a fit and smashes his bowl.
Lu Zhihang picks up the food and gives the little one a handful of seeds. "Plant whatever you want to eat."
Wiping his tears, the kid counts and recounts the bean sprouts he grows. Anyone who wastes food will have him to answer to.
On the third day, the kid goes off to do a task by himself and comes back empty-handed.
Lu Zhihang stays calm. "It’s your first time going out on your own. You’ve already done great, little one!"
The kid’s ears turn red, and he chooses to take on the task again.
After the show airs, the tsundere kid who says one thing and means another, along with the beautiful, laid-back star, become a sensation. Countless people vie to become the kid’s new dad.

Gu Hanzhou, CEO of the Gu Group, sees the video and rushes over in a black Maybach. He politely knocks on the door. "Hello, could you open the door? I’m the kid’s father."
The person inside repeats the same answer time and again:
"If you think you’re the real dad, take a hair sample and line up on the right for a DNA test. If you want to be the new dad, take a number on the left, fill out your resume, and wait for a call at home."
Gu Hanzhou looks at the number dispenser by the door and presses the button.
The printer whirs and rattles. A ticket emerges from the slot, and Gu Hanzhou tears it off and takes a careful look:
Your current number: 1,758!
Gu Hanzhou: ...
