The Laid-Back One Became Famous After Slacking Off on a Parenting Show

New novel: The Farmer's Little Husband

Su Shi'an, an obscure celebrity, transmigrated into a melodramatic wealthy-family novel.

He was the villainous CEO's cannon-fodder little wife and the rich family's stepdad.

Su Shi'an nearly spat up blood. What is this, stacking buffs?

The whole internet hated Su Shi'an. He was a terrible actor, a country bumpkin, and a crash-test dummy.

He'd married an old rich man for money.

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

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

Manager: Su Shi'an, bring the kid to the set tomorrow!

Su Shi'an: No! I want to be a freeloader.

Manager: The penalty for breaking your contract 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 wealthy stepson to a variety show about kids.

Everyone else's kids were obedient, adorable little princesses, brilliant little sweethearts.

His kid just kept going, “Su Shi'an, Su Shi'an.”

On the first day of filming, Gu Xiaomi earned himself a rich young master as the head of his anti-fan club.

Su Shi'an was tired and over it. Let's both go crazy!

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

Gu Xiaomi was too embarrassed, so he sheepishly got up.

Gu Xiaomi threw a fit and sat down by the roadside, refusing to walk.

Su Shi'an sat down too, and even bought himself a cup of milk tea.

Su Shi'an stuck to the belief that you shouldn't make life hard for yourself just because life is hard for a kid, and shamelessly gave up trying.

It's both our first time being human, so why should I have to indulge you?

Online commenters attacked Su Shi'an for abusing his stepson.

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 freeloader stepdad.

Anti-fans: Kid, have you forgotten the mission the organization gave you?!

Just as anti-fans were insulting Su Shi'an's husband for being an old man,

Gu Mingsheng walked into the camera frame during the livestream.

Su Shi'an: Gu Mingsheng, where's the shirt I can wear with a collar?!

Gu Mingsheng: I packed it in your suitcase.

Su Shi'an: This is your fault. Yesterday, I told you to bite lower, lower,

and you bit right above my collarbone!

[Bro, your mic is still on...]

[Who said Su Pingping's husband was an old man?!]

[Ooh... You two are really into some exciting stuff!]

Blurb for The Farmer's Little Husband

Lin Yu was all alone when he went to seek refuge at his uncle's home. Every day, he had to get up before dawn to work. He never had enough to eat, and rarely even saw meat.

Lin Yu grew more and more handsome, and his cousin began looking at him in an increasingly unsettling way. After his aunt noticed, it took only a few days before she married him off to a poor hunter in the neighboring village.

Lin Yu had heard that Wei Qingshan had a bad reputation, so he could only accept his fate. He had expected a terrifying, ill-tempered man who would be hard to get along with. But on their wedding day, seeing the handsome man sitting helplessly by the bed, Lin Yu was stunned.

Married life wasn't as difficult as Lin Yu had imagined. At least, he no longer had to go hungry or live in fear. Wei Qingshan wouldn't even let him do hard labor. He fed him an egg every day, and always saved the chicken leg for him.

The two of them raised chicks and ducklings in front of their dilapidated thatched cottage, bought some land and a mule cart, and replaced their old cottage with a house tiled in green. Their little life flourished.

Wei Qingshan was the eldest in a family that never favored him. His hard-earned savings were spent by his mother on a wedding for her younger son. When he fell ill, it was difficult even to get a string of coins. Heartbroken, Wei Qingshan left the family with nothing.

Somehow, rumors spread that he was cursed to bring death to his wives. On top of that, he was poor, and had yet to marry even after turning twenty. It wasn't until he married the frail young husband that he learned food could be warm, a bed could be cozy, and a young husband could be soft...

But his little husband was too thin. When they were in bed together, he didn't dare move, afraid of hurting him. He would have to hunt more game and fatten his little husband up.

Theme: Live in harmony and friendship, and be generous toward others.
