The Spoiled Stepfather of a Powerful Family Goes Viral After Failing to Care for His Kid

After waking up from a car accident, Chu Yi discovers that he has transmigrated into a melodramatic rich-family novel as an over-the-top stepfather. The original owner would go to the ER over a paper cut, call an ambulance for a cold, and throw a crying, tantrum-throwing fit if his troublesome stepson so much as pouted. In the end, he became so insufferable that everyone turned against him.

The plot ahead has him taking his rich family's troublesome stepson onto a variety show, where he will make a fuss over mistreating the kid and drive the production crew crazy. His antics will earn him a wave of haters online, and get him cursed out on the trending charts.

Chu (who rules the world): "..."

Nothing to fear!

The first day of filming.

At mealtime, his stepson pushes his little bowl off the table from halfway down the long dining table, then throws his spoon into Chu Yi's bowl. He insists Chu Yi wash it clean before he will eat.

Netizens: [Chu Yi's going to make a fuss for three days straight.]

Instead, Chu Yi walks over and calmly throws both the stepson and his bowl and spoon into the trash. "If you don't want to eat, then don't."

Then, as his stepson cries and wails loud enough to shake the heavens, Chu Yi calmly eats his meal.

His stepson eats too much ice cream and gets a stomachache. He doesn't want a shot, and accidentally scratches Chu Yi's arm while struggling.

Netizens: [Chu Yi's going to have himself admitted to the ICU.]

Chu Yi calmly holds his stepson down until he gets the shot. Then, while the family doctor watches on full alert, he puts on a bandage.

His stepson throws a fit during a game on the show, lying on the floor and crying so hard he gets hiccups.

Netizens: [Chu Yi's going to cry in grievance and make a ton of phone calls.]

Chu Yi elegantly takes a sip of coffee, records a video without changing expression, and sends it to his wealthy husband, whom he's never met.

-Boo-hoo, raising a kid is so exhausting. Only money can soothe my wounded heart.

Hiding in the nanny's arms, his stepson points at Chu Yi and sobs, "He's a bad person! I don't want him as my little dad."

Chu Yi gives him a cool glance. That's all it takes to break you? This is nothing.

Later, the words out of Sheng Xiaxia's mouth change to: "Little Dad, I ate all my food today." (Looking for praise)

"Little Dad, this toy is so much fun. Come play with me." (Looking for company)

"Little Dad, make sure you have fun at the amusement park today." (Showing sincerity)

She even reminds her father, when he gets back from a business trip, to be nicer to her little dad. In particular: "Listen, you absolutely mustn't make Little Dad angry. You'd better do what he says."

"Him?" Sheng Ze, the rebellious, domineering CEO, gives a cold laugh. "What if I insist on making him angry?"

Surely Chu Yi wouldn't dare make a scene with him.

Then, outside the bedroom door, the domineering CEO, who is completely wrapped around his wife's finger, begs pathetically: "I was wrong. Can you let me in first?"

"I miss you so much."

Netizens: "..."

[You were kicked out less than three minutes ago!]
