He comes from a wealthy family, has lost both parents, and was raised to adulthood with handouts from his several CEO brothers. At long last, one day, after watching him sleep for twenty hours straight, make no progress in his studies, and accomplish nothing, his brothers decide to stop indulging him. "We've signed you up for a show. Go experience the hardships of life." A new subject joins the reality show Metamorphosis: Chi Ling, age seventeen. Seeing his extravagant clothes and palatial apartment, everyone sneers. "He's just a rich kid. Aside from money and a pretty face, he's got nothing." Sharp-eyed netizens point out, "Tsk, tsk. He's just here to polish his image and use this as a chance to debut, isn't he?" When viewers assume that this pampered boy won't be able to stomach the boiled greens, cucumbers, and potatoes in the countryside, Chi Ling lifts his bowl and says, "This is practically paradise." His rural host parents are stunned. What kind of life did this kid have in the city, eating grass? Everyone knows he's poorly educated, has no diploma, and is just a useless pretty face. After the show has been on for a while, they realize there's nothing to criticize about his character, so they attack his education instead. A hater says, "He's a nice guy, but sadly he's got no brains. I heard he gets zeros on every exam. And you people still treat this pretty waste like a treasure?" Not long afterward, they see the news: Chi Ling, who disappeared halfway through the show, has won the latest Math Olympiad. What's more, people dig up several scientific papers bearing his name, including papers in mathematics, biology, and more... Netizens ponder this. "I guess he's got a bit of a genius gene in him." Later, someone asks him how he found the show. Chi Ling: "Huh? What? Was it hard? It was okay. I just slept a little less, and the bed was harder." Before the show: * No temper, chronically unmotivated, reasonably smart, ultimate couch potato After the show: * Gentle and easygoing, unworldly and low-key, once-in-a-generation genius, peerless beauty Netizens gaze starry-eyed. "Oh my god, he's practically God's child, a chosen master of slacking off!" Chi Ling: "I don't want to debut. I don't want to sign a contract. I want to sleep." P.S. He will sign a contract, join a talent competition, and debut. Please add my new story in the same series, I Have Three CEO Brothers, to your reading list: Chi Ling wakes up one day to find he's become a child. Not only has his body reverted to that of an eight-year-old, he keeps getting sleepy and yawning. He's tired all day long, and his memories have grown fuzzy. His wonderful brothers are forced to take on the duty of looking after little Chi Ling. The eldest brother is a CEO who says one thing but does another. The second brother is a gentle, considerate host. The third brother is a research powerhouse and associate professor. And there are countless other unfamiliar but impressive older brothers: a delinquent who can fly, a police officer who can shoot... Chi Ling, once a slacker everyone disliked, suddenly becomes the family's darling and is about to begin a happy childhood. - Everyone knows the eldest son of the Chi family is cold and ruthless, indifferent to his family, and the very model of someone who cares for none of his relatives. At the Chi family's company, employees gossip: "The boss seems to have brought a kid in today." "Huh, whose kid? Doesn't he hate children? I heard he doesn't even care about his youngest brother." When the meeting begins, the eldest Chi brother sits solemnly at the head of the table, with a soft little child clinging to him. Just as the meeting is about to start, the child says, "I want candy." No one below dares to move. The eldest Chi brother keeps a straight face and orders his employees, "Didn't you hear him? He said he wants candy." Theme: Love life
