Who Wouldn't Want to Be a Rich Family's Stepdad?

[Pre-release: “Livestreaming the Scandalous Rich,” Save Me! Whoever Gets in the Way Gets Zapped] [This is a goofy little sweet treat. Thanks for reading!] Cheng Leyan had always lived recklessly and loved nothing but money. He could work five jobs at once if it meant making more. Then an accident suddenly killed him, and he transmigrated into a novel as a greedy, vicious stepfather who was destined to be cannon fodder. The original owner had married into a wealthy family to bring good fortune because their horoscopes matched, but his greed knew no bounds and he behaved abominably: he beat people at the Nanshan Rest Home and tormented his comatose husband; he kicked up a storm at the Beihai Kindergarten and abused his young stepson. The stepson would later become the novel's ultimate villain, while the original owner met a horribly gruesome end. Cheng Leyan: ...Yikes. Better get a divorce and run. As it turned out, his husband's mother came over and slapped a check down in front of him. “Your allowance for this month is one million. What was that you just said? Divorce?” Cheng Leyan grabbed the check and looked it over again and again. At last, he looked up and said with great enthusiasm, “Mom! You should've just come over. You didn't have to bring anything! Come, come, have a seat. Let me bow to you first.” Mrs. Rong sat up at two in the morning. Wait, is there something wrong with him? The future villain was currently just a soft, sweet little kid, with big eyes and long lashes. He was so, so, so adorable. Cheng Leyan couldn't control his wicked hands and pounced on the child. The little one trembled, thinking he was about to get beaten again. He never expected his stepfather to cover him in kisses and cuddles, lifting him up high and then rocking him around. As he rocked him, Cheng Leyan sang with exaggerated ups and downs, “Brrm, brrm, the rocking car is starting! Daddy's daddy is Grandpa, Daddy's mommy is Grandma~” The little one sat up at two in the morning. Wait, is he sick or something? * Rong Wangzhi had been in a vegetative state for a year after a car accident, never regaining consciousness. But one day, his hazy soul suddenly heard a lively voice: “Yahoo! A thunderous boom from the sky, and your loyal servant makes a dazzling entrance! Hubby, I'll protect your health from now on!” “Next, here's today's news. First story: A man in Qingdao was mistaken for a big fish while diving and got reeled ashore. After they untangled him, he went diving somewhere else and got caught again. Hahaha, hahahaha!” Rong Wangzhi: … What kind of nonsense is this? Who's your husband? Rong Wangzhi gradually began to hear more. Every day, he listened as his “wife” read him ridiculous news, recited motivational jokes, and tapped an electronic wooden fish to rack up cyber merit and help him meet the Mechanical Buddha sooner and ascend to online paradise. Rong Wangzhi: You're so thoughtful, darling. For some reason, his beloved was always worried their son would grow up to be a lovesick lawbreaker, so he kept giving him all sorts of advice: “Sweetie, what's the point of romance? It's so tacky! You should be talking about money.” “Sweetie, look at your biological dad. Handsome, right? With money, I could get ten male models just like him with one phone call!” Rong Wangzhi: ...Ten. I. Am. Waking. Up. Right. Now. *A goofy, money-obsessed bottom who works a bunch of jobs, paired with a super-rich CEO top who is incredibly generous and responds to the slightest disagreement by sending money, sending money, and sending more money. The child is not biologically theirs. *The grown-up child's pairing is Gu Qin. *A goofy comedy for laughs. I'll do whatever it takes to make it funny, so please forgive me if I sacrifice some logic for the sake of humor. *A lighthearted sweet story about raising a kid and falling in love. Thanks for reading! [Pre-release: “Livestreaming the Scandalous Rich,” Save Me! Whoever Gets in the Way Gets Zapped] The Cage is a melodramatic tale about the rich. On average, each character has one unattainable first love, two lovers, and three substitutes. At every banquet, someone is cheating, someone is catching them in the act, and someone is slapping someone else. Wen Weiliang had struggled his whole life. Only after dying from overwork did he learn that his world was actually a book like this. A! Book! Like! This! As the real young master of the Wen family, he did everything he could to win his family's approval, but he was always at odds with the whole world. The fake young master juggled any number of crazy men every day and somehow thrived, beloved by everyone. In the end, he died young, and the fake young master inherited everything in style. Wen Weiliang, reborn: Can't fucking believe it. (One second later) Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Fuck the whole world! A voice rang in his mind: [Welcome to the Livestream System. Your livestream will begin in thirty minutes. Build up your audience and exchange popularity for more time in this life.] Wen Weiliang: [Fuck you too! Livestream my ass. Go to hell!] System: [Calm down. Interfering with the livestream will result in electric-shock punishment.] Wen Weiliang's eyes lit up: [That's an option?] Half an hour later, Wen Weiliang went downstairs and started streaming. “Dear viewers, welcome to the Wen family home, the Wens of Wen Group. This is old man Wen. He made his fortune off his wife, but markets himself as an inspirational success story. This is Mrs. Wen, who thinks everyone wants her kappa-faced husband. And this is the Wen family's fake young master, who's dating four men at the same time. Come on, say hello to the viewers.” The three, who had been getting along so harmoniously, froze. “A livestream? Have you lost your mind!?” They jumped up to block the camera. Then the whole family twitched, contorted, and crawled around together as the System electrocuted them, yowling in pain. Wen Weiliang: Turn up the voltage! Strike down the darkness with the might of thunder!!! Wen Weiliang quickly figured out the rules. Blocking the camera, avoiding interviews, and insulting viewers were all behaviors the System classified as “interfering with the livestream.” And so the world of the wealthy got its harshest Thunder God. At the fake young master's birthday party, a crowd of people competed to show off. Wen Weiliang livestreamed “Animal World: The Rich in Mating Season,” narrating dramatically: “Spring is here, and once again, the white lotuses are ready to pollinate everything in sight...” In the end, eighteen people were electrocuted, and the livestream's popularity rose to level three. At a wedding between two wealthy families, the grooms professed their true love, moving the guests to tears. Wen Weiliang livestreamed “We Still Don't Know Who Slept with Whom Here” and forced people to answer questions: “Please answer honestly. Have you slept with either of the newlyweds?” In the end, forty-two people were electrocuted, and the livestream's popularity rose to level five. At a charity gala for the wealthy, Wen Weiliang livestreamed an awards ceremony. The Most Substitutes Award, the Cheapest Sugar Daddy Award, the Shortest Relationship Award... He called out the winners and summoned them to the stage. Any acceptance speech containing too many insults toward someone's mother was treated as an insult to the viewers. In the end, 198 people were electrocuted, and the livestream's popularity rose to level ten. Viewers: (excited) (going wild) (spreading the word) What are you streaming next, Wen? The wealthy: We'll get down on our knees! Please leave us alone, okay? Please??? [Extra Scene] The livestream's popularity skyrocketed, and Wen Weiliang racked up points until his hands were full. He announced that his next stream would be at the top-tier Li family estate. The wealthy crowd was thrilled: At last, it's that mad dog's turn! Either the God of Misfortune electrocutes Mad Dog Li to death, or Mad Dog Li bites the God of Misfortune to death. Let these two menaces face off already! They showered him with gifts, urging him to start the stream. But when it began, the Li family's mad patriarch rolled out in his wheelchair, wearing an unexpectedly tender and doting expression. “Sweetheart, are you bringing work home again? All right, all right. It's fine if you bring it home.” Theme: Treat others sincerely, and they will feel it.
