[Pre-Collection for the M/M Lead Story, "My Slacking on the Kids' Variety Show Made Me Famous": Add it to your collection if you're interested. The blurb is below.]

Chu Wenqing, who was crushed to death by a pet, was reborn. To his delight, he discovered that he could communicate with animals!

Guided by the principle of being thrifty and making use of everything available, Chu Wenqing decided to make the most of his golden finger!

At first, Chu Wenqing was attacked all over the internet for trying to fool the bugs.

[There's a female bug pretending to be male. Why hasn't the moderator banned him?]

[What? The streamer can talk to pets? What a fraud. Is this female bug so desperate to get famous?]

[The streamer must have gone crazy from longing for a male bug! And now he's sharing his daily life raising pets with one!]

Later,

[Streamer, can I adopt this cat? It's so cute!]

[Streamer, my dog hasn't been eating or drinking lately. Please come over and examine it!]

[Streamer, can you help me find my cat?]

Before long, Chu Wenqing's livestream became a hit.

The requests for help gradually expanded from cats and dogs to tigers and sharks!

Later still,

Chu Wenqing accidentally revealed his secret identity.

Oblivious to what had happened, Chu Wenqing felt that the atmosphere in his livestream had started to get strange lately.

A cow cat was clearly on screen, working its charm,

but the comments were all about him.

[The streamer is so adorable!]

[Streamer, can you show your face on livestream?]

[Does the streamer need any more pets? I can take care of myself. I just need you to sing me to sleep!]

General Kellos secretly posted a question online.

Question: What should I do if a bug is raising me like a dog?

User 1: What? Someone dares to think the general is a dog? Interstellar law is so thorough these days. General, take him to court!

User 2: I'd say it all comes down to looks. If it's a handsome male bug, I'd be more than happy to role-play with him.

User 3: Don't listen to that lovesick fool above, General. This is an insult. Show him your strength and make him submit to you!

Kellos clutched his phone and secretly glanced at Chu Wenqing, who was petting a cat not far away. His face was wreathed in a blissful smile.

Role-play?

If his male spouse liked it, he was more than willing.

Not long after,

netizens cried out in outrage: Why didn't General Kellos say it was Your Excellency Chu Wenqing? Please, are there any more male spouses like this?

@General Kellos, could you ask for me? Does Your Excellency Chu Wenqing need any more pets? The kind that can support themselves and only need to be sung to sleep!

The genius young general Kellos met a male bug who domineeringly wanted to imprison him.

He thought his life was ruined, and that he would be toyed with to death like a slave by the supposedly cruel male bugs.

But the male bug was kind. He treated his wounds, accepted his insecurities, respected his dreams, and was nothing like most male bugs.

He thought this was love!

But beautiful things were always as fragile and fleeting as bubbles.

Sure enough, a pauper shouldn't hope to possess such an ethereal love.

"Take your hand away! What is there that we, the esteemed VIPs, can't see?"

"Exactly! We'll pay extra!"

A little while later, Kellos appeared on camera with swollen, red lips and apologized to the viewers in his livestream: "Sorry, that's all for today's stream. My male spouse isn't feeling well."

"Don't go! Let us see how he's feeling unwell!"

++Note: This is a fluffy, brainless sweet romance, written in a simple style. Please be kind!

Pre-Collection Blurb

Lin Yanche transmigrated into a book as a minor, eighteen-tier character. With a knack for stirring up drama, he was a perennial trending-topic celebrity, surrounded by rumors and scandals. In the end, he was cyberbullied out of the entertainment industry after making numerous children depressed on a kids' variety show.

Lin Yanche arrived during a livestream of the kids' variety show. A little toddler was clutching his pant leg and calling out in a babyish voice, "Dada."

Lin Yanche's head hurt. Whose kid was this? Why was the little one randomly calling him a parent?

He was tired. Maybe he should just announce his retirement from showbiz.

*

Brought low by a lack of money, Lin Yanche was forced to perform on the kids' variety show. Netizens sneered at him, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

[Secretly married with a child, and a chaotic private life.]

[What a scumbag. He deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces.]

[When is Lin Yanche finally going to get out of the entertainment industry?]

Unexpectedly, later on,

the livestream's atmosphere took a strange turn.

[Tangtang, it's hard work looking after that deadweight.]

[Lin Yanche is so lucky to have such an outstanding baby.]

[Breaking: Did Lin Yanche listen to Tangtang today?]

Lin Yanche sighed. He'd planned to slack off and be a couch potato, but his kid was just too capable.

*

Facing the camera, the little one clenched his tiny fists and puffed out his cheeks as he declared, "Tangtang is a big boy. Tangtang will protect Dada."

The viewers wept with envy, wondering what color sack they should use to snatch Tangtang away.

Facing Lin Yanche, the little one gazed at him adoringly and said with confidence, "Tingting is silly. Tangtang will help Little Dada win Dada's heart."

Gu Yunting shed bitter tears. The kid he'd raised was truly so considerate.

*

Lin Yanche's return to fame caused an uproar online.

Just as everyone was getting ready to mock his lack of talent and say he was only popular because of the kid,

he switched into full-power mode and face-slapped all his haters, showing everyone through his actions that he was only slacking off, not actually incompetent.

[What? The pianist who won a gold award overseas is Lin Yanche!]

[Oh my gosh, how did I not know Lin Yanche could sing so beautifully?]

[Which heartless agency buried Lin Yanche's talent for all these years?]

Bonus Scene

On the eighteenth floor of an office building,

the president of the Gu Group was wielding his secret identity as he took the internet by storm: Ah, big brother, you're killing me! Ah, husband, I want to sleep with you!

Lin Yanche leaned over and softly blew in the ear of President Gu, who was behind him. "Since the president signed me, I should fulfill all of his wishes~"

Note: The entire story is set in a fictional world where same-sex couples can marry and have children. It's a brainless comedy.
