My Idol Can't Possibly Be a Simp!

-

His ex-boyfriend of three years shows up at Jiang Mian's door with a child, claiming the kid is Jiang Mian's.

Jiang Mian looks at the little tyke in front of him, hesitating to speak. "I'd know if I'd ever given birth, wouldn't I?"

Wei Changliu: "I gave birth to him!"

Jiang Mian: "?"

After Wei Changliu was dumped, he somehow got pregnant.

A man got pregnant!!!

He went through the hardships of giving birth all by himself, only to turn around and see Jiang Mian living it up!

Furious, Wei Changliu comes to confront him, using the child as leverage to force Jiang Mian to take responsibility...

Wei Changliu, the movie star who remains hugely popular despite staying out of the spotlight for three years, announces that he's getting married. His partner is some unknown, bottom-tier actor.

Seeing the family of three in the announcement photo, his fans explode, angrily denouncing Jiang Mian as a scheming woman who used the child to climb the ladder.

Wei Changliu: "..."

Is it possible that I'm the one who used the child to climb the ladder?

When they first hear that Jiang Mian is going on a parenting reality show, netizens sneer and sit back with snacks, waiting for the drama.

The movie star's fans are even more eager to expose the scheming woman's true colors. They spend a fortune on superstitious rituals, praying online for Jiang Mian to embarrass herself.

On the show, everyone is overwhelmed by the child's cuteness. Then they see the child turn into a little sweetheart, serving Jiang Mian tea and water and waiting on her hand and foot.

The netizens cry out in anguish:

[No, little one!]

[Stop, that's not your job!!!]

[Jiang Mian, what makes you deserve this!!!!]

As they keep criticizing her, the netizens suddenly realize that Jiang Mian doesn't seem so bad after all.

She may not do anything, but at least she's not doing anything... unlike the clumsy parent beside her who ruins all the kids' hard work.

And she's so even-tempered...

Even when someone smashes the birthday cake, she can cheerfully comfort the frightened little one.

She can play with the children, too...

The netizens are completely on the little one's side: Who wouldn't want a mom like that!!!!!

But what surprises them most is Movie Star Wei's behavior...

Can someone tell them who this guy is, standing there in a cold expression with an apron on, never daring to sulk for more than three minutes?

His fans' entire worldview is shattered, and they all insist: My idol can't possibly be a simp!!!!!!

[Romance WIP]: Hold On, Let Me Take a Swing

1.

Xie Xingyun transmigrates and gets bound to a Pinduoduo System from the start.

She relies on the System's crowdfunding feature, "One swing from you, one swing from me," to scrape by while hunted by her enemies.

Sometimes, when she's lucky enough to win a mystery box, she can even ask her opponents to "take a swing at her."

None of the assassins sent to kill Xie Xingyun survive.

Looking at the assassins' various gruesome deaths, her enemies are stunned. "This woman is unfathomable!"

Meanwhile,

covered in wounds, Xie Xingyun is clinging to life by a thread thanks to Pinduoduo's "Always One Swing Short" feature. Hidden in a cave, she's gnawing raw herbs still covered in dirt.

2.

Feng Zhuyuan, young master of the Demon Cult, has been looking haggard lately. He may have gone mad from practicing his martial arts.

He keeps making a sword strike out of nowhere, at any time and in any place, completely against his will.

Everyone else thinks he's just moody and capricious, but Feng Zhuyuan knows he's genuinely ill.

Until one day, he sees Xie Xingyun struggling against assassins and shouting at the sky, "Lend me a strike!"

His hand shoots up, and a familiar move appears in the middle of the fight, sweeping away a host of assassins.

Feng Zhuyuan's eyes widen. "So it was you!"

3.

Feng Zhuyuan decides to go meet Xie Xingyun.

He swears he will never let Xie Xingyun get away.

He also swears he will never let Xie Xingyun use his skills for free.

Later, he swears again that he absolutely won't let Xie Xingyun freeload off anyone else.

When they encounter assassins again, Feng Zhuyuan instinctively steps in front of her.

Xie Xingyun is startled and reflexively uses her skill over and over: Lend me a strike, lend me a strike, one more strike...

The sword strike Feng Zhuyuan aims straight ahead is forcibly yanked off course by some unknown force, smashing into the unlucky fellow beside them.

External force and reason tug at Feng Zhuyuan. His hand won't obey him, and his moves keep missing.

Feng Zhuyuan's eyelid twitches wildly. At last, he can't take it anymore. "Stop using that lousy skill of yours! I'm going to lose!!!"
