When a Mind-Reading Baby Meets His Stepfather Who Transmigrated into a Book

[This novel will be available for purchase on September 24] The blurb for my upcoming novel, “What Are You Looking At? That’s My Wife,” is below. Blurb: Xie Luoshu is the eldest legitimate son of the Xie Group, but he has been frail and sickly since childhood due to congenital heart disease. His birth mother was in poor health after giving birth and died just a few years later. His father found him a stepmother less than a year after that. After the stepmother had two children, her status rose along with theirs. With her silver tongue, she managed to get him sent to a convalescent home. On his eighteenth birthday, he had a huge argument with his father, suffered a heart attack, and died young. When he opens his eyes, he has become the villainous stepfather with the same name in an old-school melodramatic novel. The villain uses every trick in the book to curry favor with the domineering CEO and his son so he can marry into a wealthy family. But after joining the family, he ignores the CEO’s son in private. Watching the adorable little toddler sitting obediently on the sofa and drinking milk, Xie Luoshu’s eyes turn into hearts. How could anyone bear to ignore such a cute child? When the villain learns that the protagonist, the CEO’s love interest, is joining a variety show for parents and children, he decides to join too. He plans to use the opportunity to improve his image, but he’s useless at everything on the show and does nothing but hold everyone back. Then the cameras catch him hitting a child. He lands on the trending list, gets vilified by the entire internet, and the CEO divorces him. In the end, the villain is hit by a car and dies... Xie Luoshu: ... On the show, Xie Luoshu shines. With just a few days of cooking lessons under his belt, he easily wins everyone over with his food. His everyday interactions with the little one have the aunties squealing with delight. Uncles: What about us?! “Why does Xie Luoshu give off such a strong ‘perfect husband’ vibe? I think I’m falling for him.” “Me too...” “His looks have already knocked me straight to the bottom of the rabbit hole!” “I’m calling him my wife! Haa, haa!” The CEO watching from behind his computer: Don’t you people have wives of your own?! That’s my wife! [From the little one’s perspective] → I can’t hear my stepdad’s thoughts. He treats me pretty well. → Dad and my stepdad got married, and now I can hear my stepdad’s thoughts. He really is that kind of person! → Why is my stepdad suddenly different? What does it mean to transmigrate into a book? I can’t hear the hateful thoughts people have about me anymore! I’m so happy! But I can still hear my stepdad’s. → My stepdad’s cooking is so good. He says he’s a genius! → My stepdad is the best! Nobody’s allowed to steal him from me! Content warnings: ● The child is not biologically related to either lead! Both leads are virgins! ● The little one will have a love interest, but the focus in his childhood is mainly on friendship. ● The early story focuses on raising the little one; the romance gets sweet later on. ● Before he transmigrated, he wasn’t the love interest himself. The details are a spoiler! ● In this story, the love interest is a cooking genius! ● There will be an alternate-universe bonus story about the love interest’s previous life, where he gets revenge on his scumbag father and stepmother. ● Anti-piracy protection is enabled: 80%, 240 hours.
