After being recycled as waste, a little robot arrived in a strange world. He gained a human body and became a five-year-old child.
This body came with a tragic past: a father whose identity was unknown, a mother who abandoned him after giving birth, and a grandmother who couldn't stand him.
The original owner had been learning to do housework since he was three and a half. Going hungry and lacking warm clothes were routine, and if he didn't do his chores well, his grandmother would punish him.
Luo Xin was a little robot built for both housekeeping and childcare. He was a professional at doing chores and looking after children. Though he had become human in this life, the word "work" had long since taken root in his instincts.
His grandmother's assigned tasks were easy for him. He accepted them all and completed them so perfectly that not a single fault could be found.
A parenting reality show was filmed in Luo Xin's hometown, and his grandmother rented her house to the production crew.
A group of guests who could barely lift a finger were outclassed in every way by a five-year-old. The audience enjoyed the spectacle, but many also wondered:
Why could a five-year-old do so many chores?
Why hadn't anyone seen Luo Xin's parents, despite filming for so long?
The answers came soon enough. Luo Xin was not related to his grandmother by blood. His mother, who had stolen his life from him, had died of an illness long ago, leaving behind one unanswered question: who were Luo Xin's biological parents?
Of course, no one could leave Luo Xin with his cruel grandmother. Until they found his biological parents, they had to find him a reliable family.
A silent battle to claim the child began.
An internationally renowned movie star, a top-tier star, and a CEO worth tens of billions all fought for custody of Luo Xin.
"The first time I saw him, I knew he was my child."
"I can guarantee he'll want for nothing for the rest of his life."
"Actually, I have an illegitimate son who's been living elsewhere..."
In his previous life, the little robot had been controlled by a program. From the moment he left the factory, he had lived only to work, until he was recycled as waste.
In this life, he gained family, friends, and a lover. His program was rewritten. He no longer had to work himself to the bone. All he needed to do was enjoy his happiness.

Gu Wang was diagnosed with mild autism at the age of four. People said he was sick, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He simply didn't like talking or getting close to people.
To treat him, his father took him to a parenting variety show. There, in the countryside, Gu Wang met a beautiful child who sparked more interest in him than anything else had.
The moment he saw the child, he thought of his father's words: If there's something you want, just ask. Dad will do his best to give you everything you ask for.
He overlooked the words "do his best" and asked his father for the beautiful child. His father found a way to grant his request.
From then on, Gu Wang took on the responsibility of looking after Luo Xin. He cared for him like a doll, handling everything himself.
His feelings for Luo Xin grew stronger day by day. Only after realizing how pathologically possessive he had become did he finally understand: he really was sick. His sickness was wanting to possess Luo Xin completely.
As a professional childcare robot, Luo Xin believed that while Gu Wang had been taking care of him, he had also raised Gu Wang. In his eyes, Gu Wang was the little baby he had brought up.
One night, he suddenly woke up and found Gu Wang gazing at him with an expression he couldn't understand. While Luo Xin was still groggy, Gu Wang leaned over and kissed him.
The little robot's brain short-circuited.
Help! What do I do when the little baby I raised falls in love with me?
"They All Want to Be My Dad"
"I Was Reborn to Be Spoiled"
"My Possessive Childhood Friend"
A beloved child doted on by everyone
The love interest is a CEO's son, childhood friends to lovers
Upcoming: "Going Viral on a Parenting Show with My Mortal Enemy"
The boy band Pluto had been around for three years and had spent all three years flopping. On the day their contracts ended, the company tried to squeeze out one last payday by gathering the members of the long-disintegrated group for a modest farewell party.
On the day of the party, the never-famous boy band took the trending lists by storm:
[Rumors that Pluto's lead singer Mu Ye and visual Yan Xun are dating]
Yan Xun couldn't sing or dance. His good looks got him recruited by an agency to audition for a boy band, and he debuted by chance. The band flopped as soon as it was formed.
Just as Yan Xun decided to give up on making a living in the entertainment industry, he became famous again, this time as part of a pair with the band's most difficult youngest member.
From the moment he first met Mu Ye, Yan Xun felt that Mu Ye disliked him. As the oldest member and the group leader, Yan Xun took responsibility for looking after the younger boys, but he repeatedly hit a wall with Mu Ye.
Mu Ye was a rich heir. Whatever he did, he would have been more comfortable outside the entertainment industry, yet he insisted on coming here to suffer.
Mu Ye took a drink for Yan Xun, and the camera captured it as irrefutable proof:
[Yan Xun and Mu Ye are deeply in love]
Yan Xun found a little toddler by the restroom. The child clung to his leg and begged in a babyish voice for Yan Xun to help him find his uncle. Once again, the cameras caught it:
[Pluto hasn't performed in ages, and Mu Ye and Yan Xun haven't been seen in public for a long time. Have they secretly married and had a child?]
[Mu Ye and Yan Xun's child revealed!]
Taking advantage of the buzz, the agency booked Yan Xun on a parenting show. He was to pretend to be a loving husband with Mu Ye and put on a show with Mu Ye's nephew.
Yan Xun couldn't afford the penalty for breaking the contract. He assumed Mu Ye would definitely turn down the show, but to his surprise, Mu Ye agreed. Yan Xun hastily signed a confidentiality agreement and somehow ended up on a childcare show that had nothing to do with him.
In Yan Xun's mind, Mu Ye was a pampered young master who couldn't do a thing for himself. In their first year as a group, Yan Xun had looked after him like a parent.
The impression was so vivid that even before the show began, Yan Xun could imagine what he'd have to deal with. But things didn't turn out as he expected.
He had imagined that he would have to take care of Mu Ye's nephew and Mu Ye, too.
In reality, Yan Xun didn't even get a chance to do any work. The uncle and nephew looked after him so well that he was thoroughly pampered.
Yan Xun was tired. The toddler huffed and puffed as he carried a chair bigger than himself, but before he could reach Yan Xun, Mu Ye had already put an arm around him and guided him into a chair they'd prepared in advance.
Yan Xun was hungry. The toddler and Mu Ye headed into the kitchen in perfect sync and started their daily cooking competition...
Just as Yan Xun's popularity was soaring, a well-known gossip account claimed that Mu Ye and Yan Xun were both putting on an act and had no feelings for each other at all.
The next episode was filmed the day after the rumors spread. Mu Ye broke with his usual reserved ways, changing from quietly giving to actively pursuing Yan Xun, and boldly declared his love for him on the show.
Some people suspected they were faking it for the cameras and started digging into their past. The more they uncovered, the more evidence pointed to one fact: Mu Ye really did like Yan Xun.
On the night of the group's debut competition, Mu Ye sat in first place and looked down at everyone. His gaze never left Yan Xun. He seemed to be looking down at him, but in truth, ever since meeting Yan Xun, Mu Ye had always been the one looking up to him.
