Lin Zhao died.
He died in the year when he had lost all hope.
A celebrated actor who rose to fame at a young age, he gave up his career and married for love.
But that person only ever treated him as a prop in a political marriage.
Five years of marriage drained away all his passion.
Lin Zhao secretly gave birth to a child, but died young of illness, leaving his little one alone and helpless.
And then came transmigration.
But it wasn't him who transmigrated. It was his little one.
Lu Youyou transmigrated!
The chubby little dumpling lay on a soft, fluffy cloud, pointing down at the film set.
"Look, that's my little dad!"
"Little Dad looks so young and pretty now!"
[Beep! Parent-Child Rescue System bound!]
[Golden finger loaded! You can change the fortunes of the people around you!]
The little one planted his hands on his hips and announced to Lin Zhao,
"I'm your future son! This life, I'm going to help you find a good husband!"
Lin Zhao: "Kids shouldn't go around claiming people... Who's your dad?"
The little one waved a hand. "Doesn't matter! He's no good anyway!"
Looking into the little one's eyes, almost identical to his own,
Lin Zhao's heart softened.
And so...
A mysterious child suddenly appeared by the side of rising star Lin Zhao.
Rumors that the child was born out of wedlock spread nonstop.
Everyone quietly speculated about the identity of his biological father.
Especially the powerful tycoon whose looks were so similar to the child's.
Lu Jingyao had been acting strangely lately.
As the head of the Lu family and a force to be reckoned with in the business world, he had never imagined he would embarrass himself repeatedly in front of the same person.
The buttons on his custom suit popped off without warning, he found a live bug in a Michelin-starred restaurant, and he even managed to fall into a fountain on perfectly level ground.
And every one of these mishaps happened whenever he got close to his intended marriage partner.
"Careful."
When he lost his footing yet again, a pair of hands caught him just in time.
A warm palm rested against his arm.
In the night breeze, he caught a faint scent of gardenia from the other person.
His heart stirred.
...Perhaps marrying the person in front of him wouldn't be such a bad choice.
But right now, the nation's top actor, a rising director, wealthy investors...
Every last one of them was attentive to Lin Zhao, fussing over him and asking after his well-being.
And somehow, every one of Lin Zhao's suitors had damnably good luck, except for him.
Their movies won awards, the trending topics they paid for went viral, and even the lottery tickets they bought on a whim won prizes!
Lin Zhao quickly earned himself the nickname "lucky star" in the industry.
He had suitors flocking around him.
Watching his "marriage partner" about to forget all about him,
he couldn't even get a number in line for love...
Lu Jingyao stared at the little bean beside Lin Zhao's leg, whose features looked so much like his own, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The little one hid behind Lin Zhao, stuck out his tongue, and secretly drew another circle.
"I curse you to go through hell trying to win your wife back!"
[Bonus Scene]
One day, Lu Jingyao finally lost patience and cornered Lin Zhao against a wall.
Before Lin Zhao could say a word, the little one sprang out from the side.
His little face puffed up with anger.
"Bad guy! Don't bully my little dad!"
Lu Jingyao looked down at the little face that was exactly like his own, then suddenly smiled.
"You think you can tell me what to do?"
With that, he bent down and kissed Lin Zhao.
The little one: "!!!"
The hand drawing circles trembled slightly.
