Description
Jian Zhile is an obscure minor celebrity whose main job is singing and side job is washing dishes at a hotel and cleaning cars. One day after work, he found a lost child by the roadside. Before he could ask where the child’s home was, the child ran to him crying, “Daddy!” Jian Zhile: “…” Single for years and suddenly becomes a dad. With no one else around, he took the child home, thinking it was a joke. However, a trip to the hospital for a paternity test revealed that the child was indeed his biological son!! On the way back with the report in hand, Jian Zhile’s hands were trembling, “Little one, who is your father?” He thought having a son was shocking enough. The little boy pointed to a handsome man on a building poster outside the car window and said, “Daddy!” Jian Zhile’s eyes widened. The man on the poster was none other than Gu Qingye, this year’s hottest superstar and newly crowned film emperor, someone Jian Zhile had only met a few times and never spoken to! ———— A new variety show featuring adorable children was launched, gathering top stars from the industry, including a popular female idol and her niece, the reigning film emperor and his little nephew, and the newly-acknowledged father, Jian Zhile. During a solo interview.Facing the camera, when the staff asked about the child’s father, Jian Zhile put on his best acting skills to avoid slipping up: “When I was young and foolish, the child’s father left early, but I still believe life is my own, so…” Live stream audience:“I heard Zhile works three jobs.”“The baby is so cute!!”“What a s*umbag dad, abandoning his wife and child!”“From now on, we’ll protect baby and Lele!” After the show officially started. At the airport gathering, Jian Zhile got off the car with his baby, who was drowsy due to acclimatization. Seeing the film emperor approaching, the child’s eyes lit up, and he happily ran towards Gu Qingye, shouting, “Daddy, hug!” Jian Zhile: ?Film emperor: ? The scene fell into an awkward silence. The film emperor’s fans in the comments were in an uproar:“Is the film emperor a s*umbag dad?”“Impossible!”“Brother Gu definitely can’t have a child.”“What on earth is this shocking revelation!!” While everyone thought the child was just speaking innocently, until after the show ended and the guests returned to their lives. One day, the film emperor suddenly posted a photo of three people, along with their freshly received marriage certificate, officially announcing: “Not a s*umbag dad, officially married @Jian Zhile.” The whole internet was stunned. #Rumored early-exit husband resurrected from the grave##The couple I shipped came true##They really have a child#

My Thoughts on Picking up the Child of a Superstar, He Went to the Baby Variety Show
First Impressions
Okay, so "Picking up the Child of a Superstar, He Went to the Baby Variety Show" definitely grabbed my attention with its quirky title. The premise is intriguing: a protagonist unexpectedly finds himself caring for a superstar's child and ends up on a variety show. It's got all the ingredients for a lighthearted, heartwarming story, and I was eager to dive in. The tags – comedy, drama, romance, and slice of life – promised a well-rounded experience, and the "cute children" tag? Irresistible!
What Works Well
The story definitely delivers on the cuteness factor. The interactions between the protagonist and the child are genuinely sweet and often hilarious. I found myself smiling quite a bit while reading about their daily life and the challenges of navigating parenthood (even if it's accidental parenthood!). The "showbiz" element adds another layer of interest, and I enjoyed seeing how the characters adapted to the pressures and absurdities of the entertainment industry. The protagonist is hard-working and likeable, making it easy to root for him as he figures things out. The story balances the comedic elements with touches of drama, exploring themes of responsibility, found family, and the unexpected turns life can take.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story overall, there were a few things that niggled at me. I did find myself a bit confused by some of the character assumptions, specifically, why everyone seemed to assume that the main character was the father, and not even considering the possibility of a mother. It struck me as an odd oversight, and it did pull me out of the story a little.
