Chapter 1: Starting with 500 Billion.

“Don’t waste your time, my dad wouldn’t even look at you!” The little girl’s beautiful eyes were filled with disgust.

As the only daughter of Director Tang, Tang Tang was used to being flattered by all kinds of people in the entertainment industry since she was young. But this was the first time she had seen someone as desperate and shameless as Yan Yueqing.

“I said the fruit looked delicious, and what did you do? You deliberately climbed a tree and pretended to faint! Were you trying to trick my father into coming to see you? Keep dreaming!”

On the grass, Yan Yueqing, who had just woken up, looked confused.

The pain in her body and the flood of memories in her brain reminded her of one thing.

She had transmigrated!

She had transmigrated into a novel called ‘I Became Popular Online by Raising Kids on Livestream’.

The female protagonist, Qin Youran, became an instant Internet sensation by showing her gentle and caring demeanor on the live children’s variety show.

In contrast, the supporting character, Yan Yueqing, was a textbook example of what not to do.

While Qin Youran was giving gifts to the children, Yan Yueqing was sucking up to Tang Tang.

While Qin Youran was helping the children in their missions, Yan Yueqing was sucking up to Tang Tang.

Even when Qin Youran ‘accidentally’ revealed her tragic childhood, Yan Yueqing was still busy sucking up to Tang Tang.

According to the plot, in this episode, the two ended up in the same group for a hiking task. During the hike, Tang Tang casually mentioned some delicious-looking fruits, which prompted Yan Yueqing to immediately climb a tree to pick them. Unfortunately, she lost her footing and fell, knocking herself unconscious. After being rushed to the hospital, she attempted to seduce Director Tang when he came to visit her, only to be caught red-handed on camera by his assistant!

When this incident was exposed, the netizens were furious and dug up her past, only to uncover a huge scandal…

It turns out that Yan Yueqing has a five-year-old love child!

All this time, her actions have been driven by a desperate search for a man to take responsibility for her child.

The netizens, known for their Zero tolerance towards green tea bitches, unleashed their fury on her with relentless cyberbullying that extended beyond the virtual world into her real life.

Unable to cope with the relentless online harassment, Yan Yueqing eventually took her own life by jumping into the sea.

After her death, Qin Youran publicly adopted her child.

The sickly but stunningly beautiful child attracted a lot of attention and sympathy. Qin Youran unintentionally became a viral sensation by sharing their daily life through vlogs. She received numerous endorsements and was affectionately dubbed ‘Sweetheart Mom’ by many adoring netizens.

A year later, a certain big shot appeared and claimed that the child was his long-lost offspring…

Just like that, Qin Youran’s life took a dramatic turn, mirroring the plot of a billionaire romance novel. She entered into a contract marriage with the big shot, and their arranged union slowly blossomed into true love. Qin Youran’s social status soared, and she rose to the pinnacle of success.

Among the book fans, there was overwhelming praise for Qin Youran’s character. However, after reading it, she only left one comment: “Wow, so Qin Youran basically used Yan Yueqing’s death and child as a stepping stones to success?”

Needless to say, she was banned by the mods in seconds!

Now it gets even crazier…

She actually transmigrated into Yan Yueqing’s body herself?!

And she appeared right when the original Yan Yueqing fainted?!

Before she could make sense of her memories, a “ding!” sounded in her head.

“Congratulations, host, on awakening. You have obtained the Cute Baby Raising System.”

As the mechanical voice finished speaking, a virtual interface suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

[Name: Yan Yueqing.

Child cultivation fund balance: 500 billion.

Strength points: 0]

What?!

Yan Yueqing was stunned.

500 billion?!

child cultivation fund?!!!!!

Transmigrating into a novel was already unbelievable enough, and now a system has appeared too?!

“The child cultivation fund balance refers to the amount of money the host can use only to raise cute babies. Each time the host binds with a baby, all expenses spent on them are covered by the system, while the host’s individual expenses are not included.” The system continued with its robotic instructions, “Every time the host completes a mission to increase the baby’s favorability, the system will return 10 percent of the consumed child cultivation money to the host’s personal account.”

Yan Yueqing did some quick calculations: “So, this money can only be spent on the children I’m bound with, and once the mission is accomplished, the system will refund me 10% of the money I’ve spent? For example, if I spend a total of 100 yuan on a baby, I’ll eventually get 10 yuan back?”

“Yes,” replied the system.

This didn’t seem very appealing.

How much could one child possibly spend?

Even if she bound herself to ten children and bought them tons of toys, the refund would amount to just a few hundred yuans—barely worth the hassle!

Yan Yueqing refused: “Is there an option for me to not be tied to this system?”

The system promptly informed her of the substantial debt she had, which amounted to 5 million yuan.

“What the hell?!” Yan Yueqing was sure she must’ve heard wrong. “You mean to tell me I have a debt of 5 million yuan?!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, a flood of debt-related memories came rushing into her mind, highlighting the key details.

Yan Yueqing quickly shook her head, as if trying to get rid of those memories.

Great… others who transmigrated into books seized the opportunity to turn their lives around, but here she was, burdened with a debt of 5 million yuan as soon as she entered the story!

Seizing the moment, the system prompted, “Completing the initial mission will grant the host an additional reward of 5 million yuan. A potential target baby has been detected. Does the host wish to bind with this baby?”

[Name: Tang Tang.

Age: 5 years old

Favorability towards the host: -25 points]

[Mission: Bind and cultivate a relationship with Tang Tang. When her favorability towards the host exceeds 90 points, the task is complete.]

[Reward: +10 strength Points and a refund of 10% of the total amount spent on Tang Tang]

She’s already 5 million yuan in debt! Does she even have a choice?!

Yan Yueqing felt a sense of numbness wash over her. “Confirm binding.”

The system replied, “Binding successful. Since this is the first time you’ve activated this service, the system will give you a black card.”

Before the system even finished speaking, she felt a slight chill in her pocket. The card had mysteriously appeared in her pocket.

The system continued:

[Initial mission released]

[Mission duration: One week]

[Mission Objective: Spend 10 million yuan on Tang Tang.]

[Initial Mission Reward: 10% of the money spent returned, plus an additional 5 million yuan]

What the hell?!

This is the first mission?!

What kid can spend a million yuan in one week?! Besides, it’s not even my kid!

How am I supposed to spend this money reasonably?

Just as she was about to ask, the system fell silent.

With no other choice, she resigned herself to her fate and stood up.

Tang Tang crossed her arms, a cold look in her eyes, “Stop trying to win me over! I hate you! My father hates you too!”

Seeing the disgust in Tang Tang’s eyes, Yan Yueqing stopped in her tracks.

If she wanted to spend money on this child, she’d have to fix their relationship first!

In this child’s eyes, the original owner was crazy. If Yan Yueqing came up to her now and said, “Hey, little girl, I have ten million yuan. Just work a little harder and spend it all within a week!”

That would just be plain creepy, right?

Besides, money wasn’t that attractive to kids. Those little red fruits on the tree were much more enticing!

After some thought, Yan Yueqing came up with a plan.

Without a word, she rolled up her sleeves and began climbing the tree.

The viewers in the livestream room immediately started to scold her.

[Shameless! Look at the state she’s in, and she’s still trying to pick fruits to suck up to Tang Tang?]

[Can’t you get someone else to do it? Little Princess Tang Tang might develop a psychological shadow from all this!]

[Ah, but Tang Tang’s father is a director! Director Tang has just acquired 20% of the shares in Zhongxing Media Group, making him her direct boss. Of course she’ll try to suck up to his daughter!]

[Look at how gentle Tang Tang is, from her initial polite restraint to now openly expressing her disgust. I bet she’s at her limit.]

[This woman is like chewing gum in your hair, disgusting! Can’t they just ban Yan Yueqing?!]

[Agreed! It’s gross! How could they invite someone like that to the show?!]

[Wait, stop cursing! Look, Yan Yueqing is climbing the tree like a pro this time!]
