Summary
Synopsis:
The day Shen Xiaoman of Maomaotou Village was confirmed for the child-version of the variety show X-Change, the entire village set off firecrackers and held a massive feast. They were celebrating the birth of the village’s first big star.
Only the reborn Shen Xiaoman knew that he was actually a minor “cannon fodder” character in a book. Participating in this show was only meant to make him a foil for the hardworking, diligent protagonist! In his past life, he ended up being hated by the entire internet—a “rat crossing the street” who couldn’t even find peace after death due to cyberbullying.
But Shen Xiaoman isn’t panicking at all.
From the moment he was reborn, he has been preparing for this very show! He plans to cling tightly to the “thigh” (the support) of the story’s future overpowered protagonist (the Long Aotian).
And the first step to clinging to a powerful thigh?
Cultivating that thigh yourself!

Suddenly, the vibe of the show becomes incredibly strange:
While the protagonist stays up late to study, Shen Xiaoman is busy cooking soup for him.
When the protagonist is too poor to afford breakfast, Shen Xiaoman buys him huge steamed buns every day.
When the protagonist tries to earn money by doing other people’s homework, Shen Xiaoman is the one hiring him.
Netizens: “?” “Wait, aren’t you a poor mountain kid? Where did you get the money?”
Shen Xiaoman: “?” “Is there a conflict between living in a mountain village and being rich?”
The viewers suddenly discover that Shen Xiaoman has a champion athlete brother, a self-made CEO mother, a renowned genius author father, and a neighbor who is a top-3 livestreamer…
Shocked Netizens: “…Help! Why is this tiny mountain village full of legendary moguls?!”
Shen Xiaoman is very proud. Look! Plans 1, 2, 3… and N for “Cultivating a Big Shot” have all succeeded! It’s the result of six years of hard work! Now, the protagonist of this X-Change show will become Plan N+1. Just thinking about a future where the protagonist dominates the world while Xiaoman remains his closest best friend makes him want to dance for joy!

As you sow, so shall you reap.
Pei Zhiyan’s life was barren and lonely until Shen Xiaoman forcefully planted himself into it, healing the most destitute and insecure years of Pei’s childhood. The sprout that should have withered in the cold wind bloomed into a rose under careful watering.
However, Pei Zhiyan always knew that Shen Xiaoman came with a purpose; there is no kindness without a reason. After being brought back to the elite Pei family in the capital, Pei Zhiyan coldly thought he would simply repay Shen Xiaoman. If I guarantee him a smooth life, the debt will be cleared, right?
But the “happy puppy” who used to follow him everywhere suddenly vanished.
Fifteen years later, he runs into Shen Xiaoman on a university campus. Xiaoman is high-spirited, laughing and talking, with his arm linked through that of a tall, handsome boyfriend.
Pei Zhiyan’s eyes instantly turn red, his heart aching with jealousy.
How dare he go and water other roses?
