Shen Mingyou dreamed about taking her daughter, Nian Nian, to a reality TV show where moms and their kids are featured. On the show, Nian Nian didn’t cooperate, and Shen Mingyou became frustrated with her. She treated her daughter coldly, which made them seem unloving. As a result, they were criticized by viewers and kicked off the show.

In contrast, another mom on the show, Gu Aifei, did great. She took excellent care of her adorable twins, who won over many fans. The other moms also did well on the show, except Shen Mingyou and Nian Nian.

When the show “Super Mom” was announced, people were doubtful about Shen Mingyou:

☆ Outdated actress Shen Mingyou is using her daughter to make money☆

☆ Shen Mingyou, known for failing at the box office, still a bad actress?☆

☆ Shen Mingyou’s daughter Jiang Niannian looks foolish☆

But as the show went on, opinions started to change:

☆ After five years of retirement, Shen Mingyou still looks amazing!☆

☆ Wow, Shen Mingyou’s daughter seems really talented!!!☆

☆ Shen Mingyou’s house is so luxurious, even the cloakroom is bigger than my home☆

Shen Mingyou’s live streams became very popular, and everyone was curious about her mysterious husband. One day, the show filmed a tall man entering Shen Mingyou’s bedroom. It turned out to be Jiang Chen, a wealthy and handsome tycoon, who was gently soaking Shen Mingyou and Nian Nian’s feet to keep them warm.

People were amazed and envious of their seemingly perfect life.

Meanwhile, Gu Aifei, who thought she was the star of the entertainment industry, was confused by this unexpected twist. Little did she know, Shen Mingyou’s rising popularity was just the start of her successful return to the entertainment world.

Sometimes I wish I could have the confidence of authors who make autism a plot point having done negative amounts of research.

Here part of the bad OG fate MC avoids is her daughter "becoming autistic." Inaccurate and rude as hell. Tried overlooking it when it first came up and the mentions just got more obnoxious.

Also it was starting to feel like one of those stories about a TV show where the show is boring to hear about and would also be boring to watch. First episode: MC sits around reading... more>> a book, her kid takes apart and puts together a video camera (is the author doing into the autistic savant trope? Do they think being able to do something like that is incompatible with autism? Unclear) and this somehow gets record views. I guess that that could be a relaxing live stream, but it's not interesting to read about.

Finally the premise was pretty meh. MC has a dream about being a cannon fodder character in the original novel and realizes that's probably the reason she couldn't use her acting abilities on camera in the past. The dream makes her feel like she can completely resist the plot now so she signs up for the show without even checking if that's true. <<less

This is a sweet story about the ML chasing back the FL, cute children, FL working her way to the top in her career and also some faceslapping.

Storyline:

FL is a retired actress who wants to get back into her acting career but suddenly has a dream where she finds out that she seems to in a novel where she and her daughter have a tragic end. When she wakes up, she decides to go against the dream and change things up. She succeeds and gets a happy ending. The novel... more>> focuses alot on the reality TV show that the FL joins with her child. But it also ties together the romance and faceslapping well.

Pros of the novel:

Antagonists:

The main antagonists are not excessively bad in this novel! They don't do any harm to the FL or her child. The minor antagonists does s*upid things like spread rumors but nothing too horrible too. This is a pro for me as most novels have aphrodisiac incidents or try to mu*rder people when they're too jealous... in this novel, Gu Aifei, one of the main antagonist reflects on her actions and thoughts which are due to jealousy and decides to step away and live her life. Gu Aifei herself is not a mean or dumb person too, she works hard herself and is a good mother to her children. I like that she actually scolds her husband and MIL when they mistreat her kids and she stands up for her children. She is indeed a worthy oriFL. But our FL is just too OP imo.

Kids:

Another pro is the kids! Very cute kids and NianNian, the FL and ML's child is the star of the novel. She's 4 years old and makes me laugh everytime she's mentioned in the story because of her funny antics. The other kids in the story are also written well with distinct personalities. So it's fun to see them play together.

Romance:

The romance is well written imo. Jiang Chen the ML is a man with high IQ and ridiculously low EQ. He is initially a cold indifferent ML who thinks getting his assistant to buy things for his wife is the peak of his marriage. He thinks he has done 11/10 being a good husband and father by working and bringing home the money. Yeah he is a dumbas*

So when FL wants to divorce him, ML is shoooook. He's like, "why??? Isn't our marriage and life PERFECT???" And so throughout the novel, ML is trying to figure out what went wrong, and how to be a good husband and father. He learns and progresses and I love that for them. I like that ML truly changes and learns from his mistakes. It is a good read because of that.

ML went from an indifferent cold man to a warm clingy puppy husband. So cute.

Cons:

FL's personality:

To be very honest, I think NianNian and the ML carried the novel. FL is a bit too dull for me. She has a straightforward personality and prideful. It is also written in the novel that due to her not communicating with her husband, she played a role in the cold marriage. But even after the ML changed, I feel like FL still doesn't communicate well with the husband? Idk, I just felt that she still keeps things to herself and only bursts out after she can't bottle it up anymore.

Side characters:

I feel like some side characters are just mentioned here and there to make FL seem more OP. Like Lin Jing, a female CEO who was FL's best friend but they had a falling out, FL being best friends with superstars or FL being the crush of famous actor... Also, after they're mentioned and some conflict happens, the resolution seems half-hearted to me. I never did find out if Lin Jing and FL are close ever again.

I also think author is a bit biased haha. There are five kids in the variety show and at the end they're all supposed to give a speech but the children of Gu Aifei was not given any screentime in the novel. Pretty sad!

Faceslapping is standard and FL is very protected by her OP family and friends.

Extras:

The first extra is a few father-daughter moments and it is so nice to read!!! Highly recommend.

Anyway it is a nice casual read and I'd recommend it for the romance and family moments plus cute children. The drama and faceslapping is dull so I wouldn't read it for that. <<less

A nice story~

... more>>
Spoiler

FL is brave and strong. ML is a good man but he assumed too many things without any communication thus hurting the FL and their child.

The child is sweet, and even though she seems quiet at first, having friends made her open up more.

I think the issues that FL faced was relatable in many sense. So for her to be able to overcome her fears and challenges was very brave and should be encouraged and praised.

ML was smacked on his face by the reality (and by the FL, which was very satisfying!). Many people are like this, assuming they are right and taking things for granted.

But what's good about the ML is that he's proactive and took action in changing for the better. His effort paid off and they got their HE~

I really like the 2nd extra where the ML was reborn. It's like another chance for an early HE.. But it's a bit difficult to find the raw for the extras. And what I found wasn't complete 😭🥲

[collapse]

Anyway, it's a very enjoyable reading recommended to all 🌈🪸 <<less

This was an okay read. I like characters that seem human, although MC just seemed a bit too OP when solving any problems.

One thing I didn’t like is the “twist” near the end. That was just meh for me. Also, I don’t think novels should always be finding a “cure” to autism when they can just as easily portray that some cases can be well equipped to living productive and almost normal adult lives.
