Midlife Baby System: My Comeback Story

Midlife Baby System: My Comeback Story Plot:

38-year-old Lin Yu is a middle-aged man beaten down by life—passed over for promotion by a younger colleague, stuck in a cold war with his wife who calls him “unmotivated,” and even his 10-year-old son refuses to talk to him. While squatting downstairs eating a cold bun, his phone suddenly binds to a “Baby Growth System”: he must complete baby tasks like “drinking milk from a bottle” or “crawling 10 meters in the park” to unlock workplace buffs and family intimacy. At first, he’s so embarrassed he wants to run away, but after finishing his first task, he magically wins back a lost client! Determined to fix his life, Lin Yu grits his teeth and becomes a “midlife baby”—laughed at for drinking soy milk from a bottle at the office, filmed by neighbors crawling with his son. But as he checks off tasks, he not only rises to company executive but also reclaims his family: his wife falls for him again watching him with their son, and his son calls him “the best dad ever.” When asked about his secret, Lin Yu shakes a baby bottle in his pocket: “I just learned to be like a baby—fearless of embarrassment, willing to start over.”
