After Getting Pregnant, I Divorced the Film Emperor

Yan An is a Copper Coin Grass spirit from a cultivation world who transmigrated to modern Earth three years ago. Lacking external spiritual energy, she survives by converting money into spiritual power. Unable to reproduce asexually like her kin, she sought a handsome human mate for dual cultivation and married Qi Yan, a rising actor. She gave birth to six seeds, but only two sprouted: Yan Mengmeng, a lemon spirit, and Yan Kuku, a bitter gourd spirit. The remaining four seeds remain dormant, requiring forty million yuan to activate. With her thirty million divorce settlement exhausted, Yan An must earn money to survive and raise her children.

Yan An auditions for the variety show "A Taste of Everyday Life" to secure an appearance fee. Her friend Liang Baiyu, a transmigration pigeon spirit who is also a broke singer, claims to have recommended her but had actually forgotten to do so. Despite this, Yan An is accepted. Upon arrival at the filming location, she encounters her ex-husband, Qi Yan, who is now a top-tier film emperor and the show's mystery guest. Yan An panics, fearing he will discover her secret children and take them away. She attempts to avoid him, even faking heatstroke on the minibus, but Qi Yan sits beside her and offers her traditional herbal medicine, triggering traumatic memories of their past.

The show assigns mandatory pairs for daily tasks. Yan An is paired with Qi Yan to catch chickens, while other guests include action star Ji Lan, esports streamer Jiang Tian, singer Liang Baiyu, and actress Wen Yang. Wen Yang is revealed to be a transmigrator with a system, aiming to capture Qi Yan as her male lead. She attempts to manipulate the task assignments to be paired with him, but the system malfunctions, resulting in her being paired with Liang Baiyu instead. Yan An remains unaware of Wen Yang's true nature and focuses on avoiding Qi Yan.

During the chicken-catching task, Yan An struggles against fast-moving chickens selected by the production team. She considers using spiritual power but decides against it due to the high cost. Qi Yan watches her efforts with a detached expression, recalling their past where he plucked her leaves. Yan An fails to catch the chickens through physical means and is forced to rely on her limited resources. Meanwhile, Liang Baiyu delays joining his partner Wen Yang, causing tension. Ji Lan kicks open Liang Baiyu's door to retrieve him, showcasing her martial arts background and impatience with his flaky behavior.

The narrative highlights the contrast between Yan An's desperate need for money and Qi Yan's effortless wealth and status. Yan An's children, hidden in her pockets, observe the situation with curiosity and fear. Yan Mengmeng and Yan Kuku desire to see their father, but Yan An insists he is not their father to protect their secret. The episode ends with Yan An still failing to catch a chicken, while Qi Yan remains ominously close, unaware of the family he left behind in the cultivation world.
