1999: Getting Famous Is Just Too Easy

Xiao Yan was reborn in 1999, when online novels were still a vague concept and Zhao the Punk was all the rage across China. Han Han, who made a living racing cars and wrote on the side, was still holed up at home, working on his manuscripts. With a flick of Xiao Yan's finger, Guo Copycat was accidentally reduced to just another face in the crowd.

The tide of the times surged forward. The internet empires of the Two Ma's were still barren, while Wang, the property tycoon, was already facing a dilemma: should he invite Xiao Yan to hold a new-book launch outside his property, and throw in a concert while he was at it?

I hear becoming the president of the United States is for the rich. Would 50 billion do? If not, I'll throw in another 300 billion!

Watch Xiao Yan write a magnificent age, sing a song that spans the nation, and make a film that brings heaven and earth to grief!
