After Being Reborn, I Became the Movie Star's Darling

After her scumbag boyfriend dumps her, Mi Li stumbles into the entertainment industry and unexpectedly becomes famous. She reunites with her father, an award-winning actor, and falls in love with a top-tier star singer. (That’s how some netizens sum up Mi Li’s story.)

In her previous life, Mi Li clawed her way up to become a third-tier actress. This time, she thought she’d at least get to start over in the beginner’s village with a walkthrough. Instead, she’s practically been blessed with the luck of an emperor.

From the moment they meet, award-winning actor Qin can’t stand Mi Li, whose appearance closely resembles his first love. On the show, he makes no secret of it, either calling her out or nitpicking everything she does. But when he eventually learns the truth, he panics.

After seeing the 180-degree change in Qin’s attitude, netizens tease him: “I’m dying. Everyone else gets the ‘winning your wife back’ storyline, but you got the ‘winning your daughter back’ storyline.”

To win back his daughter, Qin joins a group called “The Battle to Protect Family Bonds” and asks the experts there for advice.

The experts tell him, “You have to pamper your daughter. One word: buy. Buy her whatever she wants.”

So, on Mi Li’s birthday, Qin makes a grand gesture and gives her a villa worth 300 million yuan.

The experts say, “A girl wants to feel special.”

So Qin gives Mi Li the most professional team available and puts the company’s top resources at her disposal.

After repeatedly seeing their top star show Mi Li special treatment, Jian Chenxi’s devoted fans gradually go from desperately denying it and trying to control the comments to numb acceptance. In the end, they give up completely. If you can’t beat them, join them. So when fans of rival stars show up under Mi Li’s Weibo calling her their sister-in-law, they rise up in protest: “She’s our sister-in-law, so stop claiming her! We’ll protect our sister-in-law.”
