[Keywords: showbiz, System, outrageous antics, meme references, wish fulfillment, slow burn, faster pacing as the story progresses, wild ride]

People transmigrate all the time. At last, it's my turn.

Han Bao looks at his ridiculously handsome face in the mirror and doesn't panic at all.

The good news: A few months ago, I was a top-tier star, the kind who'd trained for two and a half years.

The bad news: A few months from now, I'll be a washed-up nobody, the kind with a revenge alliance led by a diva, universally hated online, with a bunch of major accounts counting down to my retirement.

The good news: My golden finger has arrived, and my very first song reward is one of Jay Chou's greatest masterpieces.

The bad news: It's called “Far Away,” and I need someone to collaborate with. But I'm the entertainment industry's resident villain, hated by everyone and a walking disaster.

The good news: There's a Teacher Fei in this world too. As luck would have it, he's also a villain.

The bad news: I'm a pretty boy who can't sing, dance, rap, or act. I'm useless at everything, but number one at stirring up trouble.

Meeting Teacher Fei.

His manager is flattered and astonished, wondering what he did to deserve more face than all those superstar kings and queens.

Arriving at the recording studio.

Everyone stares at me like I'm an animal, exclaiming that they've finally seen the useless pretty boy in person! But why does this villain look like an angel?

Arriving on the film set.

Did I just stumble into a gathering of the Beijing film industry's biggest names? That's Uncle Ge, Director Jiang Wen, Teacher Zhiwen... So why did I get cast as a girly bottom?

After transmigrating, Han Bao goes from Han the Useless to Han the Treasure. He'll take this former body's handsome but worthless shell and give it a future full of success.

If he wants to lie flat and retire early, first he has to crush the competition.

Using his System-powered identity as a song-plagiarizing porter, he'll teach the entertainment workers of this world a thing or two about fighting back!
