I Just Started Lying Flat and Collecting Rent, and Now a Girl Group Wants to Share My Place? What a Treat

The rating has just opened, so feel free to read.

Lin Zhou, the king of overwork and a top-tier star producer in the domestic entertainment industry, worked himself to the bone for seven days and nights straight, then died on the job.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become an ordinary young man in a parallel world called Blue Star, having just inherited a shabby little apartment building.

Tired of the world of fame and fortune, he had only one goal: earn enough to retire completely, become a landlord, and enjoy the dull, uneventful life of a rich man.

So he spent three years as “Jiuzhou Yanyu,” the internet’s most mysterious author, writing one hit novel after another. Then, under the secret identity “Qu Zhong Ren San,” he created countless hit songs for the biggest stars.

When his bank balance finally passed the hundred-million mark, Lin Zhou was satisfied. He deleted all his contacts and prepared to retire.

But on the first day of lying flat, the doorbell rang.

Outside stood five members of a C-list girl group, shelved by their company over contract issues, broke and unable to afford rent.

“Um... Handsome, could we pay a month’s rent in advance and work it off? We can do anything!”

Looking at their clear yet foolish eyes, Lin Zhou sighed.

“Fine, fine. Take this lousy song and use it as your group anthem.”

Several years later.

The hugely popular girl group Prism-X, having reached the highest musical stage in the world, held their trophy before a rapt audience and tearfully confessed to the whole world:

“The person we most want to thank isn’t our company or our fans. It’s our landlord. Without him, we wouldn’t be here.”

The global media erupted instantly.

At that moment, Lin Zhou was watching the broadcast and slurping instant noodles. He silently turned off the TV.

“Give me a break! Can’t you let me lie flat in peace?”
