Reborn in 2009: My Celebrity Girlfriend

Lin Chuang, unemployed in middle age and at the lowest point in his life, wakes up one day to find himself back in the summer of 2009. And with his rebirth comes an ancient divine artifact containing immeasurable power: the Dinghai Pearl. It holds a world of its own, complete with a spirit-rich island paradise and mountains of treasures Ho Shen, the notoriously corrupt Qing dynasty official, once amassed: gold, silver, antiques, rare curios, precious medicines, and more.

Having weathered the hardships of his previous life, all Lin Chuang wants this time is to lie flat and enjoy a carefree life. He plans to buy the courtyard house he has always wanted, quietly cultivate immortality with a spirit-gathering formation, and use what he knows about the future to dabble in the stock market. He'll also anonymously borrow a few hit songs from the future and write a few blockbuster screenplays, then happily watch the entire entertainment industry go wild over these “mysterious works.”

Only after moving into his courtyard house does he discover that the popular actress Liu Shishi, at the height of her youth, lives next door. And through her circle of friends, he finds himself connected to half the future Chinese entertainment industry: Yang Mi, Deng Chao, Chen He, Liu Tianxian, Tang Yan, Reba, Gao Yuanyuan, Tong Yao, and more.

His imagined easygoing life takes a complete turn:

· He casually shows off a skill on Back to Field, prompting Teacher He to sincerely remark, “With Mr. Lin here, the whole tone of our show has been elevated.”

· His friends “kidnap” him into joining Divas Hit the Road as an unofficial guest, but the celebrity cast dotes on him the entire time. Viewers flood the comments: “This guy's the real hidden powerhouse!”

· He casually helps Yang Mi come up with the central concept for Sisters Who Make Waves. The show becomes a hit before it even airs, sparking nationwide anticipation.

· Hu Ge and Xue Zhiqian become regulars at his courtyard house, dropping by every day to mooch his spirit tea and calling the place a “sanctuary for the soul.”
