Lin Yi, a young man who drifted north to Beijing, was once a struggling singer with dreams of making music. But his childhood friend Zhang Lei, consumed by jealousy, sabotaged him by changing the lyrics of his original song and submitting it under his own name, then stealing all of Lin Yi's savings. After a series of crushing setbacks, Lin Yi finally took his own life in despair beneath a bridge. By a stroke of fate, he is reborn and bound to the All-Round Entertainment System, completely changing the course of his life.
At first, he keeps a low profile as a security guard at a Wangjing residential complex. In his guard booth, he uses inspiration exchanged through the System to write songs. His song “Tales of the Old City,” infused with insights drawn from everyday life, lands him a contract with a music platform and earns him his first fortune on the road to a comeback. His fate takes a turn at Panjiayuan, where he reunites with Xiaohui, the owner of a curio shop who helped him recover his family heirloom, a Four-Tower walnut. The two go from admiring each other to building a life together. Xiaohui becomes not only his wife but also his key business partner.
After that, Lin Yi carefully expands his presence in the entertainment industry. He starts a studio and signs Lao Zhou, a middle-aged singer who came up from humble beginnings, then creates “Middle-Aged Frontline Alliance” just for him. The song becomes a sensation, making the studio an overnight success. He discovers Su Man, a newcomer from a talent show, and uses his sharp musical instincts and resources to make her a top-tier star. The studio then grows into Yixing Entertainment. Although he encounters setbacks along the way, such as Zhang Lei teaming up with former employee Liu Mei to spread rumors that he plagiarized, and industry investors trying to squeeze him out, he always clears his name with the System's “information tracing” feature and overcomes each crisis with strong work and savvy business planning.…
I recommend reading this book; it has a clear plot and plenty of suspense.
