Showbiz: I Faked My Death for Five Years, and the Diva Came to My Door with a Child

Five years ago, Yan Ci bound himself to the Star-Making System and used his very life as fuel to ignite seven of the entertainment industry’s brightest stars. To help them break through their bottlenecks and ascend to the top, he had no choice but to play the ultimate heartless jerk: just when they loved him most, he cruelly abandoned them, faked his death, and withdrew to a secluded paradise to raise pigs and grow vegetables.

The little girl blinked her big eyes and pointed at Yan Ci, who was feeding pigs. “Mommy, is that handsome uncle Daddy?” The whole internet exploded in an instant! The servers crashed! But this was only the beginning of the nightmare. The queen of pop smashed her microphone. “Yan Ci isn’t dead? Where’s my knife!” The icy screen legend laughed furiously through her tears. “Well, well, hiding here and living the good life? Get the car ready!” The heiress of a powerful conglomerate dispatched her private jet. “Shut down the air routes. Don’t let him get away this time!” Watching his seven top-tier star ex-girlfriends swarm toward him, Yan Ci trembled: “System, you never said retirement would be a hell-level battlefield of romantic rivals!”
