Lu Zhiyao transmigrates to Blue Star and becomes a struggling writer with just 300 followers. He’s dirt poor, and his editor chews him out to his face. But he doesn’t panic at all, because a System Library has appeared in his mind, stocked with blockbuster masterpieces honed to perfection in another world.
Battle Through the Heavens: “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.” Its first chapter is enough to bring his editor to his knees.
Ghost Blows Out the Light: “Light the candle, and the ghosts blow it out.” It launches a whole new tomb-raiding genre.
Jade Dynasty: Baguio takes a sword for someone, leaving readers across the internet in tears.
To Live, White Deer Plain, One Hundred Years of Solitude: From web fiction to serious literature, he sweeps the Mao Dun Literature Prize.
The Ring, Incantation, Ju-on: He rewrites the history of Chinese horror cinema, turning Sadako and Kayako into nationally recognized icons of fear.
Blue Hour: An indie psychological horror film that confronts the struggles of sexual minorities and family trauma, moving countless “unseen people” to sob uncontrollably.
Farewell My Concubine, Cinema Paradiso, The Shawshank Redemption: From the Palme d’Or at Cannes to international cinematic acclaim, he becomes a legend.
Tang Sanshao refuses to accept defeat. Three big-name authors join forces to suppress him, while their fans and paid online shills come out in full force. Lu Zhiyao hits back with “20,000-plus words a day and four simultaneous serials,” taking them on head-on with sheer output and silencing every critic with quality.
He becomes the top name in web fiction, a cultural godfather, and an inescapable figure in Blue Star’s film history.
A reporter asks, “What’s the secret to your success?”
Lu Zhiyao looks into the camera and says earnestly, “It’s not that I’m great. People from another world are just that good. I’m only a slightly overzealous content lifter.”
