[One heroine + intense romantic push-and-pull + fiercely protective of each other + unhinged antics + showbiz + feel-good power fantasy]
In his previous life, Xu Zheng was an all-purpose ghostwriter who worked himself to death under workplace bullying. After he transmigrated, he found himself trapped in a hopeless situation, hated by the entire internet. Then it hit him: forget about having any self-respect, and enjoy a shameless life!
Hoping to get eliminated as soon as possible and collect a 100,000-yuan breach-of-contract payout, he parachutes into the island dating reality show Dangerous Romance. His job is to play a nobody destined to be cannon fodder and take the blame for the top-tier star hero.
He plans to treat the dating show as an outlet for his frustrations, take them out on the production crew, and get himself blacklisted across the internet so he can take the money and leave.
When people accuse him of taking an award-winning actress to a seafood market and making her look cheap, she sneers, “I love the smell of seafood. This is what real life is all about. What the hell would you know?”
Watching the fiery award-winning actress fight the whole internet on his behalf, Xu Zheng panics. “Ma’am, I cause trouble every day and I’m in debt. What on earth do you see in me?”
Li Wanyin raises her phoenix eyes. “I like the scallion oil noodles you make. And besides… I’m happy to support you, even if I have to throw myself at you!”
Then one day, a powerful mogul finally flips the table. Dozens of bodyguards surround the villa, and he slaps down a 10-million-yuan compensation claim, vowing to blacklist Xu Zheng for good.
Just as Li Wanyin is about to buy him out with her unlimited black card, Xu Zheng calmly pulls out a stack of contracts for hit songs that have gone viral across the internet and film and TV rights from top directors.
“Mr. Jiang, 10 million isn’t even a fraction of what I earned selling screenplay royalties last month.”
Xu Zheng flings the termination notice in the mogul’s face, then turns around and wraps an arm around Li Wanyin’s waist.
“Sis Li, I paid the penalty myself. You can use the rest of the royalties to buy some pork ribs.”
Li Wanyin: ???
The entire internet: ??? We thought you were a broke nobody. How are you secretly the godfather of the entertainment industry?!
