[Career-focused heroine who makes money + satisfying face-slapping moments + metaphysics in the entertainment industry + two powerful leads who dote on each other]
Shen Xingruo unexpectedly inherits a bankrupt entertainment company saddled with tens of millions in debt, along with a battered copy of The Lost Scroll of the Investiture of the Gods.
In this age of spiritual decline, when gods fade away without belief, the only way to regain divine power turns out to be making it in the entertainment industry and earning fan traffic?
Looking at a group of down-and-out gods waiting to be fed, Shen Xingruo waves her hand. “You’re all signed! Room and board included. I’ll help you conquer the domestic entertainment industry!”
And just like that, the entertainment industry takes a sharp turn.
The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, livestreams sales: “Folks, today I’m selling at a loss, pure charity! The top ten on the leaderboard will have their Huabei debts paid off by yours truly!”
The nine-tailed fox Daji had planned to go for the sultry temptress look, but after demolishing ten bowls of rice on a variety show, she becomes the entertainment industry’s number-one ditzy beauty, and the whole internet is overjoyed to become her mom fans.
The ancient God of War, Xingtian, goes to film a martial arts drama. He thinks the wirework looks too fake, so he smashes a prop mountain with his bare hands and becomes a top-tier star known for his tough-guy image.
A rival company gets jealous and hires a smear campaign to attack them across the internet?
The Black and White Impermanence’s PR director gives a cold laugh. “Check the Book of Life and Death, trace the connection back through the internet, and ban them in person.”
The entire internet is stunned. What kind of divine company is Xingmang Entertainment?!
Shen Xingruo makes money until her hands ache, until one day, Lu Tingxiao, the cold-tongued, aloof actor who has won two Best Actor awards, corners her against a wall, golden light blazing from the talismans between his fingers.
“President Shen, the Celestial Master Bureau is investigating. You’re suspected of illegally harboring gods. Come with me?”
Shen Xingruo calmly pulls out a contract. “Actor Lu, you’re one of my signed artists too. The penalty for breaking your contract is ten billion. How are you going to pay?”
Lu Tingxiao puts away the talisman, the tips of his ears turning red. “I have no money. I’ll have to offer myself to you to pay off the debt.”
