[Rich Layabout] + [Entertainment Industry] + [Songs in Exchange for Labor] + [Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger]
Lin Musen transmigrates to Blue Star. On the day he graduates from college, he inherits a seaside farm spanning a thousand mu, plus a hundred million in cash left by his parents.
His parents were the “Dynamic Duo” of the financial world, the sort who could make the wealthy reshuffle their portfolios overnight just by naming them.
Lin Musen, however, just wants to lie flat and farm.
Two years ago, he casually wrote “The Wind Rises” for the reigning diva Jiang Nanzhi when her career hit a wall, sending her straight to the top.
Two years later, Jiang Nanzhi hits another career rut and storms the farm to ask for a song. Lin Musen names his price: no money, just work.
Picking vegetables, feeding horses, sweeping the riding arena: the diva has to do it all.
When word gets out, the entire entertainment industry rushes to this farm called “Naming a Farm Is So Hard”:
A washed-up king of pop lines up to pull weeds,
A top-tier star rolls up his sleeves to haul bricks,
And a film emperor with an astronomical paycheck crouches in the fields catching bugs.
Nobody knows that this farmer in rubber boots has an entire planet’s worth of entertainment treasures in his head.
Even fewer know that anyone who dares touch his farm will give the entire world of capital nightmares overnight.
When the diva, eyes red, holds up her Grammy-caliber new song and asks what reward he wants, Lin Musen rests his hoe on his shoulder and smiles faintly:
“Work for another three months, and I’ll add a chorus to the song.”
