After his college entrance exams, he entered the finance industry and achieved success. He unexpectedly reincarnates back to his high school days, works hard to lose weight, and transforms himself to take the art exams with Tian Xiwei. Before entering the entertainment industry, he paves his way to becoming a wealthy heir, holding numerous film and television IPs and thus free from the constraints of capital.

    I'd like to shamelessly recommend a book I wrote myself. It's absolutely meticulous, and the plot might develop rather slowly. If you prefer straightforward, fast-paced, action-packed novels, you might want to skip this. This isn't a fast-paced entertainment novel focused on instant gratification; it's a story about salvation, a tale that blends personal destiny, industry changes, historical memory, and national sentiment. It's also not one of those fast-paced, traditional entertainment novels that rely on constant film releases and awards to generate entertainment value.
