[Since I've been leaving readers hanging with my last few stories, I've decided to write at least 100,000 words before posting. 4.3/10]
Ji Chuheng is a notorious pretty-boy celebrity and a master of clout-chasing. From award-winning actors and top-tier stars to internet celebrities and young male stars, he even targets esports champions. As long as someone has traffic, they're doomed to trend alongside him. He's earned the nickname "Porcelain Emperor."
One day, a travel variety show that claimed it was about to be canceled approached him, inviting him to join the cast as a regular and offering him an astronomical salary.
Ji Chuheng agreed without hesitation.
But on the first day of filming, he discovered that the other cast members were:
The young actor he'd clout-chased.
The top-tier star he'd clout-chased.
The esports champion he'd clout-chased.
The musical genius he'd clout-chased.
The nation's beloved young star he'd clout-chased.
Ji Chuheng: "..."
Ji Chuheng: "?"
Knowing that the more he said, the worse things would get, Ji Chuheng tried his best to stay out of the spotlight. But it seemed that the cast members he'd clout-chased had made up their minds not to let him fade into the background.
First guest, CEO of Wenyue: "Who am I interested in? Maybe Ji Chuheng?"
Second guest, young award-winning actor: "The actor who left the deepest impression on me in the entertainment industry? ...Ji Chuheng, I guess."
Third guest, esports champion: "Yeah, that's right... I chose my handle based on my brother's name."
And the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh guests: "I like him."
Thanks to the cast's tireless efforts, the show became an instant sensation when it aired, gaining huge popularity and breaking into the mainstream.
Viewers before the show aired:
"Wow, the Porcelain Emperor is clout-chasing again this year!"
"So annoying. Can Ji Chuheng get out of the entertainment industry already?"
"Just seeing the Porcelain Emperor makes me sick..."
Viewers after the show aired:
"All-Heng is the truth."
"All-Heng is the real deal."
"You made it into a dating show, apparently. Is this a dating show? Why are you all flirting?"
"Wishing you a long and happy life together."
[Tips:]
☆ My take on the everyone-loves-him trope. The protagonist isn't an upright, morally impeccable character, and his sense of morality is low. Everyone likes him, and the ending will most likely be open.
☆ There's a reconciliation-after-a-breakup storyline, and it will be pretty bittersweet.
☆ Advertising space available.
Theme: Love and peace
