After welcoming yet another death, the phoenix demon emperor Zhaoming was reborn in flames once more.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in modern society, several centuries in the future. Familiar faces from his past lives had all become important figures in the history books.
Even he had earned a few lines of his own, and quite a few fans.
But even a famous bird from history has to make a living. Looking at his completely blank resume, Zhaoming was so worried he was losing feathers.
To make the most of his good looks and gather the faith he needed to cultivate, Zhaoming decided to take the entertainment industry by storm and let the world admire the most beautiful bird around.
But starting out was tough. One talented bird demon after another came from prestigious acting schools, and his looks alone couldn't even land him a birdseed commercial.
He thought about revealing his identity to cash in on his past life's fame, but nobody believed him, and everyone mocked him instead.

But gradually, things began to feel a little off.
The great clans discovered he was the sacred bird from their ancestral teachings who would save their family, and invited him home to enjoy a life of wealth and luxury;
Scholars discovered he had taken part in important events and invited him to join their research;
His history-loving female friend discovered he was her favorite character, and frantically took back the grave-tending gesture she'd made...
Fans: Wasn't all that just you running your mouth? How can it all be real???
Just as Zhaoming finally passed the entertainment company's audition, an enemy who should have been dead and buried suddenly showed up as his manager, claiming he wanted to protect him?
It had to be a scheme!
To stop this bird-killing fiend from committing another crime, Zhaoming watched his every move day and night, ready to gather enough evidence to catch him in the act.
But his manager was powerful and devastatingly handsome, and looked at him with such a tender, broken gaze!
How did he know that was exactly Zhaoming's type?
After living several lifetimes, Zhaoming found his tail fluffing up and his feathers tingling under that gaze.
Fine, he could be an enemy. If he tried anything bad, Zhaoming would lock him up in a bird's nest!
