After Turning Myself In, I Became the Most Sought-After Resource

Ling Chuan is a rookie actor. As soon as he joins the crew, the male lead's agent orders him to hire people to smear the male lead online. In their first scene together, the male lead can't keep up with him, and they have to reshoot dozens of times. As soon as filming wraps, Ling Chuan is told he's been fired. Before he even gets home, he sees a press release claiming the male lead did dozens of retakes with him out of dedication to his work.

Ling Chuan: ...Just let the world end! This is a world run by the favored heirs of powerful families!

Just as Ling Chuan is about to give up on acting and switch to becoming a content creator, a System drops out of the sky. He becomes China's representative in the Civilization War and draws a skill:

Summon characters he has played to help him clear challenges.

After seeing the rewards for clearing a challenge, Ling Chuan spends exactly 0.1 seconds thinking it over, then grabs his phone and calls 12339.

The next day, Ling Chuan returns to the set in the male lead's costume and makeup, and jerks his chin at the director.

"Go get me a fruit platter."

An anonymous forum.

Who exactly is the power backing Ling Chuan? The biggest male-oriented web novel IP, Strange and Mysterious, has just been announced for adaptation, and he's the lead again!

Really?! Awesome! My dream adaptation is safe!

Why is it Ling Chuan again? In the past few years, he's gone from female-oriented to male-oriented stories, from historical dramas to mythological adaptations, and every one was a big-budget production with a famous director and screenwriter!

Exactly! He's taken all the good scripts. No one else even gets a taste!

I don't know what you're all whining about. Ling Chuan can act, the productions have big budgets, and they won't butcher the source material. I'd get on my knees and beg him to play the lead in my favorite novel!

Wait, you still have time to gripe about Ling Chuan? The evening news just announced that the country has successfully developed a warp drive and is establishing an interstellar aerospace academy!

I get all that, but why is Ling Chuan the academy's honorary president?
