Not long after Emperor Wu of Qi, Xiao Junze, ascended the throne, he was betrayed and killed. When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated several centuries into the future, to the modern era.
Someone was trying to send a washed-up little star to his bed.
He took one look. Well, wasn't this a coincidence? The little star looked exactly like the top scholar he'd once taken by force in his previous life.
Xiao Junze had enjoyed a sterling reputation in his first life, but after transmigrating into the body of a wastrel, he became known in the industry as the Spendthrift Prince. Every investment he touched flopped.
After transmigrating, Xiao Junze kept investing in TV dramas, movies, and variety shows.
People in the industry whispered that he was wasting even more money now. They were sure his investments would all go down the drain, and eagerly waited for him to go bankrupt and crawl back home in disgrace.
Later, every show Xiao Junze invested in became a smash hit, earning him a fortune. He was hailed as a Midas and the entertainment industry's most conscientious producer!
Countless people online lamented that the entertainment industry, controlled by capital and obsessed with popularity, could never recover its former glory.
Then, one day, several groundbreaking hit shows appeared out of nowhere.
After being poisoned by a string of terrible historical dramas, viewers were rewatching old classics and lamenting that there was nothing left to watch, when an unknown political intrigue drama burst onto the scene and became an instant hit.
"I blinked, and suddenly I couldn't follow the plot anymore."
"I thought I was pretty smart, but after watching this show, I'm sorry, maybe I haven't fully evolved yet."
"Ahhh, can all historical dramas please be made to this standard? I can't praise this enough!"
As viewers grew tired of one talent show after another, a variety show featuring Chinese-style music and dance caught everyone's attention.
"Damn! I never knew you could do this with Chinese-style music!"
"I'm suddenly in tears. With five thousand years of history and heritage behind us, how could we be any worse than other countries?"
"Beep! Your Emperor Experience Card has arrived."
"Ahhh! I finally understand what it's like to be an emperor!"
Later, people discovered that one name appeared behind all these hit shows.
That name was Xiao Junze!
Netizens flooded Xiao Junze's Weibo:
"Dad! From today on, you're my real dad. Please keep making shows at this level!"
"You can trust no one else, but you have to trust Dad Xiao's taste!"
"Hey, Dad Xiao, I'm the person in charge of the ranch. I just came by, but you weren't there. I only wanted to tell you that you're incredible!"
Bonus scene:
During the Chinese-style variety show, viewers flooded the comments with, "I finally understand what it's like to be an emperor!"
Xiao Junze, looking at the top scholar in his arms: No, you don't understand what it's like to be an emperor!
Reader's guide:
1. Ancient-to-modern transmigration. The gong retains his memories from his previous life throughout, while the shou recovers his memories later on.
2. The author has never been an emperor or a domineering CEO. All the information comes from the internet. If anything is inaccurate, please point it out and the author will do their best to fix it!
3. I just wanted to make it three points.
Theme: The grandeur of China will sweep across every corner of the world.
