Puppet theater has a history of a thousand years. Hua Xiaoyuan's family owned a puppet, and when she was ten, her grandfather gave it to her.
The human-shaped puppet had a face as beautiful as a painting. Xiaoyuan often sighed, "Beauty really is immortal. That face is incredible!"
Whenever she had a chance, she loved to tease him, taking all his clothes off to wipe down his body.
One night, she lay in bed holding the puppet and gave him a little kiss. She was completely satisfied.
Xiaoyuan told him, "If you were a real person, I'd pounce on you in a heartbeat."
The next morning, she tumbled out of bed with a thud, her face full of terror.
The man, his long hair falling over his shoulders, looked at her coldly. "What did you say last night about what you'd do if I were real?"

Hua Xiaoyuan is a minor livestreamer, way outside the entertainment industry's eighteenth tier. Ever since this man moved into her home, her life has been on the rise.
She realized this man was no ordinary person. Once he tied back his long hair, why did he look exactly like the Movie Emperor???
She never imagined she'd one day live with the Movie Emperor, who stayed at her place every day and refused to leave. The Movie Emperor's face was just so criminally tempting, though. It took all her self-control to resist every night!
The Movie Emperor drove Xiaoyuan to school every day in a luxury car, and unsavory rumors gradually spread around campus.
"Hua Xiaoyuan's being kept by some greasy old man!"
The Movie Emperor was furious, and the consequences were dire.
His red supercar screeched to a stylish stop at the school gates. He got out, half his face hidden behind dark sunglasses, wearing an expression that said, "I'm the boss, come at me if you've got a problem." Then he said, "So what if I'm keeping her?"
Half an hour later, the news broke: #PopularMovieEmperorAdmitsToKeepingFemaleCollegeStudentNamedHua!#
Hua Xiaoyuan: MMP :) Who's keeping whom? You live at my place, and you don't even pay for food!

The Movie Emperor introduced Hua Xiaoyuan to a bunch of hugely popular stars.
"The top traffic star, a fox spirit."
"The international supermodel, a scorpion spirit."
"The handsome star of a Korean boy band, a rabbit spirit."
Hua Xiaoyuan nearly choked.
In the end, she successfully infiltrated the monsters' circle. A rising star descended from the heavens, and with the Movie Emperor's help, she climbed all the way to become a top-tier star in the entertainment industry.
The stars: gnashing their teeth, consumed by jealousy!
