Lucky Carp Have Always Been Cheaters [Entertainment Industry]

Zhuang Miao is the entertainment industry’s greatest walking cheat code. He’s handsome, a skilled actor, and remarkably knowledgeable. He can solve advanced math problems with a pen and catch criminals with his bare hands. He’s the complete package. But he doesn’t see himself that way. He thinks his career in entertainment has gone exceptionally smoothly, as if the whole industry is just waiting for him to conquer it. Industry insiders who try to smear him always get exposed by his fans. Young stars who steal his roles end up crying that they’re quitting a week later. A coal boss who tries to get him into bed goes bankrupt in less than a month. Zhuang Miao: “I’m the chosen one. The world favors me. Everything I do goes smoothly, and anyone who offends me gets face-slapped by the Heavenly Dao.” Gu Han, the CEO busy face-slapping people on Zhuang Miao’s behalf: “...” A star who insists he succeeds through luck despite being genuinely talented x a CEO who’s the actual top but keeps getting called Dad Heavenly Dao Reader notes: 1. This novel has an alternate-world setting and doesn’t follow the real world exactly. Also, the Eighth Disciple has muddled memories that will return later. 2. The protagonist’s intelligence is about equal to the author’s. The author’s intelligence is only 5, and sometimes a mysterious force brings it down to 2.5. 3. This novel is part of the Mother Planet Didn’t Get Away with Dodging the Blame Today series. I insist that if anything is poorly written, it’s the Mother Planet’s fault. 4. I insist this is a serious power fantasy. 5. I don’t know much about the entertainment industry, so if you spot any plot holes, I hope you’ll point them out kindly. Theme: Skill is what really matters.
