Reborn: I Shattered My Idol Image [Entertainment Industry]

A freak accident caused Qi Huan, the top traffic-generating movie star in the industry, to transmigrate into the body of Shu Cheng, a little-known star ranked near the bottom of the industry.

Given a second chance at life, Qi Huan had planned to quietly retire from showbiz and live as an ordinary person. But things did not go quite as smoothly as he had hoped...

Why does this pretty boy, who only wants to leave showbiz, retire, and coast through life, keep using his acting skills to slap his haters in the face?

How did the male supporting character ranked eighteenth get more and more screen time until he was gunning for the male lead role?

Why does this handsome young star keep going into the movie emperor's bedroom and not coming out all night? (Strikethrough)

[The Serious Blurb]

After Shu Cheng agreed to take a film offer and play an utterly insignificant extra, the whole internet began eagerly awaiting the chance for his unbearably awkward acting to bring a source of joy to the increasingly bland online world.

But things seemed to take a slightly awkward turn.

Hater A: He's going to embarrass himself again, he's going to embarrass himself again. That pretty-boy vase is going to make a fool of himself~~

Hater B: Seriously, if he can act this role well, I'll change my surname to his.

Hater C: +1

Hater D: +2

Across the entire entertainment industry, the only other young movie emperor who could be mentioned in the same breath as the late Qi Huan was Ji Linyuan. Recently, he'd heard plenty of gossip and dirt about a certain little star from a junior fellow disciple.

As luck would have it, not long afterward, that little star showed up to audition for a production he'd invested in.

Ji Linyuan: I won't cast him. I've seen his work. I don't like pretty-boy vases. This is my decision alone. No discussion. Meeting adjourned.

[After the Audition]

Movie Emperor Ji: Sign him!!!!

[Bonus Scene]

Shu Cheng: B-Boss, I don't think I should take this role... We should leave the opportunity to someone else. I just came to join in the fun today.

Ji Linyuan: No. I only want you to play it.

Shu Cheng: ...When are you ever going to learn to be reasonable?

Ji Linyuan: Fine, let's be reasonable. Room 2204 at the Jiayu Hotel. If you don't come, I'll give the role to someone else tomorrow.

Shu Cheng: ?? Could we discuss the appearance fee first, please?

Blurb for "Dumb Support, Eat This Punch [Esports]" ↓

[The title and the story itself may have only one thing in common: they're both overflowing with ridiculousness.] [Honestly, I don't even know why I came up with this title...] [Blank stare.jpg]

After ALC, the LPL's champion team, defended their World Championship title and won the S tournament trophy once again, the team's star bottom-laner Lin Su (Athor) decided to take a short break. He started a casual livestream at the team base, playing a position he rarely played.

He didn't expect something unexpected to happen in the very first game.

Lin Su, instantly recognized by both his teammates and opponents, happened to run into one of his own rabid (die-hard) fans (idiots). The guy was playing AD for the opposing team, and immediately started interacting with Lin Su nonstop.

Jionor: Lin Su-su! You're my darling! You're my precious baby!

System: Jionor has slain ALC Athor?

Lin Su: ...

Jionor: Baby, don't run away as soon as you see me! You were so cool in the finals! I'm crazy for you, I'll go wild for you, I'll smash my head into the wall for you!!

System: Jionor has slain ALC Athor

Lin Su: ...

Jionor: Baby, my ultimate will be ready in five seconds! Come here and let me get a look at you. Charge, little Lin Su!

Lin Su: Get the hell away from me!!!!!!!

Later, Lin Su found out by chance that this guy was a small-time streamer on the Wangjing livestreaming platform, with the username San Mumu.

What's more, ever since that livestream, a topic boosted by his fans, #IfSoloKillingBrotherLinOnceIsWorthBraggingAboutForAYear,HowManyYearsCanSanMumuBragAboutThisGame#, had sent his popularity soaring. He even topped the streamer rankings during prime time.

Lin Su, who'd been caught in the crossfire for no reason, ended up feeling a little depressed for a while.

Strangely, though, less than a week after San Mumu's channel took off, the streamer suddenly announced an indefinite hiatus.

Lin Su thought the whole thing would gradually fade away with the hiatus. But when he learned that San Mumu was Xia Wanyang, the substitute AD promoted from the academy team this year, he felt he really needed to give serious thought to transferring...

Later, thanks to his gaming skills, Xia Wanyang easily claimed a starting position on ALC.

Later, thanks to his personal charm, Xia Wanyang easily earned the title of the next generation's esports heartbreaker.

Later, thanks to his physical prowess, Lin Su easily made Xia Wanyang stay out all night and unable to get out of bed (?)

[That's enough, or this'll turn into an incident... (looking into the distance)]

[Early Days as Teammates]

Xia Wanyang: Don't be scared, baby. Hide behind me. I'll block the skills for you!

Lin Su: Go position yourself properly.

"You got it, bro."

[Later Days as Teammates]

Xia Wanyang: Duo queue tonight. You trash AD, get over here and be my dog.

Lin Su: Woof!
