The top comment from netizens wished him a happy life just like the male lead in Every Man in the World Loves Me. Deeply moved, Bai Yiqiu went to see just how happy the male lead was, and discovered a whole new world. Bai Yiqiu: "Damn! What do you mean, the romance between one man and six men? What are these choosing-a-consort scenes and these battle royales for love? This is terrifying!" Even more terrifying, Bai Yiqiu slipped and fell into a storm drain. When he woke up, he found he had really become the universally adored male lead of a ridiculous novel... A novel about a universally adored lead is bound to have six powerful love interests, each harder to deal with than the last. Bai Yiqiu put his single-dog, heart-of-steel talents to work and held his ground. Ghost King: "I'll give you my Umbrella of a Hundred Ghosts. When other people fight, they summon their underlings. You can summon a hundred ghosts. How cool is that!" Bai Yiqiu: "Just say you want me to pay your ghosts' wages." Celestial Master: "I'll teach you the art of summoning thunder. You'll be connected to the Wi-Fi of the Three Realms. If any human, ghost, or god bullies you, just file a complaint!" Bai Yiqiu: "Forget it. Wouldn't tying a wire to myself be faster?" Childhood Friend: "Wherever you go, I'll go. I'll follow you to the ends of the earth. I believe that one day the clouds will part and the moon will shine." Bai Yiqiu: "I'm the sun." Movie Star: "I'll save the lead role in my next movie for you. I'll make you everyone's dream lover." Bai Yiqiu: "I don't want to act in a gay movie, thanks." Overbearing CEO: "I bought every guesthouse with five-star reviews online. Now you can stay anywhere you like when you travel." Bai Yiqiu: "I'm old. I can't keep up anymore. I just want to be a shut-in." Mysterious Man: "You've been avoiding me? Fine, let's make a bet. If you successfully avoid me, I'll let you do whatever you want to me. If you fail, you'll let me do whatever I want to you." Bai Yiqiu: "Close the door. Umbrella of a Hundred Ghosts, go!"
