Jiang Tingxue was an award-winning director in the industry in the 1980s, but unexpectedly transmigrated to the 21st century.
This person shared his name, and although he was the Jiang family's biological son, everyone called him the "King of Box-Office Flops." He was inferior in every way to the impostor who had usurped his place.
Worse, just to outshine the fake young master, he went after the older brother of the person the impostor had a crush on.
After pursuing him relentlessly, he met a tragic end.
Jiang Tingxue: But what does any of that have to do with me?
In an era this great, of course I'm going to make movies!
Jiang Tingxue returned to his old profession and threw himself into a project that had run out of funding.
The Jiang family thought he was acting up again.
His eldest brother said coldly, "Stop making a scene. Xiao Qian is my only younger brother. I won't give you a second glance."
Jiang Tingxue: "Oh." He went back to writing the script.
His second brother sneered, "Now you're trying to imitate someone else again? Let's see how long you can keep up the act."
Jiang Tingxue couldn't even be bothered to look at him and continued sketching storyboards.
At a banquet, the fake young master performed a traditional Chinese-style dance to thunderous applause.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tingxue cornered someone in a quiet spot.
A man who was impeccable in both looks and physique.
With a serious expression, Jiang Tingxue asked, "Would you be willing to play the male lead?"
Song Siyu, thoroughly fed up with his harassment, raised an eyebrow.

The Jiang family realized Jiang Tingxue had changed. He turned and walked away, never to return to the Jiang household.
At the same time, a dark horse emerged in the directing world.
He turned an unknown young actor into a Best Actor, and his underfunded film swept up countless awards.
A paparazzo revealed that this director was the biological son of that wealthy family.
The revelation also brought to light scandals involving the fake young master stealing and plagiarizing, and the Jiang family neglecting their biological son while lavishing attention on their adopted son.
The Jiang family became the target of public outrage. Their cash flow dried up, and they were on the verge of bankruptcy.
The Jiang family regretted everything. They pooled money within the family and spent tens of millions on a prized collectible, all to win Jiang Tingxue's favor.
Before they could deliver it, the feared young master of a powerful family stopped them.
"What kind of junk is this? You think you can bring it to my husband?"
What do you do when your husband is too popular? Asking online. It's urgent.
[Bonus Scene]
The weather turned cold. Jiang Tingxue and Song Siyu stood off against each other at the doorway, both refusing to give in, while Jiang Tingxue looked disdainfully at the thermal underwear.
After nearly five minutes of this silent battle, Song Siyu lost patience. He hoisted Jiang Tingxue over his shoulder, carried him back to the bedroom, and pulled off his pants.
The usually cool and composed Jiang Tingxue flushed red. He kicked Song Siyu in the chest and accused him, "Pervert."
Song Siyu looked up at him and kissed the top of his foot. "Call me that a few more times. I like hearing it."
