I'm the Sharpest Mind in Entertainment [Reborn]

Shen Zhinan, an all-around brilliant, cool, and abstinent university professor, is unexpectedly reborn in the body of a disgraced young star in the entertainment industry who shares his name.

The moment Shen Zhinan opens his eyes, he finds himself lying on a huge bed.

A man named Huo Huaibei stands at the foot of it, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile as he looks at him. "You aren't worthy of climbing into my bed."

Because of this incident, Shen Zhinan becomes a laughingstock, and his reputation in the entertainment industry gets even worse.

Some time later, people are astonished to discover that the young star Shen Zhinan has stopped manufacturing scandals and cozying up to other people. Instead, he's appearing on all kinds of variety shows.

On a quiz show, Shen Zhinan is calm and languid as he says, "That poem is from 'Zai Chi' in the 'Airs of Yong' section of the Book of Songs."

On a survival-in-the-wilderness show, Shen Zhinan leads his team to complete the challenge faster than any team in the show's history.

The other celebrities watching are all left dumbfounded. Shen Zhinan becomes the entertainment industry's ultimate brainiac.

Later, the wealthy tycoon Huo Huaibei confesses his love to Shen Zhinan in public, but Shen Zhinan turns him down, adjusts his glasses, and says nonchalantly, "Sorry, you're not worthy of confessing your feelings to me."

A reporter interviews Shen Zhinan afterward. "You even turned down someone like Huo Huaibei. What is your ideal type?"

Languidly crossing his legs on the sofa, Shen Zhinan replies, "Nothing special. They just need to know Lagrangian mechanics."

The reporter shakily holds out the microphone. "Are... are you serious?"

Shen Zhinan presses his lips together and thinks for a moment. "Actually, knowing Maxwell's equations would work too."

Watching a recording of Shen Zhinan's interview, Huo Huaibei gives his secretary a dark look and orders, "Go cancel all my meetings today and find me a famous physicist to give me lessons."

Also known as: "I Have Tons of Money, but I'm Afraid to Tell My Wife. What Should I Do? Need an Answer ASAP" and "I Have to Pretend I'm Broke to Win My Wife Back. This Is So Hard"

While touring, top-tier star and all-around idol Pei Yi accidentally falls off the stage. When he wakes up, he discovers that he has transmigrated into a melodramatic novel as the leader of a tiny, obscure boy group, an eighteen-tier act about to be shelved by their agency.

Pei Yi says none of this is a problem: "Being an idol is my specialty! So is taking care of a baby group!"

The agency won't provide songs for the group? Pei Yi writes and composes their music himself. Their songs go viral and stay at the top of the hit charts.

No publicity or stages for their performances? Pei Yi leads his bandmates on a road trip to perform in the streets. A passerby films them and uploads the video. Pei Yi commands the stage with an explosive performance, hitting every beat with fiery, devastatingly cool flair. The video instantly racks up over a hundred million views, winning them a huge number of adoring fans.

As their popularity soars, they are inundated with acting and fashion opportunities, endorsements, and event invitations. At the year-end music awards, they win the award for Most Popular Boy Group of the Year.

Just as Pei Yi is at the peak of his fame, news of his relationship suddenly breaks. His boyfriend turns out to be an unknown penniless nobody who spends Pei Yi's money all day and lives in Pei Yi's house.

Netizens declare: "He's obviously a scheming little white lotus, scamming Pei Yi out of his money and feelings. Pei Yi is so innocent and genuine. Poor thing!"

Before Pei Yi can respond, people discover that the man at the top of the annual Forbes Rich List, the president of the Asia-Pacific region, Song Qi... looks exactly like Pei Yi's supposedly broke boyfriend!

The netizens finally get it: "Holy crap! Rich people really know how to have fun!"

Watching the reports with a dark expression, Pei Yi scoffs. "Asia-Pacific president? Didn't you tell me you sold houses?"

Song Qi guiltily rubs his nose. "I do have some involvement in real estate... You could say I'm a house salesman... I guess..."

Pei Yi raises an eyebrow with a cold laugh. "What about when you said you worked in a coal mine?"

Song Qi coughs. "My family... owns a few mines."

Pei Yi smiles. "And delivering takeout?"

Song Qi lowers his head. "I've dabbled in the food service industry too..."

Pei Yi: "You son of a bitch. You're rich and you still pretended to be broke. Take your stinking money and get out!"
