The Entertainment Circle is Mine

[The blurb dates from 2018; see Weibo for details]

Xu Zhaixing's idol, Cen Feng, is a rising star in the entertainment industry.

She firmly believed that one day, everyone would see the light her idol radiated.

But she didn't live to see that day.

Cen Feng died by suicide at home because of depression.

It wasn't until after his death that the injustices he had suffered came to light.

It turned out he was an adopted orphan. It turned out his biological father was a murderer.

It turned out he had stopped playing the piano because a bandmate had deliberately broken his little finger by stepping on it.

It turned out he had been bullied within the group and had offended the executives, causing his share of the group's opportunities to be divided among others.

…

It turned out that the precious boy she had treasured in the palm of her hand, afraid he might break, had been trampled on like this, left covered in wounds.

Half a year later, Xu Zhaixing was reborn after a car accident. It was the year she started high school.

Cen Feng's suicide was still ten years away.

I'll use these ten years to pave a broad road for you.

Everyone who ever hurt you will be kept far away from you.

Big brother, this time, let's walk the road to stardom together.

Cen Feng, who had died by suicide because of depression, was reborn ten years in the past.

Living his life over again, he finally understood how laughable all those hopes he'd once held had been.

What awaited him in the future had never been flowers and happiness.

He tore off his disguise and cast aside his public persona, just waiting for his contract to expire so he could leave this hypocritical world of fame and fortune.

Manager: Cen Feng! The company wants you to debut as the center!

Cen Feng! A major variety show has invited you to be a regular guest!

Cen Feng! Director Zhang has specifically requested you for the lead role in his new drama!

Cen Feng! Pick whichever of these luxury brand endorsements you want!

Cen Feng: ???

Where the hell did all these opportunities come from?

I long to ride the wind, but the world is mired in mud. You are my only island.

[Both leads are reborn; a story of saving and being saved, with a career focus in the early part]

[An aloof idol who has accepted life and death and has no interest in promoting himself X A powerful fan who thinks her big brother deserves the best and wants to give him every opportunity]

“Big brother” is a term fans use for their idols; they are not related by blood.

There is no real-life inspiration. Please don't read it as referring to anyone.

My new novel, "Ghostly Amusement Park [Infinite]", has started serializing~

[Purely Chinese-style / folk-custom horror scenarios]

One ordinary afternoon, a high-dimensional paranormal System called [Ghosts] invaded human society.

After that day, reports of people seeing ghosts surged everywhere, and accidental deaths rose sharply.

Just as humanity was at a loss, [Ghosts] launched a global livestream:

Ding! Congratulations, you've been selected to take part in "Horror Variety Show"~

You're a star adored by the audience with plenty of followers, so that's why you were chosen. Use your popularity points to stay alive in each scenario~ You're the brightest star of all!

After each scenario, the star with the fewest popularity points will be eliminated and become a ghost's dinner, so do your best!

Become famous or die, hehe~

Li Zhi, an obscure bit-part actor who had spent years appearing in television dramas without becoming known,

looked at the top-tier star to his left, then at the nation's sweetheart to his right,

and managed a determined smile.

From an unknown bit-part actor to a star player ranked far ahead of everyone else in scenario popularity

From nothing to something

From something to destruction

[Even when this world became a playground for ghosts, I never forgot that I was human.]

Theme: I long to ride the wind, but the world is mired in mud. You are my only island.
