Ye Han was flamboyant, spoiled, promiscuous, and a troublemaker. In his previous life, he was all the rage, abusing his status as an award-winning actor to ruin people without end. But he loved Duan Yunchu without ever winning his heart, and ultimately ended up abandoned by everyone, dying a gruesome death.
Reborn, Ye Han decides to turn his life around. Every small-time nobody he gives a hand to becomes a big shot, all following his lead and scrambling to make their way into the entertainment industry.
Real estate tycoon: Brother Han, you must do us the honor of endorsing the world's biggest amusement park.
Tech CEO: Brother Ye, help me promote my top-ranked mobile game. Here's a max-level account. Give it a try?
Godfather of music: Ye, this song, "Little Leaf," is my labor of love. It represents all the time we've spent together.
Grand Slam-winning actor: The gift is docked at the harbor. Want to celebrate your birthday together tonight? If the paparazzi catch us, let's call it an official announcement~
Ye Han feels himself getting carried away again and hurriedly puts on his sunglasses to make a run for it. At the airport, someone who has just returned in triumph from a film festival stops him. "Let's make this clear: he's my family's childhood betrothed."
Ye Han: "...Duan Yunchu?!"
Bonus scene:
Duan Yunchu, wearing a bathrobe, closes his laptop and pulls Ye Han into his arms. "Don't look at that anymore, honey. It's your husband's birthday today."
Ye Han trembles. "Director Duan, why don't you just get to the point?"
Duan Yunchu: "Be the lead in my new film and break into the international awards circuit."
Ye Han leans toward him. "Hmm, tell me more?"
Duan Yunchu's lips curl up. "A romantic art film. Written, directed, produced, and acted in by me."
"Wow, then you can do whatever you want?"
"That's right." Duan Yunchu pins him in the crook of his arm and gradually leans closer. "Can I have your schedule?"
"My fee is very high~"
"How about I give you the rest of my life? Is that enough?"
A supremely talented, wickedly ambitious award-winning actor on the bottom, versus a cool, calculating director whose schemes are a cut above, on top.
Theme: After being reborn, the protagonist learns from his mistakes, helps others, and gives back to society. Good people are rewarded.
