Raising an Actor in a Paper-Doll Game

Li Nian'an finds a virtual boyfriend-raising game on her phone.

The impossibly handsome paper-doll boy in it is none other than the idol she's been a fan of for years, Wen Gui, the legendary movie star who's now at the peak of his career!

As a child, her idol led a difficult, unsettled life. His deep-set eyes always held a sharp, somber look.

When she tries to be friendly, the young idol looks down at her coldly. "You'd better behave, little shrimp."

Later, the young idol gets surrounded by a group of people and wins, but ends up battered and bleeding.

She cries, and he panics. "Don't cry. I'm terrible at comforting kids."

"How about you blow on it for me?"

Li Nian'an has a blast playing the game, not noticing that, little by little, she, an idol in a girl group, and movie star Wen Gui keep having all these "chance encounters." Wen Gui's gaze grows deeper by the day...

A hugely popular dating reality show comes calling, and her idol, who never appears on variety shows, chooses to be her partner.

The starlets who've been trying to step on her all get their comeuppance, and she snags a luxury brand endorsement.

A famous director invites her to audition for the female lead, and she wins the Best Actress crown in one fell swoop...

Netizens are convinced there must be something going on behind the scenes, while haters accuse her of using Wen Gui's fame.

Then one day, a secretly taken photo from a film set leaks. Li Nian'an is pinned against a century-old ginkgo tree, her lips swollen and her legs weak.

Netizens: A kissing scene, it has to be a kissing scene!

Wen Gui reposts the photo with a retort: What kind of kissing scene leaves someone's lips swollen?

No one knows that, thanks to a virtual boyfriend game, a young girl appeared in Wen Gui's loneliest, hardest years, when he was at his lowest. From then on, even the boy cursed to be a lone star had a place to call home.

After transmigrating through 687 books, Tang Yu finally reaches the last book before retirement. Her mission is to be a player and become the four powerful men's doomed first love.

Tycoon One: The most celebrated doctor in medical history, currently a pitiful boy being bullied at school.

Tang Yu knocks out a bully with every punch and arches a brow. "He's mine. Got it?"

The pitiful boy stares fixedly at her beautiful profile, his eyes dark and bright.

Tycoon Two: The movie star at the top of the entertainment industry, currently a stray kitten drenched in the rain.

Tang Yu takes off her school uniform and wraps it around the shivering kitten. "Be good. Come home with Mommy."

Tang Yu leans close. "Want to stand again, my young master?"

The young master's ears gradually turn red.
