Fang Wuqiu was a famous opera performer in the Jiangnan region of the Yu Dynasty, gentle and obedient. One day, he transmigrated and found himself a small-time internet celebrity facing a career crisis.
The livestreaming platform his original self had signed with was on the verge of shutting down, and Fang Wuqiu was so broke that he could only eat steamed buns for every meal.
Fortunately, he adapted quickly. Once he understood modern life, he saved the failing platform with a performance of "The Weeping Carp's Soul" and became its top streamer.
He just couldn't get used to what people in this era called the internet.
He struggled to communicate with viewers, couldn't banter or come up with punchlines, and even when the comments said, "So freaking adorable, Mommy loves you," all he could do was cover his face and blush in secret.
Fang Wuqiu bit his lower lip. "In the era I came from, such things were impossible. Women wouldn't spend all day calling you husband and asking to sleep with you!" [shocked.gif]
He searched Baidu for ages, hoping to find a shabby troupe and keep performing opera, but a sky-high breach-of-contract fee came crashing down on him.
Faced with the penny-pinching platform owner, Fang Wuqiu couldn't afford to terminate his contract, so he had no choice but to keep livestreaming and performing.
With his singing and recitation, he livestreams opera, relying on the skills he already has as he faces the days ahead.
His singing and dancing, delicate charm, and soft, supple presence have countless silly netizens falling for him.
He catches the eye of a certain man, who also gives him lessons, and the little opera performer starts chatting online.
Until one day, Fang Wuqiu discovers that the man who keeps pestering him to perform opera is none other than the celebrated movie star Chu Qian.
The clingy star is two years younger than him, gets jealous easily, and loves to nibble on people. He's a little wolfdog reincarnated.
One day, while livestreaming outdoors, Fang Wuqiu, now accustomed to his viewers' effusive compliments, softly reads an embarrassingly sweet comment.
Then he smiles and replies, "I love you all too."
The movie star beside him instantly goes on alert. He grabs Fang Wuqiu's hand and yanks him out of frame, putting an arm around him as he growls, "You're not allowed to like them. You can only like me."
Fang Wuqiu turns red, hopelessly flustered.
Comments: Aaaaaaaaaaa!
Passerby: Is that my idol Chu Qian? That voice sounds just like him.
Fans: Stop trying to claim clout. Can we be civilized fans, okay?
Hardcore solo fan: Certain internet celebrity fans should know their place. [smile]
Half a year later, Chu Qian films a reality show about daily life, shocking his many career-focused fans. Fang Wuqiu, now a viral sensation, is invited to join as well.
Director: "Guests, draw lots to form teams."
Chu Qian's lips curl ever so slightly as he discreetly raises an eyebrow at Fang Wuqiu.
The day the show airs, it blows up the trending charts.
Fans: Damn! Why does Chu Qian keep getting paired with that internet celebrity? Who's sabotaging our star? This is rigged!
CP fans: Holy crap, Fang Wuqiu is so gentle and the movie star is so manly. They're so perfect together. Mommy approves of this marriage.

Ting Qiu's first half of life was glorious: the sole heir to a wealthy family and the youngest movie star.
Ting Qiu's second half of life was bleak and lonely: his family fell into ruin, scandals followed him everywhere, and his life ended forever at the age of twenty-four.
That year, the flowers were in full bloom. The celebrated genius movie star joined a web drama as a supporting actor.
But he and the president of a top entertainment conglomerate, who had come to visit the set, both died on location.
The president, disabled since childhood, was ruthless and obsessive. His closeness to Ting Qiu was nothing but a desire for his beautiful body.
Ting Qiu thought he understood that, but he never knew how badly he had misjudged things.
A landslide. Two bodies.
The man held him tightly. As he lay dying, he struggled to say, "Ting Qiu, stay alive."
Not a down-and-out movie star. Not a wealthy family's ridiculed young master.
Ting Qiu. Just Ting Qiu.
For the first time, he heard the man call him by name.
But it was already too late.
-
When Ting Qiu wakes again, he has been reborn twenty years in the past, as a four-year-old child.
He looks around. Big Daddy is reading the newspaper by the window, Little Daddy is drinking tea on the balcony, and Ting Qiu stands in front of the cartoon, his little face set in a serious expression.
In his past life, a struggle among the wealthy had brought his family to bankruptcy overnight, and both his parents had died.
He had weathered countless ups and downs in the entertainment industry, only to end with his bones buried in the earth.
But now, every regret can be undone.
His parents can live long, safe lives. The Ting family can prosper. And then there's the man who died because of him...
Ting Qiu holds out his chubby little hands and says in a babyish voice, "I want to find him."
Little Daddy chuckles. "Who does Qiuqiu want to find?"
Thinking his son is asking about someone on TV, he looks over. It's a children's commercial.
Little Daddy understands. "Oh, him. His name is Ye Huai. Daddy worked with him on a show. He's a child actor."
Ting Qiu's beautiful eyes blink softly. So that cold-faced, fierce man had been part of his life since he was very, very young.
