Ruan Youtian grew up in an oppressive family. Sensitive and awkward from childhood, he hated socializing and had a way of offending people whenever he opened his mouth.
He wanted to escape his fate, but it always kept him in chains. He buried himself in his studies and became a bookworm in everyone else's eyes, good for nothing but studying. At least he was handsome, so he was a pretty bookworm.
Who could have guessed that this bookworm would enter the entertainment industry and land the lead role in a TV drama out of nowhere?
He thought it was a forced choice that would let him start a different life. But with his distinctive way of thinking and his own approach to doing things, Ruan Youtian not only became an oddball in the entertainment industry, he also stumbled into an unconventional, inspiring journey to the top.

Before the face-slapping:
Director: Probably another stiff-faced pretty-boy with powerful connections. Why do I always get stuck with this kind of trash? Heaven has forsaken me, jealous of my talent!
Viewers: If you bought your way onto the set, get out! Give the entertainment industry back its clean slate! AY Company is getting worse and worse. Shoving someone down our throats will bring divine retribution!
Antis: Don't think you can step on my fave to climb to the top! Today, we'll tear you apart until you quit the entertainment industry! I'll bet you'll end up doing the splits upside down!
After the face-slapping:
Director: Xiao Ruan, how about starring in my next drama too? Make sure to keep your schedule free!
Viewers: Please, we need behind-the-scenes footage! Who started that rumor that Ruan Youtian can't act? Come out and fight me!

"What do you think about the slander you faced in the past?"
"I don't think anything of it."
As he grew, no one expected that Ruan Youtian, a naturally gifted performer, was also a formidable person with a mind of his own.
Ruan Youtian: I'm a handsome bookworm who can act.
◆Reader's Guide◆
1. The male lead isn't very likable at first, but he becomes more cheerful as the story goes on.
2. The male lead isn't actually dim-witted; he's just bad at socializing.
3. The pacing is slow, and it's not especially indulgent or thrilling. This is a slow-burn story about growth.
4. Thanks for supporting the official release. It's more fun to read on Jinjiang.
[Thanks to the amazing artist for drawing the character designs!]

The Fairy Big Shot 2 [Entertainment Industry]
After reading it, I felt that the author had created a fairy tale dream for the beautiful, powerful but tragic male protagonist. In the dream, I have the support of kind-hearted seniors and the care of fans. Even if there are some who are short-sighted, they can't stir up the slightest splash, just like being stung by pebbles while walking on the road. Life in the entertainment industry is basically smooth sailing, and all the people I meet are good people. . Real life in the entertainment industry may not be so beautiful. . . The final parallel world is not very clear whether the author wanted to give the male protagonist another life or if he had other thoughts in his heart, but I think it is unnecessary. The male protagonist's gloomy childhood is part of his life. His lack of love, sensitivity but positivity are all his own, and life is just a process of healing himself. In another life, it would be another person who is equally good. There's no other meaning, just some emotion after watching the protagonist's wonderful life?
When I saw that this was a slow read, I thought it was a long story. I can read another two hundred chapters▽
What did Ah Ruan post on Weibo? Why was it garbled?
Why are there no scenes with classmates? I want to see Zaizai's god of learning shine on them.
Indeed, names always contain the blessings and expectations of elders
Thanks for the limited exemption. Please give me more extras. Ah Ruan in the south is so disturbing. I just want to see more of Ah Ruan's sweet daily life in the parallel world.
It's a bit short, but there's more to it than that!
It took me two days to read it, congratulations on the completion. Fortunately, I have only recently become interested in CP-free articles in the entertainment industry, otherwise I would have to wait for updates, hahahaha.
Finished spreading flowers, I really like Ruan Zai
Thank you for meeting me, and I wish Ruan Ruan will always shine brightly in his own world and be surrounded by love!
