After gaining self-awareness and refusing to be a cannon-fodder character, Ning Fei was replaced by someone who transmigrated into a book and had his identity stolen for five whole years.

And so the favored child of heaven returned, and the scheming CEO was back in action. No one would get in the way of his career path.

Ning Fei discovered that this man was none other than Li Tu, the ruthless, deranged villainous boss who specialized in tormenting scumbag gongs. Had he set his sights on Ning Fei?

The two teamed up, breezing through every challenge as their careers soared. But the way the big boss looked at Ning Fei grew more and more suspicious. Li Tu: I'm done pretending. I'll come clean. I've had my eye on you for a long time. Ning Fei: ? Li Tu: I know this world is a book. You're cannon fodder, and I'm the villain. Ning Fei: So? Li Tu: Besides building our careers, we can pursue a romance too. Ning Fei: A cannon-fodder character and a villain can have a romance? Li Tu: They can. Ning Fei: Is it more interesting than building a career? Li Tu: Of course. I'm gorgeous, worth hundreds of billions, and in fantastic shape... Ning Fei: What a coincidence, so am I. Try saying something else. Li Tu: I'm the biggest villain in the entire book, the strongest one around. Who else but me deserves to be your love interest? Ning Fei: Hmm, you have a point? Since it's all a book anyway, why not go all out? Ning Fei: I'll take the villain's hand and get together with the wildest lunatic! Li Tu: Sure. You're allowed to make the first move. [New Novel: The Top Producer Is Worth Billions, Currently Updating] Yan Ning is widely recognized as a top producer in the film and television industry. He found fame at a young age, won every major award, and was as good-looking as a star. He should have been the industry's darling, but his aloof, high-minded attitude and disdain for commercial promotion made him notorious as a box-office poison, a byword for movies that earned praise but no ticket sales. In an era when capital bullied the industry and inferior works drove out better ones, independent production was already hard enough. Then came the winter slump in film and television, a shrinking market, and a stagnant industry... His funding ran dry, production on his new film halted, and the director jumped off a building. Then it turned out an antique had been hidden in the old house he'd sold to finance the film. The new owner found it and sold it for a hundred million... Burdened by years of frustration and overwork, Yan Ning, sick from head to toe, died suddenly in his rental apartment. He woke up in the year he had just graduated, back to being a lowly production assistant on a film set. Yan Ning: I'm coming for that hundred million. With the money secured, Yan Ning had a new goal. He would never make bad movies, and he would never bow to capital. But commercial films weren't necessarily bad, and publicity and marketing weren't always harmful. The industry's warped culture wasn't the audience's fault. His efforts alone wouldn't be enough, so he would cater to the market, reach the very top of both the industry and its commercial side, and then set new rules himself! A top industry mogul returns to the starting village with a hundred million in startup capital and sets out to teach the entertainment industry how to behave. A cheesy, low-rated idol drama doomed to fail? A disaster movie with a huge budget that's bound to lose money? A dull documentary nobody will pay for? Yan Ning: That's not true. Let me make them. Before it airs, the audience: Sure, keep talking. After it airs, the audience: Is this what they mean by the heavens chasing after you to feed you? Yan Ning: Not bad. Just business as usual. Yan Ning produces high-quality work at a prolific pace, exposing far too many of the industry's dirty secrets. The once-untouchable plagiarist screenwriters, padding-happy directors, and scene-stealing actors find their lives getting harder and harder. Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. Yan Ning has to get out of the entertainment industry! And Yan Ning? Worth hundreds of billions, with an empire of his own, a steady stream of masterpieces, and the audience on his side. Who do you think you are? When a top producer descends to set the entertainment industry straight, the ones who should get out are the people causing the problems! Yan Ning: The days of competing to see who can be worse are over. From now on, I expect everyone to raise their game to my standards. From the gong's perspective: As the kind of traffic idol Yan Ning hated most, Si Yu never imagined that Yan Ning would give him the time of day. Even after resolutely changing careers at the peak of his fame, spending ten years honing his acting day in and day out, and winning the Best Actor award, all he got from Yan Ning was disdain and repeated refusals to work with him. Si Yu worked hard his entire life, but never managed to melt the iceberg before he died. Who would have thought that after being reborn, he would actually get a film offer from Yan Ning? He opened the script and, well, it was a cheesy, clichéd idol drama... Si Yu: I'll take it. Every second of hesitation would be disrespectful to love! Theme: Stay true to yourself, hold on to your principles, don't deny where you came from, and don't fear where you're headed.
