The most successful thing Zhen Yu has ever done is being born into the right family.
Besides being filthy rich, he has three defining traits:
Handsome, handsome, and damn handsome.
People jealous of him stretch all the way to Paris.
But instead of running his perfectly good business,
he insisted on joining the same group as Li Fanxing, who was breaking into showbiz, just to get close to him.
He couldn't sing or dance to save his life, yet bought his way into a debut.
After the group formed, Zhen Yu threw money around like crazy, securing all sorts of opportunities for his unrequited love, even getting him a spot in movie star Yan Lingchen's drama.
But a torrent of scandals dragged Zhen Yu's career and family business straight to hell. Only afterward did he realize that the final straw had been added by Li Fanxing.
Li Fanxing: You can't even compare to one of Yan Lingchen's fingers. If I weren't chasing him, I'd never have let you top me.
After suffering a public humiliation so devastating he wanted to disappear, Zhen Yu received an offer from an entertainment company. They even gave him a dual-male-lead IP drama, with billing higher than Li Fanxing's.
Zhen Yu: I'll do it even if you don't pay me. Scumbag, get lost!
It wasn't until the day he arrived on set that Zhen Yu found out his on-screen partner was none other than his unrequited love's unrequited love, Yan Lingchen. And Yan was also the producer and company owner.
Zhen Yu performed a dramatic walkout on the spot.
Yan Lingchen: You're turning down a chance to get revenge served right to your doorstep?
Zhen Yu: You're better than me at everything. How could I possibly deserve to act alongside a great movie star like you?
Yan Lingchen: If you already knew everything, how could I use teaching you as an excuse to pursue you?
Zhen Yu: ???
The scumbag gets his comeuppance, but the broken relationship won't be mended. Face-slapping and pure wish fulfillment. That's all that matters.
