Blurb:

A trainee well past the usual age joined Huayi Entertainment's training camp, causing a sensation throughout the entertainment industry.

Gossip fan A: I'm curious who his sugar daddy is.

Gossip fan B: I'm guessing the guy is at least as handsome as those Republican-era heartthrobs.

The trainee everyone's talking about, Wen Cheng, was in the cafeteria at that moment.

He smiled warmly: "Sis, I brought my own food basin."

Everyone looked like they'd seen a ghost as Wen Cheng used a basin bigger than his face to get food.

Trainee A: Which mountain ravine did he crawl out of? He looks like he's never eaten before.

Trainee B: I heard he's overage and got in through a special exception. I wonder who his sugar daddy is.

Trainee C: I'm actually jealous. Look at those muscle lines, and that face is practically perfect!

Wen Cheng shoveled food into his mouth as he said, "My family's gold mine was turned over to the state ages ago. Don't make things up!"

The onlookers: Is that even what we're talking about?

Wen Cheng had headed south to make his way in the entertainment industry, carrying the fervent hopes of everyone back home.

Father Gu pointed to the vast tracts of land and mountains. "Xiao Cheng, if you don't make it, just come home and farm. Look at all this land waiting for someone to work it!"

The villagers: "Xiao Cheng, don't let the big city dazzle you. Keep your eyes open and don't let anyone cheat you!"

Wen Cheng: "I think I've been cheated. This house is way too small, the yard isn't even big enough for me to grow vegetables, and the pond can't even hold fish."

Chu Huaibing: "...I really can't argue with the first part, but just quietly, you can't raise fish in a swimming pool."

Wen Cheng: "The worst thing is having to control my appetite! Going hungry! How cruel!"

Chu Huaibing poked Wen Cheng's puffed-up cheek and laughed. "Look at that poor, wounded face. I'll make sure you eat your fill tonight, all right?"

Reader's Guide:

1. A clever, beautiful bottom who eats a lot, has a great figure, and looks easy to bully x a scheming, domineering top who thinks he's broke (the sugar daddy).

2. The author isn't a celebrity fan. Anything about the entertainment industry is made up and has no real-life models.

3. Men can marry in this setting.

4. This story includes some Weibo-style posts. If that's not your thing, read with caution.

4. This story has a mountain of original worldbuilding, all in service of the plot. If it's not for you, please leave peacefully.
