The Whole Entertainment Industry Is Acting Around Me

Dong Yan is a gorgeous idiot with terrible acting skills, hated by the entire internet. One day, he transmigrates and gets bound to a System called "Proving Your Way in Showbiz."

"...System activated. Save up enough points to make your wish come true. Randomizing point exchange rates: audience favor, 100:1; audience dislike, 1:1..."

Gorgeous idiot Dong Yan says he doesn't understand: "Make it simple."

System: "...The more people who hate you, the more points you get."

Dong Yan's eyes flicker: "Being hated? I'm great at that!"

From then on, Dong Yan sets out on the road to relentlessly trashing himself.

Step one: Sit by the side of the road in nothing but oversized boxer shorts, and wait for tomorrow's headlines about how the whole internet hates him.

Media: "Beloved idol is so down-to-earth! Sits by the roadside watching old men play Chinese chess."

Fans: "Aww, our sweet boy really is one of a kind. He even looks so handsome and dashing in a pair of boxers."

Haters: "I used to think he was such a poser. Didn't expect him to be so relatable."

Step two: Refuse to cooperate with the production crew while filming a variety show, and wait for tomorrow's headlines about him throwing his weight around.

Media: "Shocking revelations about [XX] show! Popular idol stages a walkout to protest the unspoken rules, willing to be blacklisted rather than compromise."

Fans: "Waaah, Yan Yan is so righteous! We'll protect the best Yan Yan in the whole world!"

Haters: "I'm kind of touched. There are so few honest people like this in showbiz now. I used to accuse him of climbing the ladder by playing along with the unspoken rules. I repent!"

Dong Yan: "..."

Chi Ao has recently taken an interest in a young star.

He'd thought the man was just a popular celebrity with a pretty face, but unlike all those cookie-cutter, ostentatiously sexy types in the industry, he wasn't the least bit affected.

At last, Chi Ao used his position to make him an offer.

He'd expected to have to do some persuading, but this righteous, unpredictable hotshot was even more eager than he was!

"Boss, if you pay to have the internet drag me, I'll call you Daddy!" Dong Yan pleads, his eyes brimming with tears. In this cruel, cold world, someone has finally agreed to help him.

Chi Ao: "..."

Later, Dong Yan, the only man in showbiz with a backbone, who would ruin his own future rather than accept the industry's unspoken rules, pulls a pillow over his head and stubbornly refuses to get up.

Chi Ao bites his ear. "Why aren't you calling me Daddy anymore?"
