Song Heqing is a national idol. That's right, not a national heartthrob or a national goddess, but a national idol. Ever since his debut, every film he's appeared in has become a hit. He's a bona fide top-tier star and award-winning actor, the one every director wants to cast so badly they'd shove scripts at him and beg on their knees. He's also every investor's favorite darling.
With honors piled high, he's the uncrowned king of the entertainment industry.
But even after achieving all that, Song Heqing still wasn't satisfied. He wanted the international Osti Gold Award. Yet in the eighteen years since his debut, he'd been nominated eighteen times and come away empty-handed every single year!
Now, in the nineteenth year, Song Heqing boarded a plane to the awards ceremony, filled with anticipation.
Then the plane exploded mid-flight. He never got to hear the results. Instead, he went straight to heaven.
When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn as an obscure little star, an infamous nobody mocked by the entire internet.

On the first day after his rebirth, Song Heqing was drugged, took a wrong turn, and barged into the room of a famous entrepreneur.
The man looked up and sneered. "Still not giving up?"
Song Heqing took a closer look. Wasn't this his sworn enemy? He backed away a few steps and peeked at the room number, realizing he'd gone into the wrong room. He managed a polite expression and explained, "I got the wrong room."
The man's eyes were cold. "Why pretend?"
Song Heqing didn't feel like putting up with it anymore. "..."
The man continued, "You really are shameless. I told you ages ago that I was only using you as a substitute, and you still won't stop clinging to me."
Song Heqing: "???" This jerk knew the original owner?
Then Song Heqing heard his foul-mouthed sworn enemy speak again. "Want me to say it one more time? You," he looked Song Heqing up and down, "will never measure up to Song Heqing."
Song Heqing: "..."
Song Heqing: "???"
Song Heqing: "!!!"

One-sentence summary: I thought you were my sworn enemy, but you thought I was your one true love?!
