After transmigrating into a wish-fulfillment novel about the wealthy and the entertainment industry, Tu Kaisui discovers he's an insignificant extra who shows up to provoke the male lead and gets beaten to a pulp the very next second.
Arriving to find the whole internet mocking him and an astronomical breach-of-contract fee hanging over his head, Tu Kaisui sighs and picks up his old trade.
The next day's trending headline: The entertainment industry's funniest joke of the year. D-list flop Tu Kaisui claims to be a Taoist priest.
His haters are furious: Get out of the entertainment industry already. Stop trying to make yourself look important.
Curious netizens take a look at his shop and become haters too: Who puts rhinestones on a peachwood sword and glitter on talismans?
According to people who paid the stupid tax, the talismans are even sprayed with Darjeeling tea perfume.
You don't have to go this far to build a persona!
Looking at his bumpy career, Tu Kaisui goes live to respond: I'm a genuine Taoist priest, licensed and everything. See those little black round sunglasses on my head? They're a must-have for anyone in the occult business.
What, you say I'm just a pretty face? Does this mean I can finally make a living off my looks? Thanks, bro.
Netizens: ...
It isn't until later that they discover the official Taoist website and veteran entertainment-industry figures have shared Tu Kaisui's posts, and even popular actresses and award-winning actors are supporting his business.
Even the people who paid the stupid tax for his talismans admit that their luck and love lives really have improved.
That night, the shop sells out completely.

The first time Lu Huaixu meets Tu Kaisui, the other man provokes him and even tries to climb into his bed that very night.
The second time they meet, Tu Kaisui sighs at him. Your fate should have been excellent, but now it looks like you won't live much longer. It's a waste to earn so much and never spend it. You can't take it with you, either, and they don't use this kind of paper money down there.
Tu Kaisui: How about I do a good deed and spend it for you?
Lu Huaixu: ...
Later, Tu Kaisui wakes up in bed one morning, bewildered. That can't be right. How are you still alive? There's no way I got the reading wrong!
Lu Huaixu holds him close. Do a good deed and spend my money. Make an effort to let me die on top of you.
