I Became an Action Star After Leaving Showbiz

[The upcoming novel Two-Dimensional Big Shot Tears Up the Script [Book Transmigration] is below. Thank you (bows).]

Qiu Lai, heir to a martial arts family, wakes up one day to find himself a hundred years in the future, in a new era in China. He has also become a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry.

As an actor, he's as wooden as a puppet. As an idol, he has no social skills. In the modeling world, he can't let loose. After years of bouncing between these careers, he's squandered the little goodwill his fans had left, and it looks like his career is over.

Qiu Lai: Perfect. This isn't where my ambitions lie anyway. I might as well go back to practicing martial arts.

He intends to quit the industry cleanly and disappear, but not long afterward

A national treasure of a dancer: "We have to thank Qiu Lai for this original dance. He's a beautiful dancer himself. I look forward to working with him again!"

A renowned overseas director flies in overnight to offer him a role: "In my next film, Qiu Lai does Chinese kung fu. If he's not in it, I'm not making the movie!"

A martial arts grandmaster who has been out of the public eye for years bursts into tears: "I never thought I'd see such a remarkable young person in my lifetime. He carries on the legacy of my father, no, of my grandfather's generation!"

The stunned netizens: "Uh...??"

#Thanks for the recommendation, I'm officially a fan now#

The whole entertainment industry is in an uproar!

Qiu Lai: Thanks for the offer, but I've retired from the industry.

CP: Gentle, refined uke x carefree, fun-loving seme

An unconventional entertainment-industry story, a simple wish-fulfillment romp. I'll do my best to make it carefree, satisfying, and sweet.

Fun fact: People who really practice martial arts don't have huge muscles.

Not a celebrity fan. Fictional characters aren't based on real people.

Similar upcoming novel: Two-Dimensional Big Shot Tears Up the Script [Book Transmigration]

The real young master is a textbook cannon-fodder character. After returning to the Gu family, he is not only despised by his biological parents but also angers the beloved fake young master. Everyone is free to trample on him just to curry favor with the fake young master, and in the end, he dies in a rainy alley.

The real top big shot from his past life, Gu Yongsheng, narrows his eyes. A family of people who aren't fit to carry his shoes should be made to see who they really are.

Not long afterward, the ACG world is rocked.

A game with innovative gameplay tops Steam's sales charts, breaking a ten-year record. Players at home and abroad curse as they grind away, while the developer's identity remains unknown, hidden behind the initials YS.

At the same time, a light novel rises above a sea of web fiction aimed at all kinds of readers, earning tens of millions in licensing deals. Its author is aloof and mysterious.

And in the declining world of Chinese animation, a rising star appears out of nowhere. One independently produced Chinese animation trounces all the other Japanese anime that quarter and tops the trending charts on a certain little blue bird app...

Netizens weep with joy, thanking heaven for blessing every corner of the ACG world this year.

Then one day, when YS attends a gaming awards ceremony, viewers in the livestream suddenly spot something.

Why does this person's signature look so much like that of the Chinese animation producer interviewed the other day?!

After the real young master disappears, disgracing the family, the Gu family's comics platform goes downhill. This gala is its last chance.

Who could have expected Gu Yongsheng to show up at the venue?

The three members of the Gu family stride over, ready to point at him and hurl abuse.

Suddenly, a staff member behind them says, "Please move aside. Don't block our honored guest from coming up to speak."

The three members of the Gu family: "Guest? Who??"

Just then, Fu Peirong, CEO of the country's biggest entertainment company, walks in through the door.

What a dazzling, golden bachelor. The fake young master steps forward gracefully, ready to unleash his charm and add him to his harem.

But Fu Peirong walks right past him without sparing him a glance, heading straight for his country-bumpkin brother.

The fake young master: "? What's happening to this world??"

Fu Peirong hands Gu Yongsheng a glass of champagne, leans close with an intimate air, and whispers,

"More and more people are watching you. I regret it so much."

"What do you regret?"

"That I didn't lock you up that day."

#NowThat'sWhatYouCallPossessiveness (leans back tactically)#

*A wish-fulfillment story focused mainly on career growth, with a leveling-up progression! Back to the top!

*The protagonist is the strongest. The seme is a sunflower that always turns toward the sun.

Upcoming novel 2: The Emperor and the Immortal Fall in Love Online

The young emperor is surrounded by treacherous ministers. He is lonely at the top and dares not trust anyone, and life is growing duller by the day. Then a vassal state presents him with a treasure said to allow communication with immortals.

The immortal is incredible, gentle, and protective, and poses absolutely no threat.

After all, the worlds of immortals and mortals are separate. It's not as if he can come down to steal the throne.

The young emperor is very pleased. He has a powerful backer, life is wonderful, and the ministers are all behaving themselves. He also becomes absorbed in confiding his innermost thoughts to the immortal.

He confides by day and by night. As he keeps talking, he ends up clutching the treasure, lying on his bed, cheeks flushed with excitement.

He can't help entertaining a new thought, a secret desire.

Will the immortal come down to see him one day?

Shen Jue has been spending all day chatting on his phone lately. The other person is a boy who claims to be the emperor, and his profile picture shows him dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. His friend teases him that he's about to start an online relationship, and even jokes that he's playing cosplay.

All the signs are there. He's bound to get scammed sooner or later.

His phone buzzes again that day. Remembering his friend's words, he smiles and starts typing.

Immortal Shen: Your Majesty, have you ever heard of online dating?

[An irresponsible little skit]

Day one of online dating. The sweet little emperor: Immortals have three great qualities: they dote on me, they love me, and I like them so much!

Day thirty-four of online dating.

The well-behaved little emperor: When will you come down to see me, Immortal?

Shen, the "Immortal": Sweetheart, meeting in person is risky. You might find each other disappointing in real life.

Day fifty of online dating.

The furious little emperor: If you don't come soon, I'm going to hold a selection and choose an empress.

Shen, the "Immortal": W-wait, (reaches out like Er Kang)
