Lin Ye had no connections or family backing, yet his extraordinary acting skills made him the youngest Best Actor to win all three major awards in Huaxia’s history.
But on the very night he accepted his awards, Lin Ye suddenly transmigrated into a book.
He found himself inside a sugary-sweet showbiz romance novel he had once read, as a brainless, lovesick cannon-fodder character who shared his name.
This cannon-fodder character came from a powerful family whose assets, taken together, could buy the entire planet.
But after falling in love at first sight with the novel’s protagonist, a bottom, he hid his identity and plunged into show business just to get close to him.
After entering the industry for love, the little cannon fodder not only failed to win his crush’s favor,
but also earned himself the title of “the greasiest, most delusional nobody in showbiz history” for confessing his feelings.
“Disgusting,” “greasy,” “delusional,” “a toad hoping to eat swan meat.”
After transmigrating, Lin Ye read the passionate comments from the protagonist’s fans online, counted the fifteen-digit balance in his bank account, and returned to Weibo.
Without a care, he typed out a new post:
“I can’t take criticism. If anyone criticizes me, I’ll blacklist their favorite celebrity!”
One post instantly drew all the hate. Fans from every corner of the industry came out in force,
mocking Lin Ye as the most delusional person in showbiz history, someone who would say absolutely anything.
Just as the battle raged on, a report came in:
The biggest talent agency in the industry had a new owner!
The biggest film and television company in the industry had a new owner!
The largest cinema chain in the country had a new owner!
The official accounts of all the major companies tagged their new boss, who turned out to be Lin Ye, the very person all the fans were lambasting.
The fans: “Dad, we were wrong! Please don’t hold it against your sons. Is this a proper kneeling position? We beg you to go easy on us and spare our favorite celebrities!”
Only one famous but unnamed big shot seemed out of place: “@Lin Ye, you’ve acquired all these businesses. When are you going to buy me back?”
Lin Ye: “I can’t afford you. I’m out!”
The big shot: “@Lin Ye, I’ll pay you to take me!”

[The tone and central gimmick have been decided. Some details may change along with the outline before the story begins.]
[The setting is entirely fictional. Not only this book, but the book its protagonist transmigrates into is fictional too, so don’t say that a fifteen-digit bank balance is bigger than the national treasury or anything like that. The answer is simply that it’s all fictional.]
