A Laid-Back Teen's Part-Time Job Diary

"The Crown Prince Rescue Plan" is currently being serialized. Yun Ruosheng, a truly laid-back young man born in a remote mountain temple, is packed off down the mountain by the temple's abbot as soon as he comes of age. The old abbot even thoughtfully applies for a student loan for him, making it clear that he's not allowed back until it's paid off. Fresh out of college and needing to repay his loan, Yun Ruosheng accidentally ends up working for an entertainment company. Thus begins his laid-back career as a wage slave in show business. While others have been learning to dance since childhood, Yun Ruosheng has been learning martial arts. The boss slams a hand on the table and decides Yun Ruosheng should debut in a boy band. It happens to be the golden age of boy bands in the Chinese entertainment industry, but Yun Ruosheng's group is a complete flop. His agent finds Yun Ruosheng practicing singing and dancing. "Boy bands aren't doing well these days. Your bandmates have all jumped ship. Go act instead." Yun Ruosheng takes it in stride and becomes the nation's first love. Just as he finally starts getting some attention, his agent finds him in acting class. "You've offended an executive who says he'll blacklist you. No major productions will hire you." Yun Ruosheng remains unruffled. Low-budget web dramas are fine, as long as he gets to act. He also remarks that he should have hit that guy harder last time. And so, in the eyes of the public, the nation's first love, who shot to fame overnight, suddenly disappears without a trace. His haters shout that Yun Ruosheng should get out of the entertainment industry. Yun Ruosheng consults his fortune and decides it's time to return to the temple. His fans stare at the photos circulating online, supposedly showing Yun Ruosheng becoming a monk, and question everything they know. Fans: I thought the laid-back monkish thing was just an image, but it's actually real. Shengsheng, please come back! (reaching out dramatically) The male lead is somewhat laid-back, but he takes his work seriously. An ordinary working stiff's diary. Not a power fantasy. The entertainment industry is all about luck, and flopping so hard you hit the Earth's core... I mean, having ups and downs, is perfectly normal. Upcoming novel: "They Say My Character Is Someone Who Loves Without Being Loved" (no CP) Blurb: Heng Ye is the Heavenly Emperor of a vast world, ruler of all the living beings within it. One day, Heng Ye senses that the Heavenly Dao needs him to do a small favor. Eager to find a way to advance his cultivation, Heng Ye readily agrees. Then... The Heavenly Dao kicks him into another small world, where he becomes the Heavenly Emperor's... illegitimate son! Heng Ye: This Heavenly Emperor sure gets around. As an illegitimate child, he isn't acknowledged. Though he is a high god, he must conceal his powers and willingly fight for the Heavenly Realm because he and his half-brother fall in love with the same person. He gives her up, loves without being loved, goes alone to the battlefield, and ultimately has his soul and spirit destroyed. When Heng Ye first transmigrates, everyone knows that the Heavenly Realm's Immortal Lord Hengyang loves the Fairy Qingling without being loved in return. Qingling, tears in her eyes: A Ye, you're wonderful, but I love Xiyu. Heng Ye: Love him if you want. Why are you telling me? Xiyu: Brother, even if Qingling doesn't love you, don't let your emotions get the better of you. Heng Ye: You call working on my career letting my emotions get the better of me? The gods: Immortal Lord Hengyang has it so rough, loving someone who doesn't love him back... Heng Ye: ...Whatever. So while Xiyu and Qingling are caught up in a passionate, life-and-death romance, Heng Ye shoulders the burden of being Heavenly Emperor. Before he knows it, he has united the Six Realms, ended the fighting, and brought blessings to all living beings.
