The year Jian Wen graduated, his family cast him out. He struck out on his own as a talent manager, and after ten years of hard work, finally turned his client into an award-winning actor. But then that client stabbed him in the back, ruining his reputation and leaving him dead in a car crash.
The actor's reason for betraying him was simply this: only the Jian family could give him what he wanted.
All ten years of Jian Wen's effort amounted to nothing.
When Jian Wen opened his eyes again, he had returned to the night he severed ties with the Jian family.
He stood across from Jian Entertainment in the bitter wind, wearing only a light jacket. All he had in his pockets was his ID and a phone.
His phone rang. It was the actor he'd just signed at this point in time. Ten years later, this was the man who would tell him, "You're nothing."
He hung up and blocked him. In his past life, he'd spent ten years being a fool because he trusted the wrong people. Whoever wanted to be a fool this time could go ahead, but it wouldn't be him.
Just then, another fool, dressed even more lightly than he was, came staggering over, shivering with cold. "I-I want to join the entertainment industry. Could you be my manager?"
The man had thick brows, big eyes, and deep dimples. He looked just like Lu Beicheng, the actor who would become famous across the country in a few years, and Jian Wen's rival in his past life.
Lu Beicheng hugged him, looking pitiful. "Big brother, please take me on. Otherwise, I'll have to go home and inherit the family fortune. QAQ"
Jian Wen: "...What?"
How had he never realized in his past life that this award-winning actor was an idiot?
* Both leads are reborn. Jian Wen is the bottom, and Lu Beicheng is the top.

[A seductive, beautiful actor on the receiving end x a wolfish top-tier star on the pursuing end. A sweet younger-man romance where they flirt with each other.]
Yan Yunke had a month-long fling with a puppy-like young man. Before leaving, he gave him his Best Actor trophy as a parting gift.
Five years later, the puppy-like young man, Chu Shi, had become a cool and aloof top-tier star. Every time he spoke, fans screamed.
A reporter asked Chu Shi, "Have you ever dated anyone, Teacher Chu?"
Chu Shi's expression was cool. "Never dated. No stories to tell."
Later, Yan Yunke watched the interview, smiled, and touched the mole on Chu Shi's nose through the screen.
Daring to say you'd never dated and had no stories? Then let's date again.
-
When it was announced that top-tier star Chu Shi and award-winning actor Yan Yunke would appear on a cohabitation reality show, fans went wild and netizens gossiped: Were they really going to pair Chu Shi, who was practically allergic to romance, with someone for publicity?
There was no way that would work!
But, to everyone's surprise, Chu Shi acted completely out of character on the show. He wiped the cream from Yan Yunke's mouth after he ate an ice cream cone, dabbed away the droplets of water that gathered at Yan Yunke's collarbone after a shower, and covered Yan Yunke's slender waist when it showed as he held a cat...
Netizens: ...I'll bet fifty cents they're having an affair.
Fans: Chu Shi said he'd never dated anyone and had no stories!
What the fans didn't know was that, on the final night of filming, Chu Shi stood in Yan Yunke's doorway and pressed the cold, golden trophy against his cheek.
The young man looked down at Yan Yunke, a storm brewing in his eyes.
Yan Yunke panicked. "Chu Shi, your persona."
Chu Shi leaned down and whispered in his ear, "The persona was designed to hook you. I sent the invitation to the show. Big brother, if you seduce someone, you have to take responsibility."
* A sweet 1v1 younger-man romance where they flirt with each other.
* Not based on real people.
Theme: Only when you reach the peak can you know what it means to be lonely at the top.
