Ye Xing, a 108th-tier actor, had been washed up for years. At last, he got a role that might make him famous.
But before the celebratory champagne was even opened, the news came: his rival had snatched the role.
This was the N+1th time Ye Xing had had a role stolen from him.
"Does his rival have powerful connections? Is it Ji Feng, the president of Fengxin Group?"
The staff didn't dare say a word. No one in the entertainment industry dared challenge Ji Feng, a powerful business tycoon. But strangely enough, every time Ye Xing lost a role, Ji Feng was somehow involved.
The staff wondered: Had their artist fallen out with his powerful backer?
Ye Xing gritted his teeth and smiled. "Of course we have."
Ji Feng wasn't just a business tycoon. He was the undisputed king of all demons. And when Ye Xing was a clueless little demon, she'd accidentally wiped her snot on his robe.
He'd remembered that stupid little incident all these years!
Ye Xing seethed and thought, The day I make it big, I'll trample Ji Feng into the ground.

Ye Xing never expected her chance to come so soon. For some reason, the Demon King's weak spot had ended up inside her, and it had little awareness. It probably wouldn't wake up for a hundred years.
Ji Feng, finance tycoon and king of all demons, had his fate by the scruff of the neck in her hands.
From then on, washed-up actress Ye Xing could barely keep up with all the top-tier roles she was offered. And entertainment reporters even caught the diamond-studded tycoon Ji Feng so obsessed with her that he never left her side, even showing up at the set to carry her bags!
Ye Xing: Everyone sit down. This is business as usual.
With Ji Feng under her thumb, Ye Xing did whatever she pleased every day, ordering the king of all demons around like her lackey.
Until one day...
The weak spot regained consciousness and happily announced, "Thanks for looking after me. I'm leaving you to sail the seas today!"
Ye Xing: !!! If I get on my knees and beg for mercy right now, can I live a few more days?

[Warnings]: 1. The heroine is a drama queen, but her antics are minor and more like playful banter between a couple.
2. The hero isn't that petty. He won't hold a grudge over a bit of snot; it's all a misunderstanding.
[Author's worldbuilding]: A demon's weak spot is like a snake's vital point. Powerful demons' weak spots have minds of their own and can wander around, like dragon veins. There are also countless other bits of original worldbuilding.
