Please add it to your favorites~ ◆ ◆ Also looking for favorites for my upcoming novels, When a Master of Tea Ceremony Crosses Paths with a Traditional Tycoon and No Stopping for Love [Infinite]~ ◆ Blurb A scheming old fox top who’s anything but proper but loves pretending to be × a frail but resilient, truly ambitious bottom Xu Yu transmigrates into a male-lead power fantasy set in the entertainment industry. In the book, every actor has to pass certification exams and be licensed to work. They also have to complete a three-month livestreamed professional ranking assessment every year. Xu Yu, who’s been blacklisted for half his life, lights up. “Yes!” But he’s just a sickly actor who’s been mocked into fame, with nothing but his looks and a body full of injuries. His only claim to fame since debuting is an incident from three years ago. When the male lead, Qi Yanjing, had just become a chief examiner, Xu Yu pointed right at him and demanded to be taken on as his disciple. Qi Yanjing then held a press conference to declare that he would never take a disciple in his life. The whole internet calls Xu Yu a wild horse. Xu Yu wants to cry. “But I’m actually so frail now...” Before the assessment Other actors: Does he really think he can pass? The certificate’s value will drop even further if he does. The media: Mr. Qi and his little wild horse reunite onstage after three years! The male lead’s fans: Stay away from my man!! Qi Yanjing: I treat every actor the same. Xu Yu: When’s it my turn? My leg hurts. I’m going to sit for a while. After the assessment, Xu Yu shares the stage with a veteran actor and puts on a brief, understated crying scene. Other actors: Holy crap, he outperformed a veteran! The media: The new star of the film world! The male lead’s fans: Why are you looking at him, Qi-ge? Qi Yanjing: He looks beautiful when he cries. Xu Yu: Stop staring and come help me. I’m about to faint! Later... For a highly anticipated collaborative performance, Xu Yu and Qi Yanjing are paired up and draw an action scene. Amid a hail of bullets, the two wrestle in the mud. But Qi Yanjing’s hand slips, and he accidentally tears Xu Yu’s clothes. Xu Yu looks up in alarm, breathing unevenly. In a panic, Qi Yanjing bends over him to shield him from the cameras. The livestream comments freeze like a slideshow. Ever since their “clothes-tearing CP” went viral, Mr. Qi has taken up a new hobby: tearing Mr. Xu’s pajamas. Mr. Xu stays out all night, and Mr. Qi tears his pajamas. Mr. Xu goes out to dinner with a famous director, and Mr. Qi tears his pajamas. Mr. Xu smiles at another man, and Mr. Qi tears his pajamas. Afterward, Mr. Xu drags him in front of the livestream camera and makes him sew the pajamas back together on the spot.

In this setting, actors need qualifications and licenses to work, and must also take professional ranking assessments. The assessments are livestreamed from start to finish, so think of it as a livestreamed acting competition. The top is ten years older than the bottom. 2. The bottom has severe allergies, has suffered serious injuries, and gets sick often. 3. The word “wild” had to be removed from the title, so it has been changed below. ★ Recommending my friend’s novel: The Lonely Emperor Is Sick and Can’t Get Up by Cheng Jingtang What do you do when you transmigrate into a cannon-fodder crown prince with nothing going for him but good looks and a tendency to cough up blood?

He checks himself over: hard of hearing, sickly, and homeless. Great. Ji Ruan leans back against the hospital bed. He doesn’t feel well, so he’ll lie down for a while. At first, the top is cold and indifferent. “When our agreement expires in three years, I hope you’ll leave quietly.” Ji Ruan switches on his cochlear implant, his eyes tired. “Sorry, I didn’t catch that. Could you say it again?” The top: “...Maybe you should just rest.” Later, the top’s old flame lays out a pile of documents and snaps, “You think he married you because he loves you? He only married you because you look like me. I’m the only one he loves!” Ji Ruan feels around and mutters to himself, “Where’s my cochlear implant...?” He accidentally falls out of bed, and the heart monitor alarm rings through the hospital. The next second, the top rushes into the room with doctors and bodyguards, scoops him up, and yells, “Didn’t I tell you not to get out of bed?!” Ji Ruan stares blankly at his lips with wide eyes. Gu Xiuyi’s breathing catches, and his anger vanishes completely. He bends down to kiss Ji Ruan’s ear, still shaken. “It’s all right. Don’t be afraid. I’ll make sure you get better.” Ji Ruan: What are they talking about? Is the abuse over? When can I go to sleep? Before they marry, Gu Xiuyi thinks he’s taken on a huge nuisance. Only after they’re married does he realize what it means to have the most precious darling in the world. . Theme: Strive to make your life your own
