Lu Zeqing transmigrates into a feel-good entertainment-industry novel as the foil to the fake young master, the protagonist shou: the real young master who gets no love and is destined to be cannon fodder.
After bullying the protagonist time and again, he is thrown out by his wealthy parents and ends up disgraced and ruined.
When Lu Zeqing arrives, the protagonist shou is the most popular guest on a gay dating show, surrounded by fans shipping him with everyone under the sun.
Meanwhile, Lu Zeqing gets daily messages from fans telling him: Get lost! Don’t you dare appear in the same frame as our brother!
Faced with a barrage of insults and warnings, Lu Zeqing, who is so broke he can’t afford rent, declares:
Men will only slow him down on his way to making money.
While the guests go on restaurant dates, Lu Zeqing checks out the food at the next table.
While the guests go on art gallery dates, Lu Zeqing works as a French interpreter at the gallery.
While the guests stroll through a garden in traditional Han clothing, Lu Zeqing’s sleeves fly as his solo dance leaves everyone spellbound.
Netizens: Aaaaaah! Who’s fallen for him? Me! (screaming)
The hugely popular actor Jiang Siyi never joins variety shows and refuses all attempts to pair him up with anyone for publicity, until one day
Jiang Siyi makes a surprise appearance on the dating show as its newest guest, walks up to Lu Zeqing, and asks:
“Want to fake a couple? The kind that pays five million a week.”
Later
Fashion magazines, advertising deals, film and television projects, and variety shows all come knocking. Lu Zeqing accepts every offer, planning to make a little more money and then run. But before long, he realizes that something about the novel seems off.
Not only has he avoided being cannon fodder, he has become a beloved young master of a wealthy family.
“Since you love acting so much, darling, Mom bought the rights to a few scripts. Pick one to make.”
“It’s such a hassle for Qingqing to travel back to the hotel every day. Dad bought a villa nearby, so you can stay there for now.”
“Your big brother’s going to show some support for your movie. I’ve rented out every cinema in City A so all the fans there can watch it.”
Later still
Jiang Siyi reposts a Weibo post from a hater who has been rooting for them to break up, captioned “Waiting for the breakup, day 599,” and writes:
“Thanks for sticking with us! On day 599, we got our marriage licenses. @Lu Zeqing”
Then the trending topics explode!
A fiercely one-sided love, an actor who only has eyes for his beloved gong × a shou focused on making money, who flirts without realizing it
Romance: The gong pursues the shou, then they chase and flirt with each other. Happy ending.
Reader’s Guide
1. The author is a simple-minded romantic who loves brainless, awkwardly sweet wish-fulfillment stories. Logic has been fed to the JJ servers; any plot that doesn’t make sense is explained away as “author’s setting.”
2. The gong and shou aren’t based on real people. This is an idealized, fictional entertainment industry, so please don’t mention real-life celebrities in the comments.
3. Both leads are each other’s first love. No common triggers.
4. The original novel is told from the shou’s perspective, so it may not reflect the truth.
5. The wealthy parents have always loved the shou. See point 4.

Coming soon: After We Broke Up, I Became Famous in the Entertainment Industry by Being a Slacker
Lu Wan transmigrates into a book as the real young master of a wealthy family who gets no love. After trusting a scumbag, he is trampled on by the man’s lover, who takes his place, and ends up despised by the entire internet. In the end, he drowns.
Lu Wan knows that a cannon-fodder character can do no right, so he decides to dump the scumbag and live life on his own terms.
When the other man shows up on camera and acts like they’re close, Lu Wan says:
“Stay back. I’m allergic to fake sweetness.”
When the scumbag makes a surprise appearance on the show and plays the devoted ex, Lu Wan says:
“A good ex should be as good as dead.”
After the show airs, Lu Wan gains plenty of fans with his bold remarks and stunning looks. Marketing accounts and haters mock him:
“A pretty waste of space who only knows how to ride on other people’s coattails.”
But it isn’t long before netizens realize
The online creator who went viral for his opera-style singing without ever showing his face is Lu Wan.
The supporting actor in the hit drama, who has both the looks and the acting chops, is Lu Wan.
The composer whom singers keep chasing for collaborations... is also Lu Wan.
The “useless” Lu Wan can sing, dance, write lyrics, and compose music. Acting is his profession, and opera-style singing is his specialty.
He even knows a thing or two about painting, shooting, and skiing.
His fans: Boohoo, our precious little treasure has finally been discovered!
Lu Wan soon becomes a fixture on the trending charts, a popular star pursued by variety shows, film and television productions, and brands alike.
But Lu Wan’s answer is: I’m on vacation. Do not disturb!

The fake young master, Lu Zhiyan, has a dream. In it, his willful younger brother, who ran away from home, is cruelly treated by a scumbag and meets a tragic end. Lu Zhiyan is so upset that he can’t sleep for days.
A week later, dirt about the scumbag and his lover floods the internet.
But Lu Zhiyan isn’t satisfied, so before long
The scumbag’s film company declares bankruptcy, and his lover is sent to jail for tax evasion.
Later, everyone in the industry knows that the story about the real and fake young masters being sworn enemies is false, but that Lu Zhiyan is a doting little brother is true.

The award-winning actor Gu Cen has worked with Lu Wan several times, earning them plenty of couple-shipping fans.
One quiet night, Gu Cen comes across fanfiction about himself and Lu Wan and likes it.
Netizens: Did he like that by accident???
A few minutes later, Gu Cen reposts the fanfiction.
Netizens: Did a shipper hack the real celebrity’s account? That’s insane.
A few minutes after that, Gu Cen posts again: “Sorry, I was on the wrong account.”
Then the trending topics go wild.
An actor who seems aloof but is actually pure-hearted gong × a real young master who seems lazy but is actually a drama queen shou
Theme: Keep striving to live well, no matter where you are
How can I put it... This article is a bit messy. Even if you read it with the mentality of reading a sweet article without thinking, there are still many places where the plot is not connected, and there are many holes that have not been filled in. The story of Qi Nan's kidnapping, etc., Is not explained clearly (no negative marks for all orders, please let ORZ go...)
It would be great if Qi Nan's follow-up could be written, but let's just spread the flowers.
? ? So who was the person who asked Xu Donghui to kidnap Qinandian? Is this going to end without an explanation?
Ah? ? ? Why don't you explain the abduction thing? Qi Nan never showed up either...

When Qingqing's family was in a complicated mood, Jiangjiang's family was already ready to pack him into the family.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
The content is pretty good, but I feel like there are some holes that haven't been filled in yet?
I finally finished watching it. The more I watched, the more tired I became and the longer I watched, the longer it took.
I just want to know if it's time travel or not! If no one replies to me, I won't read it, even if I reply once every year or two, thank you! I bought this chapter specifically to review it.
