Wen Shuli, an obscure celebrity from a minor agency, was blacklisted. After ending his contract with the company, he was about to slink back to his hometown and live out his days when he woke up one morning inside a fanfic written by his haters.
In the novel, Wen Shuli is a walking disaster, a pitiful little thing.
He joins an agency as a trainee, hoping to debut as an idol, only to have a greasy, fat executive try to take advantage of him. When that fails, the executive uses underhanded tricks to kick him out of the debut group.
Just as he's homeless and adrift, the Feng family takes him in. It turns out he's their illegitimate son, who grew up outside the family, with two older brothers, Feng Congyuan and Feng Congrui. With the Feng family in decline, they quickly arrange a marriage for him with Fu Yan, head of the Fu family.
Fu Yan is low-profile and never appears in public.
Even the Feng family has never seen him, but the Fu family's standing is enough to sway all of Yuncheng, and even the entire empire.
Rumor has it that Fu Yan is ugly, disabled, and frequently abroad on business, while the company is run by a capable deputy general manager.
Few people in the country have seen Fu Yan's real face, and every one of them refuses to discuss his appearance.
As a result, everyone in the industry is convinced that Fu Yan must be hideously ugly, confined to a wheelchair, fat, and greasy.
The novel's male lead is the original owner's second brother, Feng Congrui. With every golden finger imaginable, he's boosted to fame by his family and becomes a top-tier star who leaves everyone else in the dust. He then marries up into a higher social class by marrying his childhood sweetheart, Nangong Mo.
Nangong Mo caters to Feng Congrui's every whim and pampers him endlessly, making everyone else green with envy.
But the spoiled little diva Wen Shuli won't resign himself to that fate. He enjoys the empty-nest life in a wealthy household, tames his rebellious stepson, and joins the circle of rich wives. Only then does he discover that his own Lao Fu...
is a modern-day male bodhisattva, and only a spoiled diva can get a rise out of him.
Top-tier star Feng Congrui and his fiance Nangong Mo appear on the dating show Pure-Hearted Lovers, but the one who sets the internet ablaze is the show's married- couple commentator, Wen Shuli.
Every episode sends a topic about Wen Shuli trending.
[Mr. Fu calling Susu "Susu" gives me chills all over~ He's so dreamy~]
[Another day of digging for sweet moments in the background. Does the production team have no idea who's actually the most popular?!]

[We're on our knees, begging for Susu and Lao Fu to be guests on season two of Pure-Hearted Lovers!]
[Friends, raising money for cloud storage is more realistic! Mr. Fu's not exactly short on cash!]
As a top vocalist, Wen Shuli also has an undying rap soul. What nobody knows, though, is that his girl-group choreography is the real showstopper.
Just after Wen Shuli finishes a girl-group dance, his body lightly slick with sweat, he heads offstage, panting, to change.
A powerful force pins him into a corner. From the scent of the person before him, the spoiled diva knows who it is.
"Darling, did I dance well?" He curls his red lips into a smile. Fu Yan looks at the person in his arms, head tilted, the corners of his eyes turned up, the little red mole at the corner of his eye radiating charm.
I am nothing, but your existence alone is reason enough for everything.
