[Blurb]
After returning from an infinite-flow world, Shen Yuchu has completely let go of everything. Having grown accustomed to endless pursuits and constant death in that world, he is moved to tears by the peace and quiet of ordinary life.
He no longer obsesses over how many years he has to act before he can stop playing bit parts, or worries that without connections he'll never get to play the lead. Shen Yuchu is so happy.
But just a few days into his newfound happiness, Shen Yuchu discovers that his powers from the infinite-flow world have come back with him.
After an unknown number of times seeing a ghost perched on the director's gleaming bald head, hearing the creatures in his house whisper insults at him, or sneezing out a fireball, Shen Yuchu has a massive headache.
Infinite-Flow System: Sweetie, this is the retirement benefit our System gives to retired personnel. We hope you enjoy your life~
Shen Yuchu: ...You can have this blessing if you want it.

Shen Yuchu's life is going wonderfully.
By day, he acts his heart out on set. By night, he transforms, leaping over rooftops and fighting with his powers, beating the stuffing out of shameless ghosts. By day, he's an unassuming, unknown actor. By night, he's a powerhouse in the combat division of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, who can summon wind and rain. With his secret identity in place, he doesn't care what anyone thinks.
Then his career takes off, too.
He plays a beloved concubine who loves the female lead of a drama but cannot have her, and the audience swoons over him with cries of "So precious!";
He plays a spirited young prince in a historical drama who dies tragically on the battlefield, and the audience sobs and begs him not to go;
He plays a tragic, sickly, obsessive killer in a suspense drama, and the audience is both terrified and clamoring for more.
His quiet life is gone for good. He only has to show his face on a variety show once to become a fixture on the trending charts.
Shen Yuchu: ...There is something so painfully exhilarating about having no choice but to become famous.

Lu Mingxu has had smooth sailing for over twenty years. He achieved his dream of becoming a director and gained both fame and fortune. His only regret is that he never got to confess properly to the person he had a crush on in college.
The reason is simple: ever since he started seeing ghosts as a child, he has never been able to live a normal life.
Not wanting to drag his crush into all this, Lu Mingxu kept pushing him toward other people, even gritting his teeth and introducing him to potential dates. As the two of them grew further and further apart, Lu Mingxu began to think he might never get over him.
Until one day, he happened to see Shen Yuchu beating a ghost over the head with a wrench.
Lu Mingxu: !
Lu Mingxu: Forget pushing him toward other people. I should make my move instead.
■ Reader's Guide ■
1. A lighthearted, silly, feel-good story. The story is entirely fictional. Please don't take it as truth.
2. Shen Yuchu is the uke x Lu Mingxu is the seme. Shen is gentle and low-key on the surface, but a powerhouse in a fight x Lu is cold and aloof to everyone else, but gentle and sweet with Shen. The story focuses mainly on their careers, with a 70/30 split between career and romance.
3. No real-life inspiration. Please don't draw parallels. This has nothing to do with the real-world entertainment industry. No unsolicited writing advice.
4. Note added 2022.3.28, revised 7.10

I probably understand why the copywriting of this article is so interesting, and why the collection of this article is so low in the end. This is a copywriting fraud. The copywriting was written in a light-hearted way, and the tone was the same as before, but suddenly it started to become suspenseful. I couldn't wait to read it and just turned to the ending. Well, there was a big twist, and the whole story was wrong. Really, if your copywriting and labels are well-known in advance that it is a rebirth or suspense article that is not so offensive, and the author is not strong enough in writing and plans to write suspense, then you need to make a clear outline and bury all the foreshadowings. Now for this article, readers who read the copy and thought it was a light-hearted novel were confused by the sudden suspense. Those who like suspense will not open this article. Even if they don't mind the copywriting scam, the suspense of this article is also very loose. The protagonist drags his feet and the end of the unit is inexplicable, as if he just pushed the plot. A sweet article is a sweet article, a cool article is an enjoyable article, and a suspenseful article is suspenseful, rather than adding suspense inexplicably to a lighthearted article. Copywriting fraud can only be temporary. Alas, copywriting is such a waste. I just want to find an easy white text to pass the time. Why is it so difficult?
The male protagonist's inner confession in this chapter really touched my heart qaq
Wow, your modification is a bit big. I didn't even find the place I saw before
I finally changed the attack settings. The previous settings really made me want to cut him down and replace him with another one.
I feel like I've been stabbed in the back. It's so uncomfortable. I'm speechless about the identity of this attacker. I know he may not be simple, but this chapter really silenced me.
Damn, I wanted to slap him twice in the middle of watching it, but I still felt heartbroken at the finale, which is the most annoying thing for people who suffer misfortune!!!?
That's right, that's it. Don't let him go so easily with this attack.
The emotional line makes me so tired. I was confused whether I still had feelings for Xiaolu in the beginning. The plot is still okay
I feel like I can't stand it anymore, so I shouldn't have bought the whole book and read it again, hey
Ah? No, maybe Lu Mingxu is the diamond A, right?
