The Saintly Temp Worker Becomes a Sensation in Showbiz

After his agency goes bankrupt, little-known idol Shi Yichen switches careers and becomes a game streamer, and his career takes off. Then his new agent, who is also his boss, drags him onto a livestream variety show that's expected to become a hit. The guests look at the tasks arranged by the production team with disdain. "Oh my god! We can't do this kind of work. We're artists. We can't do manual labor like farmworkers and factory workers." "All work involves physical labor. No work is more or less respectable than another." Shi Yichen can't take it anymore. His fierce side comes out. "And what would you do without farmworkers and factory workers? Drink the northwest wind?" The guests sneer at Shi Yichen as he speaks, as if mocking his naivety. Shi Yichen is already annoyed. Is he going to get off work today or not? He still has a game to stream! His fans can't keep the comments under control. [Who is this foul-mouthed idol with a permanent scowl?] [He seems so annoying!] [He's the only normal person on the show. I'd be annoyed too if I were him.] [I can confirm he was a little socially awkward to begin with. The entertainment industry's entitled elites pushed him into becoming a sharp-tongued cynic.] As one of the few normal people on this absurd variety show, the scowling, sharp-tongued Shi Yichen becomes a little famous. This draws the jealousy and sabotage of the show's absurd guests. Faced with a scapegoat dragged out to take the blame, Shi Yichen waves his hand, halo of saintly virtue shining around him: "We're all workers. We all have it hard. I forgive you." Saintly Shi Yichen is magnanimous toward the scapegoat and merciless toward the real culprit. To everyone's surprise, he becomes a huge sensation.

In the novel, his mother dies, and his scummy father takes over the family home and brings the next generation back into the family. Resenting Yan Yu because he resents his mother, his father throws him into a remote mountain village to fend for himself. By the time he's brought back into the family, Yan Yu has already developed an unlikeable personality. Everyone adores his sweet-talking, sunny half-brother, a little young master who is like a ray of sunshine. His fiance in name only breaks off their engagement and keeps his distance, afraid Yan Yu will cling to him and interfere with his pursuit of the little young master he has always longed for. His venomous, sharp-tongued older brother makes no secret of his disgust, and speaks cruelly to Yan Yu. But when he looks at the little young master, his eyes are full of affection, and his voice turns gentle. The original Yan Yu is used, hated, and despised by everyone. His final fate is unknown. Knowing the plot, Yan Yu decides to change his fate by living the easy life of a lazybones. To his surprise, his fiance regrets everything. "I couldn't see what was in my own heart. I wronged you. Please give me one more chance, okay?" The little young master corners him in the restroom and reaches for his hand, wearing an innocent smile. "You're amazing, big brother. I wonder who'll be lucky enough to be with you." His older brother does everything he can to make it up to Yan Yu, begging for forgiveness. "I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. Can you forgive me? We're the only family each other has in this world." Yan Yu looks deeply moved, as though he has forgiven them. "Give me the assets in your name and I'll forgive you. After all, you only lost your wealth, while I suffered the wounds of love and family!" They hurriedly hand over their assets. Yan Yu stares at the phone number on his bank card, stunned. "No way. Those dumb-as-a-biscuit villains really gave me their money." With a fortune in his hands, Yan Yu leaves for parts unknown, ready to claim his bright future. But then his ex-boyfriend from college, the Lu family heir, and his childhood-friend older brother all find him with ease while he's walking his dog and beachcombing. They back Yan Yu into a corner, step by step. His usually calm eyes brim with possessiveness. "Where are you trying to run off to now?" Yan Yu is pleased with himself for teasing him. "Guess." Lu Muqing finally drops his respectable facade. "Do I still have to guess?" Yan Yu clutches his waist, close to tears. No more guessing, no more! Theme: Don't judge people by appearances.
