[Entertainment Industry] Reborn: Selling Myself to Pay Off My Sickly Childhood Friend's Debts

Yu Chengzhou had always had everything go his way, and he was born under an incredibly lucky sign.

He made his big-screen debut and became a sensation, dominating the spotlight for nearly ten years, until he plunged off a mountain road and disappeared without a trace.

When he woke up, the movie star had become a fugitive, holed up in a shabby apartment block with a million in gambling debts.

Yu Chengzhou: "Wow, this is exciting."

The movie star, a gangster in a human skin in his previous life, leisurely stubbed out his cigarette and smiled with keen interest.

Now that he'd shed his respectable facade, Yu Chengzhou would live this life however he pleased.

Much later, an entertainment newspaper interviewed the movie star who had come from the slums:

"Compared to that late movie star, what do you consider your shortcomings?"

Yu Chengzhou, dubbed an "award collector," tilted his head lazily and thought for a moment. "I'm not as short-lived as he was."

Reporter: "..."

Shen Jingzhi was born disabled, deaf in his right ear. His fate couldn't support great wealth and status, and he was destined to live no longer than twenty-eight.

He grew up with Yu Chengzhou, his childhood friend, and although his life was bumpy, he got through it safely.

No one knew that Yu Chengzhou had shielded him from disaster twice.

At eighteen, Yu Chengzhou took a knife for him, leaving a pale scar at the end of his eyebrow.

At twenty-eight, Yu Chengzhou vanished without a trace. The jade pendant Shen Jingzhi had worn for ten years split in two against his chest. From then on, he couldn't live happily or die peacefully.

Yu Chengzhou had lived two lives, and the only person he couldn't stop worrying about was his sickly childhood friend.

He sneaked back and found the frail guy drunk and crying alone in secret.

Shen Jingzhi's phoenix eyes were half-drunk, and he even forgot to cry. "A Zhou."

Yu Chengzhou: "...That's not me. I'm way more handsome than him. Don't slander me."

Shen Jingzhi's eyes were red at the corners as he gently tugged Yu Chengzhou's sleeve. "Then I'll give you money. Will you keep me company?"

Yu Chengzhou: "???"
