An Actor Couple's Second Careers in the Entertainment Industry [Quick Transmigration]

[My new novel, Bad Things [Crime Solving], is currently being serialized. Please add it to your library! Thank you so much for your support!]

Zhong Yi and Yan Guo's midlife crisis:

Though they once won Best Actress and Best Actor, as they got older, acting offers dwindled and the roles they could play grew more limited.

Though they had been married for years, they had been giving each other the cold shoulder for ages. They were only keeping up appearances, occasionally pretending to be affectionate when they made public appearances together.

They thought they would eventually retire from the entertainment industry and get divorced, but one day they opened their eyes in their sleep and found themselves both transmigrated to another world!

Zhong Yi glared indignantly at the heavens. Being a married couple with the same names and faces was one thing, but why did only one of them come with memories? Oh, next time it's my turn? Fine!

.

World One: [Complete]

They opened their eyes as extras, with two sets of elderly parents back in their hometown in the mountains.

For the sake of their "career prospects," they gave it their all, but unfortunately:

They showed off their acting skills, and the director yelled, "You're overacting!"

They auditioned for a talent show, but got eliminated in the first round because they couldn't carry a tune.

They pitched ideas for a reality show, but couldn't even get through the company's door...

With no other options, they tried making short videos, just starting to take off at the time, and their self-written, self-starring videos became a huge hit!

The couple woke up thinking it had all been a dream, then began a strange journey in which, every time they fell asleep, they opened their eyes on a different film set.

World Two: [Complete]

They opened their eyes as a rookie actress and a waiter in a parallel Republic of China, and they had a kid.

More absurdly, they were both keeping wealthy lovers: one a sugar daddy, the other a rich woman. Just thinking about it brought tears to their eyes. From the start, things were still going badly.

No problem. Watch them write scripts and turn conventions on their head, trying everything from fluffy romances and female-led stories to fake heiresses and martial arts dramas.

Once they'd made some money, they could help people, too!

World Three: [Complete]

They opened their eyes as a Hong Kong teen delinquent and a young gang member, getting beaten up on a film set.

Watch them keep fighting their way back to the top!

In the real world between these adventures, just as their careers were fading, they first landed a film, then made their variety show debut, and then got a part in Love Among Middle-Aged Men and Women.

The plot was too ridiculous? Change it! They could always pay for it themselves.

From movies and TV dramas at home and abroad, they took on all kinds of great roles, trying romance, martial arts, comedy, and thrillers.

They won so many awards they could hardly hold them all, and had long since made a comeback!

The way they used to be:

They pretended to be affectionate in public, but privately gritted their teeth at each other:

"Middle-aged men really are greasy!"

"Middle-aged women are so unreasonable!"

The way they are now:

"Honey, I love the way you reverse one-handed!"

"Darling, I love the way you carry your purse in high heels and click-clack your way right into my heart!"

Their assistants exchanged a look, turned around, and couldn't help retching.

Their fans wept with joy: I believe in love again!

Note: The golden finger isn't overpowered, and there are only a few terrible people.

Theme: Life needs a new script, and love needs a little freshening up.
