My Archnemesis, the Movie Emperor, Seems to Be Playing Me

[Sweethearts, please add these upcoming novels to your collections~ Blurbs below: Reborn Fool Comes to His Senses and The Sickly Crown Prince's Guide to Survival]

In this age of fast-food entertainment, small-time stars who haven't established themselves as icons can easily disappear from the entertainment industry if they aren't careful.

It's no exaggeration to say they can rise in the morning and be gone by night.

So when Chu Yin, who has been blacklisted for seven years, gets a call from his company, he decides to return to the country and take up his old career again.

Even though nobody believes in him, Chu Yin is incredibly resilient inside. He believes that by taking things one step at a time, he'll find his own path.

The only slight problem is... his sworn enemy from seven years ago seems to be his new boss?

[Bonus Scene]

In an interview, Ji Zhanyu seems to tell a joke. The audience isn't quite sure, so they decide to keep watching.

Ji Zhanyu says, "Seven years ago, he was the darling of the group and a popular star, while I was the supporting dancer. I accidentally touched his waist, and he slapped me in front of everyone."

"Seven years later, I'd worked my way up to become an award-winning actor. He'd fallen out of fame and was down on his luck. I couldn't resist teasing him, so I touched his waist again..."

The audience holds its breath, waiting for a satisfying ending.

Ji Zhanyu pauses for a moment, then continues with a laugh.

"And he slapped me in front of everyone again."

Audience: "Tsk..."

Where's the promised twist??

Another upcoming novel

The Sickly Crown Prince's Guide to Survival

[Told in third person]

I transmigrated into a political intrigue novel as the cannon-fodder crown prince who dies in the very first chapter!

The male leads are Huo Tingchao, a general and prince with a different surname who commands the army, and Sheng Xuanyue, a young chancellor who controls the government and the hearts of the people.

They fight for power and love-hate each other for three whole years. In the end, they come to admire each other and decide to support a puppet emperor and rule the world together.

And me, the legitimate crown prince, start with only one bar of health.

I'm gravely ill and unfit to rule. On the day Huo Tingchao stages a coup, I plan to sneak out of the imperial mausoleum, but Sheng Xuanyue's men catch me, skin me alive, and dismember me. I die a horrible death in the mausoleum.

Escape means death, and staying means death...

After transmigrating into the book, I can't sleep at night. I obsess over how to stay alive day and night. After thinking it through, I decide I'm suited to be the puppet emperor three years from now!

The only problem is that I have to survive until then.

So I begin my extreme survival strategy, caught between two powerful men. Today I flatter one, tomorrow I act like the other's devoted lapdog.

At last, the three-year deadline arrives...

The good news is that I make it through the finale with only a sliver of health left.

The not-so-good news is that I've lost my innocence, and I have no idea whose baby I'm carrying...

Oh my god, this was a pregnancy novel all along?

Theme: Stay true to your heart and never bend, even when you break.
