I Rule the Entertainment Industry [An Emperor Travels to the Modern Era]

This is a major side story for The Emperor Shouldn't Be a Cannon Fodder Top. The main story is complete. Visit my author page to find it. Yuan Xi, the mighty Emperor Taizu of Great Wei, transmigrates into the body of a little model who looks exactly like him. The model has no money or connections, is plagued by scandals, and has nothing but a pretty face. Yet he's still pushed into acting, playing none other than Emperor Taizu! Everyone on set stares in amazement at the stiff model who usually does nothing but read his lines in a monotone. "Holy crap, how did this wooden guy Yuan Yingxi suddenly figure out how to act? He's so good!" "That really scared me just now! Turns out Director Zhang was right. He's perfect for playing Emperor Taizu!" Yuan Xi says: I am playing myself. What's so hard about that? In the past, Yuan Yingxi was mocked across the internet for trying to switch from modeling to acting. Even his runway fans lamented his decision, accusing him of selling out to make quick money, and unfollowing him in droves. When the drama aired, his portrayal of Emperor Taizu was so valiant and imposing that it pushed this little-known period of history into the top three trending historical fanfiction tags. In the past, Yuan Yingxi was mocked as a pretty but useless marketing darling with nothing going for him but his height and looks. He was illiterate, stumbled over his words, and was boring to boot. He hadn't made a splash even in his actual career as a runway model, yet he wanted to act. One day, he went on a show to promote his drama and gave an impromptu lecture on Great Wei history. One day, he posted a "copy" of Emperor Taizu's Warm Spring Letter on his social media, and even a big name in the calligraphy association reposted it with praise. One day, he showed off his skills on a reality show, and everyone wondered if he'd trained at Shaolin Temple. One day, after vanishing for a year, he suddenly posted his graduate school acceptance letter. Haters: Yuan Yingxi, that illiterate guy... Wait, what????? Seeing the young chairman of the company with the exact same face as his beloved minister, Yuan Xi freezes. "Your Majesty... I..." Yuan Xi lifts his chin and smiles faintly. "Would you like to be my empress?" The gentle, doting minister Gao Huaiyu, now a domineering CEO, X the formidable emperor Yuan Xi, now a little model. P.S. Long-haired beauty top, handsome bottom. Part of The Emperor Shouldn't Be a Cannon Fodder Top series, but this story stands alone. You don't need to have read the first story to enjoy it. A major side story. A side story! (The first story is about the bottom transmigrating into a heavily altered fanfic where he is written as an OOC tyrant, a scum top and cannon fodder. He changes the original story and fights against fate. It's complete! Visit my author page to find it!) Coming soon: Reborn. Add it to your favorites if you're interested! Blurb: Ji Yue shared a bed with the Dragon Emperor Zhixu for three years, only to discover that Zhixu had always treated him as a stand-in for his first love. So Ji Yue tore off Zhixu's reverse scale, left the Water Heaven Zhixu had built for him, and disappeared without a trace. Later, he learned one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Good news: You're not a stand-in after all. Zhixu loves you. Bad news: Zhixu killed his first love himself, and the first love he killed was also you. Ji Yue: You killed me, then searched everywhere for my soul, brought me back to life, and took me home to raise me. Are you sick? Basically, the bottom had no choice but to kill the top in a past life, then went mad and developed a heart demon. He finds the top's soul and raises him, only for the top to remember his past life. A melodramatic story. There are a few misunderstandings, but in truth neither of them has wronged the other. Formerly a world-destroying ruthless man, now a pampered little prince of the Dragon Palace, top Ji Yue X formerly a carefree drifter in the divine beast realm, now the emotionally steady and reliable Dragon Emperor, bottom Zhixu. Theme: Always strive to learn and improve yourself.
