The Real Young Master Goes Viral in Showbiz with Metaphysics

Chi Qingzhou, a washed-up actor from a tiny corner of the industry, was actually the true young master of a wealthy family. As a child, he was switched at birth by the fake young master's mother. Until the age of nineteen, he endured a miserable life, waking before dawn and working late to care for the whole family, while often being beaten. After his wealthy biological parents brought him home, life didn't get any better. His biological parents thought he was uncouth and refused to let him appear in public; His biological older brother thought he was greedy and warned him not to covet the family fortune; His fiance thought he was mean-spirited and, afraid he might hurt the fake young master, constantly kept him under watch and put him down; People in the entertainment industry mocked him, while fawning over the fake young master. Revenge System No. 16594, designed for the reborn, was drawn to his tragic plight. System: "If you are reborn, I can help you take revenge on the scum and reclaim everything stolen from you. Are you ready?" Chi Qingzhou tilted his head, his handsome face full of confusion. "But there aren't any scumbags around me?" System: "???" System No. 16594 had traveled across countless worlds, but had never met anyone as willing to debase himself as Chi Qingzhou. Chi Qingzhou believed that suffering a loss was a blessing. No matter how people around him mistreated him, he insisted they were doing it for his own good. Just as it was regretting its rash decision to bind itself to Chi Qingzhou, the fake young master and the fiance came home after a night of carousing. At the sight of Chi Qingzhou sitting on the sofa, the two of them huddled together like a pair of shivering quails, terrified out of their minds. Chi Qingzhou asked gently, "Are you hungry? I'll go make dinner." At his feet, the black shadow opened its blood-red eyes and grinned hungrily. It whispered, "Their fear smells so good." Next up: "I Get Rich by Going Crazy and Checking In" by Yuan Xu. Search the title or visit my profile to find it. Blurb: A video asked: [If someone offered you 300,000 yuan to kneel and bang your head against a stone bollard three times in the middle of the road, would you agree?] Lin Deng's answer was: Of course! Don't just ask, actually give me the money! After once again raging at a similar short video that asked questions but never followed through, the penniless Lin Deng transmigrated in the most cliched way. Bad news: He had transmigrated into a melodramatic danmei novel, becoming the contrast character to the universally adored protagonist. Good news: Everything in transmigration novels was real, and he had been bound to a check-in System. Bad news: The original host, like him, was penniless. Good news: The System would issue missions. If he could successfully check in in front of characters from the story, he would get money. But the System seemed to have some serious factory-setting malfunction. All of its missions were bizarre, including but not limited to: Eating fried chicken upside down in front of the doctor supporting character who was infatuated with the protagonist; Kneeling in front of the original protagonist and kowtowing, saying, "Please, let me go. I promise I'll never take the same road as you again"; Trying to sell insurance to the air in front of his older brother when he passed the haunted old mansion... At first, Lin Deng refused. He thought Earth was great and didn't want to flee to Mars because of social embarrassment. System: Each successful check-in earns a reward of 500,000 yuan. All funds come from legitimate sources and are given as gifts. Lin Deng: What social embarrassment? This is clearly high art! I will love performance art forever! Reader Notes: 1. The protagonist is the pursued one. The love interest is the one in the shadow, named Xing Shuangzhan. My apprentice is the strongest; 2. I don't follow celebrities, and there are no real-life inspirations. This is a fictional modern entertainment industry setting where same-sex marriage is legal. Some details differ from reality, so don't compare it to real life; 3. My apprentice, the protagonist, has a different way of thinking from ordinary people due to his personal experiences. His actions do not reflect my own views; 4. If this makes you uncomfortable, please make a quick escape, fellow Daoists; 5. I will take leave if anything comes up. 6. I'll say more if I think of anything. Theme: Never give up. Keep striving, and there will be hope.
