Su Shaobai was mired in scandals and shelved for three years.
Heaven decided to give him an Award-Winning Actor System, but with one slip of the hand, it gave him a Romance System instead.
Su Shaobai's vision went black.
King of Casanovas, bedroom seducer, fragrant green tea, discerning judge of male leads... What on earth are these things???

Rumor has it Su Shaobai landed a major variety show gig.
His haters rejoiced: Su Shaobai is foul-mouthed and has no social skills. He'll be universally mocked on the show.
Su Shaobai: Have a cup of fragrant green tea.
The next day, a ratings record that had stood for years was broken, and Su Shaobai was crowned the God of Variety Shows.
Filming begins on Su Shaobai's low-budget action movie.
His haters jeer: We'll be here waiting for it to flop. Action movies have no market anymore. Su Shaobai's skinny arms and legs? How's he going to make an action movie? It'll all be special effects.
A leaked behind-the-scenes clip shows a seventy-year-old martial arts film legend in tears: Every punch lands, every move is solid. I've finally lived to see this day. A rising star of the highest order has appeared in Chinese martial arts cinema!
Su Shaobai rubs his aching waist and legs: The bedroom seducer skill card comes at a bit of a cost.
His haters eagerly wait day and night for Su Shaobai to crash and burn.
Instead, they see their own idols begging to appear in Director Su's new film, if only as extras.
His haters wait in despair for Su Shaobai to become capital's discarded pawn again.
Instead, they discover that the backers of their own idols are showing up with piles of cash, begging Su Shaobai for a chance to invest.
Su Shaobai: Sorry, but according to my Discerning Judge of Male Leads skill, you'll all crash and burn. I don't want dirty money!
They say there are two kinds of people in show business: Su Shaobai and everyone else.
After three years in the shadows, Su Shaobai shines with a brilliance like no other.
He is the God of Variety Shows, a master of traditional Chinese culture, an award-winning actor, a national treasure of a director, and the god of show business.
He is a cultural symbol of a nation, the shared memory of an era, and a true legend.

System: You have to complete the mandatory startup mission. Choose one: propose, or trigger a group crematorium.
Su Shaobai lies flat and pretends to be dead. Just kill me.
System: Once you complete the startup mission, you can enjoy unlimited movies and shows from another world.
Su Shaobai's eyes light up. Maybe I can give it a try.
A proposal doesn't have to succeed. I'll just find someone who'll definitely say no. Perfect plan!
"Hey, will you marry me?" Su Shaobai raises an eyebrow and smiles. Mission complete.
The next second, his phone buzzes. "Meet me at the Chaoyang District Civil Affairs Bureau at nine tomorrow morning."
Yin Xueqing is a literary luminary, a refined gentleman, and a flower atop an inaccessible peak.
One day, he tells his studio he's going to get a marriage certificate. His partner is the disgraced Su Shaobai.
The studio wails in protest, warning him, "That little tramp isn't sincere. He's scheming to use you to make a comeback."
Yin Xueqing pauses. A boy as radiant as the morning sun appears in his mind, just as he did seven years ago. "That wouldn't be so bad."
