Rising to the Top in an Infinite Movie World with Earth Culture

Qi Xingye woke up in the interstellar era. Before he could even take in the wonders of future technology, his stomach started growling.

After the resources on the planet Elonia were completely depleted, higher life forms captured it. All Elonians were forced to enter movies made by these higher life forms and play roles, earning resources to survive by entertaining them.

Qi Xingye became a fifth-class citizen who had to enter a movie every day and play an extra to earn food and water.

The original owner's cause of death: After years of playing extras by the book and never surprising the alien masters, he received a low score in the annual competition. Once the new year began, his food and water rations dwindled until he eventually starved to death in his public housing.

Qi Xingye: ...

Qi Xingye: I'm a wage slave again.

In this new world, Qi Xingye wasn't allowed to slack off, so he promptly chose to enter a movie world and earn resources.

Once inside a movie, Elonians had their memories blocked and could only rely on instinct to play their roles.

Qi Xingye thought he would lose his memories too and have to rely on instinct to play a penny-pinching office worker, scraping by on meager resources. But after entering the movie, he discovered that he still remembered everything!

In the movie Animal City, Qi Xingye was a wolf. When he saw a fox hiring bodyguards, Qi Xingye immediately bowed down and pledged himself to the job. The other wolves all laughed at him for becoming a bodyguard for a fox.

Qi Xingye, now a whole lot fatter, returned to his pack's territory. "Have you even tried egg-yolk cakes? And look at you lot, skinny as praying mantises."

After that, Qi Xingye founded a security company in Animal City and wore a suit and tie.

The stupid wolves were still laughing at him. The smart ones had already put on a little weight.

In the movie Survival Game, Qi Xingye was a fledgling game designer.

While the other players stayed up all night playing games and competing with hundreds of millions of players for first place and resources, Qi Xingye made little games like All-Star Match and Sheep a Sheep online, uploaded them, and cheated for himself to claim first place again and again.

Qi Xingye: If I didn't turn it off, does that mean I turned it on?

In the movie Deadly Business War, Qi Xingye was the sole heir to a bankrupt company. The other two heirs had both run off.

Faced with hundreds of millions in debt, Qi Xingye looked at the goods piled up in several warehouses and launched 9.9 mystery boxes. After they became a huge hit across the interstellar worlds, he teamed up with the border defense corps to release mystery boxes of soldier figurines.

After paying off the debt, Qi Xingye left business for politics. From the council to the law enforcement bureau and then to the presidency, he was the undisputed king behind the throne.

Pairing: Qi Xingye, who only wants to be the protagonist and can think of nothing but getting more screen time, x Song Huaian, who is so smitten that he willingly goes to his death

Theme: Never give up hope, because with hope, you can turn the tables.
