An Agoraphobe Transmigrates into a Scandal-Ridden Top-Tier Star

Shi Moyu is a severe shut-in. Whenever he goes out, he wears a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, terrified that someone will recognize him and strike up a conversation. He likes nothing more than growing mushrooms in the corner of a room with heavy curtains.

One day, he transmigrates into the body of a notorious celebrity who is constantly getting flamed on trending searches.

The labels stuck to him are impossible to shake: diva behavior, an uneducated fool, a sugar baby, no manners, a pretty face with no talent, and poor professional skills.

His Weibo inbox is crammed with filthy insults and lewd declarations of love. Paparazzi and haters keep watch around his home at all hours, and several bodyguards live with him.

Worst of all, he has a whole string of jobs that put him in the public eye: interviews, ads, variety shows, concerts, and TV dramas.

Quit showbiz! Emigrate! This planet is no longer habitable!

His agency: How about a one-hundred-million-yuan penalty fee?

Shi Moyu: If money can solve a problem, then it's not a problem.

Suddenly, a dazzling new star appears in every profession that doesn't require interacting with people, from novels, songwriting, and screenwriting to painting and software development.

But those fields take time to build up, and the money comes in slowly.

With nothing left to fake an illness about, Shi Moyu is kicked out of the hospital. He spends all his money on over a thousand lottery tickets.

Carrying dozens of bags of laundry detergent, Shi Moyu is sent to the set of a deserted-island survival show.

With people from all sides watching him, Shi Moyu reluctantly gives away the detergent.

One bag each. Stop looking at me.

The celebrities, singers, and hosts Shi Moyu has offended: ?

Is this some new way of mocking us?

Everyone knows Shi Moyu is a pampered brat who can't take care of himself and even needs his assistant to feed him.

The viewers and contestants all wait for him to give up and quit.

Shunned by the other contestants and left to fend for himself, Shi Moyu: Oh yeah!

While the other contestants go hungry, he makes fragrant grilled fish and kelp-and-egg-drop soup.

While the other contestants shiver in the rain, he sits by the fire in a beautifully built stone house.

While the other contestants can't bathe and are covered in grime, he even gives a stray puppy he found a thorough wash.

The contestants: A person absolutely, at the very least, must not envy a dog.

Because of what happened to him as a child, whenever Shi Moyu sees someone, he trembles all over, feels dizzy, and becomes anxious.

Then one day, he meets someone who makes him feel absolutely nothing.

He spends the night rushing around to various mountains, bringing back yellow talismans, holy water, and magical artifacts.

He stuffs a yellow talisman under the weirdo's pillow!

The love interest: He gave me a protective charm. Does he have a crush on me?

Holy water, holy water splashed all over his clothes and shoes!

The love interest: He washed my clothes and polished my shoes. Is he in love with me?

He secretly taps him a few times with a magical artifact!

The love interest: He's giving me a massage. How thoughtful! I'm in love!

The one being pursued: D-don't come any closer!
