I Became a Lucky Star After Leaving the Industry

. Xu Chi, a minor actor with a pretty face and no talent to speak of, left the entertainment industry in obscurity after every attempt to promote him failed to make him famous. After retiring, he had no useful skills to fall back on, so he made an account and became a pretty-boy streamer. But he was terrible at games, couldn't carry a tune, and had no sense of humor. Aside from his good looks, he was useless. Just as Xu Chi was about to head to a factory to tighten screws for a living, he suddenly received several tips. "I bought a lottery ticket on a whim while watching your livestream last week and won 2,000 yuan! Treating Chichi to some spicy strips~" "My ex-boyfriend proposed to me! Treating Chichi to wedding candy!" "I got the offer I wanted so badly! Sharing the good vibes!" Xu Chi: C-congratulations. He'd originally planned to make a living off his face, but his fans insisted on treating him like a god and even bestowed on him the title: King of the Turtles. After being warned by the platform again and again, Xu Chi tried desperately to explain himself: Everyone must have worked hard enough to find the jobs they wanted. Finding a partner is their own achievement. This really has nothing to do with me!!! Netizens: Don't be so modest! Even the turtles in a wishing pond aren't this effective! It wasn't just the people in his livestream who believed in his supposed powers. Quite a few of his former seniors in the entertainment industry even reached out to him, inviting him to be present on set. Xu Chi was lured into a film studio by his peculiar reputation and spent every day being "claimed" by different production crews to play bit parts. Then, out of nowhere, his old boss from his former agency came looking for him. Song Jiming, director and CEO of Starcatcher Entertainment, had paid Xu Chi a living wage for five years, even though the company was losing money on him. He was a very unlucky man who had only survived this long through 200% hard work after the fact. Though capable and talented, he always had bad luck. Every line of work he tried went under, except for his talent agency in the entertainment industry, which thrived. Xu Chi (on guard): It wasn't me! I didn't do anything! You have to believe in science! Song Jiming: You can keep all the income from your assignments, and I'll pay you a salary. Come back and let us put your name on the roster. Xu Chi: Yes, boss. I'll get down on my knees for you right now. Song Jiming discovered that one of the struggling performers under his management was like a very polite stray cat. All it took was a few little snacks, and he would always bring back all sorts of "gifts." So cute. I want to keep him. He wondered what kind of betrothal gifts he would need to offer to lure the little cat home. A note for readers: This is not fantasy danmei, and the protagonist has no supernatural powers. In real life, you should still believe that hard work pays off. You deserve all the good luck you get! This novel will go premium after Chapter 35 on November 16.

"You can rank near the top of your class without studying much. You can toss a little money into a new venture and make a fortune. And even if you're arrogant and domineering, countless people will love you for being your authentic self." X: So my character is basically... System: "But when the protagonist is in danger, you have to help them beyond your limits, whether with money, affection, or even your own health." "When the protagonist is hungry, take them out for food and fun. When they're tired, give them a safe haven. When they're in financial trouble, give them money, people, and companies." "Even if the protagonist is in danger, you have to take the most fatal blow for them." X: ...So I'm just a total sucker?! "Of course, your aura of good fortune will always get you out of danger. After the story ends, you can enjoy everything you're entitled to." X: The reward you just described hit me right here... in my chest, my ribs, uh, my heart. Right in the heart. After accepting the sucker mission, X traveled between worlds, working hard and selflessly dedicating himself to the protagonists, determined to clear a broad path for them. The protagonist, battered by fate and abandoned by everyone, secretly clutched X's clothes in his arms. X was the only light in his endless nights. Even if it meant dying, he would hide him away so no one else could catch even a glimpse of him. When the protagonist's family fell from grace and his parents went to prison, everyone else kept their distance. X gave his time and effort, even falling out with his own family to help the protagonist get back on his feet, expose the mastermind, and restore the family. The proud, aloof darling of the heavens had never bowed his head, even at his lowest. Yet when he stood at the very top, he lowered his head to kiss X's ankle, utterly submissive, his eyes filled with a tenderness that would not fade. When the protagonist was a frivolous playboy, passionate yet unfeeling, X was the close friend who cleaned up his messes. When the protagonist fell deeply for someone and was left heartbroken, X was his fallback, the one who pulled him up only to send him back out again. X, who had devoted himself wholeheartedly to being a sucker, realized the protagonists were looking at him with increasing obsession. Their possessive gazes seemed to claim him as their own, trapping him step by step in an intricately woven abyss. X, who had inexplicably found himself in a love rivalry and been pursued by protagonists into the next world to be seized and fought over again and again, held his aching waist and stared wordlessly at the System. Did you steal this server from Jinjiang? ★ Next Novel ★ Everyone Wants to Play a Tragic Romance with a Goofball X transmigrated into a tragic romance novel as the story's universally adored protagonist. In the book, he had a miserable background: his father didn't love him, his mother didn't care for him, and after the real young master exposed him to one humiliating face-slapping after another, he had to give everything back. His older brothers despised him for being lazy and greedy, and even the best upbringing couldn't fix the rot in his bones. His fiance no longer cared about their past at all and turned around to break off their engagement. Everyone around him wanted to rush over, kick him while he was down, and send him back to the dirt and mud. X climbed out of a pool, soaked and disheveled, only for the real young master to plant a foot on his chest. The expensive handmade leather shoe flicked open one of his loose buttons, his gaze full of amusement. "Brother, you still owe me eighteen years' worth of debt. And now you've gone and dirtied my shoe." X had nothing to his name and dutifully went out to work, only to make a fool of himself in front of his former fiance. The man furrowed his brow and gripped X's chin. "Don't try such a low trick on me. You were never the one I was engaged to." With nowhere else to turn, X took a job tutoring a college student, but ended up at the home of a wealthy old friend. The young man seized his ankle, as if he wanted to crush it. "Looks like the pride you were so determined to hold on to is worthless now. Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time together." X clutched his waistband and scrambled across the floor. "This isn't the road to Jinjiang Literature City!!!" To escape the tragic romance plot, X decided to use magic to defeat magic. There's no one a goofy story can't infect. And if there is, just add some nonsense-literature. "Huh? What should you do, then? Maybe call the police." "That'd be great. I'd rather be a stepmother. I wouldn't look twice at a family without a son." "I know you're not in a hurry, but I'm really in a hurry. If a dog bites you, wouldn't you be in a hurry too?" Thanks for asking. Since I stopped caring about manners, my mental state has gotten a lot better. Theme: Believe in science. Hard work pays off. Luck starts with taking action, and opportunities go to those who are prepared!
