Blurb:

Yan Shu was a highly skilled artisan in ancient times. One day, he transmigrated into modern times and became a disgraced member of a boy band, hated by the entire internet.

The newly formed boy band SAP was currently popular, and the company had assigned each of its five members a public persona and a role in the group.

The others were the sunny, energetic dance ace, the gentle and generous vocal ace, the honest and dependable all-rounder, and the straightforward, cool rapper.

Yan Shu was the group's pretty face, with a persona of a cold, arrogant pretty boy. He was often expressionless and looked down his nose at people.

The ancient boy was in a difficult position.

He couldn't sing modern pop songs.

He couldn't dance modern street dance.

He couldn't act like a spoiled rich kid.

After several videos of him were exposed, netizens mocked Yan Shu for being useless at his job, said he was dragging the rest of the group down, and told him to quit the band and leave show business.

The company didn't care how the public opinion affected Yan Shu. They had designed his career around getting famous by being hated.

Then his manager told Yan Shu to keep a financial backer company at a drinking party. When the man touched his thigh, Yan Shu couldn't take it anymore. He rose up in revolt and kicked the man straight into the hospital.

The man said he would have Yan Shu blacklisted across the internet. He thought the pretty young man would come crawling back, wagging his tail, just to stay in show business. Who knew Yan Shu would go even further and quit the industry altogether?

After learning how to use his phone and surf the internet, Yan Shu saw that netizens were celebrating his departure from show business. He joined in their celebration.

They were so right. I really am not cut out for being in a boy band!

The ancient boy thought with confidence: I can't sing, dance, or act, but I can embroider!

Every young man in Dayun knew how to embroider, and he was one of the best among them! It had been so long since he'd embroidered. His hands were itching to get started!

Back at his home in the mountains, Yan Shu took up embroidery again. After learning to livestream, he made money from his work and enjoyed a carefree life.

The award-winning actor Wei Tingxiao went deep into the mountains for three months to film a movie. One rainy day, he lost his way and entered a farmhouse.

That day, he saw the young man who had been hated across the internet and driven out of show business. Wearing the simple clothes of the mountain folk, he sat in front of an embroidery frame, concentrating as he deftly threaded his needle.

On the cloth was an almost-finished picture of two fish. The boy embroidered in silence, completely unaware of the man watching him from the doorway.

Later, the actor often posted pictures of the embroidery on his custom-made clothes. Everyone online learned that he had a personal embroiderer.

While filming a countryside variety show, the actor went back to the mountains. This time, the cameras recorded his entire stay at a farmhouse. The usually aloof actor was exceptionally gentle with the young man of the house.

The young man never showed his face, but he did show off his embroidery. On camera, he completed a picture of a dragon and phoenix bringing prosperity, and netizens marveled at its exquisite beauty.

Later, paparazzi photographed the actor sharing an intimate moment with a handsome young man.

The actor dropped the act and went public, saying the young man was his beloved embroidery artist.

During one of Yan Shu's embroidery livestreams, an accident happened. The wind lifted the dragon-and-phoenix embroidery hanging on the frame, revealing that the reverse side showed a portrait of the actor.

It was double-sided embroidery!

Netizens put the pieces together and were horrified: Holy crap! You were embroidering dragons and phoenixes for the camera, but behind the scenes you were "embroidering" your love story! How bold!

One day, the actor suddenly announced that he was taking a break from acting. His fans cried and couldn't understand why.

The actor left them with just one sentence: There's going to be a baby in the family. I'm taking time off to be there for the birth.

Netizens: Is your mother having another baby?!

Pregnant Yan Shu: So even after transmigrating, I still have the body of a young man who can bear children.
