The Unwelcome Heir's Life After Leaving the Entertainment Industry

Chu An spent his days going back and forth between home and work, living the 996 grind, but after years of saving, he still couldn't afford even a bathroom.

One day, he transmigrated into a book and became the most hated character in a rich-family novel.

His parents deposited a fixed 500,000 yuan in spending money into his account every month, with just one condition: Don't bother us!

His arranged marriage partner knelt before him: Call off the engagement, and I'll give you ten million.

His agent couldn't stand him: Behave yourself, and you can still get dividends from your shares.

His fans begged him to lie low: Remember, you're nothing but a pretty face.

Chu An cried with excitement. He was going to grab this heaven-sent fortune with both hands!

The original Chu An was the youngest son of the Chu family, found at the age of twelve. His fake younger brother, the golden child of their family, was so outstanding that Chu An was constantly excluded and ignored. At eighteen, his looks made him famous and he successfully debuted, but after pulling cheap stunts like using others to boost himself, the entire internet turned against him. Nobody liked him. Everyone wanted him to disappear.

And Chu An really did perform a disappearing act.

Everyone: Great, finally some peace and quiet.

Chu An hurried off to the countryside and bought a rural home with three floors, a basement, and a vegetable garden. Every morning, he woke up in a natural oxygen bar surrounded by woods. He spent his mornings tending the flowers and plants, his afternoons writing, and his evenings walking the dog. Sometimes he glanced at the growing balance in his bank account and sighed over how nice it was to retire early.

Oh, right. A neighbor auntie introduced him to a man, and they got married on a whim. His life was wonderfully comfortable.

Two years later, Chu An accidentally appeared on a reality show called Dream Home.

At first, netizens thought it was another one of his cheap stunts. Then:

The way he pets that dog is so gentle.

His looks have stunned me into immobility all over again.

Why did I used to dislike him? He's got such great taste.

I wish he could be my wife, but he's already married so young. Just kill me!

Only then did his agent remember that Chu An was still one of his artists, and quickly booked him for a reality show.

Netizens were excited to see Chu An's first variety show appearance, but to their surprise, the production team had also invited Yi Ning, the top-tier star Chu An had once used to boost himself, who had since become a leading figure in the entertainment industry.

Oh, wow, this production team really knows how to stir things up.

Chu An, stay away from Yi Ning! Be careful, the haters could come back!

Poor An'an. The production team is the worst!

Netizens had initially worried about Chu An, but then the mood changed:

Yi Ning, is it really okay to carry things for An'an?

Yi Ning, why are you serving An'an food?

Yi Ning, An'an has a husband! Why are you tucking him in?

Yi Ning, can you stop sneaking glances at An'an?

His fans started to feel uneasy.

That night, the trending topic “Top-tier Star Falls for a Married Man” took over the internet.

[Disgusting! Ew! The homewrecker who knowingly seduces someone else's husband should get out of showbiz! The shameless little tramp who won't be faithful to her husband should get out of showbiz!]

[My husband finally blossomed, only for this to happen... I'm crying so hard.]

[Can I quietly say that I support An'an getting a divorce, or will I get flamed?]

The haters were ecstatic, the fans were devastated, the shippers were full of anticipation... The whole internet was in an uproar!

Public opinion spiraled out of control. Yi Ning quickly posted a photo of his marriage certificate: [We've been married for two years, and our relationship is strong.]

Fans: ?

Haters: ...

The shippers went wild: Aaaaaah! The ship I sail has become real!! We want to see your entire love story!!

Chu An: Thanks for asking. We met on a blind date, got married, and now we're a long-distance married couple. It's pretty ordinary.

Shippers: Ordinary my ass! Your neck is covered in hickeys!

Theme: Stay positive and strive forward.
