The night Jiang Yuan won the crown for world-class acting, he was reborn in the interstellar era. Explosive advances in technology had opened up an entirely new direction for the entertainment industry.
But the entertainment business of this era seemed rigid and outdated because of ABO gender restrictions.
That didn't matter. With his perfect face and the acting skills he'd honed in his previous life, Jiang Yuan threw himself into acting once more, unwavering in his pursuit of what he loved.
Even though he was only an ordinary beta.
When people expressed regret on his behalf, Jiang Yuan asked, "What's wrong with being a beta? Betas are practically born to act. They aren't affected by heats or pheromones, and they can keep going around the clock, all 365 days of the year."

Even after witnessing a performance as stunning as a miracle, not everyone believed in this beta's acting career.
"Betas don't have much of a market. We're here to create stars."
Jiang Yuan smiled gently, determination in his eyes. He bowed and left the audition studio.
He pushed open the door of the audition tent. The latest top-of-the-line fleet of airships, number one in popularity on the Star Network, formed an extravagant starburst in the sky. Countless petals of moonblue grass drifted down, dyeing the heavens and earth blue and purple.
A man stood by the airship entrance. He brushed the windblown hair from his forehead, revealing a tiny fan-support flower drawn at the end of his brow. His smile was bold and radiant. "Idol, want to star in one of my productions?"
Inside the shabby studio behind him, the broad-shouldered investors were in an uproar. A new intern pointed at the sky and asked timidly, "Who is that?"
The veteran beside him murmured as if in a dream, "Hoss, the investor behind Galaxy Century. Oh my God, what is he doing here...?"
The intern scratched his head. "He said he came to ask someone to act in his show?"
"Who?"
"That beta who just got rejected by the investors."
What kind of lunatic is this?
Jiang Yuan quietly pulled his collar higher and turned to leave.
"Hey, Idol! Meals and lodging are covered, and there's absolutely no casting couch. Really, won't you consider it?"
#Sometimes it's pretty cute when he goes crazy#

One day, staring at what looked like a mark on the back of his neck in the mirror, Jiang Yuan fell into deep suspicion and shoved away the dog head nosing toward him.
"Can you alphas mark betas too?"
Had the biology class he'd crammed for the role been based on a bootleg Star Network source?
But he'd clearly paid eight hundred yuan for it.
When he looked back, Hoss rubbed his nose guiltily. "Um, I think I might be an enigma..."
Jiang Yuan's pupils shook. What the hell was that supposed to be?
