Shen Xiqing had been looked down on his whole life.
At home, they called him a jinx. In the entertainment industry, they said he stole scenes, couldn't act, was scheming and couldn't tolerate his stepbrother. They called him a box-office curse, and the entire internet mocked him as someone everyone hated.
Even his childhood friend called to say, "Qingqing, I want to pursue your younger brother. Help me out, okay?"
Shen Xiqing had finally given up hope. He jumped from a rooftop, but when he opened his eyes, he was back a year earlier.
He saw things clearly now.
To hell with them. He'd be better off playing video games.

Shen Xiqing stopped trying to please them, and they regretted it.
His father was critically ill, and his stepmother and stepbrother refused to get involved. They begged him to come see his father one last time.
His childhood friend found out he was just one of the fish in his womanizing stepbrother's pond and begged for forgiveness.
Netizens discovered he'd been framed. He was actually an excellent actor, and they wrote in blood, begging him to return to the entertainment industry.
But all they got was a photo of Shen Xiqing walking hand in hand down the street with an unfamiliar man.
Fans: Which pig got its snout into my cabbage?!
The next day: Pardon us. Turns out it's that reclusive big shot from the Chu family...

His childhood friend refused to believe it. Shen Xiqing had been with him since they were children, so how could he know someone like that?
He posted a public admonition on Weibo: "Qingqing, don't throw your life away. Come back!"
The whole internet erupted: Shen Xiqing had sold himself to get ahead?!
That evening, the Chu Group's official account posted a photo of a marriage certificate. Its many subsidiary companies reposted it, wishing their boss a happy marriage.

Chu Yifeng lived like a walking corpse until an app suddenly appeared on his phone. In it, he was a pitiful little one being cared for.
Someone accepted his unpredictable moods, gently soothed his festering wounds, and stayed by his side through countless sleepless nights.
Shen Xiqing thought he was just a game character, and made many wishes to a god who didn't exist.
So Chu Yifeng granted every one of them.
