After I Started Shipping Myself with Myself

[Bonus extras are dropping at random. Thank you for supporting the official release =3=] Jiang Huai had a handsome face, stood 184 centimeters tall, kept himself in excellent shape, had top-tier professional skills, and was a genius at charming fans. Yet he was a pitiful nobody. The reason was simple. The entertainment industry was a riot of color, but Jiang Huai stood unstained by the mud, untouched by the ripples. In plain language: He was too honest, so he was neither infamous nor popular. No one paid him any attention. After his idol group graduated and disbanded, Jiang Huai ended up filming low-budget short dramas as a minor actor. Who could have known the tiny production crew was so broke that their shoddily made set collapsed? Jiang Huai shoved his young co-star out of the way, but ended up dead himself. He died, then came back to life, and Jiang Huai got a troublesome entertainment-industry comeback System. After the System forced him to watch 1,001 entertainment-industry novels on Jinjiang, Jiang Huai, a straight man, finally understood everything. Manufacture hype! Manufacture hype! I have to manufacture hype! I absolutely must manufacture hype! I'll manufacture hype every day! Reborn, Jiang Huai took current events into account, focused on trending topics, and finally decided that his first step toward manufacturing hype would be to sell a same-sex pairing. But being a straight man, he was too embarrassed to do it with anyone else, so his partner was... A secret identity he'd created himself. Reading Guide: 1. No official couple. Ship whoever you want, fantasize about whoever you want, do whatever you like. 2. Selling a same-sex pairing is one way of manufacturing hype, but not the only way. There'll be all sorts of other publicity stunts too. 3. The male lead's golden finger is really, really, really, really huge. This is a freewheeling story with no logic, designed to deliver one thing: satisfaction! Satisfaction! Satisfaction! [Revised sections] Short version: The entire family storyline has been cut, and the acting arc has been heavily revised. It's recommended to start reading from Chapter 64. Besides the extensively revised acting arc (Chapters 66-74), the original family storyline and When the Wind Rises have also been removed. New material has been added about his parents' deaths (Chapter 42) and where Yu Lan ended up after N1NE disbanded (Chapter 64). When I wrote When the Wind Rises, it was meant to contrast with the original family storyline. Since that storyline has been cut, I basically rewrote the acting arc, although I reused some of the original text. Please bear with me and reread it _(:з"∠)_ Theme: Put your mind to work if you want to get rich
