Updated daily at 8 p.m.
Emperor Mingjing, Xie Tingsi, single-handedly held together a kingdom battered by storms and brought back the golden age of the Sa Dynasty, only to die young. He transmigrated into the body of an obscure modern celebrity.
He opened his eyes to find himself facing unspoken workplace rules, then discovered he was penniless while his predecessor's family was waiting for money to save someone's life.
His Majesty simply smiled. "Easy."
In the past, Xie Tingsi was practically unknown in the entertainment industry.
That changed when Thousand Autumns aired. The supporting role of the Fifth Prince became its biggest highlight, winning him countless fans.
He joined a history variety show, and his rivals mocked him for being uneducated.
He took a role in a major IP adaptation, and haters called him an industry plant.
He signed an international endorsement, and paparazzi accused him of acting like a diva.
But then...
During the variety show's quiz segment, Xie Tingsi scored a perfect mark.
The comments flooded the screen: "Weren't you supposed to have dropped out of high school?"
The director of the big-budget adaptation released his audition footage, and Xie Tingsi won the role on merit.
The book's fans were stunned: "He's exactly how I pictured him!"
His assistant released behind-the-scenes footage of the endorsement shoot, showing Xie Tingsi getting into the water again and again.
The whole internet was shocked: "He's that dedicated?"
When Ten Thousand Generations, the sequel to Thousand Autumns, premiered, Xie Tingsi drove countless people wild. They declared him the reincarnation of Emperor Mingjing himself.
Xie Tingsi reached the top of the popularity charts. Before his fans could even celebrate, he went on to win the Best Actor award.
Everyone: "What?!"
His Majesty replied coolly, "That's it?"
Tao Yanci, an actor who played opposite Xie Tingsi on the set of Thousand Autumns, looked vaguely familiar. He looked even more familiar in costume, reminding Xie Tingsi of the chancellor from his previous life.
Xie Tingsi lost himself in thought and instinctively called out, "Tao Fusheng."
Tao Yanci turned to look at him, suddenly stunned.
The setting is fictional, and the characters are not based on real people.
If this book isn't for you, see you in the next one!
