A seemingly aloof but truly airheaded actor transmigrated from ancient times x a seemingly spoiled but truly purehearted, proud mixed-race young master
A friends-to-lovers sugar-baby romance
Mu Qianyu, a disciple of the Heartless Dao, failed his tribulation and suddenly transmigrated from ancient times to the modern world. On top of taking over the body of a widely disliked, pretty-boy extra in the entertainment industry, his terrible acting leaves him facing a bleak future: his company plans to terminate his contract, and he'll starve on the street.
When it rains, it pours. The mixed-race young man he accidentally slept with turns out to be Qin Yao, the young master of the company that owns his agency and a notoriously bad-tempered prince of the industry.
Remembering how he'd treated him like a donkey last night, the guilty Mu Qianyu pulls up his pants and runs, resigned to being blacklisted across the internet.
Sure enough, the young master comes storming over, accusing him of being a shameless flirt who'd tried to sleep his way to the top.
And, with a show of false reluctance, he hands over a sugar-baby contract.
Mu Qianyu: ?
Well, okay.
A windfall dropped right into his lap. He'd be a fool not to take it.
And so he begins a life of slacking off on set during the day, tangling with the young master in luxury cars and mansions at night, occasionally getting into ridiculous childish arguments, and getting paid for it all.
Then fortune turns. A video of him performing a sword fight on a high-altitude wire without a stunt double gets edited into a clip that racks up millions of views, and he becomes an overnight sensation.
Reluctantly, Mu Qianyu has to end his laid-back lifestyle and rush from variety show appearances to acting gigs.
He becomes the darling of the fans, and his value skyrockets. He also racks up countless trending topics, both positive and negative.

He can't get into the mood for the big romantic scenes, forcing filming to stop.
...The side effects of the Heartless Dao, apparently -_-||
With no other choice, Mu Qianyu knocks on the door of the CEO's office to confess to his new boss, Qin Yao.
To his surprise, the young master, who usually looks down on everyone, drops all his usual arrogance and corners him against the wall.
"Then, Teacher Mu, how about... we try dating to find some inspiration?"
Someone's brain shuts down.
Huh?
Date? Me?

1. One-on-one, each other's first love, both sexually inexperienced. From friends with benefits to soulmates. Mostly two childish idiots bickering and dating. A silly, nonsensical, fluffy comedy, so just read it for fun!
2. The author isn't a celebrity fan and knows little about the entertainment industry, so the related details may not be rigorous or realistic. Please be kind, orz.
*This isn't the final blurb. It may be adjusted before the novel officially opens, but the core premise won't change~
Theme: Success requires putting in the work
