Academic washout, tea-break terminator, Chu Yin woke up one day in the body of an unpopular has-been celebrity whom everyone hated.
The original Chu Yin was mired in scandals, terrible at his job, facing a total online ban, and completely broke.
Looking at the one spacious apartment he still owned, Chu Yin immediately decided: quit show business, sell the apartment, and retire!
System alert: [Gain exposure as soon as possible, or your life will reach zero in 24 hours.]
Chu Yin saw black: Help me up. I can still act.
Online commenters were full of glowing reviews:
[Chu Yin's looks are inversely proportional to his abilities. Maybe when God opened a window for him, He welded the door shut.]
[Chu Yin should switch to mime. Every time he opens his mouth, he goes off-key.]
[Please, big brother, stop trying. Just lie down. The harder you try, the more scared we get.]
His manager jabbed a finger at him and yelled, "Chu Yin, if you had put even half as much enthusiasm into performing as you do into eating, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Chu Yin, with dark circles under his eyes: (╯°□°)╯ I spent all night filming. Is it wrong to eat a steamed bun?
One night, a man calling himself an "Apostle of Calamity" showed up and asked to join him.
Chu Yin, so exhausted he could barely think: "Oh! A fantasy script. Am I playing the villain who gets face-slapped again?"
The man: (O_O)?
Only then did Chu Yin learn that his original self had another identity:
The mastermind behind illegal experiments, the environmental organizations' greatest enemy, the head of the much-hated Prometheus Foundation...
And on the bestseller list The Most Hell-Deserving People in Human History, he ranked second (first place currently vacant).
Chu Yin: (ಥ_ಥ)
The lights in the gloomy underground headquarters were eerie.
Chu Yin counted the countless zeros on this month's remaining balance sheet and looked at the fanatical subordinates filling the room, lost in thought.
A subordinate bowed and asked, "Prophet, this month's funds have arrived. Your orders?"
Chu Yin: "Use the PR budget to buy a trending topic for that entertainer named Chu Yin."
Subordinate: ?
"Do it. Now."
Then one day, Chu Yin pressed the button to tame a star and single-handedly ushered humanity into the interstellar age.
All of humanity: ???
Fans: Big brother's physics is amazing. I love him even more!
Haters: Wait, what?! We told you to get off Earth, and you actually did it?
