Showbiz: Famous Without a Role

Parallel world, not Chinese entertainment, no System. “Mr. Lu Che, which hit drama made you famous?” “Rising Winds.” “What role did you play in it?” “I wasn’t in it.” After transmigrating, Lu Che became a star. He was just about to enjoy the fame and fortune that came with it when he discovered he’d been washed up for three years, and that his investment failures had wiped out all his money. He had no fame and no money, so he could only comfort himself. “It’s fine. At least I was famous once. I’m still a star, and I haven’t had a scandal. If I just do something down-to-earth, the contrast with my lofty celebrity status will give people something to talk about.” To make a comeback, he delivered takeout and worked on construction sites. But none of it made headlines, and all he got was ridicule. Just as he was racking his brains for a comeback plan, something he never expected happened. An official announcement, a new drama’s spectacular failure, and some netizens digging through the archives somehow helped him achieve his goal.
