Chinese Showbiz: I'm the Lone Top-Tier Star

Reporter: "Mr. Han Xu, sources have revealed that you not only snatched a national endorsement from a top-tier star and bought your way into a major production, but have even used your status as a top-tier star to hold talent shows among your fans... Some netizens call you the biggest playboy and bully in the entertainment industry. What do you have to say about that?"

Han Xu faced the camera with an earnest expression. "That's slander. Pure slander."

"I'm just an ordinary person who happens to know a little more about acting and business than most people, and happens to be just a little better-looking than most people. That's all I am: an actor."

"As for those actresses..." Han Xu sighed. "Let me say this again: when we're alone in a room, we're really only discussing scripts and... the future direction of film and television investments."

Back in 2014, he started out as Xu Yi, the generation's unforgettable first love, in The Left Ear.

While everyone else was scrambling for resources and doing everything they could to break into the industry and rise to fame overnight,

Han Xu had already reached the top, making his declaration to the world:

"I'm the only top-tier star."

PS: The main female characters are born in the 1990s, 1995s, and 2000s. The timeline has been adjusted slightly.
