Jiang Che transmigrates into a parallel world as a third-rate composer and unexpectedly obtains the Entertainment Anti-Fan System. System: Simply increase your hater value, and all kinds of goods will be available for you to choose from! Jiang Che: So what if it attracts negative attention? What's so difficult about that? From then on, he made outrageous remarks in the entertainment industry, deliberately courting disaster. Did it coincide with the release date of a song by a superstar? Jiang Che arrogantly declared, "That's right, I did it on purpose. I punched the king of pop and kicked the movie star." Interviewed while attending a film and television red carpet event Jiang Che blurted out arrogantly: "Whose film is this? Based on the defense!" The scene erupted in uproar. Jiang Che quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to him." "I mean all the works here are defenses." Jiang Che, who reigns supreme in the entertainment industry every day, sits confidently waiting to squander his points. But what's going on?! Where's the promised surge in haters? Why is the number of loyal fans increasing by countless numbers instead?! The reason? All the boasts he made have come true?!

Wen Xu disliked life in big cities because it made him feel like he was always in a rush, and his mind and body never seemed to get a moment's rest. The little salary he received never seemed to be enough to live on, not to mention the sky where he could hardly see any stars, and the endless smog. Finally, he had a chance to escape the city and return to the countryside. Even though he was poor at first, the land and mountains of his hometown finally calmed Wenxu's wandering heart. Green mountains, clear waters, undulating terraced fields, lush forests and trees, and at night, he could look up to see a sky full of stars or a bright moon. Listening to the birds singing and the insects chirping, he could sleep soundly on the comfortable wooden bed until he naturally woke up. This was the life Wenxu wanted.
