In 2023, Chen Dong poured his entire fortune into directing his first film, only for the leading actress to run into trouble and all his years of hard work to go to waste.
Fortunately, he got the chance to return to 2002. He decided to start over and pursue his dream anew.
Step one: Get into the Beijing Film Academy.
Step two: Give all the beautiful actresses a home... Unfortunately, he met the mother of his child too soon, and his grand plan was cut short halfway through.
So when all the big shots later came up with their own mottos, he had one too:
Old Ma: I've never touched money. I'm not interested in it.
Old Liu: I'm face-blind. I have no concept of what makes someone beautiful.
Old Wang: Set a small goal, like earning a hundred million first.
Chen Dong: No matter how beautiful an actress is, I'm not interested... Hey, honey, the kid has another parent-teacher meeting? Okay, okay, I'll go.
