Chapter 4: You Ill-Intentioned Man

The onlookers were all stunned. Everyone knew Shen Jintai had filmed before retiring. The idol route was fast to rise but quick to fall. With each new batch, very few would insist on just singing and dancing. They all eventually turn to the road of acting, and Shen Jintai was no exception.

After he and Bai Qingquan debuted on the talent show <Pick Me> together, they competed for the same film and television resources. Shen Jintai was able to suppress Bai Qingquan and successfully starred as the male lead.

As a result, everyone saw that Shen Jintai had contributed several classic funny memes. Too wooden was his evaluation by insiders of the industry.

But the Shen Jintai in front of them now was completely reborn. It wasn’t that he acted more shockingly, but rather he felt much stronger than expected.

Guo Rui only asked him to audition for the role was, first to give Bai Qingquan face, and secondly to save on publicity costs. The topic of Bai Qingquan and Shen Jintai acting together would set off a frenzy. However, he was worried about Shin Jintai’s acting skills. Now he was rest assured. Seeing him acting like this now, he was 100% satisfied to let him have the role.

While his image fitted well, the beauty was a bit lacking. However, Shen Jintai’s own quirks could make up for this shortcoming.

Guo Rui asked him to try on various makeup until he found one that matched the best. He had a lot of say in this drama, so he directly called the producer.

Shen Jintai’s face was still flushed as he pressed a tissue to the end of his red eyes and looked at Li Meilan calmly. Li Meilan suppressed her excitement and said flatly, “Leave it to me.”

The contract still had to be negotiated. Li Meilan originally wanted to go to the temple and pray to Buddha for it, but seeing as Guo Rui was so satisfied and decided so quickly, and this was Shen Jintai’s comeback, she thought there were still a lot of chips on the table and had ample room to negotiate.

The sincerity of the cooperation between the two sides was great, and the contract was quickly accepted. After signing the contract, Shen Jintai received the script for the first 20 episodes.

“Next Monday, all of our main actors will come for a script reading.” The staff reminded him.

Shen Jintai nodded. “Okay.”

It was very important to do a script run-through before shooting. Everyone would sit together to discuss, and further improve and adjust the script.

“Then we’ll see you the day after tomorrow.” Bai Qingquan said with a smile. “I have to go. The photographer over there is urging.”

Shen Jintai took the initiative to reach out, and the two shook hands.

Bai Qingquan: “I was a bit strong just now. Please forgive me. I haven’t slapped anyone before, so I haven’t mastered controlling my strength.”

“It’s okay. Think of it as just practice.” Shen Jintai let go of his hand. The white sunlight from the entrance of the corridor peeked in and shone on him, giving him a glow-up effect. Bai Qingquan was a bit unaccustomed to such a Shen Jintai.

His bones were thin. His form was upright. It seemed his temperament had… changed? What was the meaning of those gentle eyes that were particularly focused when you looked at him?

Looking at him like this caused a flurry in Bai Qingquan’s heart.

Bai Qingquan returned to his room, closed the door, clenched his fists and stomped his feet. “Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!”

His agent, Wei Ge*, saw it and immediately said, “It’s not your own home. You should restrain yourself. If you’re seen like this, your reputation will collapse!”

*Brother. Used to address someone older of similar age group.

“I’m so angry!” Bai Qingquan looked like a different person. “Did you see it just now? Did you see it just now?!”

“I saw it.” Wei Ge said lightly.

Bai Qingquan stomped. “How can he act so well?!”

Lines, breath, bite, emotions, rhythm. He could even quickly produce falling tears!

Wei Ge: “It’s a good thing that you become stronger when you meet the strong.” Wei Ge said.

“But I invited him over to humiliate him! What if I’m ruthlessly crushed?!”

“Have a little confidence in yourself.”

“But that’s just how my acting skills are. My previous golden bell*, wasn’t it you who worked behind the scenes…”

*[Shidi] (视帝) = Honorary award for a male artist who has won awards such as best actor or the most outstanding actor in a TV series. They are usually referred to as “emperor”.

Wei Ge held his forehead. “Then… let’s talk to the director again and replace him?”

Bai Qingquan pursed his lips and pondered for some time. “Forget it. I like him as a supporting role for me.” No matter how good his acting was, it’s only a supporting role of a “beautiful little eunuch”. Shen Jintai was more beautiful than him?! How amusing! He could easily crush him!

Moreover, it’s not like he just met Shen Jintai recently. He knew at Shen Jintai’s level, the part just now must have been extraordinary for him. His acting skills were notoriously wooden. After two years of neglecting his skills, he had become old news.

Recalling the stumbles that Shen Jintai once caused him, the sins he had suffered, and the tears he shed, he resolved to bury Shen Jintai into the ground.

—

“Ahh! Ahh!” Li Meilan stomped.

Shen Jintai asked, “Was my acting okay?”

“It’s not a question of whether it’s okay or not. It was great.” Xiao Tang said, while pushing up his glasses.

“Did you really have an epiphany?” Li Meilan restrained her excitement. “Why did you suddenly act so well?!”

“Perhaps I have suffered a lot from Yan Qiuchi and understood the various states of life!” Shen Jintai said.

“Well done!” Li Meilan said. ” As long as you are willing to work hard, have money and beauty, and are young, you won’t have trouble finding a good man in the future. It’s not like Yan Qiuchi is the only quality man out there!”

“I think so too.” Shen Jintai put his hands in his trouser pockets. “I think Bai Qingquan is much better than Yan Qiuchi!”

He had never seen such a soft and temperamental person! He must capture Bai Qingquan!

Li Meilan and Xiao Tang: “…”

With a “pop” nearby, the two of them turned their heads to look, and saw that the Starbucks in the hands of a young man at the door fell to the ground and splashed coffee everywhere.

After the elevator closed, the young man immediately picked up the cups and hurried to the lobby. Gao Qiao ran fast and took the elevator directly to the tenth floor.

“Boss! There’s something I think I need to tell you!”

Yan Qiuchi sat at the other end of the desk and raised his head, staring at him blankly.

His President Yan was handsomer than the average celebrity, but he was so cold. Gao Qiao was a bit frightened. “I just ran into Shen Jintai by the elevator and heard him say…” He mustered up his courage. “I think I know what he’s up to!”

“I think you might want to look into this more.” Xiao Yang, who was lying down on the sofa, sat up and took out his phone. “Hot search No. 8. Take a look.”

Yan Qiuchi picked up the phone on the table and slowly opened Weibo. When he saw the content on the hot search, his brows slightly frowned.

Gao Qiao also quickly took out his phone and saw the eighth hot search: [Shen Jintai’s Tattoo]

When Shen Jintai fell in love with Yan Qiuchi, he did countless acts in the name of love. The most famous of these was tattooing Yan Qiuchi’s name on his collarbone. The position of the tattoo was very clever. With dance movements, it would be half-visible, half-concealed. When it was first tattooed, many people tried to guess what the complete pattern was, and they attempted to find out several times. However, at Shen Jintai’s last public performance, after performing his routine, he tore open his shirt and showed the name on his chest in front of everyone.

The words “Yan Qiuchi” were facing front and centered in the spotlight.

It not only shocked the entire network, but even the fans were left speechless.

And the eighth hot search that Gao Qiao was currently looking at was a blogger who posted: [Shocking news! Shen Jintai washes off the tattoo of love!]

—

The weather was gloomy. There had been dark clouds, but they had dissipated, allowing the sun to shine through and making the sky glow clear and brilliant.

Before Shen Jintai got into the car, he paused when he saw his reflection in the car’s glass.

He just met a handsome guy like Bai Qingquan, but looking at his own reflection, he couldn’t help but feel muddled. With his current appearance, his qualifications can only be regarded as ordinary in the entertainment industry. But it didn’t matter. As long as he could successfully complete the tasks, one day he would become the most dazzling star.

Shen Jintai: “Hello, Xiao Ai.”

Xiao Ai: “Ding Dong. Dear, how can Xiao Ai help you?”

Shin Jintai: “Can I know in advance the specifics of the rewards?”

Xiao Ai: “Too many, dear. What do you want for yourself? Xiao Ai can help you determine it now.”

Shin Jintai: “Wide shoulders, slender waist, long legs, a good proportion of the head-to-body and head-to-shoulder ratios, and a face for movies that the ancestors would enjoy eating*.

*(祖师爷赏饭吃) = Refers to hard work that will eventually see success.

“You can have all of it!” Xiao Ai said. “I can only tell you that as long as you can think of it, there’s nothing we can’t give, so dear, good luck!”

Hearing Xiao Ai words, Shen Jintai became excited, though it seemed Xiao Ai was more excited than he was!

He sensed that someone was looking at him from upstairs, so he turned to look back, only to see the light reflected off the glass of the building, which was very dazzling.

Chapter 3: Take This Role!

Li Meilan and the others became a little embarrassed. Speaking of Cao Cao and he had arrived*.

*Idiom that refers to speaking of someone and they appear. It references Cao Cao (AKA speak of the devil and he appears).

“President Yan, good morning.” She greeted Yan Qiuchi.

Yan Qiuchi nodded at her but kept looking at Shen Jintai behind her. Shen Jintai’s face turned red as he followed Li Meilan out of the elevator.

“It’s best to be like this.” He suddenly heard Yan Qiuchi say when he passed by him.

……

Hearing this, Shen Jintai turned his head and looked over. He didn’t have on heavy makeup, making his face look plain. His eyes were a little strange. He looked at Yan Qiuchi and said, “Then it’s just as you wish.”

Then, in front of the stunned eyes of everyone, he passed Yan Qiuchi. Yan Qiuchi was startled. He didn’t smell the obnoxious, overbearing perfume that Shen Jintai usually wore. When he looked back, he only saw Shen Jintai’s extraordinarily straight and thin back.

Oh my god, how cool was that!

He felt the clothes that he was wearing now were unlike those of the past. He wanted to put back all the clothes he took off in front of Yan Qiuchi that night, one by one!

“Ding Dong!” At this moment, Xiao Ai suddenly went online. “Congratulations, dear, for successfully obtaining 2 points!”

Damn, it was that easy?!

“It was a bit rattling just now. The male protagonist’s mood swings were detected, which can be regarded as a successful provocation.”

That felt so easy that he could feel his increased beauty would be just around the corner!

“President Yan, don’t be angry. He’s just like that. I don’t know what tricks he’s attempting this time.” Yan Qiuchi’s personal assistant, Gao Qiao, said in the elevator, “He must be playing hard to get!”

The staff next to him also echoed, “Yes. That’s it!”.

“Is he trying to imitate Bai Qingquan?” The speaker was a handsome, slightly weaselly-looking man with gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Despite his looks, he didn’t have a scholarly aura but instead was more like a well-dressed beast.

Yan Qiuchi’s friend Xiao Yang hated Shen Jintai just as much as he did. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Qiuchi. “He’s much more pleasing to the eye now than he used to be.”

Yan Qiuchi’s face became colder.

Gao Qiao chuckled, “Is he trying to make a fool of himself?”

Yan Qiuchi glared at him quite seriously, and Gao Qiao hurriedly shut his mouth.

Their boss has always disliked talking about people secretly, let alone the people around him, even if the person was Shen Jintai, who he hated the most. But Gao Qiao couldn’t understand what was going on in Shen Jintai’s head.

They have grown up with golden spoons in their mouths*. They graduated from a prestigious school. They were upstanding, well-educated, and had a rich demeanor. They behave like dervishes in their private lives. However, Shen Jintai was full of the shortcomings of a dandy, rich and young, and was prodigal with a bad temperament. The only advantage he had going for him was that he had money… But that little money was but a fart in front of the Yan family. They weren’t comparable at all.

*Someone who was born with privilege and wealth and didn’t have to work for it.

Seeing Shen Jintai chase after Yan Qiuchi seemed like such a joke!

Shen Jintai followed Li Meilan and the others into the dressing room.

As soon as he entered, he saw five to six people talking around a handsome guy in a white shirt. The handsome guy listened indifferently as he was slowly filing his nails. When he saw them coming in, he immediately stood up.

“Jintai, long time no see.”

With a tall figure with a touch of boyish and feminine appearance and soft and delicate facial features, the impact of his beauty couldn’t be compared to those seen in photos or text.

As an ordinary reader, Shen Jintai had read the novel <Everyone Loves Bai Yueguang>, and his favorite character was Bai Yueguang. Readers had filters for the protagonist, and now the man on paper had become a reality, standing in front of him vividly.

Shen Jintai remembered the description given to Bai Qingquan’s appearance in <Everyone Loves Bai Yueguang>. His skin was like a shelled egg, his eyes were deep like a lake, and his lips were like flowers. Anyone who saw him was impressed by his temperament.

The author even added a special sentence, “If such a description was used on others, it may be ridiculed by the readers, but if it was used on Bai Qingquan, it would only make people happy and sincere!”

Looking at the person in front of him now, it was the truth! That fairytale-like temperament was ready to come out! It could! It really could!

With that, he fell in love with his rival at first sight!

Shen Jintai also happily stretched out his hand. “You can still recognize me.” No one else seemed to recognize him at first glance.

Bai Qingquan was obviously taken aback for a moment. He probably didn’t expect Shen Jintai, who dared to roll his eyes blatantly under the spotlight, to become so soft and gentle. He felt the same way when Li Meilan told him that Shen Jintai accepted his proposal. Surprised.

Bai Qingquan smiled and said, “Others don’t know. We both debuted together. When we were in the dormitory, I still didn’t know what you look like without your makeup on.”

Shen Jintai looked quite flashy when he had makeup on. Not wearing any makeup now, he looked like the boy next door. In contrast, Bai Qingquan was a famous male god, with or without makeup. It was said that he basically didn’t need to wear makeup when filming!

Shen Jintai couldn’t help but look at Bai Qingquan. Such a superb little 0* beauty, who wouldn’t want to bully him, making his waist sore and his legs soft!

*Refers to him being a shou/bottom/uke.

“Have you met the director?” Bai Qingquan tried to ignore Shen Jintai’s somewhat overly enthusiastic gaze and looked at Li Meilan with a smile.

Li Meilan also showed a bit of a flattering expression to this current top talent and resource coffee in the entertainment industry. “Not yet. Thank you for this job. I will bring him to meet him now.”

Bai Qingquan said with a smile, “Then let’s go together.”

They left the dressing room, and the staff in the dressing room immediately got together and sighed.

“Oh my god. What a whirlwind. Who would have thought two years ago, Shin Jintai, who was at the top of the industry, would now have to rely on Bai Qingquan’s introduction for work!”

“Yeah, on the night of the finals that year, the two of them competed for the C position¹, and the suspense stayed until the last moment. There were even three hot searches²!”

¹The center position in a group of people. It is the most important and most visible to the audience, usually being held by the person with the greatest qualifications and the highest status. The center position is the visible form of the power a celebrity holds, an important proof of a celebrity’s status in the entertainment industry. 
²Think “trending” topics I believe in this case on Weibo.

“I heard that Bai Qingquan was just one vote short of him! This is too fucking dramatic! Moonlight powders* will regret it for life!”

*Bai Qingquan’s fans. [Yueguang] (月光) = Moonlight. Powder refers to fan/fandom.

“Speaking of moonlight powders, it’s hard to make peace! Who doesn’t know that Shen Jintai’s votes were all bought, and Bai Qingquan had to rely on his charm onstage to earn each vote!”

“But fortunately, heaven was fair. Shen Jintai’s family is now bankrupt, and his reputation has been reduced to an 18^th tier. The flow has changed a few times, but only Bai Qingquan remains at the top!”

“So the entertainment industry can’t tolerate a love-filled brain. Is there anything wrong with love sickness?”

“You really have to watch this drama. The two rivals just shook hands and made peace. Now they are going to be in the same series as the first and second male lead. This topic is spicy!”

“You forgot to say that there is still a prince between the two of them!”

Speaking of Yan Qiuchi, a makeup artist blushed. “But it’s no wonder Shen Jintai was fascinated by the young man of the Yan family… He’s also… really handsome. He can knock down a large area of the entertainment industry. He has money, looks, and a nice figure. The perfect male god.”

“Damn it, what do you know. Everyone knows the rumors that Yan Qiuchi has already locked on to Bai Qingquan. Except for the crown prince of the Yan family, the fans have already started calling Bai Qingquan as the Yan’s son-in-law!”

“That Prince Yan is very su*. Have you seen his long legs? How tall is he?”

*(苏断腿) = Internet buzzword often used to describe the advantages of boys being handsome, manly, and good-looking and can easily arouse a girl’s maiden heart and make their whole body soft and uncomfortable.

“I-I only noticed his hand, those deadly hands…”

“There is also his Adam’s apple. So deadly!”

“Waist, that deadly waist, is definitely the best among men!”

“He really has an indescribable sense of abstinence. I could understand why Shen Jintai was so obsessed with him.”

“Heh! What’s the use of being obsessed. Compare to Shen Jintai’s condition, can you compete against Bai Qingquan?!”

……

Li Meilan walked behind Shen Jintai and kept looking at him cautiously.

Shen Jintai had a dandyish habit that offended many people in the entertainment industry. Every time she saw Bai Qingquan, she could only roll her eyes when comparing him with Shen Jintai. She already had enough work as it was, yet she still had to repeatedly teach him how to behave. Still, Shen Jintai never listened. Despite Bai Qingquan’s fan ripping Shen Jintai to shreds, Bai Qingquan still smiled and remained cordial when he saw him. This was the quality of being a top star!

However, she was very surprised today. Shen Jintai turned out to be very obedient and not at all impatient.

Shen Jintai stared at the back of Bai Qingquan’s head and thought. ‘Be grateful.’

There was no actor who didn’t want traffic. This traffic was in the sense of fans, as well as ratings and box office performance. If he didn’t get traffic, it basically meant he wouldn’t have a connection with the male protagonist. At least he still had a reputation for being a veteran actor*. Now that he wasn’t even twenty years old yet he had the chance to be the second male lead in this big drama!

*Clarity: Referring to his previous life.

He had to seize this opportunity!

The name of this drama was <The East Palace is Coming>, an ancient costume drama that had a mix of political conspiracy and power struggles.

He recognized it immediately just by looking at the name! This play was mentioned in the original book!

The male lead of this drama was the top star Bai Qingquan, the female lead was Yang Lizhi, the first flower of the 90s, and the director was Guo Rui, who just made a big hit drama. With such an ensemble, this drama could be considered the most anticipated drama of the year. In fact, he remembered that after the broadcast of this drama, it exploded to phenomenal levels, benefiting all the cast, including several newcomers who were able to ride on its coattails.

The original Shen Jintai died early. Otherwise, seeing Bai Qingquan rise to stardom from this drama would have made him boil over with rage.

<The East Palace is Coming> was a palace fighting drama with few men. Bai Qingquan played the prince. As for Shen Jintai, he was neither the emperor nor the Taoist doctor nor the guard, but instead a little eunuch.

The young eunuch, the confidant of the male protagonist, followed his master’s ascension step by step. Like the ascension of chickens and dogs*, he finally became the great eunuch of a powerful dynasty, and the ultimate villain in the later period.

*Idiom for a person who became an official and the people who followed him benefited as well. It comes from a story about the Huainan King, Liu An. Long story short, he cultivated an elixir that would allow him to ascend heaven and become an immortal. After ascension, he scattered the remaining elixir in the yard and it was eaten by chickens and dogs, thus allowing them to ascend as well. || In this context, it’s saying Li Xu followed his master, and when his master rose to the top, he also benefitted.

He was garish, bad, and treacherous. His feelings for the male protagonist were very subtle and could make the audience emotional.

Not only did the heroine had to fight with other women, but she had to contend with this little eunuch as well. Such innovation in this kind of plot would surely make the drama popular!

The section he wanted to try was his highlight. In order to help his master enter the East Palace, the little eunuch relied on his beauty to seduce and frame the crown prince as a cut-sleeve*. After being caught by the Empress, he intended to sow discord between them, whittling down the harmony between the Empress and the crown prince.

*Homosexual/gay.

“A slave is only a mere humble slave and can only obey the instructions of their masters. His Royal Highness wanted a slave to serve, and the slave could only serve with all his heart. If the service wasn’t good, the prince would be dissatisfied. If the service is good, the Empress wants to cure the sin of the slave. It seems that the only path this slave has is death.”

Could it be that the scale of this TV series in the world of this novel was so grand that they could shoot anything?

“Are you ready?” Director Guo Rui asked with a smile.

Shen Jintai put down the piece of paper in his hand, let out a sigh of relief, and nodded.

In his previous life, he used to struggle for resources. He relied on audition after audition for every play to hone his abilities. He had many rich experiences, so he was able to show his acting skills using the shortest amount of time and the fewest lines. Crying was his strong point.

It was just a little embarrassing.

He had read those types of novels before that had thunderous scenes that traversed the sudden changes in a female’s temperament, shocking the audience with their explosive skills. Now he was going to reproduce this bloody scene!

How embarrassing, yet also exciting.

“Do you need me to help you with this scene?” Bai Qingquan asked in a warm voice. “I’m afraid you will be embarrassed if you act alone.”

Seeing was believing. Sure enough, he was a beautiful, kind-hearted little princess.

“Okay.” Shen Jintai said. Having more contact with Bai Qingquan would make accomplishing tasks easier in the future.

Li Meilan and Xiao Tang both clenched their fists, and everyone in the room stared at them.

Oh my god! They really wanted to take out their mobile phones and record this! Unfortunately, news about this drama could not be leaked.

Bai Qingquan was going to hit Shen Jintai! Rumors had it that Shen Jintai once slapped Bai Qingquan in a dressing room two years ago. Was this going to be a reenactment but flipped?

“Fake fight, right?” Bai Qingquan said.

“Let’s really fight so the reaction is more real.” Shen Jintai rubbed his hair and said, “You don’t need to be merciful.”

Bai Qingquan’s eyes looked uncertain, and his red lips curled slightly.

“Let’s get started.” Guo Rui clenched the script tightly.

Shen Jintai nodded at Bai Qingquan. Bai Qingquan’s lips trembled slightly, as if he couldn’t restrain his inner excitement as he immersed himself in the play. “Shameless dog minion, how dare you charm the prince!”

After saying his line, a loud “Pap!” rang out as he directly slapped Shen Jintai.

Shit!

Li Meilan shuddered. Jintai, don’t get carried away! This was all an act! She was really afraid that Shen Jintai would suddenly erupt.

Shen Jintai rubbed the corner of his mouth, then raised his head. The look in his eyes changed.

Li Meilan thought, ‘…Is this… really the Shen Jintai she brought?’

The rotten wood, which had always been considered unworkable, was now blooming in spring!

The author has something to say:

Be my little princess, just eat forks and don’t suffer.

Kinky thoughts:

So… let’s take a vote… will Bai Qingquan turn out to be a white lotus (bitch)*?

*Refers to a character who appears innocent, naïve, impossibly perfect, and pure on the surface (white lotus), but uses this reputation to back stab, blame, or sling mud on others (white lotus bitch).

Chapter 2: How Did He Change His Appearance?

Shen Jintai debuted a few years ago, and his only masterpiece was chasing men.

These days, in the entertainment circle, when referring to publicly chasing men, there was only one person who would come to mind: Shen Jintai. He, who was single before, generously spent money like dirt to chase after a man until he went bankrupt, yet still remained single in the aftermath.

When he returned home, Shen Jintai went to look in the mirror. The reflection showed a boy with red hair and fuchsia eyeshadow. His face showed a tinge of immaturity that made it look grisly, which was quite in line with the state of a vicious cannon fodder that was about to go offline.

His facial features were not exquisite compared to other handsome men in the industry, but still had potential. He also had the advantage that his skin was good, and his face was small.

He thought about the reward he’d get for completing his first task, and quickly looked at his ass. He felt that this figure was already good. He was almost 6 feet tall. His body wasn’t very wide either. His abdominal lines had blurred, revealing only skin and bones. On his collarbone was a tattoo that was…

Damn! It was Yan Qiuchi’s name with a red heart around it!

Nowadays, in a harmonious society and in the entertainment circle, such a big tattoo would be censored on TV, right?! Oh no. And this red hair was also inappropriate for television as well.

Without a second thought, Shen Jintai went to a tattoo shop.

“Are you sure you want to wash it off?” The handsome, tattooed guy repeatedly asked.

“Yes. I’m sure.”

He had washed his face before going out. Without make-up on, his face looked quite different from the gorgeous and enchanting appearance he had on stage. Still, the handsome tattooed guy recognized him and asked, “Hey, are you… Shen Jintai?” His tone sounded tentative, as if he wasn’t quite sure. How could Shen Jintai come to a small street shop like this? Wasn’t he a big star?

Shen Jintai once again felt the graces of his stardom! As a veteran actor who worked diligently for N-years and remained unknown, this kind of experience was both sour and refreshing!

If you’re not afraid of being blackened in the entertainment industry, then you’re not afraid of being popular.

“I am,” Shen Jintai said.

The tattooed guy became a little excited.

“Do you want a photo?” Shen Jintai took the initiative to ask.

The tattooed brother nodded frantically, and quickly took out his cell phone: “My girlfriend used to like you very much.” That was before. Later… Later, his girlfriend turned black*.

*Slandering and creating or spreading black materials (negative information) to defame someone or some projects, usually done by anti-fans. In this context, it means she became an anti-fan.

After taking the photo, the tattoo brother washed his tattoo.

“Can it be removed?” he asked.

“Your tattoo is too deep, and you have a colored tattoo. There’s no way to completely wash it off. It’s impossible to remove, but if you wash it a few times, it will get lighter.”

“Will it leave scars?”

“This depends on the person’s physique. Usually there is a bit of scarring.”

Shen Jintai nodded. “Wash it.”

The tattoo spread down from his collarbone and reached an indescribable place, which made the position very tricky to wash. It felt very painful during the washing process. He estimated that it was even more painful than when he got it tattooed. He felt blood dripping on his chest as he lay there with his eyes closed.

Death due to drought and death due to drowning*.

*Idiom referring to two extremes by using two extreme phenomena to show the gap between the two.

If he had this kind of luck, he would have become popular on his debut, yet this cannon fodder became pig-brained and retired for love. These are the types on the side of the enemy, especially those who would go dumb just for love.

After Shen Jintai retired, he still had a few old fans who never gave up. However, these old fans were completely stripped of their powder* after Shen Jintai tattooed Yan Qiuchi’s name on his body.

*Fans/fandom.

Fuck. He had never seen anyone so cheap!

The tattooed brother stomped his feet excitedly while washing.

Usually, tattoos had a deep story behind them, though there were few that were as full of love and hate as this one. When you love, you shouldn’t tattoo them onto your flesh. Otherwise, when you hate, the layer on your skin needed to be scraped off to remove all traces of it.

The tattoo brother thought, ‘Who is this Yan Qiuchi?’ The pattern was so deep, and it was tattooed in such a conspicuous space. He felt the name was a bit familiar and resolved to ask his girlfriend when he went back!

Shen Jintai made an appointment to come back again next week and went out clutching his chest. Although the treatment was done, his skin still showed some blood stains.

This was the price of love!

As soon as he sent Shen Jintai on his way, the tattooed brother immediately called his girlfriend. “Baby, guess who was here just now?!”

The girlfriend was curious. “Who?”

“Shen Jintai!”

Fans always had strong emotions regarding their fandom. They had a strong desire to love them, but this feeling can also give rise to hate. His girlfriend was silent for a few seconds before replying, “Are you trying to pick a fight?! Don’t mention that stupid bitch to me!”

—

The sky outside was already dim signaling the start of night, but the streetlights weren’t on yet. Passersby were in a hurry, and no one recognized him, even though he had iconic red hair. He went to a salon not far away to dye his hair and change to a fresher hairstyle.

Red hair made his natural skin look too pale and tender. Dyeing it black made it fairer.

The young barber said, “You kind of remind me of a star.”  Though after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn’t recall the name Shen Jintai.

Shen Jintai smiled in the mirror. He was not familiar with this face yet. When he looked in the mirror, he seemed to be looking at someone else. He saw an unfamiliar fresh facial feature that was enveloped around his soul full of ambition and desire. Blended together, they formed a contradictory attraction, just like water under a frozen river in spring, ready to break the ice.

If he became more handsome, he would enthrall the entire entertainment industry!

When he left the salon, he reflexively reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette. Instead, he felt something soft and cottony. After looking, he remembered that it was the thong he had tucked into his pocket. He was about to throw it into a trash can nearby when he hesitated and looked at the suit jacket that he was wearing and felt it was extremely loose and ill-fitted.

This seemed to be Yan Qiuchi’s. He took the wrong one when he was rushing out.

When Shen Jintai came home, he hung the thong and the suit jacket next to each other to amplify the contrast between the trashy thong and chic suit jacket. He planned to look at them every day as a warning and to give him motivation.

—

After a day’s rest at home, Li Meilan called.

Shen Jintai kicked his blanket away without opening his eyes. He was accustomed to sleeping without clothes. He stretched out his limbs and dangled his long legs on the edge of the bed. “Hello?”

Li Meilan said, “I picked up a role for you. Male number two. Are you going?”

What? Male number two! Of course he’ll go! This is the second main male character!

“Will go, will go.” Shen Jintai opened his eyes immediately and sat up vigorously. “I can’t believe I can still get the role of a second male lead.” He was quite breathless.

Li Meilan laughed dryly. “But…”

She coughed. “The male lead is Bai Yueguang.” Bai Yueguang was not only in the title of the novel, but it was also the elegant name given to him by his fans.

The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone flows up. It was specially paired with Bai Yueguang.

Everyone knew that Shen Jintai and Bai Yueguang were rivals.

Li Meilan thought that he was afraid and would refuse, so she hurriedly said, “You also know that you have been silent for the past two years. And you know how fast the entertainment industry changes. At the moment, the only resources I can get for you are all activities in some small 18^th-tier cities with no scripts.”

This wasn’t a surprise. Shen Jintai was famous for his stiff acting. He once acted in an idol drama, but due to his awkward acting, he became a meme.

“Bai Yueguang was really kind. When he heard that you were going to make a comeback, he immediately called the producer. The producer readily agreed and asked you to audition tomorrow. Bai Yueguang is now one of the top actors in the industry. You being the second male lead in this project would be the best route for your comeback. You should consider it carefully.”

Of course, the producer would agree. The fact that they were both rivals outside of the play and that their roles are the same inside it would generate a lot of buzz. This would catapult Shin Jintai back into the limelight. His comeback needed to be big and explosive.

“Also…” Li Meilan paused, and finally said, “This drama is one of the key investment projects of Sunshine Media this year…”

Sunshine Media was a film and television company that was established by the Yan Group in the past two years. Yan Qiuchi, the young prince of the Yan family, was in charge of it.

“Needless to say, I’ll go.” Shen Jintai said. He was worried that he would not have a chance to come into contact with these two people.

“Ding dong! Dear, Xiao Ai is online.”

“Holy shit!” Shen Jintai suddenly tossed his phone away. “You scared me to death!”

Xiao Ai chuckled. “Congratulations, dear. You will officially enter the strategy action plan tomorrow.”

“Are you going to release a plot task?”

“No, we are a very humane love system. We only ask for results, and we don’t care what kind of measures you take. However, in order to make you more motivated, I plan to give you a nice offer.”

“What offer?”

“According to the original rules, you will have to attack the white moonlight to get the first reward. However, to better acquaint you with our reward system and to show that we care for you, we’ll give you a reward and an upgrade in advance. You only need to accumulate 10 points to get your ass reward.”

“Can you tell me about the next reward?” He didn’t want it all to be about the ass. What he wanted was face, face, face!

“Wait a minute, Xiao Ai will check it for you… Dear, your next reward is to become beautiful.”

Shen Jintai was finally relieved.

“Because the theme of your reward is to make you become more beautiful and sexier, these traits are rewarded in turn. That is to say, your first reward will be related to something sexy, and the next reward will be related to beauty. This will continue to rotate back and forth like so.”

Well, to be a star, you really need both body and face.

“By the way, Xiao Ai kindly reminds you that though your task is to attack Bai Yueguang, your real goal is to suppress the male protagonist in order to sharpen him and make him stronger and more ambitious. So, in addition to your task of attacking Bai Yueguang, you can get additional points if your actions affect the male protagonist positively. After all, the conflict between the male protagonist and the villain will make readers’ blood boil, increasing their enthusiasm for the novel.”

So it was like this.

“The more intense the conflict, the more reward points.”

Why did he think that this was weird? This shameful reward system couldn’t help but make people think crookedly.

As soon as he made up his mind, Xiao Ai laughed “hehehe”. It was relying on this.

“Can you stop laughing so wretchedly.”

“Okay, Xiao Ai won’t bother you anymore. I’m going offline! Good luck! Good luck! Good luck! Beep!”

Shen Jintai flopped on his bed. What the hell was this? He pinched his thigh to assure himself that this was all real.

—

Shen Jintai went to audition early the next morning. Li Meilan and his assistant Xiao* Tang were already waiting for him at the door. Shen Jintai waved his hand from a distance. “Hi, good morning!”

*When used in front of a name, it refers to little/young, usually used by older people to address people younger than them. Think of it as like Junior Tang. It could also be used to address someone younger than you in an intimate way.

Li Meilan held her arms and glanced at him, then looked at Xiao Tang. “Who is that?”

“I have no idea.”

These days, these little-known actors would act like they were close to each other publicly, but in reality wasn’t really cordial.

Seeing their response was so cold, Shen Jintai took off his sunglasses and greeted them again. “Sister, good morning.”

Li Meilan and Xiao Tang both froze, staring at him for a while.

“Fuck.” Li Meilan stretched out her hand and pinched his chin while moving it around to inspect his face properly.

“Brother Jin?” Xiao Tang said, “I almost didn’t recognize you.”

He hadn’t seen Shen Jintai for a long time since Shen Jintai didn’t have much work. He knew that he was chasing Yan Qiuchi’s ass like an illegitimate rice*, so he didn’t need him.

*Reference to crazy fans who are extreme in their love for their idol and would invade their privacy to the point of stalking and harassing them.

Shen Jintai had lost weight. After dyeing his hair back, it seemed like his entire temperament had changed. The biggest thing was how he was dressed. When Shen Jintai debuted, his clothing was usually ostentatious, and that always garnered a lot of attention. Coupled this with his glamorous and flirtatious makeup and his high-profile personality, it had consistently set off a bloody storm in the entertainment industry.

But now he looked clean from head to toe, as if his youth had returned to him, basking brightly under the sun.

Three people entered the elevator. Li Meilan said, “You are really Niuhulu’s reincarnation. Have you changed sex?”

“Sister, don’t worry! I’m not like the past!”

The audition room they were going to was on the third floor. As the elevator went up one by one, Li Meilan said, “Are you still chasing Yan Qiuchi?”

The elevator made a ding dong noise, signifying they had arrived on the third floor. The elevator door slowly opened, and Shen Jintai’s voice was full of fighting spirit, as if he was a brand-new person. “Who is Yan Qiuchi? My father has never heard of him!”

As soon as he said it, he was startled to see four or five people standing outside the elevator. They were all dressed in black suits with wide shoulders and narrow waists. They had tall lines and two hands in their trouser pockets. There was an aura of abstinence around them, signifying that strangers should not approach them. Hearing what he said, his brows furrowed as his gaze passed through Li Meilan, looking straight ahead at the man before him.

He knew this person. It was the “regardless of whether you’re a man or woman, if you like men, then you want to be fucked by” Yan Qiuchi.

It was only yesterday when Yan Qiuchi threw him off the bed.

Though he looked cold now, as if he was surrounded by icebergs, later on he would become boiling hot. The line on his chin was tough and cold. The bridge of his nose was high. His thin lips looked clean. His facial features exuded heroism and nobility, giving off a feeling of extreme abstinence.

Such a strong abstinence feeling gave rise to a provocative taste. All at once, Shen Jintai understood why the original owner was so fascinated by him.

Yan Qiuchi shouted, “If you have the ability, try and see if you can actually seduce me!”

Such a man made people really want to conquer him. How exhilarating it would be to turn that upstanding face into a look of perversion.

Such ascetic desire was like a vagabond begging for mercy. It was like climbing Mount Everest. It was a pity that the original owner was frozen to death before he even climbed halfway up and couldn’t see the grand scene that he wanted.

At first glance, Shen Jintai was slightly embarrassed when he remembered the cheap words he had used a few days ago as he was chasing after Yan Qiuchi’s ass. All the staff could recognize his distinct voice, forever haunting him by reminding him of his past.

“Father hasn’t heard of him?” Ha ha ha! Has he forgotten the hungry look he had when he shamelessly followed this big boss every day, calling him husband?!

Everyone looked at the elevator contemptuously to see a young man in a white shirt and black pants standing behind Li Meilan.

A faintly handsome black-haired guy with a youthful look and a smile on his lips.

This is…Shen Jintai?

They haven’t seen him for a few days, yet how… How did he become like this?!

The author has something to say:

Shen Jintai: Yan Qiuchi is the Everest that everyone wants to climb, but no one can climb it.

Author: It doesn’t matter if others can’t climb, you will climb.

Chapter 1: You Have to be the Protagonist’s Love Rival!

“How can there be a shameless person like you in this world?” The man’s eyes were enveloped with bitterness. His shirt was torn, revealing teeth marks on his neck that were faintly bleeding. “Even in my next life, let alone touching you, I will never love you!”

After he finished speaking, he barely rolled off the bed and quickly wrapped a blanket around his body. He wiped his hands on the bed sheet in disgust and added, “Because you can’t even match his toe!”

Shen Jintai was dumbfounded. ‘What the hell was going on?’

“Get out of here!”

Shen Jintai’s mind was blank. He quickly put on his pants and grabbed a suit jacket. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the man behind him angrily say, “Wait!”

As he turned around, he was hit with a glitzy thong.

The sun outside was very dazzling. Shen Jintai blocked the sun with his hand and felt a little dizzy. Hearing a horn honking, he quickly retreated to the side of the road and squatted down by a sycamore tree.

What the fuck…

“Ding Dong! Love you, me, and him. Harmony depends on everyone. Your love advisor Xiao Ai is online!”

Shen Jintai frowned.

“Hello dear host! Congratulations on your successful entry into our harmonious love system.”

What the hell?!

“I’m not a ghost. I’m a tangible benefit. It’s detected that your life value has been used up. In other words, you are dead in the real world.”

Shen Jintai: “…”

Wasn’t it his first time being nominated for best actor? Wasn’t he on his way to the awards ceremony?! He vaguely remembered. Was there an accident?

“But don’t be sad, dear. You’re lucky to have the opportunity to be reborn. As long as you complete the task as required, you can be reborn into a new world.”

“…What task?”

“As we all know, in response to the government’s call, various websites have begun to implement the “neck plan”. That is, this new harmonious rule where scenes cannot be described below the neck. This new rule has little effect on the plot but has majorly impacted romance novels. From this, we have carried out a Love Harmonious action plan, urging the transformation of major romance novels into career novels. A harmonious society, you, me, and him, and a better future depends on everyone!”

Shen Jintai said, “…Love harmonious action?”

“Yes, we are members of the Harmonious Love System. It is our basic principle to spread harmony and reward love. Xiao Ai is here to look at your task rewards… Congratulations, dear. The reward for completing your tasks is that you’ll become more beautiful and sexier. The highest level of reward you can get is to be able to live in this new world in the best possible way.”

Wow.

Shen Jintai was moved.

Xiao Ai: “Okay, then Xiao Ai will help you with the first task.”

Xiao Ai: “Can you hear me?”

Xiao Ai: “Alright dear, can I debrief you on your first task?”

Shen Jintai: “Okay.”

“The book you are in is called <Everyone Loves Bai Yueguang¹>. It’s a danmei².”

¹White moonlight. This is a reference to a character from the White Rose written by Eileen Chang, referring to a cherished memory of the first blush of love, pure and unsullied by reality. Basically, the white moonlight can be considered “a first unblemished love”. || I left it in its original Chinese because the white moonlight in the novel is also referred to as Bai Yueguang (he has a different name). Throughout the novel, I’ll be referring to either the person or the actual reference to “White Moonlight” depending on the context.
²Genre of literature and other fictional media originating from China which features romantic relationships between male characters. || What you are reading right now.

Wait a minute. Wasn’t this the sweet and lovable novel he read in his spare time?

“Dear, please listen carefully and don’t interrupt Xiao Ai. According to the original plot, the protagonist of this novel, Yan Qiuchi, after falling in love with Bai Yueguang, will melt from a thousand-year-old popsicle, becoming a raging molten fire. His love, though, becomes so dark and depressing that it could be considered quite shameful.”

This was true. He had hopped on the ship of Yan Qiuchi and Bai Yueguang and can only say that Yan Qiuchi, whose love became so severe it turned into an obsession that left him with endless skin hunger*, eventually led him to become quite perverted.

*Condition where you need biological human touch.

“…” Xiao Ai paused and continued, “Yan Qiuchi’s state undoubtedly does not conform to the new regulations of harmony today, so you need to take away his official position and save him from his childhood love. You must suppress and destroy him so that his sword will be sharpened. Fragrant plum blossoms come from the bitter cold*!”

*Idiom meaning one needs to endure difficult things before getting great results (AKA no pain, no gain).

Very good. This fell in line with the main theme of socialism!

Xiao Ai said, “Your first mission is to take away his white moonlight. The reward for your success in the first mission is that your ass won’t sag.”

“…Isn’t it becoming more beautiful?!”

“The ass, as we all know, is the sexiest part of the body and the most basic tool for seduction. Authoritative votes show that it surpasses: long legs, face, and other parts to become the most attractive part for men. Therefore, it is the most suitable as your first reward. Dear, do you have any questions? If not, Xiao Ai will go offline for the time being.”

“…No.”

“Alright. If you need anything, you can just say hello Xiao Ai, and I’ll come online to serve you. I wish you success in completing your task. Please look forward to your rewards after every completion. Not only will you become more beautiful, but we also guarantee that each reward level will make you scream!”

With a beep, Xiao Ai disappeared.

Shen Jintai held his forehead and stood up from the ground. An uncle walking a dog next to him looked at him like he was a monkey in a zoo. He probably saw him talking to himself and thought he was crazy.

He suddenly felt a little dizzy. His original memory seemed to be gradually disappearing and was replaced by the memory of the Shen Jintai in the novel.

Shen Jintai in the novel was twenty years old and an idol. Two years ago, he fell in love with the prince of the business world, Yan Qiuchi, when he became popular on a talent show and retired for love.

Yan Qiuchi was known for his abstinence. Readers gave him the nickname “Yan Paifang¹“. The author described him as having a male dog’s waist and long legs. Such a clean and ascetic look couldn’t be touched, let alone contaminated, by a cannon fodder².

¹(牌坊 )= Arch. In a sense of a nickname it’s because he gives off an abstinent and ascetic vibe, and arches are usually related to temples where monks reside.
²Term came from the war era where it basically means soldiers are metaphorically food for enemy cannon fire. In the context of novels, basically an unimportant side character who’s easily disposable, and usually their only purpose is to develop the main characters.

The exception, though, was the white moonlight.

Memories of what happened a while ago flashed through him. The male protagonist, Yan Qiuchi, pulled him off the bed and scolded him.

“Even in my next life, let alone touching you, I will never love you!”

“Because you can’t even match his toe!”

Haha!

Shen Jintai walked to his car, preparing to return to his residence. As soon as he got in the car, he saw a huge advertisement on the building next to him with Bai Yueguang. The white moonlight’s name is Bai Qingquan.

The bright moon shines among the pine trees, the clear spring stone is flowing up*. Shen Jintai and Bai Qingquan were exactly two different types.

*Excerpt from the poem “Mountain Dwelling in Autumn” by Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. It’s basically referring to an expression of ideal natural beauty and grace. In this context, it means Bai Qingquan is a natural beauty.

Their names were opposed, and the mentioned people were even more opposed. He and Bai Qingquan weren’t just rivals in love; they had been rivals since their debut.

During a talent show in a summer many years ago, there were two rising stars that came into the entertainment circle. The first was Shen Jintai. The second was Bai Qingquan. On the final night, it was a classic fan battle. Since their debut, the two have been vying for the top spot. Their fans were in the same situation and loved to compare them.

But Bai Qingquan was an official star who dangled in the clouds. The son of divine selection. A small white flower that bloomed from the tepid grass with a “special temperament”. As for what that temperament was, it wasn’t clear. In short, it was “different from others”. Relying on this special temperament, he broke into the entertainment circle, paving the way for the protagonist to fall in love with him. The male protagonist would pinch his waist and press him against the wall to kiss him. His male suitors would fight for him with bloodshed. Even the fans were crazy about him and would bang their heads relentlessly against the wall for him!

The cannon fodder, Shen Jintai, was the complete opposite.

He was a rich, seedy bastard who debuted with money. He was always dressed in fanciful costumes when he was in the spotlight. He debuted under the reputation of a rich second generation who would “return to inherit his inheritance” and was once the top traffic in the entertainment industry. Originally destined for great stardom, he died a lonesome death. He fell in love with Yan Qiuchi, not knowing that Yan Qiuchi was Bai Qingquan’s tyrant fan, and retired because of it.

How cheap! How stupid!

When people touched either “cheap” or “stupid”, it would not end well. Let alone touching one, he touched both! Before he even caught Yan Qiuchi, his family went bankrupt.

Shouldn’t it be time to return to the entertainment industry and restart a career? After all, his fate had changed from “If you don’t become popular, you can return to inherit your inheritance” to “If you don’t become popular, you’re going back to farming”.

No. He was carrying the mission of a cannon fodder. Because his family went bankrupt, he chased Yan Qiuchi even more fiercely, trying all types of tricks to get into his bed, and was kicked down by the protagonist.

When he was reading this novel, he was infuriated by this brain-dead man!

Such a man who had no ambition! Even a cannon fodder needs to have a bit of dignity, okay?!

In his last life, he was also in the entertainment industry. His only hobby in life was acting. Because of his lack of looks, he could only be paired with vases¹ and fresh meat². He was finally nominated for an award but died on the way to the ceremony.

¹People with only beauty and no acting skills. 
²Newbies actors.

What kind of fucking life is this!

He was in the entertainment industry and understood the importance of physical beauty. Now that he had been given this opportunity, he would use it to become more and more beautiful and turn into a showstopper!

He searched for Le Meilan’s, his agent, name on his phone and dialed the number.

“Who are you? I don’t seem to know this number,” Li Meilan said weirdly.

“Shen Jintai.”

“You still know how to call me?!”

Shen Jintai looked at the sunlight that was shining through the luxuriant summer branches and said, “Sister*, I want to come back.”

*[Jiejie] (姐姐) || Not related in this context. It’s a term used to refer to women who are older than you and of higher rank that you are close to or respect.

Doing tasks won’t affect his career. Since he was given a second chance, he wanted to re-enter the entertainment industry and rise to the top.

The other party was silent for a long time. He depended on his agent to accomplish his goal. The original owner was such garbage. Had his agent completely abandoned him?

Shen Jintai was about to express his sincerity again when he heard the other party cry out. “Do you know how many years this sister has been waiting to hear this from you! Woo, woo, woo!”

Shen Jintai sighed and expressed sincerely, “Sister, don’t worry! I died yesterday and now I am Niuhulu* Jintai!”

*Referring to Legend of Zhen Huan, the drama where after suffering a series of events, the main character gains the surname Niuhulu and rises up in power to protect the people she loves. Basically used to describe a character who will change their current life and become stronger. (Thanks Summer for the clarity).

Li Meilan burst into tears and smiled. “You’ve been idle for too long, so you have no current projects. You don’t have any resources, but don’t worry, I’ll help you find them. Even if we can’t get any big projects, there are still smaller activities you can do!”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jintai sighed and looked at the taxi driver who had been silent in front of him. Thinking quickly, he leaned towards the driver and asked. “Sir, do you know me?”

He wanted to check Shen Jintai’s current fame.

The taxi driver turned his head and glanced at him. “I don’t know…”

“Shen Jintai,” he prompted.

“Ah!” the taxi driver exclaimed.

It seems that Shen Jintai’s fame wasn’t too bad. At least a middle-aged uncle recognized his name!

“You are the legendary… The male star who chased after a man and went bankrupt!”

Shen Jintai: “…”

I would like to be with you on the new journey. Thank you all for following this novel.
