Yatong began to have all kinds of appearances in Television media and entertainment magazines.
It said things like: Shan Yatong’s voice wasn’t that great, and he was only able to sign a contract to become an artist through shady means. Some even dug up his bad deeds of fighting in the orphanage.
Some reports even said that Shan Yatong was going around sucking up to high-level executives and famous artists. He himself didn’t have much skill at all.
Some people even said that he was gay with Luo Yanqian, and there were even photos of the two people in a car as evidence. Some media speculate that the relationship between Shan Yatong and Xiao Qishen was inappropriate, otherwise how else could Shan Yatong participate in such a big movie?
For a while, there was an overwhelming flood of media reports about Shan Yatong. Some news reports were written vividly, as if the reporters were at the scene and saw it with their own eyes.
On the desk, there were several magazines neatly organized. Among them, all of which had something about Shan Yatong.
Pa. The man in the suit threw the magazine on the table, and said with a straight face, “From today onwards, you will be in charge of Shan Yatong. When this matter is settled, we will hold a sign meeting for him.”
The middle-aged man standing by his desk couldn’t believe it. “Does Mr. Tang mean to protect him?”
Tang Ruanqing’s hands were crossed, and his black hair tied back. With his handsome appearance, he was unconventionally sexy. “I believe in my vision.”
The middle-aged man bowed his head. “I understand.”
“As long as you understand. You go and take care of it.” Tang Ruanqing flipped another magazine on the table open, showing a blurry photo of two men kissing. He smiled coldly. Entertainment reports always did these senseless things, but how else could you hype up scandals without them? It was just that when they went too far, it was annoying.
Closing the office door, the middle-aged man wondered what kind of new talent would be treated with such high regard by Tang Ruanqing?
Shan Yatong sat in a chair reading his script. Someone sat down in front of him. Looking up, he realized it was the film’s female lead, Lin Yuxin.
Lin Yuxin had made her debut several years ago. She was already considered to be a significant person in the industry, and had a good reputation in the media. Although she was not an extremely beautiful actress, she had a unique charm that many young artists who depended on their faces could not compare to.
“Reading the script?” Lin Yuxin very casually asked. She had not conversed with this small artist before. The scenes with the two of them were arranged behind the scenes, but from the past few days of observation, the teenager was a promising newcomer.
“Yuxin-jie,” Shan Yatong immediately stood up. But he was boldy pushed back down by her. “I said, don’t be so fussy. I was just asking a question, are you going to stand up and give me a report for that?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Shan Yatong knew Lin Yuxin as early as four years ago, so he no longer insisted on it. He put aside the script and replied with a shy smile, “Well, I’m a newcomer and I need to learn a lot.”

“I don’t know if you are mature or childish.” Lin Yuxin took a drag from her cigarette, gazing at the puff of smoke. “In this circle there are very few artists who do not smoke. Except for maybe one person.” She said nostalgically.
Shan Yatong smiled slightly. He looked at Lin Yuxin. “Do all artists smoke? I haven’t seen this much, but… the way Yuxin-jie smokes is beautiful.”
Lin Yuxin chuckled. The words of the teenager in front of her more or less pleased her. She flicked her cigarette ash. “You’ve just seen too little.”
She carefully examined the teenager’s appearance. In this industry, though he could be considered middle to upper tier, he wouldn’t be able to gain popularity with his face alone. However, the teengear seemed to have a talent for acting. With luck, maybe the teenager could be very popular. Except… how much luck could one have?
“I hear you’re an artist in our company now?” Lin Yuxin asked suddenly.
Shan Yatong nodded. For whatever reason why Lin Yuxin cared about these things, he did not want to think about.
“Who’s your agent?” Lin Yuxin had a good feeling about the teenager. It was rare for her to ask more than a few questions.
Shan Yatong shook his head. “The company hasn’t arranged it for me yet.” He thought for a moment. “Maybe it will have to wait a while before it can be arranged.”
Lin Yuxin frowned as she snuffed out the smoke in her hand. But she comforted the teenager. “Don’t worry, the company will arrange for it as soon as possible.” She began to wonder if the upper executives of the company had forgotten about the teenager. If that were the case, the teenager would be left behind.
“Yuxin-jie,” Xiao Qishen stepped gracefully to the two, and bowed. “Has Yuxin-jie taken a fancy to our Yatong?”
Lin Yuxin glanced at Xiao Qishen. “You damn kid. Am I, your sister, really such a person?” This is simply love and concern for my younger brother, concern! Do you understand?”
Based on the way the two got along, you could tell the relationship between the two was pretty good. Shan Yatong laughed along on the side, as if he could not tell they were teasing him.
“You silly boy, the one he’s laughing at is us. What are you laughing at?” Lin Yuxin tapped Shan Yatong’s head. In a dignified manner, she said, “This time you should refute him. Do you understand what I mean by refute?!”
Xiao Qishen saw Shan Yatong smiling a little helplessly. He could tell Shan Yatong was intimidated by Lin Yuxin’s true face. His assistant brought him a chair, and he did not hesitate to sit down. “Yuxin-jie, are you trying to scare your little brother?” Miss Yuxin, who is so cold and noble on-screen, is unexpectedly like this. How do you expect Yatong to react?”
“Tch.” Lin Yuxin sneered, ignoring Xiao Qishen’s scoff, and looked at Shan Yatong. “How’s your thing going?” She gave Xiao Qishen an intentional look. “This incident involved that little kid and Luo Yanqian. I’m afraid it’s not that easy to handle.”
Xiao Qishen raised an eyebrow. He didn’t realize how anxious the other person was about it. He asked, with interest, “Do you have any ideas, Yatong?”
Shan Yatong raised his head and looked into Xiao Qishen’s smiling eyes. But his words were left unspoken as they were interrupted.
“Yuxin, Qishen, the next scene is between you two. Get ready.” The deputy director walked up to the three people. “It may rain tonight. Let’s shoot your scene first and shoot the rain scene tonight.”
Xiao Qishen carefully watched Shan Yatong’s blank face, then stood up. “Okay. Got it.”
The two went to the dressing room for makeup. Along the way, Lin Yuxin lowered her voice and asked, “You seem to be exceptionally concerned about this teenager?”
Xiao Qishen straightened his costume’s collar. “You seem to be interested in him too.” Having said that, he also took a look at Lin Yuxin.
“I’m not like you.” The two stopped in front of the dressing room. “In your heart, you understand yourself best right?” With that, Lin Yuxin went into the dressing room, flipping her hair proudly as she left Xiao Qishen behind.
Xiao Qishen smiled, raising an eyebrow. He was clearly used to such behavior from Lin Yuxin.
He was just particularly interested in this artist. What was wrong with that?
Shan Yatong watched the staff on set move props around. He expressionlessly flipped through the script in his hand.
Lin Yuxin was a younger colleague of his original self. At the time, she was not as popular, but she had the same special temperament. Unexpectedly, four years later, she already established her status in the circle.
After dying and waking up four years later, he still liked this flashy circle. His love for acting, the struggles of living this life, these kinds of hobbies still have not changed.
It’s just that his opponent’s approach was so low-grade this time that he felt there would be no sense of accomplishment even if he won.
“Yatong.” Yang Jun leaned over from the side, speaking into his ear. “It seems like they’re ready to arrange an agent for you.”
“Do you know who it is?” Shan Yatong wondered.
“It’s not clear yet, but I heard that the company attaches great importance to this gossip affair.” Yang Jun did not understand. Shan Yatong did not have much status in this industry, and yet Sky Crown was willing to make efforts to protect him. Even if Shan Yatong had been in this circle for some time, Yang Jun still found it difficult to comprehend.
Shan Yatong also did not think that Sky Crown would make such a decision. He rubbed his forehead, “I understand.” It was completely contrary to his expectations, that Sky Crown would be willing to shell out this much money. Just that Tang Ruanqing would be willing to spend 20 million just to convince him to be poached away, seemed like something so impossible.
“And…” Yang Jun said hesitantly. He looked a little embarrassed.
“Well?” Shan Yatong frowned. “Is there anything else?”
“Just now Xia Xichuan called, and said that Luo Yanqian would be coming to visit the set tonight.” Yang Jun is more and more confused with these artists. With this situation, shouldn’t Luo Yanqian be avoiding him? Why was he trying to make the gossip worse?
Shan Yatong’s eyebrows furrowed even more. “You mean tonight?”
Yang Jun nodded stiffly at Shan Yatong’s unhappy expression.
“You should call Xia Xichuan and ask him how feverishly ill Luo Yanqian was when he said this.” Shan Yatong stood up, and turned to head back to the lounge.
Yang Jun stared blankly at the back of Shan Yatong. “But he’s already on his way.”
Why couldn’t he finish listening to him?
Yang Jun could already imagine how ‘innocent and harmless’ the smile on Shan Yatong’s face will be tonight. He shivered, and suddenly felt sympathetic for the person currently on his way.
It’s a pity Shan Yatong did not hear Yang Jun say this. Someone who was out of his mind had already set out with a fever in his head.

Kyou: In case anyone was wondering, Shan Yatong doesn’t mean that Luo Yanqian actually has a fever, but is essentially saying that “wow he must be so crazy as if he has a fever for doing something so incredibly stupid”. Yeah. ¯\_( ´ ヮ ´ )_/¯
Beizhaan: lol it must be hard, being yanqian’s assistant… also, another love interest has appeared!!! (⊙_⊙)
The next chapter is a flashback from one of our love interests’ perspective!
Waaah! Thank you for the chapter!
thank you for the chapter~(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
Me: So many ship appeared but who will I choose?~
Then the next moment: Nahhh nevermind…..I’m just gonna wait for a “luxury ship” to appeared maybe there’s one!~
Thanks for the chapter<3
So many love interests o.o and they all have a connection to his past self too!
Thanks for the chapter <3
Thanks for the chapter! 💕
How many love interests are there?
Thanks for the chapter~
GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!!
with that, the trio is complete~
not that I mind if more characters get sucked up by MC’s black hole
I’m glad all the main love interests got introduced early on. The readers can choose one and stick with it for an equal amount of time, instead of choosing one that seems likely, but another character is added in the middle of the story and his characteristics (aka clichè personality) are more likely to be ML
my bet is on rich CEO because he seems: older than MC, more powerful than most, cold personality, famous but nobody would mess with him.
Luo Yanqin has a really low chance on being Ml just because he’s young (I cry)
SX chances are bad too, he was introduced too early and there wasn’t any mystery to his character (but author can add more background to him)
I’m betting on CEO anyways, but if I am to be sincere, I’m a multishipper and wouldn’t mind that a OVNI kidnapped the three of them and mixed them for a ML XD
thank you for the chapter!
T
Finally the 3rd suspected ML appears. I’m not sure who I like so far
Why do I think CEO Tang is our male lead
