001 transforms into a giant bird, its golden tail feathers gleaming: [Congratulations, host, on completing another mission! Host Chuzhuo is truly amazing!]

After the celebration, 001 shrank and landed on his shoulder: [Host, the Heavenly Dao bestowed a gift in the last world, so we have a lucky buff in the next world!]

Chu Zhuo glanced sideways: [001 is also a small stroke of luck.]

001 said, both happy and sobbing, "[001 will follow you to the death.]"

Chu Zhu chuckled and asked, "What's his name?"

"I thought the host had forgotten," 001 pouted. [Yu Suili.]

Chu Zhuo conjured paper and pen, wrote the three characters "Yu Sui Li", and hung the paper on the hook. The paper in front of him had the three characters "Yan Ji Heng" written on it.

It seems like something's still missing. Chu Zhuo's mind raced: [What about the other small worlds? What are their names?]

Now that things have come to this, 001, in its emotionless robot form, announces: "[Sheng Congye, He Yanchuan, Lu Tingzhou.]"

Chu Zhuo added these names.

Looking at the wall full of names, 001 wasn't so angry anymore. She flapped her little wings and flew up, saying, "Host, let's go find your sixth husband. These are all in the past."

Chuzhuo: [……]

001, that silly bird, hasn't figured it out yet.

*

Upon landing in this new world, his eyelids felt heavy, as if a thick brick was pressing down on them. He felt as if he were being carried on a stretcher, with a strange tension and fear lingering in his body.

Chu Zhuo thought to himself: 【001?】

001 was nowhere to be seen, but a voice came through: [Host, please wait a moment. 001 is nearby, but it's not advisable for them to show themselves now. I'll transfer the client's memories and timeline to you first.]

This is a modern microcosm set against the backdrop of the entertainment industry.

The commissioner started his career as a child star. Due to his vivid acting skills and great talent, many directors loved to use him. He has played many roles since he was a child.

The male lead's childhood, the son of the male and female leads, the villainous little guy who turns evil, and various other distinctive minor characters come to him as he grows up, accumulating rich acting experience.

When he turned eighteen, the company arranged for him to be an observer on a dating reality show.

Because of his lack of dating experience, he frequently provided laughs on the show. A male guest named Deng Haoran showed interest in different female guests, and he bluntly called him a "sea king". He appeared to be a gentleman with proper manners, but in reality, he was casting a wide net.

But no one knew that Deng Haoran was a hidden rich second generation. He created a persona of being a womanizer who didn't get attached to anyone. He originally wanted to debut through a dating reality show, but the client's words ruined all the publicity he had prepared in advance.

Holding a grudge, Deng Haoran discovered that the client had claustrophobia. During the client's audition for a TV series, he locked the client in a dark and cramped room, causing the client to faint and miss the audition.

The client heard that the director hadn't found a suitable actor, and that he genuinely liked the role. Over the years, he hadn't had a proper leading role, always playing childhood, teenage, or son roles for other actors. So he explained the reasons to the director and asked for another chance.

The director valued his experience and acting skills and gave him another chance to audition.

The narrow-minded Deng Haoran seized the opportunity to hire online trolls and publish smear articles, claiming that the client was arrogant and late for the audition.

He got the role without even passing the audition; he must have had an affair with the director of the production team.

Attached is a photo of him meeting the director alone, saying that he got his audition by sleeping with the director.

Public opinion escalated rapidly, and the uproar was so huge that it was obvious to everyone that someone was manipulating things behind the scenes. But the investors in the production team didn't care about any of that; all they wanted was to make a fortune and make the show a huge hit. They pressured the director to replace the actors, hoping to tarnish the reputations of the clients.

Left with no other choice, the director replaced the commissioning agent.

The client never expected things to develop this way and didn't say anything after being replaced.

At the time, he was unaware of who was behind it all, and his subsequent auditions for other roles were all disrupted.

Unable to uncover any value, the company stopped lobbying for him.

The company's abandonment gave Deng Haoran more room to maneuver, allowing him to arrange for someone to leak information about the client's image collapsing, claiming that the client was not a prince born for acting at all, but rather that the company had created this persona for him.

He himself was a morally deficient orphan abandoned by his parents. He was signed by an agency because he was short of money, which is how he started acting.

There is no such thing as a born actor; some people are driven by ambition from a young age and deceive the public's feelings.

At that time, the client was almost universally hated online. Anyone who spoke up for him would be attacked by trolls and online trolls who would insult their entire family.

Even though his background was exposed and his "mommy fans" felt even more sorry for him, their affection was overshadowed by capital. The internet was full of posts saying that he had a fake persona to deceive fans, that he had lost his charm, and that's why directors were unwilling to use him.

Not long after, during his birthday live stream, when fans asked him what his wish was, Deng Haoran wished that he would not see any people he disliked this year.

Deng Haoran's illegitimate child sneaks into the client's residence and puts razor blades and dead rats at his door... The client, an orphan who entered society at a young age, has experienced far more than this and is not afraid.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, the stalker became anxious. During this time, Deng Haoran sent her a private message, crying and telling her that he had been kindly taking care of the group of women in the previous dating show, but he was smeared by the client, and he was very sad.

In a fit of rage, the man broke into the client's home with a knife and stabbed the client.

The client had just returned from the orphanage and was exhausted after a long day. He was too weak to react and died from excessive blood loss.

Deng Haoran guided and manipulated public opinion throughout the process, claiming that the fan was a hater of the client, and then disappeared without a trace.

As for the timeline, it has little to do with the client; the protagonist takes over the role that the client replaced.

The TV series is adapted from a popular male-oriented online novel, which originally had no romantic pairing.

The new screenwriter believed that to cater to the market, romance was still the mainstream theme. He drastically altered the plot, adding a romantic subplot for the male lead, which led to countless people mocking the show after it aired. The male lead was also ridiculed for a long time.

The agency entrusted the protagonist with this "mess" because they were interested in the traffic behind the big IP. Who knew that the screenwriter would make such a brilliant mistake, and in the end it really became a mess.

The male lead is a renowned movie star. He received help from the female lead when they were young and has feelings for her. He lowers his status and films a web series with the same-sex theme with her.

The two fell in love while filming the drama, which became a huge hit after its broadcast, and their on-screen couple fans sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

The protagonist's reputation improved, and although there were some minor setbacks in his career later on, the overall impact was not significant. After he and the male lead officially announced their relationship, the CP fans, who were already obsessed with shipping them, were able to make their relationship a reality without much hindrance.

Seeing this, Deng Haoran invested his own money to star in a film with a gay theme, which resulted in him being criticized by netizens as being greasy.

Perhaps he really wasn't suited for the entertainment industry. Deng Haoran completely lost interest in it and went home to take over the family company.

Years ago, the protagonist also thought about the client, feeling that the client had a bright future and it was not worth ruining his own career.

However, he couldn't overcome the power of capital, and his agency silenced him. Afterward, he focused on his career, and the fleeting thought faded away.

So now he's on his way to the hospital after a claustrophobic episode?

001's explanation followed immediately: [Host, you should get some sleep. The original owner suffered from claustrophobia. We'll gradually adapt to this body. After this episode, we won't be affected anymore.]

Chu Zhuo then completely relaxed his body and fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was pitch black outside. A woman in her thirties was lying next to the hospital bed.

Xiong Man, the client's agent.

Chu Zhuo moved his arm, startling Xiong Man, who was not sound asleep. Looking at him worriedly, she asked, "You're awake. Do you feel nauseous? Is your chest tight? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"I'm not feeling unwell, I feel much better after a nap," Chu Zhuo said warmly. "How long have you been here, Sister Man? My shoulders are sore from sleeping on my stomach, there's a bed next to me."

"Not long after, less than half an hour later, I heard you were in trouble, and I was scared out of my wits." Xiong Man adopted a menacing tone, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "What were you doing in a place like that? Who framed you?"

As expected of an agent, she has a sharp eye. Chu Zhuo spat out the scumbag's name: "Deng Haoran."

Xiong Man racked her brains for a moment, but couldn't place the face: "Who?"
