Honestly, the only reason it isn't higher is because of ML. He isn't exactly scummy, he's just the sort of person who has too much money he never bothered developing a personality, and it shows in how he pursues MC.

Someone commented that MC is taking advantage of ML, but it's the other way around. ML needs MC to have a child since he is the only one compatible with his genes, in fact, he and his family was fully intending to pay him 1M, take MC's cells, and make him... more>> leave and never approach his children.

By the time that MC learns of the contract, he offers to pay the penalty for cancelling the contract, but for the 1M they initially paid the original body, the payment for the breach is 10B, not to mention that the marriage contract recognizes MC as wife, not as husband, which is not only not technically binding as he is male, but also a deliberate d*ck move from the ML's part before the transmigration.

MC never asked for the back door roles, he even turned them down after learning the whole truth, it's the ML who keeps on pushing investments after investments without the MC's knowledge. ML didn't care for MC until MC rejected him. There are no romantic gestures, ML just throws his money around. He even sucks at communicating because he doesn't try at all. He's the sort of person that makes you think "eat the rich asdhjkl". He is fully expecting MC to fall on his bed for all the money he throws around, when MC could actually still achieve success without having to rely on him at all.

The ML aside, the novel is pretty good. MC is entertaining to read, he's cool and collected, very easy to get along with and face slaps without anyone noticing, not even the side villains lol. His acting journey is also enjoyable to read, his roles are always unique and interesting. I just wish it showed him developing friendships with others because as of c70, he doesn't have any close friends.

I would have continued MTLing, which could have raised the rating, but ML ain't worth the headache, man. <<less

I see a number of reviews not liking the ML for reasons. It's understandable since he's like the personification of an ACTUAL stereotypical domineering CEO. So my advice is if you are quite sensitive about it just skip this.

That said, I felt that way too at the first couple of chapters when the marriage contract with former body owner is still hanging between them. But the real fresh start happened after the divorce. MC wanted an equal relationship and ML saw that followed through it. As a proud man, it's... more>> good that he's made concessions and awkwardly chased someone for the first time. Interesting to see the domineering CEO doing humble things and genuinely enjoys his awkward first love. At least there's character development with the token arrogant ML.

I appreciate that while the story is not smutty, the couple's first time is so spicy, the author did not hold back describing it lol.

I'd say I was really I impressed with how ML found out about mc's real identity all by himself. Among all the transmigration stories I've read this so far had a grand revealing scene, it made one feel how love can literally transcend through time. Travelling for thousands of years to meet your first and last love.

Other than the usual pet peeve (domineering CEO, MC being total, full-on Gary stu) it's a good interstellar/transmigration/showbiz plot. <<less

The MC who was emperor of the silver screen, dies and wakes up to find himself in an advanced era. You see how the protagonist works from the bottom to the top through his charm, diligence, effort, ability and so much more.

The romance between the MC and ML is a wonderful challenge, and you see how they both grow together while facing their shortcomings and the mc's point of view of the ML goes from "get this guy off my case" to "I'll be the husband in this relationship"... more>> to "I'll give an inch, you better not take a mile" to "this is my companion for life". It's a really well written novel, with great plot, with scenes that will make you cry and others laugh.

*I hope this gets fully translated so that everyone may enjoy this gem.
Spoiler

one thing that I was really dissatisfied with, was if it was possible for them to have a child. The era was advanced so that males can have children either through IVF or through some kind of shot that a male can have a womb for three years and then it dissipates. Maybe they'll have one in the future but the novel ends~ (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

I LOVEEEE THISSSS.

I love the future transmigration idea, and the arranged marriage too~

So, our MC (Chu Yu? Or Chu Yan?) is the typical succesful actor who died and then transmigrate to a body from millenium years later with same name and nearly same appearance. He's smart, talented, has crazy gasfield ofc.

... more>> Our ML (He Baishen) is a very succesful CEO (I don't know how big his bussiness is because I don't understand bussiness, but definitely really big) with cold personality outside, but spoiled? Inside. I'm not good in describing personality..

If you've read MCH's Rebirth of Supermodel, I think our MC and ML is like RS's MC and ML. Just our ML is not that possessive?

Oh, about the marriage

Spoiler

Our MC didn't get the full memories from the original CY, so he first didn't know that his original has accepted a marriage arrangement with our ML. At first our ML is reluctant to meet our MC (Because his first impression in our MC is bad, he knows that MC (the original) agreed to the marriage because of money). But he decided to see and then meet our MC later. After that, our ML is interested with our MC. But our MC thinks that our ML is his past golden master lol

Oh, the cause of the marriage is they actually have a high match for something, I don't remember. The higher the match, the higher chance they can have a child. But don't worry, it's not really mpreg because actually our ML is infertile (I guess, mtl). But at the end of the story they let people conduct an experiment so that they can have a child (without mpreg)

[collapse]

I love all their (flirting) interaction~

Spoiler

They like to dance around each other, it's so cute. Our ML is actually our MC's type, but because MC don't what to accept ML unspoken rule? (Forgot the term) so our MC still challenge our ML.

[collapse]

That's the end of my messy review. Sorry for the bad grammar. And enjoy the story! <<less

This novel has a pretty good story. I tend to gravitate towards OP MC novels and this was a tad bit disappointing. The premise is that his acting is miles above everyone else's because the world has regressed due to the introduction of AI scripts. Everyone relies on the AI scripts and thus makes the acting a bit rigid since there is no room for interpretation or imagination. So it starts out great, but eventually ... more>>
Spoiler

he starts to see the value of an AI script (I guess it's just a tool) and the upper level actors are on par with his acting

which isn't bad in it of itself, but I kind of came here for an OP MC <<less

I have to say that it was difficult to read this novel until the end because compared to the bl earth is online, superstar aspiration, classical music and supermodel, this one is just boring.

And there is no difference between the interstellar and the present time (beside the scale of traveling and some otherd minors details). Frankly, the author shouldn't make the effort because it's obviously a failure.

Big disapointement !!! Very boring (I had to force myself) until the end with the MC and ml's twins.

I kinda upset by the relationship between MC & ML. I think MC takes ML for granted. He focus too much on how rich & powerful ML is but didnt appreciate ML's effort to make him happy. Despite ML telling him how he is novice in love, MC never tries to understand why ML chase him like that (giving expensive gift or creating a restaurant full of stars), instead MC feel angry on how ML waste money. They are lover, but as a reader, it's upseting to see only 1... more>> person works hard. ML always have to compromise on MC's decisions because he didnt want MC to get angry.

At this chapter, I must say that I'm dissapointed on MC's character and MC & ML relationship. At least in Ming Yu & Xi Ze relationship, eventhough they love arguing but it more like flirting. But in this story, MC never tell what he wants to ML but always expect ML to do the right thing. MC knew ML helps his career but he never even say thank you. Eventhough, he feels touched but he only keeps it to himself but never show how much he love ML. Poor ML, somehow how to beg MC's love and hope MC in a good mood to at least give him 'sugar'.

I know I'm ranting to much but it is because I love MingYu X XiZe, RongXu X QinChen, and QiMu X MinChen so much. Well, all in all this novel still good to read for once. <<less

Did this get dropped by both groups? I hope someone else will pick it up

This was pretty good, even if I could only read it with MTL. It was a little bit similar to Superstar Aspirations though the setting (future) and ML were different (none of the writers other ML have been a crazy-cute as Qin Cheng; fanboying on the inside while stony faced on the outside). The setting is different and the description of the way this new expanded space is set up is a little irritating. Even though they are no longer just on Earth, instead of humans coming together, there is still China, the US, England, etc., only now it encompasses many, many worlds and there are no alien species, only humans. And of course the Chinese are the best and most successful, hardworking, and best looking.
Spoiler

even in other stories set in the future where there are aliens (always only Zergs for some reason) the human race doesn't unite against a common enemy but are still divided by countries and fighting solo. China seems to have a big hangup about racial purity going on, along with all the nationalism and xenophobia.

[collapse]

There was a few things I don't like or didn't get

Spoiler

not a fan of Mpreg and it wasn't clear how they could make that happen anyways, just that the ML expected him to get pregnant. Maybe it was some tech that wasn't clear in the translation and later he apparently didn't get pregnant but grew them in some meat buns???? MTL is very confusing

[collapse]

and also,

this writer loves to put tragic movies in her HE showbiz novels so you get to read about the actor MC dying/going crazy/ being abandoned in every movie he takes, in every single novel based in the entertainment circle (this, superstar aspirations, there's no god in show business, rebirth of a supermodel)

Over all it was a good read without too much angst and drama, (except within the character roles the actor MC chose to play). The MC and ML are both strong personalities and strong people who become partners and the MC isn't s*upid or naive.

JFC. No lube, just rammed it in there didn'tcha? Wtf is wrong with some proper consensual sex? Always with the dub-con/r*pe and rage/jealousy boner. Why does it always have to be painful for the poor bottom? First times don't HAVE TO BE PAINFUL if the top gave a shit.

Oh, in this case ML is punishing the MC for protecting another character. The ML wanted to punish the guy for assaulting the MC, so I agree with ML's stance in this instance, just not how he went about it, which was to f*ck virg*n MC raw with no prep. Wtf?

Who enjoys reading about torn anuses and squelching blood? I'm not one to kinkshame but goddamn.

It's good, but not something super phenomenal. I like that the MC has spice, he's not willing to sit back and let ML take control and he also won't be a doormat for the other man to walk over. I'm glad he's not afraid to show his temper!!! So refreshing omg, I hate when MLs trample over MCs but it's all easily forgiven. One of the highlights of this story is the clumsy love and the awkward relationship that slowly grows and matures with the characters.

That said, I feel like... more>> ML fell too deep?

Ps I also wanna cry a bit for xiao ling ling!! Not the actor Ling Qi (well maybe him too) but our "wisdom" detective aiii.... tbh I'm a huge fan of how the author has MC play all sorts of crazy tragic characters.

Quick comment, someone said something about xenophobia / Chinese supremacy in this story??? I don't think that's the case at all, it's more like it's centered on Chinese landscape & culture because that's what the author is familiar with. This is interstellar but it's mentioned in the beginning human race has more planets, but it's still limited to human race. At least based on what I've read, it's not looking down on other countries / planets at all. <<less

Cute story about the forward-transmigrated MC, his overbearing president lover, and his achievements in showbiz...

Spoiler

The romance was well written - when the MC found himself being manipulated, he resolutely broke up. And the ML had to work hard to get MC back. The arc where ML found out about MC's past in really old archives was a nice way to introduce honesty and solve the puzzle (for ML) of the MC doing a 180 in his behavior!

[collapse]

The movie/tv show arcs/stories are really nice. Well written story!!

I misread the total no of chapters and now I am like this.

First I will tell why I find this novel deserves only two stars.

1. Author can compose MC's population and talent for full whole chapter and there isn't only one chapter that kinda like that exists. Out of 130 (I just read, I have to skip at least 7 or 8 chapter for non plot improvement nor charactor improvement but fans comment and explanation how MC deserve on his achievement or MC's ranking or something like that)

2. MC... more>> is kinda eccentric and very sensitive. He is a mental but both Author and he himself never notice and ML always have to give in. Tho I said, ML also is not a perfect good person but..... there is a lot more charactor development in him than the MC.

3. I've reached over halfway of this novel but I can't see what this story's final destination is? For MC being No. 1 on Entertainment Industry. Having a happy easy life with ML? Stop. I can't. Even the name of novel should cry out loud for just being used as attention seeks.

4. No fun at all. Both MC, MLs' personality are kinda serious and MC being conscious to everybody doesn't make me enjoy this novel but I also have to worry over that side charactors just as MC. Irony, most of the people MC encounters can't be said bad people and they didn't do anything bad about MC at all.

5. ML is a jerk at first. If it were me in the stead of MC, I will never like back ML. ML just like the good side of MC never been the bad sides and if he wants to fall in love he will too fall in love with original body of MC, not the better version MC. Both his grand dad and ML look down on original body to the bone and they never regard him as a human but just child birth machine. It still makes me disgust when I rethink about that.

6. I really hate the way MC and ML communicate. It's voilence, stubborn and I don't find romantic at all. I wish they would never end up together in that tendency to toxic relationship.

So instead of saying it's worthwhile reading, it's on your own opinion. This story seems kinda light but for overthinker myself, it is being more heavier and heavier as it goes on. If you want to spend time, read before c 100 and drop this. And this will become beautiful story and will be good in your memory. <<less

The interstellar era world background of this story is deserving enough for 5 stars 🤩.

There are many innovative ideas, you can see that there is an progress in every aspect in the society. And all of the details are not for the sake of convenience.

Actually, when I first read the synopsis, my expectations are low, I thought that instead of human beings who are acting, it were the robots or AI who were acting. But it was actually AI scripts instead of robot actors *laughs*.

And I think AI scripts is... more>> pretty reasonable.

I'm very appreciative towards the fact that the society did not went backwards.

And also I love the attitude of MC towards his work, personal life, and sexuality. For me, the writing style here is better than Superstar Aspiration, because it has less Gary Sue, or is it just that I am used in Gary Sue MC's? Haha.

Anyway, I love the open-mindness of the people in the story. Well the majority of the society. :)

And the last for right now is that, I'm happy that the first Cannon Fodder, who is sunamed Li or whatever, the rich second generation male lead who was kicked out of the crew, he is not that s*upid, I mean it's not very annoying. Just pretty chill.

...

GUYS!!!

I sincerly enjoy this story. I love thestory's setting, I love the unique ideas, I love MC's character, I love ML's character, I love the relationship between them, I love the story's facing, I love the movies he acted, I love the society, they are open to all genders, I love the wholeness of the story, MC isn't the only one who's almost perfect in this world, there is brief rivarly between the top superstars which I appreciate, I love MC's mentality, and the relationship between them, I think all ML's action when he first appeared are logical and I find nothing unsuitable or wrong about it. Both of them are arrogant, I love how true are true to each other, I love how they progress, I love their arrogance, their dominance, their vulnerability for each other. Moreover, this is the only novel that I truly like the side cps. They get the 'right' amiunt of screen time which made me not irritable and I even want for more.

Chu Yan and He Baoshen are my favorite couple.

And I also their are many things that I learn from each movies. And I really appreciate that. Muahh.

Again Chu Yan and He Baoshen, although I may forget your names with the passage of time, but I cannot forget the form and meaning of love that you gave me. If I ever want to have a partner l, I would make sure that I am successful enough, have my own pride and confidence, and also my partner should have too, so both of us will be mature and cherish each other very well, and also be truest to each other.

The showbiz part of this novel is fine, it's general and cliche, nothing special to it, but it's not the worst i've seen. The interstellar part, ehh, seems like the author only uses it as a simple setting, there's not much 'amazing' world building. It gets a pass.

On the other hand, the whole romance is a f*cking train wreck. A weird ML? Check. Weird dub-con? You got it. Confusing and really odd relationship development? Yep. Still there. There are, quite honestly, parts that I actually liked a lot. The ML... more>> doesn't go crazy over every single kissing scene, he doesn't (forcibly) stop the MC to not play in Romance films, he has parts where he isn't this stale-human-shaped-CEO-robot made purely for the purpose of being an ML, but some parts he just f*cking s**ked.

He's your typical domineering CEO (I'm not kidding, the novel actually uses the word 霸道 to describe the ML a lot) with a personality equal to a dead starfish. He doesnt need consent because of course! Who needs consent when you're a Domineering CEO™? The relationship development just seems lousily written to me. It feels unnatural, considering the MC's personality and reaction to ML's actions. Its like the author wrote the MC struggling against the ML only as a kink, because he's saying 'No' then in the next chapter he casually says he's attracted to the ML. To his looks? Because the MC at the same time also mentioned disliking the ML ('s actions, to be precise). I really don't recommend this. I've read up to c111, and I'm dropping this. Perhaps i'll pick this up someday just to see how the ending will turn out.

Reading Notes after I read the ML doing weird shit:
Spoiler

What the f*ck? The ML sucks ass. First forcibly kissing the MC, then doing it (the first time) while MC tells him to stop without any prep and putting it straight in. What the hell? Stop means stop dude. It doesn't mean you can ignore hurting your lover if you tell your partner to 'stop being childish (别闹) ' afterwards. Being angry or jealous isn't an excuse to mistreat your partner and cause them pain (unless you're both into bd*m or something). He pisses me off. I want to drop this.

Common BL trope - capable MC and overbearing and annoying president, flaunting his money. This might be a good story if not for the ML and I agree with saffari. The only thing I like in this is the MC. ML looks like a typical rich scum protagonist. At first he agreed with his grandpa to have his own children given that specific person must be his wife. He wanted to have a child with a proper wife. And this is the only things that is good about the ML.... more>> I don't want to waste my time to his immaturity by flaunting his rich. There are other ways to get someone, ie by showing sincerity and not money. Although he is a tyrant (rich) president, he can adjust his personality if he really wanted to pursue the MC <<less

You're missing out in a lot of things if you're not going to rrad this. I know that the chapters translated are few to make you want to mtl it but I'm telling you it was all worth it

The MC and ML didn't fall in love immediately and started a slow pace romance which makes it even better because it makes them more dimensional.

There are no third parties, there are jo kidnapping or villains that makes you want to choke them. It is a fluffy bl that is so heartwarming.

There's... more>> no revenge revenge when someone makes the MC pissed off. He dealt with it professionaly

Spoiler

he baishen (the ml) found out that chu yan (mc) soul's is from like centuries ago, he knows the real chu yan which made him fall ij love deeper. I like stories like this where they unveil the secrets of the MC for the ML to know, it feels so refreshing

I managed to finish this in two days, it's not that long even with 200 chapters so I was okay with it.

There's not too much drama going on, except in the earlier chapters. This is what I like, why bother having small villains when they will get face slap asap, you might aswell not have them all. The novel is heavily focusing on MC's career in this new world. There's a raking system and we can see how he climb up step by step. MC having been through what he... more>> had in the past is more mature and knows how handle every situation. He's has pride and wouldn't suffer for nothing. ML is also the same, ML was much more forceful in his approaches but eventually they manage to reach a balance ground and I like the way they talk it out and change together. The relationship between them is very healthy and cute. Went from hunter and his prey to his little master and his husky hehe.

I know ML would look like a douchebag in the beginning but there's a turning point for ML, after that everything will be better trust me endure it.

There's alot of movies in the novel, I think I would take a break from entertainment related novels, this has reach it's peak. So many good dramas and film introductions, so many actors and film directors. I knew everything that I needed to know and couldn't ask for more. There's some good films that even bring tears and emotions, it's feel worth it to read them.

The fans in this new era is amazing, I like how they interact on Chinese weibo. I also like rotten egg and flower system which I think should be replicated in real life. I really want to throw rotten eggs in people's spaces ha.

The whole novel felt a journey, there was a start and a finish. You go from point A to point B, there's directions and follows ups, you feel engaging in this career of how MC get to the top. It felt very fulfilling. This is a good novel for those who likes the Entertainment industry. <<less

Hope someone picks this up again! Classic entertainment transmigration plot except set thousands of years in the future. MC actually has self-respect and doesn't roll over just because he is attracted to ML. Similarly, ML is a total d*ck in the beginning but actually compromises when he falls in love! Don't be too afraid of the mpreg tag - it ends up being invitro fertilization, so no pregnant dudes. And Chu Yan is understandably repulsed by the "forced marriage and giving me 2 children" contract - I'm really glad the... more>> author didn't go there. My favorite part are the film/TV plots. Author is really good at writing tragic plots for Chu Yan to act! <<less

Don't dare to give star yet.

The story seems interesting so far.

I don't see anything wrong with what MC and ML doing so far. But MC misunderstood ML because he apparently doesn't know that he already marry. And married to ML....

Yeah, I do wonder how this is going...

The main story and couple are OK, but the secondary couple and side story really make this worth a read.

The main couple are a typical (?) black-bellied rich CEO and a reborn superstar. They do have a few aspects that make them stand out even among such a common cliché.

... more>>
Spoiler

For one, the MC is not some weak white lotus. He’s very independent. The ML wants to provide for the MC, but the MC does not appreciate this at all. He wants to build up his career with his own power until the two can be truly equal in their relationship. Over time he softens and learns to accept the ML for who he is, wealthy or not.

For another, they have a few conflicts not caused by a third-party. Most of these stories have some kind of over-arching villain causing the misunderstandings. This story takes a more realistic approach: the mistakes are made by and owned up to by the characters themselves. For example, the couple’s largest transgression is probably the first time they have s*x. The MC pushed the ML too far and they ended up starting in a completely rough manner to the point that the MC gets injured. The ML backs off when he realizes he has gone too far and the rest of the night proceeds smoothly and pleasurably for them both. They talk about the mistakes both of them made the next morning, as well as how they should handle disagreements in the future.

[collapse]

The story progresses rather smoothly and you can tell the author put effort into planning the entire storyline. The main drawback to this story has to do with the unrealistic science advancements. You have to accept that the technology is here for the sake of the plot rather than for any realistic world building. The ML’s immense wealth requires a similar thought process. The author still makes up for these gaps by later exploring the history of the world via literary films making it rather acceptable.

The side CP is like a sweet and less dramatic version of Kill the Lights. A top movie film emperor (gong) takes the initiative to find a near-p*rnographic literary film while relatively good younger actor (shou) is looking for an acting challenge and happens to sign to the same movie. The ML and MC of the extra have both watched each other’s acting, unbeknownst to the other. ML’s attitude towards the MC is rather ambiguous, but it’s certain that he has a positive impression (lit. Calls him “interesting” twice, implied in the main story and directly in the extra). The MC is a total closet fan of the ML, but insists it’s his mother who is the fan. This causes their first (?) direct meeting to be the ML overbearing the MC dissing him, so the ML teases him until he runs away. It’s cute and I’m a little sad their story is so short. Luckily the main story is littered with little hints at the budding relationship, such as an old Weibo post by the MC stating that his type is taller than him and older than him. This combined with other clues make it highly probable that watching the ML’s show is what caused him to realize his own s*xual orientation. Sadly, we never find out much about the rather reticent Emperor Gu and how long he has been following the MC. <<less
