Reborn: Who Still Chases Top Stars?

In a parallel 2024, the domestic entertainment industry is dominated by traffic, with capital controlling the scene and watered-down data celebrities monopolizing top resources, leaving talented newcomers with no chance. Male lead Shen Yan, in his past life, desperately marketed his persona, fought for resources, and faked his status to become a top star. He was eventually betrayed by his agent, branded with accusations of being arrogant, plagiarizing, and interfering in other actors' scenes, leading to a complete ban and his tragic death in a rainy night at a rental apartment. Upon waking, he is reborn at age 22—the very day he signed with a small agency and participated in the audition for an S-level ancient costume drama. This time, having seen through the vanity and emptiness of the entertainment circle, he simply wants to live a Buddhist-style laid-back life and settle for a base salary.
