The Playboy of Chinese Entertainment: Praised by Female Stars for My Deep Affection

Combining elements of viral fame, a charismatic playboy persona, and relentless romantic conquests, this story follows Shen Lang, who is reborn back to 2016. With Douyin (TikTok) just launching, his initial ambition is modest: to ride the wave of short-video popularity and become a top-tier livestream e-commerce host. However, as his fanbase explodes, he inadvertently stumbles into the entertainment industry, where he finds unexpected and soaring success. He quickly eclipses established idols and major stars, rendering the era's most famous names insignificant in comparison. When questioned by reporters about his greatest strengths and weaknesses, Shen Lang offers a paradoxical answer: "Fickleness and deep affection." Unfazed by concerns over scandalous rumors, his fans remain fiercely loyal, joking that since he already stands amidst the ruins of his reputation, there is no further room for collapse. Despite having rumored relationships with dozens of popular actresses, none have ever spoken ill of him; instead, they praise him in media interviews. Shen Lang attributes this to his sincerity, though readers are warned that the protagonist is unapologetically flawed and morally ambiguous.
