Fan Xiaoqi said to Li Kun, "President Li, why don't you just blacklist Lin Wan directly instead of letting her participate in variety shows?"
Li Kun exhaled a puff of smoke. "I'm going to squeeze every last drop of value out of her. Don't worry, now that you've slept with me, you're the top female star in Xingyu Entertainment. Let her know what happens if she doesn't obey me."
Gu Qingfeng looked at the entertainment headlines: "Former diva suspected of being sidelined" and "Lin Wan appears on a variety show with no popularity".
Zhu Xiaomei looked at the online comments with anger. "It must have been Fan Xiaoqi who did it. Sister Wanwan, I knew she wasn't a good person. You used to help her so much."
Lin Wan seemed resigned yet unwilling, saying, "Alright, alright, Xiao Zhu, get ready, we're going to work."
"Father, I want to resign! What? If I resign again, you'll have to pass the throne to me? Don't be ridiculous, I'm still young! I won't resign, okay?"
"Qingque, how have you been to your brother? Do you want to be the crown prince? It's free, hey... don't go, don't go, I'll give you money, okay? The price is negotiable!"
"Child, do you want some Wangzai? If you were the crown prince, you could have as much Wangzai as you wanted, how about that? What's a crown prince? You can't eat or not eat? You little brat, do you want to stop having snacks?"
Li Chengqian was speechless. He just wanted to be a nobody who could live a carefree life and do nothing!
But with his strength, he couldn't allow it!
As the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, while others were focused on intrigue and power struggles, always ready to launch an attack, he was constantly thinking about resigning.
While others feared being exiled to the frontier from Chang'an, he tried every possible way to escape the city.
He did everything from writing novels and running brothels to establishing schools, defeating the Tartars, promoting national prestige, and protecting the country—anything that had nothing to do with the Crown Prince.
What? You want me to oversee the country? You're dreaming! I won't do it!
He recklessly courts death, yet remains alive and well; he resigns every day, but his position remains secure!
But what can we do about it...?
He could only look up to the sky and sigh, "Who can save me? I really don't want to be the crown prince!"
The pen was his gun, Hollywood his firing range. He vowed to pierce the prejudices of the era with ink and rewrite the rules of the game with paper. It was either become a godfather or lose everything. Years later, in an interview, the globally renowned Li Kai, feigning profundity, said, "The source of art is often poverty. My initial motivation for writing *The Godfather* was very pure—to pay back the $40,000 my father owed." The reporter chimed in with a smile, "After that, you wrote *Jaws*, *Jurassic Park*, *The Shining*, *The Shawshank Redemption*, *A Song of Ice and Fire*, *Harry Potter*, *Twilight*, *The Da Vinci Code*, *Fifty Shades of Grey*…were they all because of…?" "That's right, it was still because of money!" Li Kai slapped his thigh, his expression as sincere as if stating a universal truth, "Unstable…"
Nothing is unsolvable through diplomatic dialogue; if it is, then prepare for war! — Erik Adrian, First President of the United States of Germany. (Industrial Hegemony Germany Book Club: 323279889)
The protagonist, Lin Yan, is a modern-day engineering PhD proficient in mechanical engineering, materials science, and social management, as well as a survivalist. He transmigrates into the body of a useless, exiled noble young master in another world. His cheat ability isn't combat magic, but rather near-absolute "logical modeling" and "material analysis" abilities, allowing him to quickly understand and optimize the technology of this world.
This is an alternate world where magic (elemental power) and martial arts coexist, but the social structure, production technology, and ideology are relatively backward. Magic and martial arts are toys for the privileged class, while the common people live in poverty.
The protagonist does not pursue the ultimate in personal martial arts prowess, but instead uses modern knowledge to launch a sweeping "industrial revolution" and "social transformation" from scratch. He uses the power of technology, systems, and ideas to fight against the corrupt aristocracy, the mysterious magician class, and the powerful martial arts sects, ultimately reshaping the entire world order.
