He’s met with the opportunity to appear in a movie by a famous director.

Moreover, the movie had cast national actor Yoon Jooho as the main character.

He only drinks water that costs 400,000 won. He changes managers as if nothing.

ㅡTop actor Yoon Jooho, who is followed by numerous rumors.

Will those rumors really be true?

Exiting his “secret fan” mode after years,

Song Hyunsoo revealed that he is a fan right in front of Yoon Jooho.

However, coexistence with the prince, who has lived his entire life as a top star, is not expected to be easy.

“Senior, I am truly sorry. I’ll pay to get it cleaned.”

“It’s fine.”

“The coat looks really expensive…”

“I said that it’s okay, junior. If it had been red wine, I would have killed… I would have been a little angry, though.”

Senior, what you were going to say just now was maybe ‘I would have killed you’…

Will Song Hyunsoo continue to be a fan of Yoon Jooho?

Will he turn into an anti-fan?

Su Shiyi transmigrated into a novel, becoming a pitiful side character in a sweet, and wealthy family romance.... more>>

According to the original plot, this "real young lady," who was switched at birth, would be jealous of the "fake young lady" for receiving the male lead's affection. She would constantly try to sabotage her, only to end up humiliated and living a tragic life.

System: Hello, welcome to the Little Pitiful Self-Rescue System 001. As long as you complete the tasks, you can reverse your fate, become the new protagonist, and rise to the peak of life!

Little Pitiful Su Shiyi: Uh, I have something to say...

In her past life, Su Shiyi was a poor office worker. Now, looking at the bank card handed to her by the male lead's stepbrother, which was her allowance for the month, she couldn't help but stare.

After carefully counting the zeros in the balance, Su Shiyi fell silent.

Friends, endless pocket money, a handsome and all-powerful personal secretary, a real-life castle, and a 900-hectare island as just a small gift... Su Shiyi thought to herself, how could she be so foolish to give all this up just to "change her fate"?

Who wants to change their fate? She's going to lie flat and be a lazy fish for the rest of her life!

Su Shiyi couldn't understand why she was labeled as "little pitiful"—seriously, is there anyone richer than her? Was the massage bathtub that could swim not comfortable enough, or was it not satisfying enough to shop freely?

When her favorite star held a concert, she didn't have to worry about internet speed or ticket sales, the agency just sent her VIP tickets.

When her favorite brand released limited edition items, if there was only one, it would surely be worn by her.

As for the person she liked… well, that's a mutual matter.

Okay, this kind of life isn't perfect, though.

Su Shiyi looked at the long string of numbers in her bank account and fell into another daily dilemma: How should I spend money today? <<less

Lin An Lan has lost his memory, but luckily, his boyfriend doesn't mind and still treats him with tenderness, pampering him, and doting on him. ... more>>

Lin An Lan was relieved until one day he found a photo album in the house where he lived together, full of single photos of him, from his student days to his current status as a popular celebrity.

On the back of the last photo, written in black neutral pen - I want him.

* Cheng Yu has liked Lin An Lan and has done so for eight years. He wants him, but is afraid to make a rash move.

*
Until that day, when he heard someone knocking on the door as the wind and rain hit his window. He went out and saw that Lin An Lan's clothes were soaked through, his ink-like hair was soaked with moisture, which made his lips look even more delicate, like a rose in the dark night.

"Do I stay here?" He asked.

Cheng Yu didn't speak.

Lin An Lan frowned, looking both puzzled and innocent: "Sorry, I can't remember some things. May I ask, are you my boyfriend? Do I live here?"

Cheng Yu was shocked in his heart, but he smiled slightly as he reached out and led Lin An Lan inside, his tone gentle, as if they were a real pair of lovers.

"Yes." He said, "You're back too late, wife."

“Director Matou, the magical effects in your fantasy film looked incredibly realistic! How did you pull them off?”... more>>

“They were real magic,” Shinji replied without missing a beat.

“Director Matou, your historical drama was praised for its uncanny accuracy. How did you manage that?”

“I had direct consultation from the people who lived in that era.”

“Director, in your tokusatsu films, why does the Ultraman-like hero always use Bajiquan in combat?”

“Well, that’s because the actor playing him is none other than the founder of Bajiquan himself.”

“Director Matou, why do the female leads in all your films look so… similar? Especially all those Arturia actresses with the same name and face?”

“That, my friend, is a long story. And it all begins with a certain mushroom-headed man—”

“......”

. . . . .

Shinji Matou.

A prodigious talent in the world of film, a renegade magi who defied the orthodoxy of the Clock Tower, and an eccentric summoner who had long since stopped pretending to get along with his own Servant.

A director who blended modern cinema with ancient magecraft. A magus who saw the silver screen as a new kind of reality marble.

He stood boldly before a press conference filled with journalists, film critics, and confused magi alike.

“I am the greatest Master among Directors—and the greatest Director among Masters!”

He declared it like a line straight out of his own movie, with all the pomp and confidence of a man who had rewritten the rules of both cinema and sorcery.

The hall fell into an awkward silence.

And then, in perfect unison, a thunderous cry echoed from behind the curtains—

“SHUT UP AND GET LOST!” ×N

A chorus of exasperated Servants, all fed up with his antics.

Shinji didn’t flinch. He simply smirked, adjusted his director’s beret, and turned back to the flashing cameras.

"Good! Now let’s roll the cameras! Scene one—reality itself." <<less

Lu Chen woke up to find himself participating in a live-streamed creative competition show!

Contestants were tasked with creating works based on themes given by the show.

Lu Chen decided to take the road less traveled—he wanted to blow the audience away!

He chose ‘Operation Icebreaker’ as his inspiration.

At first, the audience thought they were getting a story about rural development. But as the plot unfolded, something felt... off.

A village of 20,000 people, every household with the same type of large pot, and a full-scale drug production operation?

The internet exploded.
