"If you are just a puppet, why are your hands freezing? Why does your chest hurt when you bleed? From now on, you are a human being... and you are my responsibility." Lu is an omnivorous bookworm. From high-brow psychology journals and legal thrillers to trashy self-help books and gag comics, his brain is an chaotic library of random trivia. But his peaceful life ends when he reads the final, heartbreaking page of a psychological showbiz novel. He spends the night crying over the tragic fate of the main character, Yan Jin-the industry's "Genius Actor." Yan Jin can play any role with terrifying perfection because his emotional core died in childhood. He treats his own body as a hollow marionette to be exploited by a corrupt agency, eventually dying alone in obscurity. When Lu wakes up, he has transmigrated into the novel as Lin Xi, an unpaid intern personal assistant assigned to none other than Yan Jin. He has no magical "System" and no cheat codes. All he has is his memory of the thousands of books he read in his past life. Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful but completely hollow actor, Lin Xi makes a vow: I am going to rewrite this tragic script. I am going to teach this beautiful doll how to be human. What follows is the most chaotic, fluffy, and fiercely protective healing mission the entertainment industry has ever seen! Armed with random trivia from self-help books, Lin Xi aggressively feeds Yan Jin cat-shaped pancakes to boost his serotonin. Armed with terrible dad jokes, he thaws the icy post-filming numbness. And armed with knowledge from legal thrillers, Lin Xi takes absolute control, ruthlessly shutting down corrupt executives who try to exploit his actor. From a puppet who only knows how to follow a tragic script, Yan Jin completely surrenders his strings to Lin Xi, ready to learn the ultimate lesson: how to love and be loved.

Ning Xia (Xiao Xia) is a cheerful, slightly clumsy fanboy who is deeply obsessed with Yan Jin-the cold, ruthless corporate villain of the hit web novel, The Emperor of Entertainment. After a tragic yet ridiculous accident where he dies from falling down the stairs because he overslept for work, Xiao Xia opens his eyes only to find himself transmigrated into the novel world as a broke, F-list rookie actor. Thrilled by the chance to meet his ultimate 2D crush in real life, Xiao Xia immediately sets out on a mission to woo the powerful CEO. He uses every cheesy fanboy tactic in the book-from fanning him during hot shoots to peeling shrimps for his lunch box-all while acting completely innocent on the outside. What Xiao Xia doesn't know is that from the very first day of his audition, Yan Jin has suddenly gained the ability to read his mind. As Xiao Xia plots his "secret" seduction, Yan Jin is forced to endure a daily, chaotic, and thirst-filled radio broadcast inside his head. Amused by the boy's unfiltered honesty and utter cuteness, the cold CEO quickly falls for his accidental stalker. But when a jealous rival leaks their intimate photos online and incites a massive cyber storm, can Xiao Xia's pure heart and Yan Jin's fierce possessiveness turn a career-ending scandal into the entertainment industry's most beloved romance?

"If you can hear me, Lianyu... you should know that your waist looks incredibly small in that shirt. I wonder if I can wrap both my hands around it." For two years, Xie Lianyu lived a double life. Ever since a freak accident involving a 40°C fever and a flight of stairs, he was cursed with the Ling-Tong tether-the mystical ability to read the unfiltered minds of anyone within a five-meter radius. He survived the daily onslaught of human pettiness by building thick mental walls, fully believing the ancient legend that the curse would only break when he shared a first kiss with his fated soulmate. Lianyu accepted his fate as a lifelong bachelor. After all, true love felt like a myth. Until he stepped into an elevator with Lu Jue. Lu Jue was the undisputed tyrant of the corporate world-a tall, ruthlessly handsome CEO whose icy glare could freeze water. Employees cleared hallways just to avoid him. But the moment their five-meter radiuses overlapped, a booming, dramatic, and hopelessly smitten voice blasted directly into Lianyu's brain: [Oh my god. An angel. Look at those soft, fluffy curls... I want to pocket him and take him home.] Traumatized and bursting into uncontrollable blushes, Lianyu does everything he can to flee from the CEO. But Lu Jue is hyper-observant. It doesn't take long for the cold-blooded corporate monster to realize that his cute little data analyst can hear his every thoughts. And that's when Lu Jue decides to weaponize his inner monologue.

All Lu Xingchi wanted after transmigrating into a melodramatic web novel was to live the ultimate "salt-fish" life-lazy, low-profile, and completely irrelevant to the plot. His survival plan as a nameless intern was simple: stay out of trouble and mind his own business. The only problem? He was bound to a high-tech "Melon-Eating System" that constantly fed his brain with the juiciest, most scandalous secrets of the high-society elite around him. But the ultimate system glitch? It completely forgot to warn him that his boss-Xie Cangqiong, the infamously cold, ruthless, and terrifying billionaire CEO-could hear every single one of his thoughts. While Lu Xingchi was busy broadcasting chaotic rants, biting sarcasm, and highly descriptive commentary about how ridiculously attractive his boss was, Xie Cangqiong was listening to every single word. "Xingchi, your mind is exceptionally noisy today," Xie Cangqiong whispered, trapping the trembling intern against his executive desk. "And according to what you just thought... you want me to skip the lunch meeting and do *that* in my office instead?" Lu Xingchi: [SYSTEM!!! HELP!!! The internship manual never prepared me for a boss who can read my mind!] The peaceful intern life is officially over. Welcome to a corporate world of massive scandals, dangerous secrets, and a shockingly shameless CEO who refuses to let his little "melon-eater" go!
