How the Heartthrob Messes Up

Completed. One-sentence summary: I ended up happily ever after with the scum top's backer. Synopsis: Renowned actor Qi Yinian, terminally ill, wakes up to find himself reborn three years later—now as Yue Ci, a disgraced and abandoned young star left in the dust by a scum top. From that day on, the scum top, accustomed to toying with emotions, noticed the name "Yue Ci" popping up more and more—from his lovers, his white moonlight, even his cousin’s lips. Then came his engagement banquet... Superstar Yue Ci, now at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, appeared arm-in-arm with his new boyfriend. Staring at the aloof, distinguished man beside Yue Ci, the scum top suddenly blurted out, "Father." #After being dumped by the scum top, I became his stepdad# #I got my happy ending with the scum top’s dad# #Slapping the scum top is just a bonus—our real goal is dominating the entertainment industry# Heads-up: Set in a modern entertainment AU, this story is overwhelmingly suave, shamelessly OTT, with a protagonist who’s a natural flirt and a certified heartthrob. Expect constant power struggles and rivalries among suitors vying for the MC’s attention. Proceed with caution if this isn’t your cup of tea. Final CP: A calculating, high-status older top x a self-proclaimed "total top" who charms everyone as a crowd-pleasing bottom. The official top is the scum top’s adoptive father (no blood relation).
