After Transmigrated as a Black-Hearted Entertainment Boss [Transmigration]

Synopsis: 

Corporate slave Tao Zui has transmigrated into a book!

The Good News: He’s a rich second-generation heir—no more 9–9–6 grind!

The Bad News: He didn’t just transmigrate into one book, but several. His artists are all the protagonists, and he is the “black-hearted boss” who oppressed them, eventually ending up ruined and behind bars.

The Good News: The original owner just returned to the country to inherit the company; none of the disasters have happened yet!

The Bad News: The company is hemorrhaging money and on the verge of bankruptcy.

Looking at the disastrous financial reports, Tao Zui decides: Even if he has to sell everything he owns, he must cling to the protagonists’ legs, hitch a ride on their success, and cruise his way to the peak of life!

But before long, he realizes the plot has gone so off-the-rails even their mothers wouldn’t recognize it!

The top-tier Movie Star’s roles are being snatched, and he’s being blocked at every turn; the popular TV Star’s “big-shot lover” is busy promoting someone else while wave after wave of paid trolls attack him; the viral Boy Band has run into “royalty” (rigged contestants) in a survival show, and their debut spots are in jeopardy.

Tao Zui: …Is there any hope left for this world?!

With the novel’s plot hanging by a thread, Tao Zui can only rely on himself. To push the protagonists to the top, he punches through the shady dealings of the film industry, kicks unscrupulous rival companies to the curb, battles marketing accounts online, and acts as a bodyguard to fend off obsessed “sasaeng” fans.

Just as the plot finally gets back on track—and Tao Zui stands at the pinnacle of life holding the contracts of the top Movie Star, the TV Star, and the viral Boy Band—the way the protagonists look at him starts to get… strange.

Taoli Entertainment’s anti-black campaigns are useless, their resources are trash, their team is a mess, and they never manage public opinion. Every day, fans check in like clockwork: “Has Taoli Entertainment gone bankrupt yet?”

— “Did Tao Zui save the galaxy in his past life? In this life, he’s just coasting on my idol’s success. He’s so lucky to own the youngest Triple Crown Movie Star [rolls eyes] .”

— “My idol became the TV King purely through his own hard work. Tao Zui is just a loser who got lucky and signed the right person.”

— “Weren’t they all signed by Tao Zui’s dad anyway? Tao Zui is just a useless rich kid who parachuted in and ended up with a hit boy band. Must be nice!”

Later, when the popular TV King joins a travel variety show, he refuses to let go of a chibi plushie of Tao Zui in his luggage.

TV King: “Not this one! I can’t sleep at night without it!”

Fans: “…Wife! Do you realize what you’re saying, Wife?!”

When the viral Boy Band appears on a slow-paced variety show and is asked about their favorite food, the three of them almost start a fight.

Boy Band: “Obviously, the Twice-Cooked Pork (Poached Beef / Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork) Papa Tao makes is the best!”

Fans: “…Sons! Don’t just go around calling people ‘Papa’!”

An influencer livestreams from a newly opened amusement park abroad. In the background, two handsome men wander into the frame—one of whom looks exactly like the top Movie Star, Gu Nan.

Tao Zui: “Ugh! This filling is strawberry flavored!”

Gu Nan: “Give the rest to me. You eat this one, it’s banana.”

Fans, watching the two of them eat each other’s leftovers: “…Hubby, shut your mouth!”

….

One-sentence summary: I possess top stars and reach the peak of life.

Theme: Everyone is born with a talent that can be put to use.
