This world's Heaven's Darling is precisely Wei Shimo's first love——Shu Ning. The whole world revolves around his decades-long emotional entanglement with two men. It tells the story about the two charming and dreamy loves that he had in different periods of his life. It also depicted how he never changed from his original aspirations as he worked for his dream for 16 years, finally becoming a film emperor of the generation. Wei Shimo is one of Shu Ning's men.
Wei Shimo is five years older than Shu Ning. At the age of 22, he met and fell in love with this beautiful and handsome 17 year-old boy. Shu Ning aspires to be a famous actor, so the poor Wei Shimo started his road of hard work so that he would become strong enough to support him in the future.
Yet, while he was working hard for his beloved boy, Shu Ning fell in love with Wei Shimo's good friend Li Feng. The two of them share the same dream, love acting, and have endless topics to talk about. They naturally got together. Their love was vigorous and fearless, and naturally they were severely restrained by their parents.
In the end, in order to be together, the two eloped without hesitation. When Wei Shimo learned the news, they had already started a new life on the other side of the ocean.
After more than ten years of unequal treatment abroad, Shu Ning realized how naive his choice was. They thought that with their talents, they would be able to make a breakthrough abroad.
However, reality has severely slapped them and they have achieved nothing. They started from acting as extras; about ten or so years later, they're still acting as extras. In the end, Shu Ning could not stand this kind of life where they were poor and had to consider other people's attitudes before taking action. He decisively abandoned Li Feng, who he had been together with for 13 years, and used the little money they had left to buy a plane ticket back to the country. At that time, he was already thirty years old.
Fearing criticism and ridicule from the people around him, Shu Ning found Wei Shimo, who loved him deeply before, for help and moved into his home. Wei Shimo also ended his gold lord relationship with Zhou Xiran at this time and accompanied his first love wholeheartedly.
After returning to China, with the support of Wei Shimo's powerful assets, Shu Ning developed like a duck to water in the entertainment circle. In just three years, he won the title of Best Actor, doubling his value.
He and Wei Shimo also got together smoothly. They came out of the closet without fear of any gossip. In the second half of their lives, they were very loving and became the model husband-and-husband married couple in the entertainment circle.
Gu Yunxi secretly frowned, heaven darling is really inferior than a character. From the world data, it can be seen that the reason why Shu Ning lost his reputation was not entirely due to competition for Wei Shimo, but more out of ugly jealousy.
Even with Wei Shimo's financial support, Shu Ning's domestic road was not so smooth at first, and the main reason was Zhou Xiran.
He and Zhou Xiran, they look 60% similar in appearances, and their aura is also similar. They both go the same "beautiful man" route. The entertainment circle is a place where there are "too many monks and too few porridge", it was inevitable that they would be competing for resources. However, in terms of appearance, Zhou Xiran greatly surpassed him. In terms of acting, he has more than ten years of experience acting extras while Zhou Xiran debuted as a child star, the two were equally matched in their acting.
t/n: not enough to go around / demand exceeds supply
It wasn't that Shu Ning hadn't asked Wei Shimo for help before, but Wei Shimo had once been Zhou Xiran's gold lord. This man is very sentimental. He can be Shu Ning's strongest backing, but he will not strike Zhou Xiran down for him.
Shu Ning is already 30 years old, his eyes have begun to show fine lines. He is no longer as young and tender as Zhou Xiran. Seeing the original self climb higher and higher, he can't help but panic. When he was once again defeated competing with Zhou Xiran for the endorsement of a major beauty product, Shu Ning came up with this extremely vicious plan, ruining Zhou Xiran's life.
“Jing Tian, adjust the body stats.” Gu Yunxi rubbed his forehead to relieve the headache he had after getting drunk. After drinking more than a dozen bottles of wine, if the original self hadn't committed suicide by jumping off a building, he might have died of alcohol poisoning.
Zhou Xiran has only one wish. And that is to take revenge on Shu Ning. He wants to mercilessly take revenge on him, letting him fall from the clouds, losing everything, his life a living hell!
Gu Yunxi sighed silently, the resentment in Zhou Xiran's soul is much stronger than Du Xi's in the last world.
Du Xi was cowardly and died clueless, while Zhou Xiran committed suicide bearing resentments towards Shu Ning. However, his death didn't even burn the skin of his enemy. All he got was endless ridicule and abuse from the world.
As he stroked Jing Tian gently, Gu Yunxi silently pondered. Zhou Xiran's wish is tricky, it's both simple and difficult. After exploring the parameters through hundreds of worlds, he and Jingtian conjecture that if they want to get energy from the reincarnation world, they must break the fortune of Heaven's beloved and change their fate of "following the wind and water". This conjecture has been verified in the last world.
t/n: "everything going well"; on a roll; smooth-sailing.
In addition, they carefully analyzed the source of energy. When helping the original body to realize his wish in the way he wants, the law will reduce its restriction on Gu Yunxi, and the world will be able to provide very huge energy. However, this method will definitely cost more time and energy.
Gu Yunxi has been restrained by Heaven for tens of thousands of years. He didn't care about that bit of time, the energy is the most important thing.
Zhou Xiran wants to stand at the top of the entertainment circle and take away Shu Ning's fame, ruining his career as an actor. He also wants to take away Wei Shimo and make him lose the love that Shu Ning was so proud of. For Shu Ning, who is hypocritical but thinks highly of himself, this kind of revenge is undoubtedly the most painful way for him.
However, currently, Zhou Xiran is infamous for having a bad image. There is already no place for him in China. And the competition abroad is fiercer than in China. If he wants to get a footing among the masses, it is easier said than done.
Yet Shu Ning, the darling of Heaven, is at the height of his power and has the support of the richest man behind him. He will never be able to retaliate for a while. So, this task is difficult.
Jing Tian licked his paws and smiled ingratiatingly at Gu Yunxi. It was nothing to his master to counterattack in the entertainment circle, but the original self wanted the owner to fall in love with another man, and it was the person who was deeply in love and loyal to Heaven's favourite. This part of the wish was like a pie in the sky. After all, his owner had not completely come out of his love for Qin Mo.
Gu Yunxi looked at Jing Tian who was watching him and being good with a smile, holding him up and giving him a kiss. “Dummy.” He will forget Qin Mo one day. His road of revenge has just begun.
Wei Shimo is Shu Ning's biggest golden finger. Without him, Shu Ning would not be able to become the best actor even if he continued to strive for it for 16 more years. Gu Yunxi licked his red lips and raised his eyebrows with a smile. Why not grab the Darling of Heaven's man to make him uncomfortable and inconvenience him? Besides, if he wants to control a man, who says it must be love?
