From Fei Tian Ye Xiang (also known as Arise Zhang), the prolific author of Legend of Exorcism, Dinghai Fusheng Records, and more comes a modern-day superstar x assistant danmei series!
Xiao Yi is at the end of his rope. He’s broke, his girlfriend just dumped him, and his dreams of breaking in to the music industry are dead in the water. That’s when an old friend reaches out with a job offer. At first, it seems like a dream come true: working as a personal assistant for the ultra-famous, ultra-handsome, ultra-talented actor Lu Zhou, whom Xiao Yi has admired since his debut.
The bad news is Lu Zhou is also ultra-demanding, ultra-prickly, and ultra-spoiled—none of his assistants ever last long. But Xiao Yi is determined to stick it out. After all, Lu Zhou is still his idol, and this job could help Xiao Yi break into the entertainment industry at last. If Xiao Yi starts falling for Lu Zhou along the way, well…no one needs to know about that.
