A Century-Defining Stage Reunion for the Nation's Favorite CP

"The Feel-Good Story of Taking Down Scumbags" by Lin Zhiluò [Complete + Extras]

Blurb:

Xie Ran's nickname was Humanoid AI.

Trait 1: More rational than AI.

Trait 2: More ruthless than AI.

Later, he arrived in a parallel world and inhabited people who shared his name. They had all once led promising lives, but because they valued love too deeply, they were deceived and hurt by the people they loved, ultimately meeting tragic ends.

Xie Ran, drawn there by their obsessions: Valuing love deeply?

Some time later,

Subordinate: Boss, you haven't contacted Mr. Xie in a long time.

Scumbag top: Has he admitted he was wrong?

Subordinate: No. He's much richer than you now.

Scumbag top: ???

Subordinate: Oh, right. He's about to destroy your company, too.

The public claimed that Xie Ran had turned love into hatred. Xie Ran: Hatred? What was that?

Xie Ran's AI assistant: Sorry, sir, that falls within your blind spot of knowledge. But it doesn't matter. I will teach you.

Passersby (pupils shaking): ...Xie Ran was learning human emotions from an AI?!!!

I finally got the blurb right, lol.

Quick Transmigration

Novel. The CP is an AI assistant working hard to learn how to be human, haha.

World 1:

Ten years ago, newly debuted Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang gave the public its hottest national CP.

For the sake of his career, Fang Huiwang chose to distance himself from Xie Ran.

Ten years later, the two accomplished superstar kings broke the ice after a century and performed on the same stage.

With his position secure, Fang Huiwang could not help reminiscing about everything that had happened between him and Xie Ran.

Fang Huiwang in an interview: I'm very happy to work with Xiao Ran again.

Xie Ran: I'm happy too. The platform paid very generously, and I'm very satisfied.

One-Sentence Summary: Taking down scumbags is really fun!

Recommended Work: Technology genius Xie Ran accidentally traveled into other people in a parallel world. These people had all been hurt and exploited by scumbags because they cared too deeply about love. Traveling with Xie Ran was Meng Feixuan, the AI assistant he had created with his own hands. The real AI Meng Feixuan and Xie Ran, who was even more ruthless than AI, ran wild in the parallel worlds together. The scumbags who had once exploited emotions to recklessly hurt the original hosts all trembled as one.

In a parallel world, everything went smoothly. Taking down scumbags was merely something he did along the way. With witty, humorous prose, the author made the face-slapping and scumbag-punishing plot thoroughly satisfying. The story was engrossing and well worth anticipating.

@Langlang Entertainment: After ten years, former friends and today's superstars @Xie Ran and @Fang Huiwang performed together onstage once more, setting Snowball Satellite TV's New Year's Eve stage ablaze. [Video link: Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang share the stage again after ten years]

@Everyone Chases Stars: Tonight, during Snowball Satellite TV's New Year's Eve concert livestream, superstars Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang—who had not interacted for nearly ten years and were rumored to be kings who never met kings—performed together again. It instantly ignited a wave of nostalgia among longtime fans. Ratings for that segment also hit Snowball Satellite TV's highest in five years, topping New Year's Eve ratings records across all platforms. [Link: Review: Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang's collaborations from ten years ago]

@Gossip Little Horn: Snowball really knew how to play. They actually got Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang, who hadn't worked together in ten years, to reunite. Wonder how much Snowball Satellite TV paid? Also, Little Horn received insider news that this collaboration was apparently initiated by Wild Ambition Studio (Fang Huiwang Studio). What did that mean, doge? No matter what, tonight was destined to be a carnival for Wangran CP fans! [Photos ×9]

On the night of December 31, nearly every entertainment platform ran extensive headline coverage of the same news: superstars Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang had performed together again after ten years.

At the same time, Weibo's comments section exploded. "Wangran CP" climbed to the top of the trending list, followed by a purplish-red [Explosive]. Even both parties' fans could not keep the comments under control.

[Ahhhhhhh, Mom, the CP I shipped has come back to life!!!]

[Rising from my deathbed in shock—Grandma, the CP you shipped is sharing a stage again!!]

[Wuwuwuwu, it's been ten years! A whole ten years! I never thought I'd live to see Wangran reunited.]

[Is this real? Snowball truly is Snowball. They actually kept such huge news hidden until the show aired!]

[Sure enough, as long as you live long enough, you can see anything. This ten-year Wangran fan is slowly lying down and quietly weeping.]

[What is with the comments above? Isn't this just a commercial collaboration? Can CP fans stop getting carried away? Taking my Huiwang away, no appointments.]

[What the fuck kind of rumor is this marketing account spreading? It was clearly just the two of them singing together, yet you're forcing Wild Ambition Studio into it? I think some washed-up nobody is trying to leech off his popularity.]

[The rookie fans are hopping around again. Your Daddy Ran won the Golden Continent Best Actor award at twenty-two, while some rookie was still acting in idol dramas. Who exactly was leeching off whom?]

[Holy shit??? Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang actually had a CP?????? I'm completely confused!]

[Confused +1. Xie Ran and Fang Huiwang? Did I see that right? Those two had a CP?]

[My feelings are complicated. There are actually people who don't know Wangran... So have they really become tears of a bygone era?]

Xie Ran reclined sideways on the sofa in Snowball Satellite TV's backstage lounge. One hand casually scrolled through his phone as he lowered his eyes and unhurriedly read the comments on Weibo. The elbow of his other arm rested against the sofa armrest, his fingers lightly pressing at his temple.

His head was still a little dizzy.

This body was not originally his, and he was still adapting to it.

The real him was also named Xie Ran. He had originally been Huaxia's most renowned business legend and elite.

Yesterday, Zhuzi Technology, the business empire he had founded single-handedly, released its latest research achievement, and the company's stock hit the daily limit up at market opening.

That evening, Xie Ran attended the celebration banquet. He had not expected that after returning to his apartment, his vision would suddenly go black, and he would lose consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he had become the current Xie Ran: twenty-seven years old and a superstar with tens of millions of fans.

At the same time, he received the life memories of this Xie Ran.
