Chapter 3: Sweet Princess Begged Me to Be Gentle! The Newcomer’s Gift Pack!
When everything settled, it was as if nothing had happened.
A long, long time later…
Once Sweet Princess regained her senses, she pummeled Shen Lang’s chest with her delicate fists before finally softening, her fingers lightly tracing circles on his skin.
She scolded him again:
“How could you do this to me?”
“You pretended before, said you’d never let me pamper you. And now?”
“Look at what you just did!”
“Shen Lang, you’re shameless!”
“How can you be so different before and after?”
Listening to her complaints, Shen Lang wanted to explain, that was before, back when he hadn’t awakened his past-life memories.
Now, with those memories, he was a different man.
It was 2018. He only had knowledge of the next few years, but that was enough.
Sweet Princess had already secured two major resources for him:
“The Untamed”, a project that would skyrocket him to top-tier idol status overnight.
“The Wandering Earth”, once it released, he’d become the new darling of the film industry.
And let’s not forget, he was a nepo baby now!
His transmigration (rebirth) cheat arrived.
Reward #1: *Looks 99+*
Reward #2: *Physique 99+*
Reward #3: *Mental Fortitude 99+*
Reward #4: Golden Kidneys + Greyhound Waist!
Reward #5: *Daily Income of 2.08 Million × 365 Days = 759.2 Million!*
Any female celebrity connected to the host will remain his for life.
The surprise came too suddenly.
The five rewards from the Newcomer’s Gift Pack left him more than satisfied.
From now on, his “happiness” in the entertainment industry was guaranteed.
The first few rewards? Perfect.
Wasn’t the whole point of entering showbiz to get with female celebrities?
These five rewards boosted his success rate by a tiny bit… or rather, a billion tiny bits.
And the last reward? Absolutely golden.
He’d been short on cash, but now that weakness was gone.
Overnight billionaire!
But what Shen Lang valued most was the “additional note.”
This meant no cheating, no betrayal.
The entertainment industry was messy. Even as a reincarnator, without a cheat, he couldn’t be sure.
Now, with the system backing him, he could relax.
Sweet Princess… was his woman now.
Thinking this, Shen Lang felt deep satisfaction.
Sweet Princess noticed his gaze and tilted her head.
“Shen Lang, what are you thinking?”
“Are you embarrassed after what I said?”
“Sweetie, maybe we should, ”
“Call me ‘Sweetie Jie’!”**
Before he could finish, she cut him off with authority.
“I’m almost a whole decade older than you. You’re not calling me ‘Jie’?”
“Or should I be ‘Auntie’?”
“What did you just say?”
Her beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously, and she pounced, demanding more.
With the system’s cheat, Shen Lang wasn’t afraid of her challenge.
No idea how much time passed.
Looking at Sweet Princess, now exhausted and asleep, he felt immense pride.
He pulled her into his arms and soon drifted off himself.
The alarm blared, waking Shen Lang.
Beside him, Sweet Princess murmured sleepily.
In the next second, she jolted upright, panicking.
“I’m gonna be late! Today’s the final rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala! I can’t miss it! Ugh…”
As she threw off the covers and tried to stand, her legs buckled, nearly making her collapse.
When she saw Shen Lang, reality hit her.
She punched his arm and whined:
“This is all your fault! Why were you like that last night? I told you to take it slow, but what did you do?”
“Was that really necessary? It’s not like I was going to run away. After what we did, did you really think I’d leave?”
“Honestly, I was more worried you’d take advantage and then ghost me~”
“But you’re mine now. And… you did great last night. Jie is very satisfied.”
Then, her expression turned serious.
“Shen Lang, drive me to CCTV headquarters later. I can’t… operate a car right now.”
Shen Lang thought back to last night’s “workout” and didn’t refuse.
Fine. He’d be her chauffeur.
Today was New Year’s Eve, February 15th.
The 2018 CCTV Spring Festival Gala would air at 8 PM, but performers had to arrive early for preparations.
Given last night’s “strenuous activities,” Sweet Princess couldn’t drive herself.
She had sneaked out to see him last night, hiding from her team to spend a memorable Valentine’s Day.
Now, every time she closed her eyes, the memories flooded back, vivid, intense.
As an actress, Sweet Princess quickly adjusted her mindset, pushing aside those thoughts and focusing on her performance, “Praise the New Era.”
This was her first time at the CCTV Gala.
In the car, she rested her eyes, steadying herself.
When they reached CCTV’s parking lot, her team swarmed her in relief, ushering her into the makeup van.
“The CCTV Spring Festival Gala…”
Shen Lang murmured, wishing he could perform too.
Next year, after “The Wandering Earth” and “The Untamed” blew up, the Gala would invite him.
The future Gala was leaning toward traffic stars.
Though it wasn’t like the old days, where one Gala appearance could make you a household name overnight, being invited still meant mainstream recognition.
Shen Lang didn’t want the “traffic idol” label.
But right now, traffic was his best path forward.
