Visionary director Yu Jing died of illness, only to wake up as Young Master Yu of the interstellar era.

His father despised him as a useless waste with no mental power. His stepmother viewed him as a thorn in her side, and the illegitimate son bled him dry before finally kicking him out of the house.

Everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself, betting he wouldn’t last three days before crawling back to the Yu family with his tail between his legs. Instead, Yu Jing immediately returned to his old profession: making movies.

In year 22 of the Star Calendar, Blue Star was destroyed. Disaster struck, and evolved humanity migrated to other star systems. After establishing dominance in the galaxy once more, people began searching for traces of their Mother Star.

When they learned Yu Jing was filming a Blue Star movie, everyone mocked him:

“Another director using Blue Star for a quick cash grab.”

“A bloodsucking parasite feeding on the Mother Star! Get out of the entertainment industry!”

That is, until a short video titled “Lovesick Red Beans” went online and instantly blew up across the galaxy.

Audiences screamed themselves hoarse, cheering for Yu Jing:

“We beg you, more Mother Star movies!”

“Director, you are my god! Look, is my kneeling posture standard enough?”

Later, Yu Jing realized something was wrong—

He filmed a wuxia movie about a wandering swordsman, and countless people ran off to become masked vigilantes, vowing to protect universal peace.

The mermaid next door watched his Classic of Mountains and Seas movie and cried nonstop every day, determined to weep tears into pearls to give to her favorite director.

After his Primordial Era movie was released, in the dead of night, a cold snake tail would coil tightly around his waist, and a hoarse voice would pant in his ear:

“Can you feel it?”

The corners of Yu Jing’s eyes red, he managed to choke out one word: “Get lost!”

“Conception by sensation” doesn’t mean this kind of sensation, dammit!

He was clearly making legitimate films, so why were everyone’s takeaways always so bizarre?

Driven mad by his audience, Yu Jing went to film ghost stories and Strange Tales.

This time, the audience stopped imitating. They huddled together in theaters, shivering in fear, and wailed pitifully to Yu Jing:

“The Mother Star is terrifying!”

Seeing Yu Jing become a great director renowned across the galaxy, the Yu family parents grew restless. They got on a hit reality show and showed up at his door with a camera crew.

When the door opened, they were met with the disgruntled face of the Film Emperor, Pei Yi.

And the son they had treated as tr*sh looked over indifferently, like a god surveying the mortal realm.
