The Top Star Always Likes to Keep Me in His Pocket [Entertainment Industry]

Lin Haobai is a twenty-two-year-old Best Actor who has spent fourteen years in the entertainment industry, rising from a child actor to a top star known for his chocolate-toned skin and charismatic smile. Despite his professional success, he remains inexperienced in romantic relationships and lives a life dominated by work to support his mother. The story begins with the launch of life-size figurines modeled after him, an event attended by Ren Tianxing, the newly appointed head of the Ren Group, a corporate giant controlling half the domestic household chemical market. Ren Tianxing, a man of striking, almost ethereal beauty, purchases one of the twelve limited-edition figurines Lin Haobai personally crafted, feeling an inexplicable connection to the object.

Soon after, Lin Haobai begins experiencing vivid dreams where he is trapped inside the figurine, viewing the world from a miniature perspective while Ren Tianxing interacts with him. Initially frightened, Lin Haobai gradually realizes these are not mere dreams but a supernatural link between his consciousness and the figurine. During these encounters, Ren Tianxing treats the figurine as a confidant, complaining about his incompetent employees and family business troubles, unaware that the person inside is the real Lin Haobai. The two men eventually meet in reality when Lin Haobai spots Ren Tianxing in a supermarket and later when Ren Tianxing visits the set of Lin Haobai's skincare commercial. Ren Tianxing, who owns the brand sponsoring the ad, uses his influence to secure the endorsement for Lin Haobai, despite the actor's initial reluctance to avoid conflict with a rival company.

The core conflict arises from the power imbalance and the hidden nature of their connection. Lin Haobai is confused and frustrated by Ren Tianxing's domineering yet playful behavior, while Ren Tianxing is intrigued by the actor's straightforward personality and innocent reactions. Ren Tianxing is engaged in a ruthless corporate battle to take over his family's company from his grandfather and rivals, and he sees Lin Haobai as a source of comfort and stability amidst his stressful life. Meanwhile, Lin Haobai struggles to maintain his career and personal boundaries while being inexplicably drawn into Ren Tianxing's orbit.

Key turning points include Lin Haobai discovering that Ren Tianxing is the CEO of the Ren Group and the owner of the skincare brand he is endorsing. This revelation forces Lin Haobai to confront the reality that his dream companion is a powerful figure in the real world. Ren Tianxing, on the other hand, begins to suspect that the figurine might be connected to Lin Haobai himself, especially after noticing similarities between the actor's personality and the thoughts he hears in his dreams. The story moves toward a complex relationship where both men must navigate their growing feelings, the secrets of the figurine, and the external pressures of corporate warfare and public scrutiny. Lin Haobai's journey shifts from confusion and resistance to a tentative acceptance of his unusual bond with Ren Tianxing, setting the stage for a romance that bridges the gap between the supernatural and the corporate world.
