Features: "What I want to say is, by today, celebrities are already meaningless. It's obvious that as a history buff, Tom knows this better than anyone else. Being famous is just a waste of life." — Sharon Krum, economic commentator. Tom is a slightly chubby, history-loving, cautious middle-aged man. After ten years of marriage, his wife runs off with his best friend. Unlucky Tom is miraculously chosen by a major conglomerate—to become famous overnight as an experiment to boost the circulation of a magazine. Bored and aimless, Tom rises to the occasion and becomes the boyfriend of the current Hollywood sensation, the glamorous actress Ms. West, as well as a household name, a knowledgeable and rational economist. Interviews, reports, TV appearances—everything comes one after another, too much to handle, truly a perfect combination of fame and fortune. Eventually, the clever and calm Tom breaks free from the shadow of Ms. West and rejects his ex-wife's request to reunite. After tasting the ups and downs of life and the coldness of the world, Tom begins his own path to stardom. This is the latest work by the renowned contemporary American best-selling novelist Sharon Krum, which has now been adapted into a feature film by Hollywood. The book has been published in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and Japan.
