After graduating from college, Zhen has to continue staying with her single father Wu because of their poor financial situation. She then works with her best friend Zitomira and her uncle Jin Shui to create an image of a pretty rich girl online, successfully turning herself into a popular influencer, which generates several endorsements and a good income. In contrast to her reality, her online persona lives a good life and she has to keep up this image on social media in order to continue making money from the Internet. One day, she meets and falls in love with Nat, a Thai tourist who she later learns is from a rich family. As their romance becomes popular online, she continues "acting rich", even though her father detests her hypocritical image. But when Nat plans to propose, Wu has no choice but to act like a rich man too for the sake of his daughter's happiness.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
