Yeah, most of the characters introduced in the LN are men. It should be Mr.Phil, the mentor of future niannian. They changed a lot of things from the webnovel. Like it should be a concert not a party. It should be at the backstage not in the center but overall everything seems to flow according to the LN. Tho it(changes) looks like just a minor details, these scenes would create a big impact to the future flow of the story.

Chapter 1-40 is there

You can find the other chapters on wattpad though some translation was bad so I stop reading halfway on chapter 130
I thought Phil is a male. Niannian and other people called him Master Phil in the novel so I thought he was a male (or maybe the manhua made him female...)
But overall, its good to see Ms Phil
