About This Novel

Ling Yun is a bit actor living at the bottom of the film and television industry. He has great looks but no background. He can only play corpses in war dramas and human backgrounds in costume dramas. A sudden crew accident - explosion out of control, wire breakage - left him seriously injured and on the verge of death. Just as he was dying of consciousness, his strong desire to survive and his unfinished dream of becoming a star accidentally activated the [immersive role-playing system]. The rules of the system are cruel and tempting: he must accept "acting tasks" one after another. Only by meeting the "success" standard determined by the system - either convincing the audience or gaining high recognition from the director - can he survive in exchange for lifespan. In the early days, he played small roles with meager rewards, so Ling Yun had to struggle to survive on the set. But as he "entered the drama" again and again, he gradually unlocked the unique abilities of the character: the cold eyes of the killer, the elegant conversation of the scholar, and even a lost memory of swordsmanship... Off-screen, he quietly built a business empire by using the "possessions" rewarded by the system - real estate, equity, patents, inheritance clues - from nothing to a new capital rich. Ling Yun wanders between acting and reality, using his acting skills to exchange life and his roles to rewrite his destiny. But it became increasingly difficult for him to tell: Which ones were performances and which ones were real? When life is no longer in danger, how should he define himself as "Ling Yun"?
