Showbiz: I Play It Straight, but Dilraba Calls Me Chancellor Cao

After being killed by a truck, Li Qiang is reborn in 2014 as Li Qiang, an assistant director on the set of The Other Side of the Ocean. In truth, he's only there to pad his resume, and his real identity is the son of a powerful Beijing entertainment mogul...

He also gets bound to the Black-Hearted Director System. By squeezing actors' salaries and making films at the lowest possible cost, he can earn points as rewards...

So he sets his sights on the newcomer Dilraba, sweet-talking her into acting in his film... without paying her... Little does he expect that a few months later, a film in the Detective Chinatown series will burst onto the scene, with Dilraba's portrayal of A Xiang winning hearts with her captivating charm...

Dilraba: "Director, you promised you'd marry me once we finished filming the Detective Chinatown series, but we've already made ninety-nine movies..."

Tang Yan: "You stole my role back then, so now you have to take responsibility. Luo Jin? Who's that? I don't know him."

Yang Mi: "You bastard! If you've got the guts, let Dilraba go and come after me instead."
