The Returning Top-Tier Star: You Want Me to Play a Killer, and You're Asking for More Money?

Lin Yi is reborn in the entertainment industry of a parallel world as the visual member of EXO.

At the height of EXO's success, he follows in the footsteps of those who came before him and resolutely returns to China to pursue his career.

His first stop is the variety show I Am an Actor. Contestants enter film and TV scenes built by AI and play a role.

The judges give him the prompt: assassin!

"This man is my dearest friend, my sworn brother. It'll cost you extra!"

"You have good taste. This girl is really juicy!"

He delivers one iconic line after another on the show, becoming an internet sensation.

Prompt: eunuch. "I will climb, step by step, all the way to the top. I will become Zhao Gao!"

Prompt: big shot. "I've said my piece. Who's for it, and who's against it?"

Years later, with a whole group of women around him, he has taken home one Best Actor award after another.

Lin Yi: "Don't call us the Four Prodigal Sons Who Returned to China. I barely know them."
