[Two male leads + face-slapping + adored male lead + feel-good entertainment-industry story]

Xia Xingyao transmigrates into the body of a fake young master. He’s supposed to be a cannon-fodder character, and even his biological parents ignore him.

His adoptive mother had constantly manipulated and belittled him, leaving him timid and causing his grades to get worse and worse until she gradually grew to despise him.

After the real young master returns, Xia Xingyao only makes things worse by constantly targeting him, and eventually meets a miserable end.

Not long afterward, fans hear the shocking news: Xia Xingyao, an actor from the entertainment industry with terrible acting and all kinds of scandals, is going to appear on an acting competition show.

His many haters are waiting for him to embarrass himself.

But when he plays an undercover cop on the variety show Actors, Take Your Places, his entire aura changes in the blink of an eye.

And that’s not to mention his role as a limping third male lead with very little screen time. Seated in a wheelchair, he casually plays the flute and earns praise from a renowned veteran artist. Later, when playing a crazed villain, he even performs a magic trick for the audience before making a stylish exit.

Viewers: ??

So you were hiding your abilities this whole time? Are you here to act or show off your talents?

While countless viewers stare in disbelief, he beats out the most popular contestants and takes first place.

Only then do viewers realize just how much he’s been hiding. He can play the piano, and the drawing he casually makes on a playing card in his livestream is so lifelike that fans say it looks even more real than a printout.

Xia Xingyao’s company originally planned to make him a foil for a top-tier star. But instead of clashing with the star on the show as they’d expected, they’re caught acting friendly in private. Then viewers discover that Chen Yuhe, the new top-tier star, secretly made an alternate account one day to argue with Xia Xingyao’s haters.

His fans dig up the account, and only then do netizens realize the top-tier star has a secret crush.
