[Before being reborn] He had been so humble he was practically ground into the dirt, falling into the abyss that was Huo Cheng. No matter how many times he tried, he could never climb back out. When he heard with his own ears that the actor husband he had loved for eight years was confessing his love to someone else in front of the entire country, Wen Mo completely lost the will to breathe.
“Huo Cheng, it was my fault for expecting anything from you, for wanting more.”
Everything, absolutely everything, vanished into nothingness in the instant he died.
[After being reborn] Wen Mo only wants to focus on acting, divorce Huo Cheng, and find a good man to spend his life with.
But why is Huo Cheng always hovering around him?
“Mo Mo, the Best Actor title is yours. I don’t want it.”
Wen Mo: “I earned it by acting. Did you think you bought it for me?”
Only later does he find out how the aloof Best Actor Huo had been instructing his fans behind the scenes to check in and vote for him.
“Mo Mo, I’m not asking you to love me. Just let me stay by your side.”
…
But when the truth about his past and present lives finally comes to light, Wen Mo learns that Huo Cheng had lived and died for him alone.
When your heart stops beating, I’ll stop breathing with you.
Content warning: He isn’t really a scumbag. There’s melodrama, and a few fresh ideas too. This isn’t a feel-good power fantasy, and the writing is rough. Any unpleasantness will bounce right back.
