In his previous life, Bai Yu was the most expensive sacrificial offering.
Controlled by the plot, he was forced to pave the way for the obscure protagonist receiving love. The protagonist gong framed him until his reputation was in ruins, and in the end he died beneath the wheels of a car on a rainy night. Even his blood was cold.
Reborn on the eve of a variety show's filming, he snapped the strings of fate:
When the protagonist receiving love hinted they should fake a couple for publicity?
He switched off his mic in front of everyone and sneered, “If you’re just here to ride my coattails, I suggest you quit the show.”
When the protagonist gong paid for a smear campaign trending online?
He fired back with evidence of the other man’s prostitution and gambling: “Do you need to reserve a bed in prison?”
The whole internet went wild: #TheActorHasGoneWild#
Until one day at a wrap party, someone pressed ice-cold water against his Adam’s apple.
The red-haired young man was like a scorching flame, chasing him from the racetrack to the variety-show backstage, his fingertips brushing the collar buttoned up to his throat.
Later, paparazzi caught them:
At three in the morning, Bai Yu pinned the young man against a mirror in the dressing room, the veins standing out on the hand around his neck. In the reflection, though, the other man wore a triumphant smile.
He could tear the script to shreds with his own hands, but he could not tear free of the web of desire that man had woven.
