Synopsis

“You want me to play a serial killer and fool everyone? Then why did you all get scared and start crying?”

Jiang Che, a trainee, joins his boss and top-tier star Yang Mi on a hit variety show.

During a game, the host casually jokes, “Jiang Che, have you ever killed anyone?”

[Ding! Mission detected: Play a serial killer and fool everyone! The Acting Emperor's Super Immersion System activated!]

Jiang Che instantly gets into character as [Killer: Ghost]. Looking at the host, he calmly replies, “I have.”

Everyone bursts out laughing, but he fools the lie detector. The next second, its green lights flash wildly: [PASS]!

Everyone: As everyone knows, lie detectors don't lie. So he really has killed someone?

The whole studio falls silent.

From then on, an actor who only wants to do his job finds himself getting deeper and deeper into trouble.

Yang Mi breaks down: “I told you to play an engineer. I didn't tell you to turn a mobility scooter into an infantry fighting vehicle!”

Yang Mi loses it: “I told you to act in an anti-fraud film. I didn't tell you to turn around and swindle fifty million dollars from an international arms dealer!”

Yang Mi cries: “I told you to help the poor. I didn't tell you to write a program that brings down the entire online lending industry!”

Police forces around the world: “He's a ghost, a perfect criminal we can't convict!”

The mastermind behind the scenes: “This ‘actor’ must be the ultimate trump card the nation sent to take me down!”

Faced with the whole world's misunderstanding, Jiang Che looks utterly innocent.

“I really... am just an actor!”
