Pretending to Be Poor to Enter the Circle: Once His Secret Identity Was Exposed, He Became a Power Broker

[Showbiz, two male leads, evenly matched, happy ending]

When Yun Jianshen decides to hide his identity and enter a boy group audition with a head of conspicuous white hair, his older brother tosses him a cold warning: “If you can't make a name for yourself, come back and inherit the family business.”

Yun Shen thinks his biggest challenges will be choking down the cafeteria's dry-as-dust chicken breast and avoiding the death glare of his fellow trainee, Lin Xiuyuan. That is, until his first performance, when Lu Linchuan, the famously sharp-tongued actor serving as a mentor, criticizes him in front of everyone: “Perfect technique, but unfortunately, you perform like an emotionless AI.”

The whole country is wondering: Is this silver-haired, blue-eyed trainee, who looks like a CG model and appeared out of nowhere, a genius or just a pretty face?

Yun Shen grits his teeth and practices, shining onstage, unaware that he has already been drawn into a game played by powerful investors. Scandals, traps, and revelations about his background come one after another, thrusting him into the eye of the storm. And the only person standing by his side is Lu Linchuan, the very man who criticized him most harshly.

During a late-night rehearsal, Lu Linchuan corners him in the empty practice room, his voice low and husky. “They say you got close to me with ulterior motives.”

Yun Shen looks up, his icy blue eyes reflecting the other's fathomless gaze. “What do you think, Teacher Lu?”

Lu Linchuan bends down and kisses away the tear still clinging to the corner of his eye. “I think you and I are the same kind of person.”

When his identity as an heir to a wealthy family is finally exposed, everyone realizes that the aloof genius they thought needed to curry favor with the powerful is himself at the very heart of power.

And the aloof, untouchable actor who despises celebrity culture has already crowned him with his own hands and bowed before him.

“I came to the entertainment industry to chase my dream, and happened to fall in love along the way.”
