Zhao Heng, a dethroned monarch, wakes up as an internet-wide laughingstock and washed-up celebrity, only to discover that the two-time Best Actor is the regent who poisoned him in his past life.
Forced to sign away his freedom, he goes from being a joke on set to wowing everyone under the man’s ruthless tutelage.
“Uncle” Lin Shen remains cold as ever: “You’re nothing but my most valuable creation.”
When Zhao Heng lifts the Best Actor trophy, Lin Shen wipes away the tear at the corner of his eye with his own hand, in front of billions of cameras.
This time, the young emperor no longer needs anyone else’s empire. He’ll win his throne for himself.
[No romance!!! To put it plainly, this is a story about how a Stockholm syndrome-like dependence is shattered by a cruel truth, and how the protagonist rises from the ashes through pain to become an equal adversary. No romance!!!]
