[The God of Acting System is now bound.] [Current role detected: Chong Lou, the Demon Lord.] [Immersive role card loaded. Temporary abilities granted: absolute arrogance, expert combat skills, an emperor's aura, and a thousand years of solitude!] On the first day of filming, one look from him left the top-tier star acting opposite him unable to keep up. One line, “I have waited for you for a thousand years,” made all thirty crew members forget to breathe. The director behind the monitor was shaking all over, not from fear, but from sheer elation. “This is the real Demon Lord Chong Lou! What does Zhang Zifan even have on him?

Off screen, he was a sunny young man who took his pay by the day and rushed to help anyone in trouble. Trending nationwide: #WeShouldCheckThisActorsCriminalRecord# The police replied: We checked. He's a model citizen, and he once rescued a child from drowning. Everyone: ...Wait, how can the contrast be this huge?!
