After Becoming a Washed-Up Star, the CEO Sets His Sights on My Acting

After waking up, Lin Shuyi finds himself in the body of a washed-up celebrity on Blue Star who shares his name. The good news is that he looks great on camera. The bad news is that he forgot to turn off his livestream while showering, and the humiliating footage shot straight to the top of the trending charts. His bank account is down to 208.7, and this body has only 60 days left.

A "Best Actor Calibration System" suddenly appears. Complete twelve acting calibrations to extend his life. Botch even one, and it all resets to zero.

And so a peculiar star emerges in the entertainment industry. While everyone else claws their way onto the trending charts, he deliberately takes the unpopular, low-profile gigs. When a livestream set collapses, he steps in to save the day. A single pause in an audio drama makes him a legend, and a ten-minute, dialogue-free scene brings the whole audience to tears. Fans beg him to take a leading role, while Lin Shuyi puts on a serious face and says, "I just want to act well." Inside, he’s screaming: I want that too! My body just won’t let me!

He spends his days rushing between film sets and his nights grinding through calibrations. From charity performances in small towns to the big screen, he delivers a legendary underwater long take and climbs all the way from "trending-chart nobody" to a triple-crown award nominee.

The bigger problem is that one day a director is chasing him down to sign him, and the next, the head of Jingyu is waiting backstage. Song Chiyan slides a contract across the table. "You can act, but you don’t have to sell yourself to the trending charts." Lin Shuyi clutches himself and trembles. CEO, stay back! I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist!
