Si Xiaogang.
An utterly ordinary college student, he gets hired to hand out boxed lunches on a film set because he shares a name with the notorious treacherous minister in a hit romance novel.
An orphan, he transmigrates into the book after a car accident... taking over the notorious minister Si Xiaogang's role with his own naturally handsome face.
The original author, Li Shi, is also pulled into the book in his sleep and, by a strange twist of fate, gains a System that controls the life and death of everyone in the story.
He's unable to go back, so he can only stay here.
Since that's how things are, as a self-aware cannon-fodder character, he resolves to escape the political struggles at court and the romantic entanglements of the original male and female leads, so he won't meet an early, tragic end. After careful consideration, he makes a shocking decision:
Resign! Go home! Retire! Farm!
He stands in court, righteous and resolute.
"I want to resign!"
The elderly emperor looks at him and suddenly shakes his head with a sly smile.
"My dear subject, if you don't like it at court, that's all right. The Court of Judicial Review wants you!"
"Huh?"
Si Xiaogang is confused...
He turns around and meets the impassive gaze of Qi Wusi, a junior official at the Court of Judicial Review.
The man stares at him with a wooden expression for a moment, then turns back and reports mechanically.
"Censor Si Weizhe..."
"Is quick-witted and intelligent, innocent and straightforward."
The court, which had been filled with chatter, falls completely silent. The ministers look as if they've swallowed several pounds of dog shit.
"Well..."
The emperor watches Qi Wusi encouragingly.
The man remains expressionless.
"Lord Si..."
"Would be perfect as my man."
