Lin Wei transmigrates into a cannon-fodder female character in a historical romance. The System warns her: if the male lead discovers her true identity, she will be killed.
Gu Huai transmigrates into the cold-faced male lead of a historical romance. The System orders him: maintain your domineering CEO persona if you want to go home.
When they first meet:
Lin Wei (trembling): "My lord, spare me..."
Gu Huai (smirking as he grips her chin): "Woman, you're playing with fire."
In private:
Lin Wei: [So over the top! So greasy! Who taught him to act like this?!]
Gu Huai: [She's trembling like a pro. The locals are incredible actors...]
Until one night, they bump into each other in the imperial garden and blurt out at the same time:
"Bro, do you play Genshin Impact too?"
"...You do too?"
Turns out we're both putting on a show, and the other person is...
my one and only kindred spirit.
Both transmigrate + try to out-act each other + secret identities exposed. Also known as "My Theater-Kid Boyfriend and I Star in a Hundred Episodes in Ancient Times"
