I was reborn two and a half years into the past, just an instant before I hit the ground.
In my previous life, I appeared in a hugely popular TV drama.
Unfortunately, I only played a supporting male role.
But now that time has turned back, as long as I can get the director to choose me, I can play the male lead better than the actor who was cast after reading the script for the first time.
However...
Note:
1. The protagonist is the pursuer, told in first person.
2. The pursuer is reborn; the pursued transmigrates.
3. One-on-one, both leads are each other's only partners (a pursuer who was fully prepared to sacrifice himself for art but never got the chance X a thousand-year-old fox spirit who has never known the taste of love).
4. Since this is told in first person from a single point of view, the pursuer's thoughts aren't necessarily always right.
