[Coming soon: the top-perspective story "To Solve the Case, I Faked a Marriage with My Rival" and the no-romance story "Evil Spirit Livestream"]
At sixteen, Chen Ran was abandoned by everyone, but then he met the obsession that would haunt him for the rest of his life and was reborn as a substitute.
At twenty-two, Chen Ran was surrounded and desired by countless people, yet beneath the mask of a refined gentleman, he was still as obsessive and violent as ever.
A substitute? A cannon fodder? That's why I'm going to take everything that belongs to the original, devouring it all.
The actor who died young was once a legend. Chen Ran, a nobody in the entertainment industry who looks just like the late actor, has been cast as his substitute, but insists he's surpassing the original. Before everyone can start mocking him, they discover in horror that the actor's string of titles have somehow changed hands:
#Winner of countless film and television awards#
Chen Ran: It used to be him. Now it's me.
#The industry's top-tier star, the youngest Best Actor#
Chen Ran: That's me.
#The peerless male idol who took your breath away#
Chen Ran: Still me.
Reporter: We know you're not a substitute anymore! Could you give the trending topics a break?
Chen Ran: That depends on what roles he still has that I haven't played. :)
Everyone: We're in love! That heavenly face, that cool, confident vibe. This guy is the best!
[ Ding~ Your substitute role has expired. More roles are about to unlock~ ]
Step by step, Chen Ran tears away his disguise and claims for himself the people and things he once looked up to. After all, he's no soft, obedient little cannon-fodder substitute.
He's a big bad wolf who eats people without even leaving the bones behind.
CP: Top-perspective, younger top. Taciturn, jealous, loyal, black-hearted-on-the-inside puppy top Chen Ran VS cool, chaste, beautiful big-shot bottom Lu Fan
[Short skit]
Reporter: What's the best role Chen Ran has ever played?
Lu Fan: The Best Actor's cannon-fodder substitute.
Reporter: And what's the worst role Chen Ran has ever played?
Lu Fan: Still the Best Actor's cannon-fodder substitute.
Chen Ran: Ahem...

[Coming soon: "To Solve the Case, I Faked a Marriage with My Rival"]
Qi Han, deputy captain of the criminal investigation team at the Nancheng Public Security Bureau, ranks first in the whole bureau for both case-solving rate and complaint rate. He and prosecutor Qin Yao can't stand each other, and their relationship is exceptionally bad. But to find evidence in a murder case, he has no choice but to work with the genius prosecutor. What Qi Han never expected was that their so-called collaboration would involve...
Kissing?
Getting married?
Putting on a show of affection?
And with this arrogant, ill-tempered man who is neither gentle nor obedient?
Qin Yao: What are you looking at? Are you unhappy with the husband the state assigned you?
Qi Han: I hereby formally petition the organization for a divorce.
Several months later
Qin Yao: I demand a divorce!
Qi Han: No divorce. Not even if I die.
#This guy seems to be plotting against me#
#Help! I've been forced into an arranged marriage by the organization!#
#My wife was assigned by the state. Jealous?#
CP: Equally matched, top-perspective pairing. Stoic, unhinged, beautiful police officer VS proud, strong, dashing prosecutor.

At the end, I felt deceived by the title and copywriting. Of course, I don't mean to say anything bad. The writing is very good, beautiful and interesting, and the setting is very detailed, but it is completely different from the copywriting style (dog
Help! I don't understand this one…(╥╥)
Ah... Although but... This part is a bit tricky. In fact, there should be a very simple way to break free from the handcuffs. Break off the thumb or a skilled person can dislocate the thumb, then it will be easy to come out, and then put it back on...
I think it's good to write it in big letters. If this is the complete answer to the mystery, I think it may not be finished? One is about Chen's father, Chen's father's attraction or identity; the other is about the director, the director's age and whether it is inherited.
I don't think it's a foreshadowing! Hahahahaha it seems like a clear indication!
It's so obvious! It seems I guessed it right! Hahahahaha!
But I think the age of the main characters is divided into three generations. This director should be in the middle generation. He Yi and Lu are about the same age, more than 10 years ago? It shouldn't be that big back then, right? It's a bit strange... I always feel that it shouldn't be the current director... How many years has bty been organized?
Ha ha ha ha! Life experience revealed!
This death is too fast! It doesn't feel good at all, ow ow
So he wasn't killed? Sigh... I think he will soon regret not getting bombed! Whee
