Wan Yichen is a super-rich second-generation heir who loves acting, but his acting is painfully bad. After starring in several dramas, he's still an obscure actor ranked somewhere in the eighteenth tier.

Wan Yichen: "I'll teach you to act. I'm really good at it!"
Si Song: ...
Later, the eighteenth-rate TV drama starring Si Song becomes a hit, and the Weibo hot search reads #Si Song's Acting#. Wan Yichen isn't impressed. "He's just playing himself."
Si Song wins Best Supporting Actor. Wan Yichen: "I taught him."
Si Song wins Best Newcomer. Wan Yichen: "He was just on a roll."
Si Song wins Best Actor. Wan Yichen: "I'm done with this!"
Si Song soothes him: "You taught me."
At the awards ceremony, the host asks, "Why did you become an actor?"
Si Song: "I guess I wanted to stay alive."
