Chu Yuan is a low-ranking wage earner in the entertainment industry, well-versed in the craft of acting, but unfortunately he just doesn't have what it takes to become a top-tier star. One day, he transmigrates into a world built around a supernatural horror novel.
In an abandoned villa deep in the mountains, Chu Yuan is shoved into a coffin in the middle of the night and sent off like a bride, complete with gongs and drums.
He thinks he's stuck in the role of a pitiful cannon-fodder character in a horror story. But when a rainstorm hits, five shivering people crowd together outside his door.
Apparently, they're mission-takers who have to get through this round to make it out alive.
So Chu Yuan blends in with the survivors, becoming the NPC least like an NPC and the mission-taker with the most powerful backer.
Chu Yuan's perspective: These mission-takers are so pitiful. They think he's an important NPC who can help them approach the boss and get clues, so they do their utmost to flatter and protect him. If I don't take advantage of that, when will I get another chance?
The survivors' perspective: Being dragged into a death game is awful enough. Even worse, there's a strange NPC in the game who has the most powerful backer and the strangest way of thinking. While trying to clear each round, the survivors also have to rack their brains to keep him happy.
The supernatural horror boss's perspective: As long as my wife is happy, she can play and do whatever she likes. If one isn't enough, she can have another. I'm the number-one fan behind my wife.
Theme: In the face of danger at every turn, use silliness to crack the case.
