Too Hard to Get into Character

Shu Zhao was an actor so obscure he was practically an eighty-eighth-tier star. By chance, he joined a production crew crawling with people who had powerful connections. He'd planned to keep his head down and finish his scenes without any trouble. Instead, his dedication made someone jealous, and he was about to be kicked off the production.

Luckily, all was not lost. At a banquet, Shu Zhao ran into the production's most influential connected person, the male lead, Yu Yi.

That night, a little tipsy, Shu Zhao knocked on Yu Yi's hotel room door.

The next day, after getting the news from the production crew, Shu Zhao returned to set. A staff member told him that his first scene was with Yu Yi.

To Shu Zhao's surprise, Yu Yi, who was rumored to struggle to get into character, was nowhere near as bad an actor as people said. Even when his flirtatious eyes fell on a nobody like Shu Zhao, they made Shu Zhao feel the depth of his affection.

To keep his role, Shu Zhao acted as Yu Yi's lackey during the day and sat on his lap at night.

He got a little too into the act, and before he knew it, Shu Zhao was swept up in the moment.

One day, Yu Yi took time off to attend an awards ceremony.

On the livestream, Yu Yi wore a luxury custom-made suit from a brand that had just announced him as its ambassador, and acted intimately with the actress walking the red carpet beside him.

In an instant, Shu Zhao woke from his dream.

On the last day of filming, Yu Yi looked as calm as ever. Shu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could finally put an end to this absurd chapter of his life.

Then a message came from an unsaved number: "What kind of role do you want in your next drama?"
