Su Mu is a stunningly handsome, top-tier actor who has earned billions at the box office. One morning, he wakes up to find himself inside a wish-fulfillment entertainment-industry novel, as a pretty but useless cannon-fodder bottom with scandals everywhere and a hopeless crush. The scum top has swindled him out of his money, his body, and his career opportunities, and in the end leaves him disfigured and forced to retire from showbiz.
When Su Mu arrives, his original self is auditioning for a role with a sleazy director. According to the plot, the director will bully him and take compromising photos to use as leverage.
Su Mu, who brought all his wealth with him: Am I supposed to put up with this?
He knocks the man out in one swift blow, strips him, takes photos for posterity, gives him a full-body scraping treatment, then leaves in style. Back home, he tells his manager he wants to quit the industry.
His manager clings to his leg, weeping: Bro, did you forget? We're still 80 million in debt!
Not only did the scum top swindle the original host out of his entire fortune, he also left him with debts.
To collect what he's owed, Su Mu goes to find the scum top, who offers to let him play a foil to the fan-favorite bottom in the original story.
Su Mu: Am I supposed to put up with this?
The original Su Mu was an empty-headed pretty face who got humiliated again and again in the story. But on the show, he proves his mettle and dishes out precise face-slapping, leaving the fan-favorite bottom fuming and the scum top's heart pounding in shock.
In the end, Su Mu makes a name for himself on the show and becomes an overnight sensation across the internet.
But when the investor presents him with an award, Su Mu suddenly panics.
Why does this impeccably dressed, strikingly handsome investor, with his exceptional bearing, look so much like the sleazy director he dealt with earlier?!
