The Stand-In Took Off and Became a Star

After awakening to his true nature, Shen Qianli discovers that he is inside a book. He is a disposable stand-in whose job is to pave the way for the protagonist, Qiao Xi, to build an acting career. Whenever Qiao Xi doesn’t want to take a role, Shen Qianli does it for him. Whenever Qiao Xi can’t pull off a scene, Shen Qianli steps in.

In the end, an accident during an explosion scene leaves him disfigured, penniless, unknown, and disabled.

Shen Qianli is a nobody of a stand-in, with neither connections nor fame. The only opportunity in front of him is a reality show that no one cares about.

Shen Qianli: I’m in. I have to be.

He has no intention of going back to being a disposable extra and ending up disfigured in an explosion.

Not long after Shen Qianli joins the reality show, netizens dig up the fact that he was Qiao Xi’s go-to stand-in. And now he has the nerve to pursue a career of his own instead of being grateful?

Sharp-eyed netizens notice that the stand-in used to look eighty percent like Qiao Xi. So why does his face look different now?

Plastic surgery, obviously. Case closed.

Shen Qianli: Sorry, I have a family-inherited disguise technique.

On the show, Shen Qianli climbs trees with his bare hands and skips across the water like a dragonfly.

Everyone is stunned: Wait, this guy can fly?!

Shen Qianli: Sorry, it’s just lightness skills. Every stand-in knows them.

Before long, the obscure reality show takes the entertainment world by storm, and every livestream lands at the top of the trending topics.

Soon, netizens notice that Qiao Xi’s acting is getting worse and worse. What happened to that genius actor image?
