When They're the Only Sane Ones in the Entire Show

The hit drama "Return" is currently airing on multiple channels. In the story, the "good guys" lie through their teeth and insult people based on pure imagination. When the beautiful "villain" lays out the facts, one, two, three, they say, "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen! And even if there was cheating, it still wasn't my fault."

Elite CEO Huo Jingyun has no interest in this brainless, values-twisting Mary Sue drama. But he's drawn in by the peerless beauty of one of its villainous supporting characters. Tempted by the great beauty, he takes his blood-pressure pills and watches a few episodes of "Return," only to get so worked up that he has a heart attack...

When Huo Jingyun wakes up, he finds himself in a psychiatric sanatorium from "Return." In the show, he's a mad young heir from a wealthy family who has never appeared on camera. The beautiful villain, Jiang Qingzhe, has also been locked up in the same sanatorium after being "driven mad" by the show's brainless protagonists!

As the only sane person in the entire show, Jiang Qingzhe has already lost his former luster under the protagonists' series of baffling antics and has completely given in.

When their eyes meet, Huo Jingyun sees more than his astonishing beauty. He notices the faint depression and resentment in his eyes. It seems the beauty hasn't truly gone mad. He's simply chosen to give in.

Huo Jingyun's eyes turn icy. He reaches out to Jiang Qingzhe and asks in a deep voice, "Shall I take you with me and fight our way back?"

"You're... not crazy?" Qingzhe asks, doubtful, slowly letting the other man take his hand and help him to his feet...

Crazy...

Ridiculous. In this bizarre world of a drama, Huo Jingyun will show everyone who the real madman is...

By the time the show ends, all the online comments have changed from "What kind of brainless drama is this?" and "Is this a show for brain-dead people?" and "This makes me so angry. I feel bad for the poor beauty" to "Whoa, what a classic, satisfying revenge melodrama!" and "Those two crazies are so hot! They totally crushed those idiots and scumbags!"

Jiang Qingzhe, originally listed as a supporting actor, has risen to become the show's leading man! The name of the second male lead, meanwhile, has become "???"

Among all the hit shows airing at the time, "Return" stands out! Its leading man, Jiang Qingzhe, becomes an overnight sensation and shoots to fame!

When the media flock to interview the rising star, they ask, "Are you single now?"

Qingzhe blushes and gently rests a hand on his still-flat stomach. "I'm afraid not. I'm pregnant."

Famous for barely a moment, and already pregnant?

So who's the father?

In front of the television, Huo Jingyun is quite pleased with that answer. Sitting on the sofa, he says gently to Qingzhe, "Aren't you worried the media will make things up?"

The beauty in his arms wraps himself around Huo Jingyun's arm and kisses his face, smiling seductively. "What is there to worry about? Everyone already knows I'm crazy."

P.S. The gong transmigrates into a drama. The rules are much like transmigrating into a book, and none of the characters in the show, including the shou, know that a real world exists outside it. (In other words, the characters in the show don't know they're acting.)

When the show ends, the actors' memories are automatically altered to include the gong's time in the drama, while their real-life memories are also changed in some ways. Don't overthink or dig too deeply into certain things. If you can follow along and enjoy it, that's all that matters. It's hard to explain everything in a few words here, but it'll make sense when you read the story.

The story is primarily told from the gong's perspective. Readers who are extremely devoted to either the gong or the shou should proceed with caution!
