In his previous life, the villainous prince Lin Yanning worked himself to death scheming and stirring up trouble.
After transmigrating, he became a modern-day beauty who cried at the drop of a hat: a powerless, helpless little flower, and, unfortunately, a hopeless romantic.
He was about to enter the entertainment industry for the man he loved. On an impulse, he accepted a casting couch deal to get the scumbag resources. Then the scumbag publicly confessed his love for a top-tier star. The original owner was branded a homewrecker, cyberbullied, and eventually jumped to his death, unable to bear it any longer.
Luckily, none of that had happened yet.
The original owner had just passed an audition and landed the role of a minor villainous prince.
Lin Yanning, a bona fide villainous prince with not a penny to his name: ... Playing to type. No problem.
He portrayed the villainous prince with such regal bearing, decisiveness, and ruthlessness that he stood out as a breath of fresh air among the male and female leads, whose minds were full of romance.
So he became an overnight sensation.
Offers for new films kept pouring in. Directors admired his talent, the media praised his potential, and even the scumbag who had once ignored him came crawling back to curry favor.
Lin Yanning: Why bother with romance? Isn't building a career better?
-
In the new era, everyone was equal, and the law kept people in check.
Stirring up trouble was out of the question, but building a career was fair game.
Lin Yanning was a single-minded workaholic, and he was quite happy with this new world, except for one thing:
His new body's tear ducts were far too sensitive. He cried when angry, when touched, when happy... Any little emotional shift outside of work made tears immediately patter down his cheeks.
Even when he accidentally walked into the wrong room and apologized, he couldn't stop himself from crying first.
It looked as though the person in the room had bullied him.
A certain unnamed CEO couldn't defend himself against his friend's meaningful stare.
The CEO, who had been falsely accused, decided to demand an explanation from Lin Yanning. But every time he tried to speak, Lin Yanning would say, "I'm sorry," or "Sorry about that," and tears would fall at the same time.
His voice was soft and tearful.
He looked especially... easy to squish.
After chasing after him for so long, the CEO finally couldn't resist. He reached out and pinched that soft, pretty face.
The CEO got a pair of black eyes for his trouble.
But Lin Yanning cried even harder.
His reddened eyes glared at the CEO, who couldn't help touching his tingling heart as he thought, deeply ashamed:
I think I'm getting the urge to commit a crime.
