Actor Bai Yi made his debut in high school. He's had acclaimed roles and won awards, but when it comes to romantic scenes, he's never been able to get the hang of them.
The director's advice: Go fall in love.
So, while on vacation one day, he got into a car accident. As he lay unconscious, he entered a little world called “Love Training.”
A system identifying itself as Number 9527 told him that it had detected him thinking about how to improve his performance in romantic scenes before he fell unconscious.
So, based on his subconscious, the System created a series of little worlds for him to improve his romantic skills.
He would wake up once he reached a score of 100.
Bai Yi, before learning the plot: I'll do my best to be the patient who wakes up first.
Bai Yi, after learning the plot: Don't you have any stories that fit mainstream values?
So Bai Yi grits his teeth and works on improving his romantic skills. But as he goes along, he finds the same familiar figure in every world, throwing him off his rhythm.
Bai Yi's three-part reaction:
Why does he look so much like someone I used to have feelings for?
The little worlds were created based on my subconscious.
Does that mean I liked him in my subconscious?!
Just as Bai Yi decides to reject the match chosen for him, pursue love freely, and prepare to wake up heartbroken, he discovers that someone had already secretly fallen deeply in love with him, long before he knew it.
No matter where he goes, that person will follow him.
Even if it means traveling endlessly from world to world.
World One: CEO and the Sweet Little White Flower
World Two: The Constable's Substitute Lover
World Three: The Unfinished Love Between a Human and a Ghost
World Four: Journeying to the Stars Together to Defend Our Homeland (Read with caution. I was in the worst state of mind while writing this, and I think it's the worst one.)
World Five: The Matter of a Secret Crush
Career-focused actor bottom with a huge capacity for empathy x love-struck researcher top who's almost destined to die alone
Reader's guide:
1. In the little worlds, the bottom's original self may have dated, married, or had children with someone else. In the real world, they're each other's first love.
2. One-on-one, bottom's POV. The little worlds have bad endings; the real world has a happy ending.
3. In each world, the taller one is the top.
4. The pacing is a little slow. There are no targets to win over. The bottom simply wants to discover what love means to him through these stories.
Theme: Reject arranged marriages and pursue free love
