Getting into Character

Song Zhi transmigrates into the role of a cannon-fodder bottom in an entertainment-industry novel: an obscure, eighteenth-tier star who isn't famous but loves to chase clout, with a pile of hate posts about him.

His mother finds love again and remarries, bringing the cannon fodder along as she marries into the powerful Xi family.

On the first day in the house, his nominal stepbrother warns him to behave and not cause trouble.

The man speaks gently, but doesn't even regard Song Zhi as a person. He's unbearably arrogant.

Song Zhi simply moves out and lives on his own.

A few months later, they end up on the same film set. The other man is a popular award-winning actor, making a guest appearance as the big brother of the sect who cares for the whole world.

Song Zhi plays the beautiful junior brother.

After filming wraps, the man pins Song Zhi in the tea room and won't let him leave. His usually cold stepbrother strokes his face with a tenderness completely unlike his usual manner, calling him by his character's name, one arm locked firmly around his waist.

His tender gaze makes Song Zhi feel uneasy.

Only when Xi Heng's bodyguards arrive and forcibly separate them can Song Zhi finally leave.

He assumes Xi Heng is still caught up in his role, but doesn't realize that the man is born without joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. Acting is simply his way of imitating other people's expressions and reactions.

This is the first time in Xi Heng's life that he has experienced emotion. He runs a hand over Song Zhi's photo, his gaze dark.

From then on, Song Zhi is required to live at the Xi family home, and his nominal stepbrother becomes more and more forward, touching him and looking at him with growing intensity.

They keep ending up on the same film sets, and his stepbrother always directs the emotions of his characters toward Song Zhi, until those feelings become something else.

A highly intelligent criminal breaks into his room, ties him up in a basement, and spends night after night having sex with him. A high-ranking insomniac insists on holding him every night to sleep, and demands that he wear no clothes. The Xi family turns a blind eye. An S-rank Alpha says he wants to mark him and gently bites the back of his neck.
