He died beneath an avalanche of abuse.
Words were like blades, transforming into snowflakes that came crashing down on him.
A rebirth sent him back more than a decade into the past.
This was an era before everything had begun, a golden age when the nation's film industry was still in its infancy.
It was the end of his previous life, but the starting point of the dream he had long yearned for.
In this life, he wasn't shelved by his agency, and the people who had persecuted him were now standing at the same starting line as him.
When the wheel of fate began to turn, when he took each step steadily, one after another, and when he first stepped onto the awards stage to receive his first Best Newcomer Award, he saw that twisted face in the audience.
He watched the man slowly form a smile. It was faint, but carried a hint of mockery: Look, the awards you won in your past life with fabricated lies and deception aren't that hard to get, are they?
So this was what it felt like to look down on someone. For the first time, he experienced a sense of control, but he soon lost interest.
His gaze fixed on even higher, better, more prestigious awards. It was a collecting obsession born from a dream.
Day after day, he studied every role he could get. As he won more and more awards, it never crossed his mind that he would catch the attention of someone unexpected.
The man came from a prominent family and was a top-tier star in the world of financial power. But he was also the culprit behind the persecution in his previous life.
All his misfortune stemmed from him, and every hardship had been inflicted by him.
By rights, considering the reality of his reborn life, the two of them should never have crossed paths.
But fate was just that overbearing...
The man pursued him relentlessly. Money or resources, whatever he needed, the man was willing to offer everything.
How arrogant and conceited, just like in his previous life. If he wanted, he could shelve someone for more than a decade.
If only death were not the only way to put an end to it.
With feelings he couldn't quite explain, he accepted the man's advances.
A tailored suit accentuated the man's tall, slender figure, and his firm muscles revealed his disciplined fitness habits. When the man lay in front of him, every muscle in his body suddenly tensed from the pain...
He finally felt a little satisfied. He sensed the man's resistance and leaned close to his ear with a smile, whispering, "You like pain, so why are you trying to hide from it?"
The man's usually cold eyes had lost all their composure. He looked at him in a daze, then finally trembled and whispered, "I love you..."
