A great movie star dies suddenly and unexpectedly transmigrates into Bai Fei, a washed-up little star burdened by scandals and abandoned by his scumbag boyfriend.
To make matters worse, he's bound to a System:
He can only stay alive by constantly killing people.
Bai Fei, a law-abiding citizen of the 21st century, says: Thanks for the offer, but no killing for me.
Then, at an audition, he's asked to play a minor male character who's a serial killer.
With a polite smile on his face, he raises a chainsaw high, sprays blood everywhere, and charges toward the director
The crew behind the camera are so terrified their legs give out, and they fall into a heap, their faces deathly pale.
The director is scared out of his wits and screams, "Don't kill me!!!"
[Ding-dong! Crime mission complete. Successful kill. Life increased by 30 days.]
Bai Fei: ? You can fool it like this?
.
After discovering that his superb acting can fool the System, Bai Fei takes on one killer role after another to rack up more life.
A savage butcher in an American-style splatter film, a killer with dissociative identity disorder and a tragic past, a refined, high-IQ serial killer...
With the System's video footage showing the killers' crimes in detail, Bai Fei's acting grows ever more convincing, making him the first Asian actor to win multiple international awards.
Passersby: "That doesn't look like acting. Can someone investigate him?"
Fans: "Please, bro, play a good guy for once. You're practically marinated in these roles!"
Before long, the killers lurking in the shadows, crazed and cruel, begin watching him, too.
They are obsessed with Bai Fei's acting and try to drag him into the mire of evil, to stain him with their criminal intent.
Then, one rainy night,
a notorious fugitive bursts into his bedroom, looking deranged, and enthusiastically invites Bai Fei to join their criminal gang.
Bai Fei, already under close police scrutiny, coolly takes off his glasses and suddenly smiles.
"Sure."
Only now does the true test of his acting begin.

2. Showbiz + suspense + three-layered misunderstanding comedy. No matter how you fold it, it still has a face.
