Wen Lu was following a serialized novel, and his favorite character was Fu Yu Zhou, the hugely popular, beautiful yet tragic supporting male lead.
In the book, Fu Yu Zhou was a despised adopted son of a wealthy family. He was beaten and belittled from childhood, yet still grew up to become an outstanding actor. His adoptive parents never saw how hard he worked. Not only did they steal his opportunities and hand them to their biological son, they also arranged for him to marry a vicious side character. She looked down on him for having no power or influence, and ran away on their wedding day.
Wen Lu felt so sorry for him. Every day, he sent monthly votes and gifts, hoping the author would give Fu Yu Zhou a better ending.
But the author wanted to make readers suffer, so they killed Fu Yu Zhou off.
When Wen Lu read that the side character had tampered with Fu Yu Zhou's car, causing him to plunge off a cliff and die, he was so furious that his blood sugar dropped and he fainted.
When he woke up, he discovered he had transmigrated into the book as the vicious side character. He looked at the matchmaking reminder on his phone and went straight to the arranged marriage without a second thought.
Now that he's here, nobody is going to bully his beautiful, tragic husband!
.
Reborn in this life, Fu Yu Zhou has come to terms with things.
He used to want to become an outstanding actor and earn his adoptive parents' approval. Now, he only wants revenge on everyone who hurt him, then to retire from the industry and take a break.
His abusive adoptive parents, the fellow actor who framed him, his exploitative agent, the younger brother who stole his opportunities, and the marriage partner who tampered with his car and caused his death: he won't let a single one of them off.
Everything goes according to plan, until he sees the marriage partner who killed him in his previous life show up right on schedule at their matchmaking date.
Fu Yu Zhou knows just how calculating he is, so he watches him without letting anything show.
The next moment, the other man rushes over and calls out sweetly, "Hubby!"
Fu Yu Zhou: "...What?"
After that, he watches Wen Lu punch his younger brother, kick his hypocritical adoptive parents, choose him a new agency, and line up ten top-tier scripts for him. His schedule is packed from tomorrow through next year, with no days off all year long. He's either on set or on his way there.
Wen Lu's eyes shine: "Hubby! I know your dream is to become a Best Actor! Don't worry! This time, I'll help you claim the glory that's yours!" (Fist pump!)
Reborn revenge mastermind Fu Yu Zhou, who just wants to slack off but hasn't slept in half a month: "Do I really have to claim that glory?"
Theme: The wheel of fortune turns! Never look down on a young man just because he's poor!
