["I don't care, I just want to act" ambitious, acting-obsessed bottom who keeps climbing higher X "He thinks that if he keeps giving his sincere love, sooner or later it will be felt. For a while, he thinks it's mutual, but nearly waits until divorce" loyal top]
Shi Jingshuang is a little actor ranked below the eighteenth tier of the entertainment industry. He loves acting, has outstanding skill, and is beautiful, but his personality has made him enemies, so he has never gained much popularity and can only play bit parts.
Until one day, he accidentally transmigrates into a book and becomes the male lead's wife, whom the male lead married by contract to fend off pressure to wed.
In the story, his main purpose is to fend off the male lead's admirers, act as a tool to make the male lead's love interest jealous, and, in the end, cross the line into crime because he is too greedy to step aside, spending the rest of his life in prison.
Shi Jingshuang looks at the script, then at the male lead's powerful connections. He completely ignores the tangled romantic drama and gets to the heart of the matter: if he had connections too, could he finally act properly?
They don't need to do much. Everyone just needs to start on equal footing and compete fairly.
Grateful for the chance to finally act properly, Shi Jingshuang dutifully picks up the role he had in the original novel, with a few improvements, of course, since he doesn't want to end up in jail.
The male lead's admirers? Any admirer who gets screen time is a rich, beautiful, high-quality woman, so he should get along with them.
The male lead's love interest? He's a future genius screenwriter, officially confirmed by the script, so he should build a good relationship with him.
Even when Fu Wenyu drags him away with a dark expression, he doesn't forget to remind himself: making the male lead jealous can help bring the two closer. Nothing wrong with that.
Later, Fu Wenyu publicly declares that the two of them are engaged. Looking at the male lead's love interest scowling below the stage, Shi Jingshuang thinks the male lead's move is a bit extreme this time, but still nods again and again with professional conviction. "Yeah, right, right, right."
This life, which seemed a little off but was peaceful enough overall, continued until Shi Jingshuang accepted a new script...
To Shi Jingshuang, acting is everything. It's like an extension of his soul.
In other words, he can't portray a feeling he has never experienced himself.
Unable to find the so-called feeling of passionate love in the script, Shi Jingshuang decides to divorce Fu Wenyu and find someone for a once-in-a-lifetime romance.
But before he can even begin, Fu Wenyu smothers the plan in its cradle.
"I won't agree."
Held tightly in the man's arms, Shi Jingshuang feels his ribs are about to crack from the squeeze, and belatedly realizes...
Ah.
So you really do like me.
[Reading Notes]
1. The top fell in love with the bottom at first sight, and only then did they get married. The novels the protagonist read were wrong. Fake books are dangerous.
2. The top and bottom have always only had each other.
3. The premise and blurb may be tweaked a little before the story begins, but the general idea shouldn't change.
4. The author isn't very good at writing blurbs, but you definitely won't regret giving this one a look!
More if I think of anything.
