The Handsome Playboy Went Viral After Being Reborn

*

An Xun is a notorious rich-kid playboy, both inside and outside the industry. With his pretty face and powerful connections to back him up, he does whatever he wants, acts arrogantly, and is surrounded by scandals.

One day, he spends a fortune to land a role in a small production. Rumor has it he even stole someone else's part.

Everyone who hears the news assumes An Xun is just acting on a whim. They think his acting is terrible and scoff at him.

Audience/passersby/castmates: Him? He's got a pretty face and nothing else. He should just go home and go to bed.

But later, when the drama airs, An Xun brings every frown and smile of his character vividly to life. He snaps his folding fan shut and looks just like someone who's stepped straight out of the show and into the real world.

Fans of the original novel: We asked you to play the character, not bring him to life!

On a survival variety show, the crew asks the guests to climb a rock face with their bare hands. Everyone else looks uncertain, but An Xun doesn't hesitate and goes straight to the top.

Passersby: ??? Is this really that useless pretty boy?

On a haunted-house exploration show, the pretty and persuasive An Xun turns out to be more terrifying than the real ghosts, thoroughly fooling all his teammates and the ghost NPCs!

Audience: ??? So who's the ghost?

The playboy pretty boy An Xun has really become a sensation!!!

An Xun has been reborn.

After going through life and death, An Xun mastered all kinds of skills and finally returned to the real world. He's no longer the helpless pretty boy he used to be.

An Xun found the love of his life along that perilous path, but they parted at the end of it.

He heard that the person loved acting, so after being reborn, An Xun decided to become more famous in order to find him.

Putting all the skills he honed along that path to use, he shines on film sets and variety shows, calmly handling all kinds of difficult questions. The malicious speculation that once surrounded him is gradually drowned out by praise.

At the awards ceremony, An Xun personally accepts an award from him. The whole venue erupts in cheers, crowning him with glory.

The CP fans, who take any scene of the two together as proof of romance, catch them exchanging a glance and go wild: So sweet, so sweet! The way he looks at him is electric! He loves him so much, he loves him so much! Wahhh, their love is mutual!

But no one knows that after the ceremony, fireworks fill the night sky as An Xun hooks his fingers with Pei Yushen's and kisses him where no one can see.

An Xun whispers, “How about the real deal taking the lead and giving everyone a treat? Let's make this real, okay?”

Pei Yushen kisses him without hesitation.

“Okay.”

Lately, Pei Yushen keeps having the same dream. In it, he seems to have died once, fallen into a place full of deadly traps, and met someone who seems very familiar. He wants to get closer, but he can never quite reach them.

When he wakes up, he always feels he's forgotten something. No matter how hard he tries to remember, he can't find it.

Then An Xun appears. He takes the initiative to come to Pei Yushen's side, approaching him with quiet determination and warmth.

He is the only new sprout capable of growing in Pei Yushen's barren land.

1. An Xun is the top, Pei Yushen is the bottom. The top is a calm, slightly unhinged man who's mostly dead but still somewhat alive x the bottom is warm on the outside, cold within, and good at pretending. One-on-one, the pairing is fixed and will not be switched or broken up. They are each other's only partners, physically and emotionally, and both are pure.

2. I wanted to try combining the entertainment industry with ghosts and spirits. The storylines run in parallel, and the leads save each other. They will both grow. As always, the author is terrible at logic and writing TAT, so read at your own risk.

3. This is a fictional world. All settings, including those related to the entertainment industry, are made up and have no connection to reality. I researched some information, so there may be mistakes. Corrections are welcome.

4. The protagonists both have normal values, and neither has done anything bad! The scandals aren't true!

Theme: Love can cross the divide between life and death.
