Ji Ruixue, the youngest movie emperor in the Federation, is a first-rate beauty with first-rate acting skills. His only shortcoming is that he died young.
The good news is, Ji Ruixue wasn't quite dead. He got bound to a melodramatic story plot-correction System and continued working in his old specialty, acting. His mission was to make sure the plot could proceed smoothly and pass censorship.
The bad news is, all the other actors performing with him are completely unreliable.
The male lead is a younger man, over 188 centimeters tall, with an 18+18 body. On the surface, he's a wolfish young guy, but in reality he's an absent-minded idiot who keeps forgetting his lines and messing things up. A scene where he confesses to Ji Ruixue is only supposed to take a minute, but he somehow drags it out to ten.
The male lead's older brother is always trying to add more scenes for himself. Several times, he gets all over Ji Ruixue and steers the plot into territory that can't be aired.
The gentle, lovelorn gong is a prop-destroying menace. Nearly everything he touches breaks. He's in the middle of pinning Ji Ruixue against a wall when the wall suddenly collapses, turning the wall-pinning scene into an assault.
The playboy has severe germophobia. Even the fight scenes are fake, with no physical contact at all. It takes every ounce of courage he has just to kiss the back of Ji Ruixue's hand.
The aloof, icy man has a very low threshold for laughter and keeps breaking character. Ji Ruixue gets so exasperated that he covers the man's mouth with his hand and acts out the entire scene that way.
Even the System is always letting him down, randomly giving Ji Ruixue golden fingers.
He's supposed to be sickly, but it gives him a debuff that makes him unbelievably strong.
So he's ended up with a slapdash production crew. There's no way to act this out. Let's just destroy everything.

I'll happily take both the widow and the inheritance.
Black-bellied, sweet-talking green-tea Alpha x sickly beauty widower Omega
The beautiful Omega Ji Ruixue, who is "delicate and frail," is forced by his family into a political marriage with the stranger Colonel Fu Ding. Less than half a month after their wedding, Fu Ding leaves to fight a war. Three months later, the fighting ends, but what Ji Ruixue receives is Fu Ding's body.
Just as Ji Ruixue is worrying about his future, Fu Ding's other heir, his half-brother Fu Ming, returns home from military school...
(Inspired by farce and comedy about actors flubbing their lines, such as The Botched Show.)
A gentle reminder:
* The story fell apart toward the end and was abandoned midway. It's a bit of an embarrassing old work, so read with caution.
* This story is basically just for fun, so it has lots of ridiculous, absurd plot points. The author wrote it to relax and hopes it will make readers smile, too.
* You can think of it as a play within a play, but the acting is very obvious.
* Inside the play: an outrageous, possessive love triangle, with everyone fighting over the same person. Outside the play: the whole family gets along (only Xue and Ming have a romance, and they are both virgins).
