Xue Ling found himself in the bathtub when he opened his eyes again.
He looked around, discovered that it was a relatively closed environment where no one would disturb him, and called for the system to send over the plot.

The system did not like water, and was curled up into a ball on top of Xue Ling’s head. When it heard his words, it jumped down onto the ground, flicked its tail, and shared this world’s plot information.
Xue Ling closed his eyes. The plot information poured into his mind all at once, but with the support of the luck he’d gathered from the first two worlds, his present spirit power was enough to process everything easily, and he quickly learned everything about the story and this body’s ending. Washing his face with water from the tub, Xue Ling thought to himself that the bodies he was provided with were all truly unfortunate. This time, the body’s original host was completely innocent but extremely unlucky, ultimately dying a miserable death.
This was a ** world, with a scum gong and cheap shou as protagonists. Those two both loved and hated each other in a “you are my moon, and I am your flower” scenario, playing games and plotting against each other until neither person was happy. And this body’s original host was simply unfortunate, dying in the mess without knowing what had happened.
This body was named Bai Yue, and was the second son of the Bai family in Hai City. He shared the same mother but different fathers with his half-brother Bai Hao, who was the oldest son and heir. His mother was Bai family’s grand madam Bai Lu, and his father was a foreigner.
Bai Lu was the only lady in the Bai family. Her and Bai Hao’s father’s love was as deep as the ocean, and her husband married into the family. They lived a fairytale life during which Bai Hao was born. But then, Bai Hao’s father was diagnosed with a terminal illness and died. When Bai Hao was six years old, Bai Lu met her current husband, a foreign friend who was traveling to China. They got along very well and became intimate friends. A year later, Bai Yue was born out of wedlock.
Bai Yue grew up abroad with his paternal grandfather and did not return home often. He had even less contact with his parents, and was not familiar with anything in his homeland. He had a loner’s personality, not liking to communicate with others. His thoughts and perceptions became words under his pen, transforming into scripts.
Usually, a young master like him would have a carefree life. Although he did not like to talk and communicate with others, no one would force him to become a good communicator. The Bai family had his eldest brother who could take over as heir, and he was low on the inheritance list on his father’s side. His life should have been one where he just needed to do what he liked, find a wife and have children. But disaster began after he returned home.

All of Bai Yue’s misfortunes happened because he was liked by a person, and that person was this story’s scum gong, Lin Yi.
Bai Yue was the white moonlight in Lin Yi’s heart, the person he admired but dared not touch, and the shou Sun Jianan was Bai Yue’s stand-in.
Simply put, this was a ‘lowly shou who died because of the white moonlight somehow got reborn, and wanted the scum gong to love himself, so therefore killed off the white moonlight’ type of casual entertainment story. It was pretty straightforward, and with Bai Yue’s character position as a cannon fodder, he was bound to die.
Thoughtful, Xue Ling rose from the bathtub, picked up the bathrobe to one side and pulled it on, and then walked out of the room.

The things in the room were almost packed up, with two suitcases laid out on the floor. It was clear that the owner of the room was preparing to leave.
Tomorrow was the day when Bai Yue left the United States to return to China, which also meant that the curtains had already been pulled open on the story that revolved around him. Xue Ling touched the two suitcases, and a smile slowly appeared on this face.
Since nothing had begun yet, he would turn everything upside down and change it all.
He would put Bai Yue’s intended destiny onto the protagonist shou.
Perhaps because he was of mixed blood, Xue Ling’s eyes were lighter, a warm light brown framed by long eyelashes, his skin was very white like his father’s, and he had a head full of very pale blonde hair. There were few similarities between himself and his mother. Only the dimples that show up in the corners of his mouth when he smiled were inherited from her.
The tear mole that was Xue Ling’s trademark now rested quietly in his corner of his eye. Xue Ling looked into the mirror for a long time, his smile holding touches of his demon nature.
The oppressive and dark expression shown in the mirror suddenly changed. When he returned to normal, that terrible darkness was no longer reflected in the mirror. Rather, the person seemed to be a little timid and cold.
Xue Ling seemed satisfied with his expression, wiping his hair dry and preparing to lie down and sleep.
This was a world where entertainment reigned supreme. The protagonist shou, Sun Jianan, was originally an unknown actor. However, because his eyes and lip shape were very similar to Bai Yue’s, he was taken in by the protagonist gong, Lin Yi.
In his last life, Sun Jianan climbed into Lin Yi’s bed in exchange for resources, and slowly developed into a popular young actor in the entertainment industry. He knew that his livelihood was dependent on Lin Yi and was terrified, so he used his heart and soul to try and treat him well and soon found that he had fallen deeply in love with the man.

But Lin Yi didn’t love him. To Lin Yi, he was just a substitute. Sun Jianan was asked to dye his hair blonde, and was brought around by Lin Yi to attend some upper-class gatherings and learn from those people’s mannerisms. This made his temperament more like that of a young master from a wealthy family and he was given the title “prince” by many fans. Lin Yi seemed willing to stay over for increasingly longer periods of time, and was more and more gentle towards him.
His life which was becoming more and more beautiful started to change once Bai Yue returned to the country.
At first, Sun Jianan had not known that he was a substitute. It wasn’t until he saw Bai Yue who had returned home and was planning to make a movie that he realized that his own mannerisms and behaviour were nothing more than imitations of the other person.
Because Bai Yue spoke one sentence, declaring that he did not like imitations, a role that was originally already in his pocket was given to one of his friends. His Lin Yi’s attention was all pulled away by that young master. In order to please Bai Yue, Lin Yi directly broke off all relations with Sun Jianan, and the friends who had accompanied him also gradually drifted away.
