Synopsis:

Qu Heqing has excellent acting skills and outstanding talent. Although he is not doing good right now, he still lives happily.

Unexpectedly, in the blink if an eye, he turned into a little cannonfodder in dogblood novel--an 18th line actor who is on the verge of getting out of the entertainment circle due to debt.

In order not to live on the streets, Qu Heqing once again embarked on the road of performing arts.

Explosive web drama? National movie?

As long as it is a film or television drama he is participating in, there is nothing unpopular.

The fans calls him human-shaped koi!

But no one knew that Qu Heqing thought that his good friend Yu Cong was the real human-shaped koi.

When they first met, Yu Cong was just a fake model with a high imitation watch.

But in the blink of an eye, Yu Cong became a small boss.

Qu Heqing was both happy and worried.

Qu Heqing: "Brother Yu, no need to invest in the entertainment circle for me. It burns too much money."

Yu Cong: "I have money."

Qu Heqing: "These are all your hard-earned money. It's not like you have a mine."

Yu Cong: "I also have mines."

Qu Heqing: ???

Didn't you say you were poor and has no money?!

Impressions: ​Ai, am getting farther and farther away from idols. Lol. I just circled to the disabled villain Boss trope again ^^;

So our MC is a young actor, got into an accident and became disabled. He became an acting teacher instead. Anyways, he suddenly transmigrated into a dogblood BL novel as one of the cannonfodders who was blocked by the protagonist gong until he retired from the entertainment circle.

MC is bright and optimistic and didn't take the gong's threat seriously XD He meets our disabled villain Boss while our ML is being mocked by his evil relatives. As a former disabled person himself, MC stands up for our ML and fites for him. Laters, they happen to meet again and MC even mistakenly thought that our ML wanted to commit suicide. He befriends ML to stop his thoughts of depression(???) XD. Anyways, on his career, our MC also starts to become famous because for one, his acting skills are there and he is quite lucky~ and laters, our ML's support behind-the-scenes also helped. (MC thought that ML was just a small company boss and ML kept up the lie cos our MC hates liars :)

On romance, both MC and ML are slow. Everyone around ML just knows that ML treats MC as special. Laters, ML realizes that he likes MC, but he didn't confess right away, just enjoying MC's company first. Unfortunately, ML's planned confession was destroyed by his evil relatives~ And although MC rejected ML but ML is happy that MC protected him again. After some shameless chasing, MC agreed. He also confesses his transmigration-into-a-book so ML will be cautious of the protagonist shou and gong. ML's concern is in the transmigration though cos he's worried that MC might go back in his previous world. Ending is MC and ML spending New Year together. Extras is an AU, MC wakes up in his old world but for some reason, he can walk now. He goes back to acting, hoping that when he's famous, he can meet ML, but nothing happens. Then MC gets into an accident again and seem to see ML in the hospital. The end.

This is more funny than romantic. ML's villain Boss setting collapse right away, exposing his tsundereness. Our MC, like I mentioned, is very bright and optimistic, which was his way of coping when he was disabled. MC comes off as overly friendly to me though. If someone invites himself into my house, I'd be on guard XD ML was captured by his cooking skills though, and MC caught up with many acting opportunities through his cooking so this has elements of food porn for awhile~ #spoiler Like all novels with disabled Presidents, our ML eventually cured his legs which is good but I also think its okay not to be cured cos MC knows what its like and he won't hold it against ML. I dunno, I guess it was a chance for the novel to be more emotional...but nope.

Overall, this is very funny and lighthearted. No heavy elements. Its fun to read but just that, it isn't really touching or anything (for me). I guess, I was looking for something more heartwarming~~ ​​
