Synopsis
Duan Congzhi discovers he is merely a background character in a story, destined to be a forgotten catalyst for others' romance. After dying and being reborn on his twentieth birthday, he resolves to abandon his long-term crush on Qin Ke to forge his own path in the entertainment industry. This novel reads like a blend of the rebirth and celebrity tropes, mirroring the emotional beats of chase-me-back romances. It is perfect for readers who enjoy seeing a neglected lead find self-worth and professional success, while those who are averse to mpreg elements should skip it. The narrative pacing is brisk, transitioning quickly from the protagonist's realization to his career ascent, with the standout quality being the satisfying subversion of the substitute dynamic.

Editorial Review
This is a competent execution of popular BL tropes that delivers a tidy, completed narrative. A significant strength is the novel's length; at 140 chapters, it avoids the bloated pacing common in the entertainment industry genre, providing a focused arc from rebirth to resolution. However, the introduction of the pregnancy plot point feels somewhat disconnected from the initial focus on the protagonist's professional ambitions as a stand-in actor. Furthermore, the romantic dynamic occasionally veers into confusing territory where the lead is viewed as a rebellious child, which may clash with the romantic tension for some. Despite these quirks, the story remains a consistent read for fans of the genre, offering a predictable but comforting progression.
