We all have regrets or something we want to change in our lives, the past events we want to forget and move on from but can't. Even if we somehow manage to escape them, situations arise that remind us of the past, causing memories to flash through our minds and fill us with regret. What if we had to live through those moments again, but this time with the chance to make everything right and live the life we always idealized? The kind of life where we say, "If I had taken that decision instead of another, my life could be different," or "If I had not done that particular thing, my life could be different." On top of that, imagine getting a system like those in the novels we always read, where the protagonist becomes overpowered with a cheat skill, transforming from an underdog into the most powerful person in the story. This is the story of a similar boy who lived his life in regret, hoping for a second chance to make everything right and live his ideal life.

Betrayed by her own family, who had her incarcerated for a crime committed by her older sister, Lauren wanted to end her life when they also went ahead and disowned her after her release from prison.

For years, Lauren lay in wait as she worked as a bar hostess and planned her simple but well-elaborated revenge against her parents' "golden child."

She needs to RUN! So what happens when this said husband too has no intention of letting her get away with this scot-free and intends to find his "fake" wife and make sure that she pays for her deception?

Will she go and claim him back, or will she continue to let her sister be with him?

One sunny day, Shen Jingwei, a Z-list actor, received an opportunity to attend an open-call audition the very next day. It was for the role of an antagonist in a new BL C-Drama, "Dance Of The Dragons", which was adapted from a novel of the same title. He agreed to join the audition due to several factors, among which his manager's threat to jump off the 20th floor, his dire need for money, and also the fact that his rank in the film industry could not go any lower. One look at the panel of judges made him want to turn on his heel to leave, but it was all too late. Because who would expect the poor Z-List actor to meet his mortal enemy/ex-boyfriend, Yan Renzhong, the A-List Actor responsible for his decline long before he even learned how to fly? ------------------ "You and I... are playing a couple of lovers, who will go on to get married and have children with each other." Shen Jingwei could sense blood coming up his throat. What was the point of saying it out loud, again? "Yes," he forced himself to agree nonetheless. Yan Renzhong pinned him with a stare. "We have unresolved issues from the past. I hope you won't let them affect your and my performance in the drama. Act the professional you are supposed to be." "..." "And don't call me 'Emperor Yan' anymore." Yan Renzhong left after delivering one blow after another, not even waiting to see if Shen Jingwei succumbed to his injuries or not. What? Whattt? Whattttttttt?
