Alternatively titled “Film Emperor’s Reincarnation Script”, this several volume long manhua brings together some popular Chinese novel genres – namely, Transmigration/Rebirth and Entertainment Industry, to colored gorgeousness!
Yuan Mu had reached the peak of his acting career having won the “Best Actor” award at his young age… before his life is unfortunately shortened. But he ends up waking up in a young and handsome body…. naked. And in the bed of his enemy/rival actor, Huo Yi.
The story and plot take Yuan Mu and his new identity to have to re-climb that ladder of showbiz, while slowly unraveling the mysteries to his death. Along the way, feelings are shaken and he also learns about the newly reigned “Best Actor” and his secrets.
The art is great, and I wanted more after finished reading this manhua, as the characters and plot were interesting and well put together. It had the content and flow like a full-on Danmei (ChineseBL) novel so for you fans who don’t like to read long walls of text, this is for you. The smut was … left to the readers’ imaginations only ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but the prettiness helps make up for a lot of that. I am especially a fan of the ‘face-slapping’ and ‘retribution’ that these kinds of rebirth stories tend to have. Will definitely be reading this again.

Review:
Whatever you're doing..stop. Pick up this manhwa and start reading! The artwork is amazing, the plot is twisted and we get a fair share of smut scenes.
The manhwa starts with Gyeong Joon, a police officer, chasing some criminal and having quite a weird experience with a ... demon. Everything seems like a fantasy dream, until that said demon shows up at his place and demands to "hurry up and let him inside"... And that, is how we meet Cain, a demon, who was injured on a one-on-one fight with Satan, so in order to regain part of his magic, he needs to return to Hell. The point is that the trip to Hell is not an easy one, he needs to have a "door" which actually is through a human, once the human dies, he needs to find another door. His current door in none other than Gyeong Joon and in order to open it, he needs to say a spell or get super intimate with it, method that he prefers and likes to abuse.
As the story progresses we meet other characters close to both parties who only add to the spiciness of the plot.
The manhwa really has a good stash of humor expressed through both art and lines, a captivating story and also comes with an ongoing status, but don't let this stop you, because it is worth it.
