Work Summary:

Film Emperor Li Yu transmigrated into a young prince who had just courted death. Stranded in an unfamiliar world, the Film Emperor felt immense pressure and faced great challenges. He fell in love at first sight with the world’s coldest and most beautiful man and immediately launched his pursuit! (Okay, that part is nonsense.) The Film Emperor found himself in the brutal power struggles of an ancient imperial court. With no other skills besides acting, he calmly declared: “I’ll survive on my acting skills alone!” He loves life, loves acting, loves the throne—even more so, he loves beauty. The Film Emperor used his acting skills to navigate court intrigue, highlighting the importance of mastering a skill. The emperor (Film Emperor) might seem naturally carefree, but his inner drama ran deep. The prime minister, a high-ranking, aloof power figure, remained as unmoved as the mountains no matter how hard the emperor tried to charm him. The plot unfolded at a steady pace, ensuring smooth development. The Film Emperor effortlessly shifted between his real self and his new royal identity—but can he win over the unshakable minister’s heart? In short, this is a story of “If there’s work, the prime minister does it. If there’s no work… the prime minister still does it.” Really.

KEIGHTY: Notes on the title:

The term “Zhen” – In Chinese, “zhen” (朕) refers to the first-person singular pronoun used exclusively by the Emperor, essentially meaning “I” or “we” when used by the ruler, signifying their supreme power and status as the “Son of Heaven” in traditional Chinese political theory. Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, is credited with appropriating this term for his own use.

The term “Real Actor” – I actually translated this in the same way a variety show 《演技派》was translated in English as “Real Actor.” You can search for this on the internet. Basically, “Real Actor” is a noun for actors who rely on their acting skills (rather than good looks, etc.). They’re actors with excellent acting abilities (as opposed to just good looks)—actors of real skill.
