Individual dossier: Read Bao Ruanruan’s detailed character dossier ↗
Story role: She has cleared a deadly survival game and awakens in the body of a scandal-ridden, obscure actress at the point when the original owner was about to jump from a balcony. Having suffered endless game deaths, she prioritises her own safety, nutrition, exercise and sensible workplace conditions.
