[Showbiz novel; the heroine eventually becomes an industry power broker]
[Strong heroine, ambitious woman who climbs her way to the top]
Heroine: Qin Xizhu (a clever, revenge-driven ambitious woman)
Hero: Lu Ying (a calm, restrained man in power)
Qin Xizhu’s personal growth arc:
Qin Xizhu has two ultimate goals in life: money and power.
She loves money because it makes her feel secure.
She loves power because it keeps her from being suppressed.
Qin Xizhu has an inexplicable passion for acting. She is almost exhilarated by bringing her own interpretations to life and portraying one distinctive character after another.
Her love of acting isn’t entirely pure; it’s mixed with a pursuit of fame and fortune. But that’s who she is: a woman full of desire, whose heart is set on acting, money, power, fame, and fortune.
Qin Xizhu and Qi Jiangmo:
In her previous life, Qi Jiangmo used tempting opportunities, media pressure, and his overwhelming power to back her into a corner, ultimately imprisoning her in the basement of a villa.
In this life, she slowly climbs up from the bottom of the entertainment industry, using small advantages to take on a powerful opponent, with the goal of destroying the power Qi Jiangmo relies on.
Qin Xizhu and Lu Ying (neither has had other partners):
Lu Ying seems modest and reasonable, but deep down he is proud. Most people leave little impression on him. Qin Xizhu is the exception. After a series of brief encounters, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her, wanting to get closer and understand her.
The moment she realizes Lu Ying is interested in her is also when she begins to use him.
Qin Xizhu and Paigu:
Qin Xizhu rescues Paigu from a cage, and in saving Paigu, she saves herself too.
Once the scriptwriting enters the story in Chapter 6, the plot gets better and better. Please trust me ( ๑ŏ ﹏ ŏ๑ )
