The New Life of a Supporting Actress Across Film and TV

As night fell, Sheng Wan, the evil god hidden beneath the dust of ages, gazed down indifferently at the mortal world, her eyes seeing through endless cycles of reincarnation. All the gods had perished, and she alone remained awake. The power that had once shaken the Six Realms had faded into the lazy shadow of a housebound life. The glow of the television screen had once comforted her in her lonely hours, but even that eventually grew dim, no longer able to stir her frozen heart.

Then a little dumpling of unknown origin came trembling into her quiet world, carrying the secrets of three thousand realms. “How about visiting those three thousand realms and enjoying life among mortals?” the dumpling suggested. Its words were like a spark in the dark, instantly kindling a playful glint in Sheng Wan’s eyes. “Hah. A mere illusion conjured by the Heavenly Dao dares call itself a world?” she chuckled, her voice hiding a thousand years of cold disdain. “Still, all that resentment would make an excellent tonic. It’s been so long since I tasted any. I rather miss it.”

The dumpling shrank back, sensing that it had accidentally angered a being far beyond its reckoning. Sheng Wan had already risen, her sleeves billowing as she heralded the return of the evil god of old. She stepped into the unknown three thousand realms, never imagining that the supporting female characters would be given a new lease on life.
