Reversing the Spotlight
Lin Weixi was once the brightest rising star in show business. With exceptional acting skills and a promising future, she trusted her best friend Xia Mengyao and her boyfriend Gu Yanze completely. But the two conspired against her, accusing her of drug use and diva behavior. After an “accident” left both her legs amputated, they eventually pulled out her oxygen tube as she lay in a hospital bed, and she died full of hatred. In her final moments, she saw Xia Mengyao wearing the Best Actress gown that should have been hers, nestled in Gu Yanze's arms as they laughed at how foolish she was.
When Lin Weixi woke again, she was back on the day she signed with her talent agency, before any of the tragedies had happened. She touched her unharmed legs, her eyes flashing with icy hatred. In this life, she would make the despicable pair taste what it was like to fall from the clouds into the mud.
No longer as naive as she had been in her previous life, she used her knowledge of the future to avoid Xia Mengyao's traps and take the opportunities that should have gone to her. With her superb acting and sharp understanding of scripts, she quickly made a name for herself in show business and won countless fans. When Gu Yanze deliberately tried to get close to her, she played along while gathering evidence of him abusing his authority to exploit newcomers and suppress their careers.
Jealous to see Lin Weixi succeeding at every turn, Xia Mengyao resorted to her old tricks and hired online trolls to smear her. But this time, Lin Weixi was ready. She not only revealed evidence that Xia Mengyao had hired the trolls, but also released recordings of her acting like a diva in private and bullying staff, ruining her reputation overnight.
After Xia Mengyao fell from power, Gu Yanze tried to cut his losses and save himself. But Lin Weixi produced hard evidence that he had embezzled company funds and carried on affairs with other actresses. The company eventually terminated his contract, and he even faced prison time.
