My own grandmother slapped the table and scolded me. "What good is all that studying for a girl? You'd be better off getting married early, bringing in a bride price, and helping your brother!"
I slapped my audition contract right back in her face.
On the show, a mentor asked why I'd come. I answered honestly: "Free food and lodging, plus a monthly salary of six thousand."
After withdrawing from the competition, I returned to school and set my sights on Liang Jianqiu, a man at the very top of the social pyramid. He came from a powerful family, cool and refined, the most respectable and spotless ladder to the upper class.
Luo Wenjun, a brash and carefree rich second-generation heir, made a grand show of pursuing me and showered me with Tiffany jewelry, even though he already had a jewelry heiress girlfriend approved by his family.
My fake best friend kindly advised me, "Guys like him are just playing around. Take the gifts, but don't fall for him."
I smiled as I returned the jewelry, playing the innocent, simple girl who wasn't interested in money.
What Zhou Ziqiu wanted was never to live by relying on someone else. I was calculating, planning every step. The rare attention of the aloof top student and the resources spilling from the rich heir's hand could both give me a boost as I climbed higher.
Every bit of favor, infatuation, and even hatred would become another step on my way to the top.
This is the life I will win for myself.
