An incredibly inspiring story! When top agent Lin Jianwei wakes up, she discovers she has become Fang Yuan, the lowest-ranking extra at Hengdian: nineteen years old, skinny and timid, with a cheap bandage stuck to her temple, living in an eight-person room filled with the smell of sweat and instant noodles.
In her previous life, she managed top-tier stars and orchestrated trending topics, only to die under mysterious circumstances at the peak of her career.
In this life, she starts as a “living prop” earning 80 yuan a day. In poor health, she must face bullying roommates, shady casting agents, and her hometown’s endless demands for a bride price.
But this time, she has the hard-won industry insight, memories of her connections, and ruthless resolve she cultivated over half a lifetime.
From a corpse with no lines to a featured performer who dazzles on set;
From a blacklisted actor released from her contract to a producer who starts her own studio;
She fights her way through a siege by industry giants.
Yet the body’s original owner seems not to have left completely.
At times, a fear that doesn’t belong to her flickers across the face in the mirror.
Old photos sent from her hometown conceal the mystery of Fang Yuan’s kidnapping and trafficking.
And the same unseen hand that killed her in her previous life raises a glass to her once again at this life’s wrap party...
This is a story of rising from the dust to the stars.
It is also a brutal coexistence between one soul, another life, and another body.
When she finally stands atop the entertainment empire she built for herself,
she must answer:
“Who am I, really? And who should I live for?”
