Incredibly inspiring! When top agent Lin Jianwei wakes up, she discovers she has become Fang Yuan, a nobody extra at the very bottom of Hengdian’s film industry: nineteen years old, thin and timid, with a cheap bandage stuck to her temple, living amid the smell of sweat and instant noodles in an eight-person dorm.
In her previous life, she managed top-tier stars and orchestrated trending topics, only to die mysteriously at the height of her career.
In this life, she starts as a “living prop” earning 80 yuan a day, dragging around a malnourished body and facing bullying roommates, shady casting agents, and the bottomless pit of her hometown demanding a bride price.
But this time, she brings with her a lifetime’s worth of industry insight, memories of her connections, and a ruthless heart.
From a corpse without a single line to a featured actor who dazzles the set;
From a performer blacklisted after terminating her contract to a producer who builds her own studio;
She cuts a path through the encirclement laid by industry giants.
And yet, the body’s original owner seems not to have entirely departed.
The face in the mirror occasionally reveals a fear that isn’t hers.
Old photographs sent from her hometown conceal the mystery of Fang Yuan’s abduction and trafficking.
And the unseen hand that killed her in her previous life raises a glass and smiles at her again at this life’s celebration banquet…
This is a tale of rising from the dust to the stars.
It is also a brutal coexistence between one soul and another life in another body.
When she finally stands atop the entertainment empire she built for herself,
she must answer:
“Who am I, really? And for whom should I live?”
