The Making of a Movie Queen

[Reborn + showbiz]

At 38, Jiang Yu had spent three months preparing for a role, only to have it handed to someone who bought their way onto the set with a single sentence.

When she opened her eyes again, she was 18, with the next twenty years of industry knowledge in her pocket.

She knew which drama would top the year's ratings, which obscure IP would be worth a fortune ten years later, and which extra would become a top-tier star.

The hit roles she missed out on in her previous life? This time, she would land every one of them.

The rights she had once been afraid to pursue? She would snap them all up at bargain prices.

In this life, she would no longer wait for someone else to deal the cards.

On screen, she turns a villain role into a cultural phenomenon. Behind the scenes, she turns every paycheck into capital, working her way to a seat at the table.

The memories of her past life, spanning twenty years, are the sharpest weapon in her hands.

There is only one person who defies all her predictions: Lin Shen.

He asks softly, “Do you like me, or the person you think I’ll become?”

Jiang Yu has no answer.
