In her previous life, Lin Qingyue spent three years as a stand-in for Song Yu, a rising young star.
She took the kneeling scenes, the scenes on high platforms, and the tearful lines.
In the end, she even gave her life for Song Yu, burning to death in a fire on set.
She earned Song Yu the clout to become Best Actress, but her name never appeared in the credits.
All she wanted was a credit, but all she got was a carefully orchestrated murder attempt.
When she opened her eyes again, she was nineteen.
She hadn’t signed Xingmang Entertainment’s predatory contract yet. There was still time to change everything.
In this life, she wouldn’t be anyone’s shadow or climb the social ladder.
In front of a room full of powerful figures, she gently pushed the contract over to them.
She started with a palace maid who had one line, then endured being shut out after someone blacklisted her with a single word.
With her expressive eyes and hard-earned skills, she made her way, step by step, to the brightest spotlight.
She would reclaim the credit she was owed with her own hands.
And she wouldn’t let a single person who had hurt her get away with it.
Everyone laughed that an unknown actress with no connections could never make a comeback. They could only watch as she went from an extra to a Best Actress, turning a cold stove into a shining stage.
Only Gu Changyan, the director and three-time Golden Award-winning actor, saw through her from the moment Lin Qingyue played a palace maid.
In the girl’s eyes lay a wildfire that could never be extinguished.
He protected her performances, and she made his dreams come true.
When she finally stood on the highest awards stage, the whole audience remembered just one name.
Lin Qingyue.
In this life, she wouldn’t be anyone’s stand-in. She would be her own light.
