A Rose-Colored Coronation [Entertainment Industry]

[Revenge, power-up catharsis] [Male lead: Li Dongxu; male supporting lead: Lee Jung-jae]

Reborn as an actress, Kim Yoo-jung's greatest realization was that the handsome thirty-year-old man in front of her had even less acting skill than she did.

His fair skin was extremely sensitive, and whenever she moved closer, a suspicious flush of pink would spread across it. During their scenes, his eyes, which should have been fixed on her, would often lose focus. His Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to restrain himself.

He liked drinking red-colored beverages on set, and his stained lips were even more enticing than a woman's.

After the director called cut for the eighth time, she could take no more and dragged him into a corner.

"Unless you're a vampire, stop looking at me like you want to devour me!"

Li Dongxu leaned casually against the wall, his long, strong fingers clamping around her slender wrist. Without giving her a chance to refuse, he pulled her against his cold, hard chest. Smiling, he whispered a few words in a low voice, while the artery beneath his fingertip throbbed with rushing blood.

"Very clever. Can you feel it, my lamb?"

That was the fervor and desire of my heart that never beat.

Whether bewitchingly alluring or heartbreakingly delicate, wild and wicked or steeped in sensual charm, she became a sensation in her seventh year in the industry, winning the Blue Dragon Award for Best Actress.

A director she had worked with marveled, "Her eyes can shatter the camera."

"Beautiful, like a shattered classical painting," a film critic sighed.

Slander. Taking the blame. Assassination.

When she leaped resolutely from the rooftop, bearing the ugly title of "the youngest Blue Dragon Award Best Actress, loathed by the entire public," she had never imagined the gods would give her another chance.

From now on, she would seize every beautiful thing with abandon. Education, figure, knowledge, mindset, courage, connections, ability: she wanted it all, and her ambition was clear.①

From now on, those greedy people who longed to destroy her with their own hands would be ants scrambling for their lives in her palm, stepping-stones on her way to the top.

"Let's meet at the summit."

In her previous life, Kim Yoo-jung was killed three times.

The first time, by the criminals who framed her.

The second time, by the media, which damaged her reputation and failed to investigate.

The third time, by the people behind the cold, violent internet.

So this time, if the end of her shattered soul was still hell, she planned to make it quick.

She never expected, though, that he would walk beside her on this rugged road.

The curtain rises on a grand revenge, and no one will escape.

To all my lovely readers supporting the official version:

I've talked it over with my editor. The novel will go premium on April 15, and there'll be a 10,000-word update that day! I hope you'll support it. A deep bow!

1. An alternate Korean film industry in a parallel world. The leads are each other's only romantic and sexual partners, with no ex-girlfriends anywhere in the picture. Ages follow Chinese conventions. A satisfying revenge story.

2. The heroine initially has difficulty feeling emotions and doesn't realize she's in love, but she's incredibly compelling!

3. As everyone knows, an entertainment-industry novel isn't necessarily an accurate depiction of the entertainment industry, so please don't nitpick. The author is obsessed with details and revising. Pirated copies are all outdated versions and aren't worth reading. Enjoy it as a substitute for Dark + Glory!

4. Five updates a week. It will go premium at 70,000 words. I hope you'll support it! Love you all.

5. You'll witness the filth under the control of capital, and experience the exhilarating journey of the heroine rising from the bottom, donning a crown, and taking bloody revenge on the villains. May we meet at the summit.

[The Glory + The Heirs] Yeon-jin is reborn as Rachel

After Park Yeon-jin kills herself in prison, her soul enters the body of Yoo Rachel, who was killed by Cha Eun-sang.

She wants to turn over a new leaf and start over.

But Kim Tan refuses to act like a decent person.

So she decides to be a villainess, too.

Who could outdo Park Yeon-jin at being evil?

When people question whether Rachel got her inheritance through her mother's marriage alliance:

Yeon-jin (sneering): Is it my fault your lives are miserable because you're poor? You didn't inherit anything because you don't have a beautiful mother.

When her breakup with Kim Tan makes the headlines:

Yeon-jin (fake crying): At least I tried to make our "love" work. He ruined everything by cheating.

When Cha Eun-sang cries and begs her to give way for love:

Yeon-jin (disgusted): Get out of my sight while I'm still in a good mood, or I might choose someone you treasure most to become my personal hair straightener.

After being reborn, Park Yeon-jin has just one unchanging creed: instead of reflecting on herself, blame other people.

She's Park Yeon-jin, who skips rope at two in the morning to stay in shape, a model of discipline. She's also Yoo Rachel, the determined heir at Jeguk High who never looks back.

Everything Moon Dong-eun taught her, she'll give to Cha Eun-sang in full.

"Eun-sang, I hope you spend the rest of your life growing old slowly in hell, never knowing what's going on. Do you know how much Rachel wants to see how your story ends?"

The epic showdown between the corrupted Cha Eun-sang and the born villainess Park Yeon-jin

Pairing: Choi Young-do

Theme: Cut through every obstacle and crown yourself.
