Returning to writing and filling in the story. I'll try to update regularly and finish early next month. Please forgive any awkward transitions.

It's finished! Please forgive me if it made for a poor reading experience.

New story next door: "Runaway Childhood Sweetheart"

Before she was reborn, Shi Yi was busy chasing the entertainment industry's new cold-hearted movie emperor, Fu Xinyao. She was madly in love with him and would have charged headfirst into a wall for his sake.

Then, without noticing, she let Shi Yi, the little girl her parents had taken in when she was ten, get ahead of her.

She saw Shi Yi take Fu Xinyao by the sleeve and smile at him tenderly.

Her parents forgot her birthday, but remembered to tell her to give in to her younger sister because her sister was in poor health.

Shi Yi endured it.

She endured it until she watched Shi Yi take the birthday cake that should have been hers, and steal her Best Actress award too.

Her manager booked her a flight to Malaysia to clear her head, but the plane crashed, and she died at sea.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back onstage, three years earlier, at her debut after a talent show. Fu Xinyao stood in front of her. He took off his glasses, the corners of his mouth curving warmly, unlike the cold man he'd become three years later. Tilting his head, he asked, "I really liked the song you just sang. Would you sing it again?"

Shi Yi suddenly understood.

To hell with putting up with everything! This time, she would live for herself. Fu Xinyao was hers, and so was her career!
