The Cool, Aloof Movie Queen Uses Her Acting to Lure Me In

When her father suddenly fell gravely ill, Shen Niannian was forced to shoulder the family burden at a moment's notice.

With the company in crisis, her assistant suggested a last resort: she should find a way to earn her neighbor's favor.

Her neighbor, Qin Zhaoman, was a rising star on Wall Street. She was famous for her temper, but even more so for her prowess, which made the old foxes of the securities market wary.

Shen Niannian, who had once been a film queen, spent all night thinking before knocking on her neighbor's door.

Facing Qin Zhaoman's hostile expression, Shen Niannian spoke with just the right touch of helpless vulnerability: "Do you happen to have any fever medicine?"

Qin Zhaoman was known in investment circles as impossible to get along with. Arrogant and merciless, she was all of that and more.

She and Shen Niannian became entangled, setting off a storm. Not a single person thought things would end well for Shen Niannian.

Qin Zhaoman herself thought the same. A beautiful, highborn diversion: she'd dote on her while she was interested, then forget her once she'd had her fun.

She, Qin Zhaoman, knew how to play and how to let go.
