After Inheriting an Estate, I Want to Retire from Showbiz, but I Really Don't Want to Become Famous

Xia Linzhi devoted herself to acting, going from an unknown supporting actress to being called a pretty face with no talent because of her looks, and finally winning everyone over with her acting skills. It took her eight whole years. She won the Palme d'Or, but overwork and illness caused her to collapse and die onstage at the awards ceremony. Reborn to the time when she was being mocked as a pretty face and had countless haters, Xia Linzhi immediately reunited with her grandfather ahead of schedule and inherited 400 buildings. She also decided to quit the entertainment industry, collect rent, and live the leisurely life of a health-conscious slacker. So, during the talent show, the celebrities competed to sing and dance, giving it everything they had to show off their charms. Xia Linzhi, meanwhile, calmly performed a set of health-preserving tai chi, like an old man doing morning exercises in the park. On the show, everyone else did their utmost to get more screen time, even outside of scheduled tasks. Xia Linzhi simply held a cup of goji berry tea, gazed vacantly at the sun, and refused to work overtime or join the rat race. In private, other entertainers schemed against one another for attention, fought, and staged fake romances all the time. Xia Linzhi took a laid-back approach to work, sharing pictures of her flowers and home-cooked meals, and occasionally recommending good herbal foot-soak packets. A year later, when her contract expired, Xia Linzhi planned to slip away after finishing her work, only to discover... she'd become famous. Big-name directors offered her excellent scripts, the sort she had spent eight years striving to get her hands on in her previous life, saying she was the only one who could play the roles. Her haters became devoted fans, praising her as a refreshingly genuine presence and cheering her on like crazy. Luxury brands sent her offers, convinced her temperament would make her the perfect spokesperson. Xia Linzhi, who was about to quit the industry: ??? * Xia Linzhi had been secretly dating an award-winning actor for four years, but even when she died, he still hadn't made their relationship public. After she was reborn, they appeared together on a variety show for the first time. The actor quietly reminded her, "Keep your distance. We can't have another dating rumor." Xia Linzhi immediately broke up with him. As the actor stared in shock, losing his composure, she walked past him toward the guest who seemed most out of place: Xie Shengfeng, a cool and quiet man rumored to be the sole heir to the Xie family. In her previous life, she had collapsed onstage at the awards ceremony. The actor had stayed rooted in his seat at the front to avoid suspicion, but only Xie Shengfeng had shoved through the crowd and rushed over like a madman to pick her up, holding back tears until his eyes were red as blood. Xia Linzhi leaned lazily against Xie Shengfeng. "I can't walk anymore. Carry me." The handsome, aloof man's ears turned red as he wrapped an arm around her, holding her tighter as if she were a precious treasure. Later, during an interview, a financial journalist asked, "When you first entered the entertainment industry, was it just for fun?" Xie Shengfeng: "No. It was so I could be closer to my wife."
