Reborn to Torment the Entire Entertainment Industry

In her previous life, Qi Yan accidentally fell into the sea at thirty. Only then did she discover that her husband couldn't swim. In her last life, she married young for love and let countless career opportunities pass her by. Reborn with a record of the entertainment industry's ups and downs over the next ten years, Qi Yan sneers. This time, she'll be the one pulling the strings. One night at a bar, she plants her foot on the back of a troublemaking thug and looks down at a young singer who will be famous a year from now. "Sign with my company, or stay buried here forever." Chu Yanci looks up at her in surprise, his Adam's apple bobbing. She has actually chosen to step into his darkness. At the university library, with him twenty years old, Qi Yan reaches out. Her cool fingertip gently brushes the faintly flushed corner of his eye, removing a fleck of white fluff. "You've got snow on your eyelashes, Student Chu. You look like you've been crying." Chu Yanci lowers his eyes, hiding his sinister expression. His Adam's apple rolls beneath her palm. "How many people have you said that to?" She brings him breakfast and helps fend off admirers, but on the night he falls for her, she says casually, "Thinking about signing a few more acting students?" Everyone knows that rising director Qi Yan has a ruthless streak. She turns a no-name idol into a top-tier star, nurtures a little-known screenwriter into a queen of hit adaptations, and casually writes an original song that takes the music world by storm. Chu Yanci, who has always followed her, becomes a rising Best Actor. At the celebratory banquet, the beauty casts a tipsy, disdainful gaze over the crowd, her gold-embroidered hem sweeping past a host of rising stars. "Remember, I built your pedestals out of discarded drafts." Later, the entertainment industry is turned upside down: The top-tier star fixes her dress on the red carpet. A hitmaking singer turns his acceptance speech into a love poem. And in a rooftop downpour, Chu Yanci, drenched and clutching her trouser leg, begs her desperately: "Qi Yan, I've never been afraid to die." In her previous life, Chu Yanci's death at the height of his fame remained an unsolved mystery in the entertainment industry. Qi Yan never expected him to take his own life in this one. Maybe it was because of her memories of their previous life, but when he said those words, Qi Yan felt as if he truly had died once before. Stranger still... "My name is Pei Yi." A first-year student with a face seven-tenths similar to Chu Yanci's holds out a love letter to her.
