After Getting Close to the Movie Emperor, My Luck Took Off

Announcement: This novel is expected to go VIP on December 28!

[Reading Guide: This story wears a modern setting on the outside, but tells a profound tale set in a much larger world. The lead-in is a little long. This is not a wish-fulfillment story. The leads are flawed: the male lead is no good guy, and the female lead is no saint. The male lead is the heroine's golden finger, but she isn't a lovesick doormat or absurdly overpowered. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. A lighthearted, humorous story with a grand scope. If it's not for you, feel free to move on. I suggest leaving comments in a tactful way. The world is full of love. The author is imperfect too, so please be kind. XOXO.]

Two major things have happened in the entertainment industry recently. First, has-been star Meng Jinjin finally announced her divorce from the renowned director Shen Shiyu. Second, right after her divorce, Meng Jinjin made a lightning-fast marriage to the returned-from-abroad villain actor Wen Liheng!

Just as her haters mocked Meng Jinjin for daydreaming and thinking she could make a comeback, the trending topics kept piling up on Weibo:

Meng Jinjin and her husband Wen Liheng appear on the romance show Weathering the Storm Together;

The Koi Couple tops Weibo's list of most affectionate couples;

Meng Jinjin is invited as a special guest on Idol's Dream;

Meng Jinjin is named Variety Show Queen of the Year...

Haters: ???

Wen Liheng is a demon god who came to this world to undergo a tribulation. He has always been sinister, cunning, vengeful, adept at disguising himself, and out for profit. His enemies call him a wolf in sheep's clothing.

But ever since the day he gained the ability to hear a certain young woman's thoughts...

He poured his heart into her, willingly took one losing deal after another, and even worried she might not be free to live as she pleased.

"Happiness" (Oscar-worthy) bonus scene:

Years later, Meng Jinjin takes her husband on a talk show.

The host jokingly asks: Back then, did Jinjin really get together with him because she wanted his resources?

Meng Jinjin, bashfully: Yes~

Wen Liheng smiles gently: Good thing I was tempting enough.

The host: Haha, aren't you worried Jinjin will pull the same trick and run off?

Wen Liheng, nonchalant: No. No one in the world is better than me.

Meng Jinjin looks down at her fingers, red from his grip, and says helplessly: Could you let go of my hand before you say that?

Coming soon:

When Tong Qi was twenty-one, she was young and reckless.

Naively believing that love would grow with time, she defied her elders and married a man she loved, who did not love her in return.

But in the third year of their marriage, she kicked the bucket without ever having touched her pretty-boy husband's body.

When she woke again, she opened her eyes and found that three years had passed.

Sucking on a candy as she walked by the autopsy room, she peeked inside and grinned.

Well, what do you know? The new forensic pathologist was her pretty-boy ex-husband.

Tong Qi thought Ji Qinghuai was the kind of person who would never be rattled, always a beat slow, seemingly mild-mannered but actually quite coldhearted.

She never expected that when a steel frame came crashing down, the man who was always a beat slow would dart in front of her at once, shielding her from the object that could have killed her.

Watching the crimson stain spread rapidly across his shoulder, she couldn't stop her eyes from reddening. She was about to say something when a hand gently touched her cheek. She looked up to find him staring at her without blinking, his hands trembling as he slowly cupped her face. As if checking that she was real, his lips quivered as he rasped, "You're warm."

Tong Qi froze.

Only later did she learn that on the day he found her, he had held her mutilated body and stayed alone in a room for seven days.
