I Conquered Showbiz with My Beauty Filter

[This story is complete. The next story, a secret-crush romance titled Enjoy Every Moment, is coming soon. Please add it to your collection!]

1. Jiang Yu made her debut with a great head start and has been in the industry for ten years. The actresses who debuted alongside her have long since won Best Actress awards, while she alone has managed to turn her striking beauty into a reputation as a perennial pretty-faced supporting actress.

As the new drama Wind Sweeps the World began filming, Jiang Yu's agent coaxed her onto the set, claiming it was for her to "study acting."

Meanwhile, Lu Rujun was filming a scene in which he rescued a beautiful woman.

Dressed all in white and every inch the dashing gentleman, he left Jiang Yu staring so intently that she bumped into him and fell to the ground.

Lu Rujun helped her up and politely asked, "Are you all right?"

Jiang Yu grabbed his hand and put on the act of a delicate little rabbit. Afterward, she shamelessly flirted with him.

In response, Lu Rujun made a veiled remark on Lovefang: "I don't like people who rely on their looks."

Who could have guessed that a few months later, the actor Lu would get so drunk that he was photographed sitting outside Jiang Yu's apartment building for half the night?

The photos shot straight to the trending lists. Fans shed tears as they watched the drama unfold: "Does the actor's face hurt yet?"

…Enjoy Every Moment…

1.

Back in college, Shen Jianjue was full of youthful confidence. After a single basketball game, he might find several love letters tucked into his jacket. Back then, Jiang Jinhuan was always laughing as she teased him, calling him "Brother Shen."

Jiang Jinhuan had always thought he liked the belle of their fine arts college. Later, when she brought it up with the belle, the girl looked utterly bewildered. "Shen Jianjue? He's my cousin."

Jiang Jinhuan froze. He didn't like the belle? Then why was he always going over there?

Until one day, the man got drunk and crouched in front of her, proudly holding out a bottle filled with paper stars. Every single star had one name written on it: Jiang Jinhuan.

Back then, she'd folded a bottleful too, but she'd written someone else's name on the stars.

So he hadn't been visiting her campus every other day and bringing her milk tea because he was her brother's friend.

It was because... he liked her?

One night, rain poured down in torrents. Soaked through and reeking of alcohol, he stood downstairs from her apartment. His voice was hoarse and dejected. "Why does everyone know I like you except you?"

2.

Jiang Jinhuan met Shen Jianjue again at the wedding of the man she'd had a crush on. She was a guest, and he was one of the groomsmen.

Shen Jianjue greeted her coolly. "Long time no see."

He sounded just like a stranger.

After the wedding, Jiang Jinhuan got drunk at a bar and was harassed by a drunk. Just as she was at a loss about what to do, Shen Jianjue rushed in and got her out of trouble. He nearly ended up at the police station himself.

Some time later, Jiang Jinhuan asked him why he'd hit the man so hard.

Shen Jianjue coughed and blushed faintly. "I've been pining for you for years without daring to cross the line. Why should he get to put his hands on you and call you 'wife' just because he was drunk?"
