On the first day after receiving a Best Actress nomination, Mu Tingnan transmigrated into a book.
She had become a beautiful but brainless cannon-fodder character who had poured her heart and soul into a scumbag, only to be driven out of his villa in a storm. Desperate and devastated, she had killed herself and ended up dead in the wilderness.
When Mu Tingnan woke, everything around her was dark. Fat drops of rain pelted her relentlessly.
A deep wound, nearly to the bone, marked her wrist, its flesh an unnatural white beneath the washing rain.
Behind her came the rapid, scattered clicks of camera shutters.
Mu Tingnan struggled to her feet.
A paparazzo jogged over from behind the bushes and handed her an umbrella.
Mu Tingnan reached out and grabbed the paparazzo by the arm, baring her teeth in a grin.
"I know what you want... It's the private details about me and Kong Lu, isn't it? If you give me half the money you make, I'll tell you everything."
With the little paparazzo's help, Mu Tingnan made it through her first day after transmigrating.
That night, she also successfully reached the top of the trending charts and was mocked all night long.
Everyone thought that without Kong Lu's love and resources, Mu Tingnan would wither away like a flower deprived of sunlight.
But Mu Tingnan pulled herself together and switched from modeling to acting.
A third female lead in a web drama that no one wanted to take became the year's most irresistibly wicked villain in Mu Tingnan's hands.
A second female lead in an idol drama that everyone looked down on became the dream girl of countless men and women thanks to Mu Tingnan.
She resolutely took a role in a low-budget, realistic film and, with her understated yet powerful performance, claimed the Best Actress crown.
Watching his ex-girlfriend rise higher and higher, Kong Lu couldn't help sending Mu Tingnan an invitation to pose for a magazine.
"If you come, you'll always be my woman."
Mu Tingnan rejected him without hesitation.
Instead, she worked with a handsome, up-and-coming photographer whose name had recently been on the rise.
Kong Lu was furious.
On the day the magazine went on sale, Kong Lu bought a copy at once.
When he opened it, the first photo on the opening page had his villa in the background.
In the photo, Mu Tingnan lay in the storm, looking haggard and pale, yet no less beautiful.
A radiant smile that didn't match her appearance lit up her face as she reached toward the camera.
Mu Tingnan's fingertips rested against several fingers that looked just like the ones in the photo.
Beneath the picture were four handwritten words, their strokes almost flying off the page.
"My muse."
Theme: Persevere through hardship and strive unrelentingly.
