The Fussy Vase Who Became a Star After Her Breakup

Tong Xi had just won all three major awards and completed the grand slam. Then she woke up to find herself back at twenty. At the time, she was madly infatuated with Zhou Wei. Looking at her youthful, dewy face in the mirror, she smiled. Why bother with a lousy man? Isn't focusing on her career much better?

Everyone knew Tong Xi was a pretty but talentless showpiece who put on airs. There was no trending topic in the entertainment industry she couldn't piggyback on, and fans across the internet couldn't stand her.

Then netizens began to notice that something was off about Tong Xi. Not only had she stopped chasing clout, she was also being so careful to avoid Zhou Wei that it seemed to be second nature...

During an interview for her new drama, the host asked Zhou Wei, "Which scene with Tong Xi do you think was the most compelling?"

Zhou Wei replied expressionlessly, "When she slapped me three times."

Host: ...

"Tong Xi, which scene left the deepest impression on you?"

She smiled faintly. "Stabbing him."

Host: "Because it was so tragic?"

Tong Xi: "No, it felt great."

That night, the two at the center of the controversy performed a love song together, with five people between them.

Netizens: The great ship-splitting spectacle [doge]

Then Tong Xi won over the entire internet with a dating reality show. All six male contestants fell for her, and just as her reputation was turning around, netizens dug up proof that she and Zhou Wei had once dated. The whole internet exploded!

The ship fans went wild: I knew they were real!

Later, news broke that top-tier star Zhou Wei came from a family worth hundreds of billions and had only entered show business for fun. Some haters then suspected Tong Xi was trying to marry into a wealthy family.

Tong Xi: We broke up. There's nothing between us. Thanks!

Reading note: 1. They don't get back together after breaking up.

Shi An: ...Acting?

It's exhausting. She just wants to coast through life every day.

System: ??

Shi An was known throughout the entertainment industry as a wooden beauty, the classic case of someone squandering a winning hand.

Though she'd never appeared on variety shows before, Shi An joined a dating show. While everyone else was busy showing off their charms, she spent every day lounging around with a bare face.

Netizens: [...She's insanely beautiful even without makeup!]

A male contestant confessed his feelings to Shi An and asked how she felt about him.

She ate her instant noodles, her eyes vacant. "No thoughts, no feelings."

Netizens: Aaaah, she's so beautiful!

Shi An gained a million followers overnight and stared in confusion. She hadn't done anything at all.

Just as haters were attacking Shi An for being tactless and impolite, China's richest man, Qi Yi, appeared in a financial magazine interview for the first time and spoke about his childhood sweetheart and fiancee. "An'an is still young and doesn't know any better. Please be understanding."

Haters: [...So I'm the clown here.]

A reporter interviewed Shi An. "Why did you enter the entertainment industry?"

Shi An: "Because if I don't make money, I'll have to go back and inherit a fortune, and they'll arrange a marriage for me."

Theme: Be independent and strong
