I'm Not a Jinx

The eldest young master of the Du family in the capital doesn't want to inherit the family fortune. He only wants to make it big in the entertainment industry.

Every day, he strives to succeed through his own efforts, not his father's.

On his first day on set, he found out the production had lost its funding. Du Yuchen silently encouraged himself: "I'll find a better production next time."

The second time he joined a production, everything went smoothly, but it was eventually scrapped because one of the performers had a scandalous past. Du Yuchen sighed inwardly, "What a disaster," then tried to cheer himself up again.

The Nth time he joined a production, Du Yuchen pleaded with the heavens, "I don't need to become a huge star. I just want one film to actually get released."

Sure enough, this time countless reasons led to the production being shelved again.

Gradually, a rumor spread through the entertainment industry that Du Yuchen was a jinx. Whatever he acted in got canceled, and the internet was filled with sympathy for him.

But Ding Pingxuan, the owner of Flatter, had been watching all this. She thought Du Yuchen wasn't suited to acting, but was perfect as her model: a standard 185 centimeters tall, with a handsome face and a high, straight nose. He would be the most camera-ready model at her company.

Du Yuchen couldn't remember exactly what happened that day. He only remembered the steady drizzle and himself crouching by the hotel entrance. After being dropped from one production after another, he'd become disheartened and finally decided to take his father's advice and go home to inherit the family fortune. Just then, a tall woman approached and said, "Cool boy, thinking of giving up?" She crouched down to meet his eyes. Hers were cool and distant, yet the passion she felt for him was impossible to miss. "Come to my company. I can give you whatever you want."

Du Yuchen looked up, half skeptical.

After thinking it over for a long time, he looked at the business card in his hand. "This company is well-known."

As if possessed, he decided to believe her.

But that decision set him on a path that would last a lifetime.

Later, Du Yuchen became an award-winning actor. At the ceremony, he gazed passionately at the woman below the stage, his eyes still cool and ardent, unchanged after all these years.

"I've thanked so many people, but I also want to thank one person. She stood by me from the days when I was a jinx to the day I reached this stage. We faced so many hardships together. Today, I want to tell you that I'll love you forever. I'll always cry for you, and I'll always feel what you feel. You often ask whether I'll still stay with you forever once I become famous. So here's my answer: I used to think forever meant a very, very long time, until my hair turned white and my eyesight faded. Now, I think forever means us."

By the time he finished speaking onstage, Ding Pingxuan was already in tears.
