After My Signature Works Were Taken Down [Entertainment Industry]

When Bai Wan made her debut, Jiang Dongyang was already a popular star.

Jiang Dongyang watched Bai Wan grow better and better. He believed she would become the finest young actress, and he wanted to work with her.

But everyone online knew that Jiang Dongyang, the second young master of Wanling Entertainment, was the “Prince of Bad Movies.” He usually didn't care what other people thought, but the idea of facing Bai Wan made him unable to accept being anything less than excellent.

So he disappeared from the spotlight for a year and a half to hone his acting skills.

The year Jiang Dongyang earned his acting qualification, Bai Wan became a star.

If all went well, he could finally work with her.

Not long before filming began on Bai Wan's new drama, in which she was the female lead, the mentor she'd worked with on four dramas was exposed in a scandal, and all of his works were pulled from circulation.

Bai Wan was caught in the crossfire, and not one of her works was left untouched.

With everyone piling on, the mentor's former friends rushed to publicly distance themselves from him, while Bai Wan posted on Weibo about their “deep teacher-student bond.”

Just as the entire internet said Bai Wan was ruining her own career, “Jiang Dongyang likes Bai Wan's Weibo post” started trending.

When Jiang Dongyang met Bai Wan on set in the male lead role, she had been demoted to the third female lead.

At least they were still in the same cast.

The night they made their relationship public, Bai Wan called Jiang Dongyang “scary.” “I'm out in the open while you're in the shadows. You've been watching me secretly for so long, plotting every step of the way. It's terrifying.”

Jiang Dongyang stood up. “Well, at least now we're both out in the open.”

Upcoming entertainment-industry novel: The Unlucky Girl Became Famous After Being Forced to Atone

Cheng Yi spent a thousand years as an unlucky ghost in the underworld. Every day, she sent misfortune to the little ghosts who had done bad things in their previous lives, so they would face retribution in their next ones.

On her thousandth birthday, Cheng Yi took a nap. When she woke up, she had become Cheng Yi, an unlucky actress in the human world.

Everyone knew that Cheng Yi was the entertainment industry's walking curse. Any drama she appeared in was sure to flop, the brands she endorsed would go bankrupt, and the equipment would break during her performances...

Over time, the industry's bigwigs began avoiding her, and her work opportunities gradually dried up. By the time her contract with her agency expired, she was facing retirement from show business.

On the last variety show her agency booked for her, viewers in the livestream chat placed bets on what kind of bad luck would end Cheng Yi's career.

Cheng Yi: What a coincidence. I'm best at making other people unlucky.

Cheng Yi became the luckiest person on the show.

But Cheng Yi's unlucky constitution was still there.

Cheng Yi: It's so hard being an unlucky person in your world.

While drowning her sorrows in alcohol, she met a blue-haired man at a bar. He told her that to stop being unlucky, she had to “atone.”

It turned out the original Cheng Yi was unlucky because, before reincarnating, she'd received Cheng Yi's misfortune in the underworld!

Cheng Yi: Why should I atone for the sins she committed in her previous life!?

But she still had to try her best to atone.

After that, people noticed that the actress Cheng Yi had changed.

Fighting off criminals, rescuing people with quick thinking, founding an anti-cyberbullying association, cracking down on piracy sites... One by one, these things that had never been associated with Cheng Yi started trending alongside her.

Cheng Yi became famous.

Meanwhile, the people who had mocked, bullied, or framed her began suffering one misfortune after another.

Netizens: Could Cheng Yi be transferring her bad luck to other people!?

Later, a blue-haired man named Yun Zhijun appeared by Cheng Yi's side.

As soon as Yun Zhijun showed up, major talent agencies competed to sign him, but he chose Cheng Yi's studio.

No one but Cheng Yi knew that Yun Zhijun was a god.

“There's a saying in the human world: humans and ghosts belong to different worlds. You're a god, so that's even more true.”

“There's the saying ‘by a strange stroke of luck,’ and there's ‘supernaturally skillful.’ The ways of gods and ghosts are unfathomable. Luckily, I'm a god, so I can be your carefree immortal companion.” That's what Yun Zhijun said.
