[Cool, aloof moonlight beauty × glamorous red rose]

Everyone who knows Jiang Jia and Gu Yu knows they're bitter rivals who can't stand each other.

Their backgrounds, looks, and temperaments are complete opposites.

After an accident, the two transmigrated into the same novel and became cannon fodder characters.

Jiang Jia was lucky enough to become the younger sister of the actress heroine, and the wealth she'd once only dreamed of was suddenly within reach.

By contrast, the formerly high-and-mighty heiress of the Gu family became an impoverished acting student with nothing to her name. Jiang Jia glanced at Gu Yu, whose dress had been washed pale but who still radiated a rosy beauty, and suddenly curled her lips into a smile.

The woman's voice was cool and clear, yet held a hint of beguiling ill intent. "Miss Gu, would you consider lowering your head to me?"

[Double transmigration into a book + showbiz]

/It's more or less a story about spending money to raise your archenemy to the top, then ending up with a wife/

[My rose should bloom on the highest branch, burning bright forever.]

-

After they transmigrated back, one day, a friend went shopping with Gu Yu and happened to spot Jiang Jia, who seemed to be on a blind date.

The friend was about to pull Gu Yu away when Miss Gu took a lipstick out of her bag, unhurriedly touched up her lips, then strode elegantly over to Jiang Jia.

She leaned down, lowered her eyes, and pressed a warm kiss to Jiang Jia's cheek.

Her tone was ambiguous, as if she were staking her claim. "You left your lipstick on my bed last night. I came to return it."

Jiang Jia: "..."

The client across from her, discussing business: ?

The friend: ??

You thought they were mortal enemies, but it was just a lovers' game?!

[Truly gentle and tender actress × Fake frail, secretly deranged beauty]

-

Nan Yan marrying Ji Bei was a case of marrying above her station.

Even though the Ji family was in dire straits at the time, the once most dazzling young Master Ji of the capital could only lie on a hospital bed, barely clinging to life.

She was a discarded pawn of her family, pushed forward to take the fall, a minor actress struggling to get by in the lower ranks of the industry.

When she was hurriedly sent to the Ji family, her heart nevertheless held a trace of ignoble joy

Nan Yan liked Ji Bei.

She had liked her for many years.

-

Time wore away at her memories, leaving behind only an impossibly beautiful illusion.

In the quiet of the night, Nan Yan always remembered that rainy night, beneath the shelter of a bus stop.

That was where she first met Ji Bei.

The girl had a pair of tender eyes, her thick, long lashes lowered as she looked down at Nan Yan, who was in a wretched state.

At the time, Nan Yan wore nothing but a thin set of pajamas, soaked through by the rain.

Her hair clung to her cheeks, making her look like a poor little puppy with nowhere to go.

Raindrops struck the ground with a sharp patter.

The slender hand holding an umbrella quietly tilted it toward her.

"Ji Bei!" someone beside her called. "The car's here. Aren't you coming?"

The girl didn't move. Her voice was calm and gentle as she replied, "I'm waiting for the rain to stop."

-

At eighteen, Ji Bei was distant in expression, but not cold.

At twenty-six, Ji Bei's face was pale with illness, her dark hair falling to her waist, her beautiful features unchanged.

Only her tea-colored eyes were now veiled in thick fog, with an inexplicable gloom spilling from them.

In the heavy darkness surrounding her, it seemed no light could get through.

Until one day, someone opened the door and came toward her alongside flecks of sunlight.

Like salvation.

Or like an even deeper abyss.

-

Everyone said that after young Master Ji narrowly escaped death, her methods had grown increasingly ruthless, and she now killed without mercy, her face always cold.

Nan Yan thought it was all gossip. Ji Bei was clearly still that clean, bright girl beneath the umbrella all those years ago.

Years later, on another rainy night,

Nan Yan, now an award-winning actress, took out a signed divorce agreement, her gaze clear and pure.

"Ji Bei," she said softly, smiling as though a weight had been lifted from her heart. "From now on, I wish us both freedom."

But the woman stared blankly, then gave a mocking laugh. As Nan Yan watched in shock, she slowly tore the agreement into pieces.

Her gentle disguise fell away, and the obsessive light in her pale eyes was no longer concealed.

"Yanyan, are you going to abandon me?"
