"Aggressively beautiful," "born wicked," "a face kissed by the devil"...
Those labels once belonged to Qin Qiao.
If beauty could be divided into good and evil, she would clearly stand on the side of evil.
Audiences said her face wasn't a gift from the goddess of beauty, but a temptation the devil had left behind in the mortal world.
Later, Qin Qiao died.
When she opened her eyes again, the devil had taken back his gift.
She had become a film student with nothing but beauty and terrible acting skills.
And now, that "vase" had a scar on her left cheek that would never disappear.
The vase was shattered.
In her previous life, someone had looked at Qin Qiao's dazzlingly beautiful face and asked scornfully, "Besides being pretty, what else do you have?"
In this life, someone else looked at the scar on her face and asked, "No connections, no beauty. What makes you think you can stay in show business?"
Qin Qiao slowly smiled at her reflection in the mirror.
So when your face is too beautiful, people can't see what you're capable of. But if you lose your beauty, people don't even care enough to find out what you can do.
But it didn't matter.
In her previous life, she had spent more than a decade proving that beauty wasn't her only talent.
In this life, she only had to prove it once more:
An actor's most important face has never been their own. It's the face of the character they play.
This is an era when popularity can be bought and sold, trending topics manipulated, and even acting skills mass-produced in publicity releases.
Capital chooses the stars, fans decide their rankings, and cameras chase beauty.
As for true actors, they've long since become a legend no one believes in.
Until Qin Qiao covered half her face and walked into an audition said to judge acting alone.
The top-tier star on the judges' panel glanced at the veil over her face and spoke without mercy:
"Show business is all about looks. You don't belong here."
Qin Qiao didn't argue.
She simply stepped in front of the camera and performed the scene.
Later, everyone knew that Qin Qiao had a scar on her face.
But when the screen lit up, they saw a seductive concubine, a murderer, a mother, a young girl: one life after another, each once lived.
She was no longer just a disfigured actress.
Beauty fades, scars remain, and popularity always ebbs eventually.
But a true actor doesn't need a perfect face.
She can make everyone who sees her forget who she was before.
tips:
1. A show-business story about acting. The author doesn't follow celebrities. There are no real-life inspirations and no golden finger. I wrote this because I wanted to read a story about acting.
2. The scar on the heroine's face will never disappear. It is both her weapon and her mark.
3. The male lead is focused on his career too. The plot comes first.
