The first time she stood in front of a camera, people cruelly jeered at her and made her imitate her late, long-dead gambling-addict father.
The second time she stood in front of a camera, she had applied to film school herself, only for her own mother to sell her out and cost her the chance to enroll.
The third time she stood in front of a camera, it was for the first day of filming on a low-budget movie, and she was the most insignificant extra in the crowd.
The countless time she stood in front of a camera was at the star-studded Cannes International Film Festival. This time, she was the most indisputable Chinese Best Actress.
On a dazzling stage watched by countless people, Sang Ying stood in a gown, holding her trophy. She looked calmly and warmly into the camera, her back straight.
“As I accept this award, I want to thank myself for becoming the Sang Ying I am today.”
Sang Ying had always believed that if she wanted something, she had to fight for it herself. No one would give her everything unconditionally.
She was greedy and wanted it all, so she had to work ten or a hundred times harder than anyone else.
If all she could get were extra roles, then she would carefully study each character’s background and learn all kinds of ways to die. She played a drowning victim so convincingly that people wondered if there had been an accident on set.
When crowds lined up to audition for a supporting role that didn’t matter, she looked for another way forward, determined to figure out exactly what she wanted, and created a whole new character from scratch.
If someone stole a role she’d been cast in, she’d flip the table and put together her own production.
What does it take for a bullied country girl to conquer the world of cinema? Just be Sang Ying.
When people later looked back on Sang Ying’s life, they always thought of her breathtaking beauty, superb acting, and tenacious vitality.
The world’s most authoritative publication, Global Film Review, praised Sang Ying this way: “She is a treasure nurtured by her era, a soul unlike any other in the world. With a pair of beautiful, clear eyes, she sees through everything and portrays the most authentic joys and sorrows. Hardship and setbacks are the stepping stones on which she climbs; resilience and greatness are the refrain of her life!”

One day, a hot topic once again shot to the top of the headlines:
[Everyone knows that Sang Ying has had three marriages: one to a famous director she fell in love with while filming, one to a wealthy husband she met through an introduction, and one to a devoted fan who pursued her for years. So here’s the question: who did Sang Ying love most?]
Top-voted answer: The only things Sang Ying ever loved most were herself, acting, and her fans. Sang Ying V.
[Reader’s Guide and Content Warnings]

3. The setting is fictional, with no commitment to historical accuracy.
4. A classic entertainment-industry novel, with lots of stories-within-the-story and forum-style chapters.
5. No characters are based on real people. Please don’t compare them to actual people.
