Powerful older man vs. college student and actress, age gap, Beijing’s elite circle and the entertainment industry
The promotional blurb’s revenge arc is being unlocked*
Twenty years after making her debut, Sixth Miss Shen worries that her looks are fading, her appeal is waning, and her glory days are over. She decides to launch her younger cousin’s career instead.
Seventh Miss Shen, Shen Chongfei, has raven-black hair and porcelain skin, a curvy, statuesque figure, and the beauty of a poppy. Sixth Miss Shen intends to use her cousin’s mortal flesh to keep herself blooming forever.
But she never expected Shen Chongfei to get involved with the wrong person as soon as she entered the industry.
The day she takes her cousin to the mansion halfway up the mountain, Sixth Miss Shen gives her a serious warning: Meng Zongtai is an eccentric man, so Seventh Miss Shen must remember to be compliant and never act on impulse.
The black Bentley climbs to the mountaintop. When Shen Chongfei meets the legendary power broker, standing in the mist, her first thought is simply that he’s handsome.
He’s handsome, knows how to treat a woman, and when he’s in a good mood, he’ll almost grant any request.
Especially in bed.
It isn’t until Meng Zongtai’s childhood sweetheart returns to the country that Shen Chongfei learns she looks like her.
When the childhood sweetheart comes to visit and sees Shen Chongfei, she gives a mocking laugh. “Looking a little like me is your good fortune.”
Shen Chongfei thinks, That’s true.
She takes it further and further, making unreasonable demands of Meng Zongtai and indulging every whim. Relying on a face that gave her a head start, she does as she pleases and becomes an overnight sensation, taking the industry by storm.
Shen Chongfei has her moments of making a scene, crying, and losing heart. One day, she tearfully says she wants to break up. Meng Zongtai pulls her into his lap, his composure unshaken. “We’re not done yet.”
Later, at the Best Actress awards ceremony, she clutches the microphone and chokes up as she announces that she’s retiring from acting to marry her boyfriend of many years, who’s outside the industry.
Meng Zongtai is sitting in the audience. Hearing that she dares to propose to him in public, he interlaces his fingers, his expression unreadable, while his heart races.
He’s furious, but the way his throat bobs and his body heats up can’t lie.
Until, in the next moment, he hears her say a name completely unfamiliar to him, just like everyone else in the room.
All the blood in Meng Zongtai’s body turns to ice.
He remembers the day Shen Chongfei brought a young man to him and asked him to find the guy a job. He’d sent him to be her assistant, giving them the chance to spend every hour of every day together. That day, the young man had stood before him with his head bowed, as servile as a dog.
Reader’s notes:
1. Both leads are each other’s first and only; ten-year age gap
2. The setting is entirely fictional, with no real-life counterparts
3. For the best reading experience, the blurb is full of red herrings. We don’t recommend making guesses or drawing conclusions about the plot based on it.
4. The male lead is, of course, Meng Zongtai. Happy ending.
The career storyline follows an ordinary college student as she charges into the entertainment industry!
To make reading more enjoyable, any comments mentioning real life, real people, divisive topics, flame wars, or things unrelated to this novel will be deleted, whether positive or negative. Thanks for understanding! Let’s keep things lively and relaxed as we follow the updates!

Take a look at the next exciting novel on my profile:
《The Young Lady Is Still Flawless Today》
A second-generation story set in the world of 《Letters from Hong Kong》
A rich heiress so outstanding she’s untouchable vs. a reckless, roguishly handsome F1 driver from another old-money family
Some say the heiress to Hong Kong’s most prominent family, Shang Junni, was raised to be far too beautiful, accomplished, proper, sunny, and emotionally grounded. Her father is a model patriarch of a top-tier wealthy family, and her mother is China’s first actress to win the Grand Slam. Perfect as an artificial flower, she’s a flower without a scent.
Chen Boye merely lifts an eyelid. “Bullshit.”
Others say that scentless flowers like her are the hardest to pursue. She was born with every stat maxed out, wants for nothing, has loving parents and a harmonious family, and doesn’t even have childhood trauma!
This time, Chen Boye says, “That’s true.”
The rich playboys in their circle: ?
You definitely took a hit in secret, buddy.
Chen Boye didn’t just take a hit. He’s even tasted Shang Junni’s lips. The problem is, she thinks they’re just playing house.
Premise: Love is a kind of…
The only happy thing about this picture is that my daughter has a long mouth, and she can accurately and clearly express what she cares about. I can accept that we don't have it because I said from the beginning that I don't want your future, but I want you to be honest with me. This honesty is not right. Do I look like jhy? Or do you like my answer because I look like jhy? This is a question. But every time before, I went to Hong Kong, went to North America, and rushed back to Beijing Hospital. There is a background to the following specific things, and there is room for explanation, but you didn't say it, and you didn't say it before, and by default you don't need to say it now. Even if these can be talked about first, wouldn't it be better? Simply put, you can't leave anyway. I noticed that the person was already in bed at this moment, and I hoped not to arrange forced love. The core of forced love is that love is not forced. My daughter can't feel love here right now, no one can feel love in this situation. Don't continue to abuse the heroine in this way.
I have been reading the comments section for many days to express my mutual anger towards the male protagonist. Actually, it's okay. I don't think the male protagonist has anything to do with the female lead. Maybe it's just because of his heart condition that he flies so many times and is so persistent. On the other hand, does Sixth Sister really have to die just to intensify the conflict? And the heroine's career line is too closely related to the male protagonist. The sixth sister is gone. Although the heroine is very good, she doesn't have the ability to be unique in the feudal entertainment industry.
The male and female protagonist with a long mouth, keep reading, I hope the author can come around and really write it clearly! Because the female partner is like this, no matter whether she has money or not, there will always be men and women who come to her! The way the male protagonist dealt with the female counterpart in the previous article deviated from the setting of this man, fell into the clichés of romance novels, and deviated from the context of the article. I hope there won't be any forced love in the following chapters, that would be even more outrageous! ! ! A quarrel is a quarrel, but the way to deal with it after the quarrel is also the way to deal with emotions as a mature person. Since the author doesn't want to write a relationship where the male protagonist supports the female protagonist and thinks it is a normal love relationship between male and female friends, then he will handle it according to normal love logic! According to the current context, it is really easy for people to think that the man is nurturing and superior to the woman, and the woman is narcissistic and falls in love with him (and claims that she is not like this and is very sober). The logic and copywriting are also different! If the real man in front of the woman thinks that the relationship is a nurturing relationship, then make the heroine really sober! Don't be emotionally unequal, making one of you look like a fool and the other like a schizophrenic (if you look the same every now and then, that's not maturity, it's just pretending)! So what is the relationship between the two? ? ?
I hope that after the breakup, Meng can realize that the problem between him and Feifei is due to his own dishonesty and not to Teacher Gu. But Teacher Gu made him see clearly that his love is selfish, narrow-minded, dishonest and not bright.
Start eating and asking for cards. If you don't talk to me about reasons and feelings, then I won't talk to you either, just like what Sixth Sister said before leaving. Let's take what's right first and then dump him [bad laugh]
Sisters, can you start chasing me? I'm still at chapter 30. Why isn't it finished yet?
I've been so miserable lately
Male protagonist, have you ever truly respected Feifei? Do you care about her feelings?
If this were reality, even if a hit drama was broadcast, it would be very difficult to fight alone in such a situation. There are many opponents waiting to step on you. It's better to be led by the sixth sister than by a man. Now I rely on the male protagonist for the whole process, unless I quit the circle and go back to academics. This is probably a flaw in the setting of this article. The career is too dependent on the male protagonist. If there is no new star in the future, then we can only forcefully write the audience and fans to the heroine, right?
Every time I watch these two cultural figures quarrel, it's a joy! [Cai dog]
