Longing for Spring Mud

Chi Yan, the top young master of an elite family, was stunningly handsome, proud, and arrogant. He especially loved playing with people's feelings.

Sang Xu was born with foxlike eyes. Radiant and unrestrained, she could captivate anyone, but she was stubborn and had a hard time surviving in the entertainment industry.

At a birthday party, Sang Xu met Chi Yan.

Chi Yan taught Sang Xu how to survive in the entertainment industry and helped her win awards and make a name for herself.

Sang Xu thought Chi Yan loved her, until one evening, when she returned from touching up her makeup and accidentally overheard Chi Yan talking with a friend

“You're awfully gentle with Sang Xu. Don't tell me you've fallen for her?”

Sang Xu's heart tightened. She heard Chi Yan reply in an unhurried tone, “Would you fall in love with one of your bargaining chips? If I weren't gentle, would she listen?”

Only later did Sang Xu learn that she was merely the subject of a bet between Chi Yan and someone else: whether someone like her could make it in the entertainment industry.

Chi Yan won the bet, but Sang Xu turned and left, vanishing from the entertainment industry from then on.

That night, everyone said Chi Yan had gone mad. He rejected an arranged marriage and searched the whole world for a woman named Sang Xu.

When they met again after a long separation, Sang Xu wore a white mermaid dress. Her radiant smile dazzled Chi Yan. She had her arm linked with the most famous musical prodigy in the entertainment industry, and everyone said they were a perfect match.

On a cold, lonely night, in a corridor of shifting light and shadow, with rain pouring down outside, Sang Xu was pressed tightly against the wall by Chi Yan and kissed until she could barely breathe.

Sang Xu struggled to pull away and warned him between gasps, “Mr. Chi, please behave yourself. I have a boyfriend.”

Chi Yan's expression darkened, and he became even more forceful and domineering. “Sang Xu, leave him, or you know what will happen to him.”

Coming soon: Chasing the Stars

Blurb:

Lu Er was a pitiful little white lotus. To pay for her father's medical treatment, she had no choice but to sleep with the heir of the Chu family. In the end, she was left disgraced and met an untimely death.

The waters of the Xia River were icy. From somewhere deep beneath the surface, a voice called to her: “Lu Er, your life wasn't meant to be lived this way.”

When Lu Er awoke again, she had figured out a lot. She was going to fight her way to success in this cutthroat entertainment industry.

And so she watched as, one by one

The senior student who had ruined her reputation was suddenly exposed in a scandal about sleeping around;

The mentor who had sold her to wealthy investors showed up at the police station to turn himself in, sporting massive dark circles;

Her adoptive parents, who had treated her as a tool to make money, were sent to prison for human trafficking...

No money?

No connections?

“Lu Er, if a woman wants to get what she wants, she has to learn to build mutual relationships and make use of everything around her.”

Just as she finally gained a foothold in the entertainment industry, a scandal dragged her back into the mud.

This time, Lu Er wasn't afraid. She kept telling herself, “No matter how many times it takes, you must save yourself from danger.”

In the end, not even gods or Buddhas could stop her from chasing her ambition to become a movie queen. With fortune seemingly on her side, Lu Er surged ahead and finally grew into a resolute, radiant woman!

Everyone said the heir of the Chu family, the most powerful elite family in Xiazhou, was noble, cold, and indifferent to women. At a young age, he had taken control of the entire entertainment industry and secured the throne of Best Actor.

But no one knew that this heir, who never went near women, had slept with a young woman named Lu Er. From then on, he couldn't get enough of her and was happy to be the ladder to her success.

Chu Hen was such a good man. Of course you should love him and make use of him.

And so, Lu Er, who had always avoided him like the plague, approached Chu Hen. “Chu... Chu Hen, could you rehearse a scene with me?”

Chu Hen sat in a lounge chair. His deep, beautiful peach-blossom eyes left the script and rested on her for a few seconds. “Sure. Which scene do you want to rehearse?”

Lu Er was looking through the script when Chu Hen was already standing beside her. “How about this one? I'm so seduced by you that I can't stop myself.”

Lu Er: !!??

Was that scene even in the script? She didn't remember it!
