Princess syndrome x knight syndrome | Marriage before love | Angsty, sweet romance
Jiang Tingyu is an obscure actress on the verge of becoming an extra.
Netizens' verdict: Pretty, terrible acting. She should rebrand and focus on being a pretty face.
Jiang Tingyu's agent: A wholehearted thumbs-up.
Who would want to work in entertainment if they weren't saddled with massive debt?
Jiang Tingyu scooped up a spoonful of cold boxed food and chewed it once, then again, before spitting it out.
It was greasy and awful, utterly impossible to swallow.
"Does Miss Jiang still think she's the young lady of Wenjiang Manor?" The third female lead on set glanced at the boxed meal in her hand, showing not an ounce of consideration.
Jiang Tingyu wanted to change her ways. She forced a smile, but it looked even worse than crying.
It turned out she really wasn't cut out for this line of work, and she couldn't give up her spoiled princess habits either.
The words slipped out: "What's it to you?"
"Just you wait." The third female lead knocked her meal out of her hands. That evening, an extra scene was added to the call sheet: a young lady slapping her maid.
Jiang Tingyu played the maid.
Who had lied to her, saying that once she got into entertainment she could make 2.08 million a day just by lying around? She hadn't made any money, and somehow people were stepping on her wherever she went.
"Why don't we go have a meal with the investors?" Her agent looked thoroughly righteous, completely at odds with his suggestion just moments ago.
"Or what about your old friends? Is there no one you can talk to?"
People flock to whoever can benefit them. The more bustling her circle had once been, the lonelier she was now.
"No one." Jiang Tingyu pointed at her agent's phone screen, where the eleventh trending topic on Weibo read: #LiangHeirToTakeOverTianyu#.
"And he's got a grudge against me, too." Liang Jianyan, who was about to become her boss.
-
Liang Jianyan was renowned in Rongcheng for his refined, gentlemanly bearing.
A heaven-blessed prodigy, a talented young man, a man of impeccable virtue...
The media had piled all sorts of glowing titles in front of his name.
The line of women hoping to become Mrs. Liang stretched all the way to France.
"My wife is a beautiful and charming woman." In his first public interview, Liang Jianyan openly showed off his wedding ring.
Liang Jianyan was married. Young women everywhere were heartbroken.
"Couldn't he have praised me a little more?" Jiang Tingyu grumbled as she closed the livestream.
Her agent sighed. "Your Highness, if you weren't carrying his baby, he would've blacklisted you ages ago."

Saving a princess is a knight's fate.
