A Film Star in the Seventies
A bewitchingly beautiful actress x a handsome, poker-faced military officer with a jealous streak
Actress Yu Lan transmigrated into a film script set in the 1970s. The heroine was written as a woman everyone adored, attracting countless suitors, including the male lead.
The script also had a minor character named Yu Lan, who appeared in just one scene before being killed off. Unfortunately, Yu Lan transmigrated into the body of this character, who shared her name, and discovered that the original Yu Lan was a distant relative of the heroine. The original had been killed because the heroine’s suitors fought over her, and she was accidentally caught in the crossfire, dying as an innocent bystander.
Yu Lan understood: cherish your life and stay away from the heroine. Focus on your career and get rich as soon as possible.

Yu Lan joined the Beiping Film Studio and went from an unknown to a brilliant actress, dazzling everyone with her looks and talent. Suitors flocked to her from every direction. The heroine, who had been written as universally adored, was no match for Yu Lan’s acting. Beside her, she seemed like nothing more than a pretty face, and even her most prized beauty paled in comparison. The men who had once circled around the heroine regretted being so blind.
Yu Lan learned that she had a fiance, but because of his job, he was always stationed with the military. He and the original Yu Lan had only met as children and barely knew each other. So Yu Lan shamelessly used her fiance as a shield to turn away all her fervent admirers.
Until one day, her so-called shield appeared right in front of her.
Yu Lan: “!!!”

Colonel He’s beautiful wife, the big movie star, has come to visit him at the military camp! As soon as the news spread, all the soldiers were thrilled. Colonel He’s wife was a great beauty you could only see in the movies, and plenty of the men were her fans. How could they not be excited to finally meet her in person?
“I brought paper and a pen. Do you think the colonel would mind if I asked Sister-in-law for an autograph?”
“Should be fine. I even brought my treasured leather notebook. I want her to sign the first page.”
“You guys are too cunning! I didn’t bring anything. Can I have her sign my shirt?”
He Lang watched with a stony expression as a group of young soldiers wagged their tails around his wife. He lifted his military boot and kicked them away, one backside at a time.
Yu Lan looked up. Before she could say a word, He Lang wrapped his iron arms around her and whisked her away.
Back in their room, He Lang shut and locked the door with a click, then advanced on Yu Lan, his hot, heated breath brushing her neck.
“What are you doing?” Yu Lan turned her head, embarrassed and annoyed.
He Lang let out a restrained breath. “What do you think?”
Then he pounced and devoured her.
