After My Flirty Sister Betrayed Me, She Became a Film Queen

A pure, reserved rich second-generation heir vs. a dazzling, scheming award-winning actress

Blurb One:

At a drinking party, Tian Yiqiu saw a woman dressed to the nines, haughty and aloof. People said her name was Ji Shutong, a rising star who had just won her first award for Best Actress.

Ji Shutong raised her wineglass and smiled elegantly at her. "Hello, Ms. Tian."

Tian Yiqiu nearly ground her teeth to dust.

Ji Shutong? Wasn't she Ji Niannian?!

A year earlier, heartbroken, Tian Yiqiu had traveled to Luo Town, known as "Jiangnan's fairyland," to clear her mind. By the lakeside, she met a beautiful woman pounding clothes against a washboard.

What did it mean to fall in love at first sight?

The woman's eyes sparkled with life, and she was breathtakingly beautiful. Her eyes were moist, and she even tugged at Tian Yiqiu's sleeve, possessive and irresistible. "When you're with me, don't think about her."

Tian Yiqiu was so thoroughly charmed that she wound up in bed with the woman before she knew it.

The woman said her name was Ji Niannian, the daughter of an innkeeper. Tian Yiqiu spent a month with Ji Niannian in Luo Town, and her supposed white moonlight was soon forgotten and sent off to who knows where.

Before leaving to study abroad, Tian Yiqiu promised she would come back to see her.

But a year later, when Tian Yiqiu returned to Luo Town, she realized she'd been taken for a fool!

Ji Niannian was just an NPC in the town, hired to attract tourists. Even the washerwoman persona had been written into the script! The inn belonged to someone else's travel group!

Fake! It was all fake!

Even her name was fake!

Blurb Two:

Ji Shutong loved acting. She loved seeing her own face on the big screen, and loved standing under the spotlights, basking in the attention of the crowd as she accepted an award. She would seize any opportunity to rise to the top.

She would become the greatest actress in the entertainment industry, so that no one could ever hope to match her.

She was willing to use anything to get there, including... love.

When she approached Tian Yiqiu at the drinking party with a wineglass in hand and called her "Ms. Tian," the Ji Niannian who had once shown a trace of genuine feeling in Luo Town was already gone.

All that remained was the award-winning actress, Ji Shutong.

Blurb Three

Ji Shutong rose to the top, and Tian Yiqiu went bankrupt.

Ji Shutong thought she had only meant to use Tian Yiqiu, so why had she ended up giving her heart away, too?

Tian Yiqiu tried to run, and Ji Shutong tossed her a contract. "Stay by my side, and I'll pay you."

Tian Yiqiu was exhausted. "You've already achieved your goal. Why are you still holding on to me?"

Ji Shutong's breath brushed against her ear. "To do... what needs to be done."

Note: The characters aren't perfect! Both are virgins, though one of them has dated women before.

Theme: Seize the chance to meet again.
