[A-list Actress x Gorgeous Unknown]
Blurb:
As soon as Xia Wan entered the entertainment industry, she offended an executive and was suppressed and shelved. During her most obscure year, she played faceless corpses, refugees, and street vendors in Hengdian for 50 yuan a day.
Just as the industry was finally about to forget this minor nobody, someone dared to cast her as the lead actress's maid.
For her first role in which her face would be shown, she got to act alongside Liang Yining, the youngest Best Actress, who had an excellent reputation and was renowned for her looks and acting. Xia Wan felt like she'd struck gold.
As the two grew closer, Xia Wan realized Liang Yining was wonderful. She would practice acting with someone as insignificant as Xia Wan, help her find opportunities, and even risk delaying the shoot to take her to the hospital when she fell ill.
Xia Wan was so moved she could hardly express it, and became convinced there were still good people in the entertainment industry.
Until the day they shot the final scene.
A torrential downpour trapped the film crew in the mountains.
As they sheltered in a cave, Xia Wan sat on the ground beside Liang Yining, resting her head on her shoulder and staring blankly at the rain. Then Liang Yining's voice drifted softly into her ear. “Would you consider being with me?”
Xia Wan was thunderstruck. The happy illusion of their time together shattered, and all their past encounters flashed through her mind. Inopportunely, she thought of a crude joke: in their line of work, that meant becoming someone's kept lover.
Xia Wan realized with horror: Did this woman think that accepting her kindness meant agreeing to be kept by her?!
She hastily pulled her head away from Liang Yining's shoulder.
Damn, she almost got tricked. There really are no good people in the entertainment industry.
Theme: Keep pushing forward against the current and face challenges head-on
