So the Movie Emperor Had a Secret Crush on Me

Lan Ning was a good girl: no scandals, no rivalry, and so laid-back she was a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry. She had beauty to envy, yet most of her roles were corpses or cannon-fodder passersby. One day, she was finally discovered by a sharp-eyed agent. A supporting role as the third female lead propelled her into the ranks of third-tier stars, backed by a powerful entertainment company. As Lan Ning gained a little fame, her fans dug through her past and unearthed all the bit parts this hidden gem had played over the years... Fan: “Ah!! My precious girl has such a connection with award-winning actor Shang Lue. The male lead in every movie where she played a bit part was Shang Lue!” “She’s playing the third female lead this time, and she’s Shang Lue’s sister!” “I actually think Actor Shang and our girl make a great couple. They’d be perfect playing lovers!” Another fan lamented, “The lead role in the award-winning actor’s new movie has been cast. The female lead is the troublemaking goddess Chi Shangshang. Our girl has no chance!” Lan Ning was scrolling through Weibo when she saw the comment. At last, a trace of irritation appeared on her usually calm face. She closed Weibo and opened a page on a novel website: the author dashboard for the original novel behind the actor’s next film. She made a call, and for the first time in her entertainment career, she pulled strings. “Dad, invest fifty million for me. I want to play the female lead!” 【A 1v1 romance. The heroine has many secret identities, bravely pursues love, and is devoted to one person.】
