Four years into her career, Song Yan was given the nickname "The Red Rose of the Mortal World." Dazzling and captivating, she was both gorgeous and fierce.
After a scandal and a breakup, she quit the entertainment industry in a blaze of publicity and disappeared without a trace.
When former collaborators mentioned her, their faces were full of disdain: "She only got famous through hype. She has no talent, puts on airs, and is a total fake."
Half a year later, Song Yan made her first public appearance since quitting the industry at a banquet, revealed as the heir to the Song family's hundred-billion-yuan fortune, a fortune no one could hope to reach.
Those who had once bashed her all started sucking up to her: "Miss Yan is beautiful, talented, and a brilliant actress. It's such a shame she left the industry!" _(:3)_
After quitting show business, Song Yan became known as "The Enchantress of the Mortal World." Naturally bewitching and irresistibly seductive, there was no man she couldn't charm.
The socialites scoffed: "Gu Chenxiao of Yuncheng is cold and heartless. Go on, try flirting with him!"
Song Yan had three rules.
First: No flirting with ugly men.
Second: No flirting with men who like her.
Third: ...No flirting with ex-boyfriends!
Everyone racked their brains trying to figure out what any of those rules had to do with Gu Chenxiao.

Word around Yuncheng was that Gu's ex-girlfriend broke up with him just because he stepped through the door with his left foot first.
Everyone criticized the ungrateful ex-girlfriend, saying she'd made trouble until she ruined her own life.
Later, when Gu Chenxiao and Song Yan went public with their relationship, a rival came to mock her: "You're just a substitute. The woman he loves most is his ex-girlfriend. When she comes back, you'll have to get lost!"
That very night, Gu Chenxiao returned from a business trip to find Song Yan packing her bags. His veins bulged as he gritted his teeth. "Song Yan, this time I stepped through the door with my right foot first! Where are you trying to run off to now?"
