I am just a fan of Chinese drama. I don't know much about Chinese fiction in the past. I just have been watched Chinese drama through TV since I was young. So, I create this story following my imagination especially Chinese drama character that I favor.
The fiction is a fantasy.
I apologize if my fiction is wrong to Chinese culture, history and so on.
Moreover, I want to declare that name of character, place, event etc. are used in term of fiction only. If any resemble to actual person, place or event etc. it is purely coincident.

An knight-errant and secret spy of Royal family, Bai Shanhu, on the way to fulfill his mission, met with Li Bai Ling, a niece of rich in the province. They fell in love with each other at first sight, but Bai Ling had to marry next day. Night before, Bai Shanhu stole the bride and he took her with him. They gained their love and trust during that...

The internal auditor elaborated his idea on making the research expense 2.5 billion won.
"We can move some of our production workers to the research center such as the engineers handling the extruding machines. We can make a small office area inside the research center and give them a desk there. They work at the production site with machines as usual during work hours, but when they have to do some paperwork like writing a daily work log, they will have to do it at his desk inside the research center."
"Hmm."
"We can subdivide the research center into a development area, analysis area, etc."
"Still, I don't think we can fill up the required 2.5 billion won."
"We can add more. The chemicals that we regularly purchase so we can mix them together to produce our materials, we can record them as the chemicals to be used for testing purposes at the research center. I think we can then make the research expense 2.5 billion won."
Of course, the internal auditor was a crafty old man with extensive life and work experience. He knew how to manipulate the situation.
 
"Hmm, that might work. Why don't you make that suggestion in writing and share it with other executive officers during our next meeting? We need each department's cooperation."
"Of course, sir. I will work on the proposal and bring it to our next meeting."
 
It was Friday.
Gun-Ho went to GH Building in Sinsa Town to work that day. As soon as he sat at his desk in his office, he received a call. It was Director Woon-Hak Sim.
"Sir? It's me, Director Sim."
"Oh, hi, Mr. Director Sim."
"I've read the synopsis that you've sent to me. I'd like to meet with you in person, and give you my opinion on it."
"Sure. When you come, please bring your resident registration and your resume."
"My resume, sir?"
"Yes, we will need it."
"Okay, sir."
 
Around 11 am that day, Director Sim came to Gun-Ho's office.
"Here are my resume and resident registration."
Gun-Ho just put the documents aside without even looking at them.
"So, what do you think about their synopsis? Do you like it?"
"The Chinese writer whoever wrote the synopsis did a very good job. It was actually better than I expected. The thought and consciousness of Chinese authors seem to have changed a lot for the past several years."
"Hmm, really?"
"I've made some modifications on the several scenes in the synopsis though. I wanted to emphasize more on family ties. Also, I restructured the relations among the characters."
"Hmm, I see."
 
"Actually, I've received help from a Korean drama writer in making those changes on this synopsis. She is a very famous author, and she helped me with pleasure of feeling sorry for my situation. The main plot is based on a sweet and refreshing romance and heartwarming story that could heal the audience's emotions who are already exhausted in life."
"Hmm, really? I see a lot of red marks in this synopsis. You made more than a few changes." Gun-Ho said while reviewing the modified synopsis that Director Sim brought to him.
"I think we can surely make the audience cry with this drama, especially the Chinese stay-home moms and the ladies at work."
"Do you think this drama would succeed?"
"I'm pretty positive, sir."
"Hmm… really?"
 
Gun-Ho showed the copy of the email that he received from Huanle Shiji's president, to Director Sim.
While Director Sim was reading the email, Gun-Ho summarized their financial situation and pointed out his concerns.
"Huanle Shiji currently has 2 billion won of short-term debt, and 400 million won of unpaid wages."
"Hmm…"
"If I put my funds in this drama production company now, they will first pay for the unpaid wages with the funds. Consequently, it will lower the amount that they can use in producing their drama. As a result, they will probably need additional funds later on to continue the production, and I will probably have to put more money. Do you think I would be able to recover my investment funds? Are you sure that their drama will succeed this time?"
Silence filled the air for a moment until Director Sim broke it.
 
"All I can tell you, sir, is whether this drama would succeed or not, and I believe that this one will succeed. They will probably use a part of your investment funds designated for producing the drama; I agree with you, sir. But, I'm not sure if you would have enough return on your investment funds if that happens. That's not my area of expertise."
"So, you are confident that this drama will succeed."
"Yes, sir."
"It is commonplace that drama producing requires additional funds as they proceed with it. Usually, it cost more than they initially planned, doesn't it?"
"Well, you're right, but for a modern drama like their next drama, usually the production cost stays about the same as they originally planned."
"You probably know well the reason why the television director— Jong-Hak Kim— committed suicide. He was famous for his TV drama— Sandglass."
"I do, sir. I knew him well personally. He was one of my favorite colleagues who were senior to me, especially because his name was similar to mine. His 'Sandglass' was a huge success, but he suffered from a big loss in producing the following fantasy series— Legend. I believe that the particular TV series took way more than the budget that he had planned in the beginning."
"It actually cost him 30% more than he initially budgeted."
"That sounds about right. When they planned the production of 'Legend,' they budgeted 31.5 billion won, but they ended up spending 40.6 billion won."
"The accrued revenue from that TV series could cover only half of their total production cost."
At the moment, Director Woon-Hak Sim closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.
 
Gun-Ho continued while crossing his legs, "I'm sorry that I talked about the dark side of the work. Since the competent production director like you— Mr. Director Sim— assured that this drama would be successful, this Chinese drama— Shiguang Ru Meng— intrigued me even more."
"Thank you, sir. I want to cast a Korean actress for the main female character even though we might have to cast a Chinese actor for the male main character. If we use a less-known new actress, we can save the production cost."
At the moment, the name— Seol-Bing popped up in Gun-Ho's head as Director Sim mentioned his intention to cast a Korean actress, but he dispersed the thought.
 
"Let's do this."
"What are you suggesting, sir?"
"I will hire you— Mr. Director Sim— as the head of operations of the soap opera production department at GH Media, for now."
"Huh? Are you going to give me a job?"
"But, I'm setting your monthly salary to 1 million won. If I pay you more, your salary after subtracting the amount of the basic living cost will be garnished by your creditors anyway. So, it's not a good idea."
"That… that's true."
"And, if I decide to make my investment in the drama production company in China, you will be working in China for me. I will pay you an additional amount for your monthly salary in China."
Suddenly, Director Sim's face became brightened in relief when he heard of sending him to China. Director Sim interpreted what Gun-Ho said about hiring him as Gun-Ho almost made up his mind in investing in China.
"Thank… Thank you, sir."
"I asked you to bring your resident registration and your resume earlier because of the paperwork that is needed to hire you. We have to file Four Major Public Insurance for you as your employer."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you so much."

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

Hello new readers! This is just an introduction to the setting of the novel you're going to be reading.
First of all, Quick Transmigration. What is it? Basically, transmigration is a concept popularized in Chinese fantasy novels, where the protagonist gets transported to a different reality, and has to go through all the challenges that come with that.
This novel features quick transmigration, which means there will be multiple different worlds, that the protagonist will go through over the course of the novel.
The protagonist, Xi Zirui has a system, since I'm not overly fan of systems, this system mostly works like a quest tracker in an rpg game, and by giving the protagonist useful information about the world he's in, and the life of person he's inhabiting.
Main facts:
- The MC will always have the same name: Xi Zirui, in every world.
- This is 1v1, which means the MC will always have a relationship with the same "person" in every world, even if it might not look like it, you'll know ;)
- There will be a connecting thread through all the worlds.
First world: Actor in a popular BL drama. 
Second world: ???

[BL - Quick Transmigration] Xi Zirui is an intern with a boring office job. He wouldn't mind more excitement in his life.

He gets his wish when he walks by a storefront announcing just that: an end to his boredom. It comes in the form of the worldhopping machine: Transmigrator 4000

Xi Zirui then finds himself living the life of a famous actor, and staring in the most anticipated BL drama of all times. 

There's only a problem, as his System likes to remind him:

He needs to keep his reputation as an actor up.

He can't fall in love with the Male Lead, the infuriating and attractive Han Yu.

---

[Han Yu groans and bumps his head against the sofa. "Didi is so hard to please."

Xi Zirui snorts. "You should stop trying, then."

Han Yu turns on his side to face Xi Zirui and smirks. "What would be the fun in that?"]

---

1v1 in every world, but with a twist.
Cunning and seductive MC
Shameless and doting ML

Everyone was getting excited just from the sketches, especially when they thought about how the world of Azeroth would be made into an RPG game.
Wen Lingwei, Jia Peng and the others did not expect that Chen Mo would want to make an RTS as it was dominated by one overseas company, and none of the Chinese companies were able to properly integrate into the market.
Which was why the others thought that Chen Mo would make an RPG, because it would be the safest choice.
All of a sudden, Wen Lingwei mentioned, "By the way, manager, have you seen Zen Entertainment's newest game?"
Chen Mo shook his head, "Nope, what is it?"
"I think it's called 'Seven Heroes'. It's a Wuxia themed large scale RPG on the PC," answered Wen Lingwei.
Zheng Hongxi said, "Oh that, I think it just entered closed beta today, and would enter public beta in two months."
That managed to grab Chen Mo's attention, "Really? What type of game is it?"
Zheng Hongxi replied, "I watched the trailer, and it feels like a reskin of Legend of the Sword, swapping out the Xianxia theme into Wuxia theme.
"Huh? They're doing that? Zen Entertainment sure is lazy," said Jia Peng.
Zheng Hongxi said, "It's not really lazy. Because of how successful Legend of the Sword was, any small changes could completely destroy the game. Copying their own game would be a safer choice."
Chen Mo nodded in agreement. This was actually quite common in his previous world. A large majority of the companies don't have the courage to make big changes to a game that was already successful. It isn't easy to create something new too, and I may even have the opposite effect.
Therefore, the safer choice would be to reskin their own game, changing out Xianxia to Wuxia. They would need to change things such as the content, how it's sold, jobs, and the combat system, but the core of the game would remain the same, minimizing the risk of failure.
Qian Kun said, "It seems like they are just testing the waters. If it was successful as a PC game, they'll make it into a VR game. Same old plan."
"The PC version will probably be successful, as in China, Legend of the Sword still has the best of the best gameplay," said Zheng Hongxi.
As they were discussing, Su Jinyu exclaimed out of nowhere, "Huh? Take a look guys at Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's Weibo! They are releasing a new game!"
Everyone took out their phone to check their Weibo. Indeed Emperor Dynasty Entertainment posted a Weibo on their new game,
After the launch of I Am MT, Chen Mo developed Thunderbolt Tabletop as well as Lifeline. Including the development time, as well as testing, pre-release preparations and everything else was around four month's of time.
It was now evident that Emperor Dynasty Entertainment hadn't been slacking during that time.
The Weibo was as follows : Our newest game Ain World is now in closed beta! Expansive world, rich character customisation and different races, providing you with a unique RPG experience!
There were a few artworks included in the Weibo post, human knights, orc warriors, and elven archers. There were also a few artworks for the background setting, giving off strong Western Fantasy vibes.
Zheng Hongxi was also shocked, "What is this? Why would Emperor Dynasty make a Western Fantasy game?"
Wen Lingwei said disapprovingly, "It's even called Ain World. It's a knockoff of Azeroth right?"
"Manager, what do you think?" asked Su Jinyu.
Chen Mo laughed, "What is there to think. Western Fantasy as a theme is currently in limbo in China. Emperor Dynasty and Zen have avoided it like the plague in the past, but decided to try it again out of nowhere. Moreover, it's a completely original fictional world. Obviously..."
Zheng Hongxi finished off his sentence, "They're copying Azeroth."
Chen Mo nodded, "Bingo."
"Wow, that's really a new low for Emperor Dynasty, they copy everything the manager does. Does a huge company like them have no sense of dignity?" Jia Peng said angrily.
Wen Lingwei added, "They've even copied it before we made it."
Chen Mo laughed, "Don't worry, out of all the knockoffs they've made, was there a single one that performed better than the original?"
"Well, we can't do nothing about it, right? Copying fictional worlds like this should warrant a lawsuit right?" said Su Jinyu.
Chen Mo said, "They've already made changes no? Look, obviously they've based it off Western Fantasy, and just 'referenced' some content from World of Azeroth, they wouldn't dare reference too much."
Su Jinyu was still unsatisfied, "Well, manager, does that we're not going to do anything?"
Chen Mo shook his head, "Of course not. Am I the type of guy to just take it? Hand the great Chen Mo his mobile phone, Goldfish."
Su Jinyu was shocked, "Huh?"
Chen Mo pointed at his phone on the table, "Over there."
SU Jinyu was speechless, "You're such a drama queen, manager. Couldn't you have done that yourself? And even went as far to refer to yourself in third person..."
Su Jinyu still walked the few steps to pass Chen Mo his phone.
Everyone was curious as to what Chen Mo was going to do. Was he going to start something that would benefit him again?
Chen Mo sent a Weibo with only a picture: Arthas's concept sketch.
After some thought, he added a sentence :"Always copied, never bested."
His Weibo basically followed Emperor Dynasty Entertainment's Weibo, with only a five minute gap between them.
The drama hungry fans were surprised upon seeing the Weibo!
They were about to start trash talking Emperor Dynasty Entertainment upon seeing their Weibo, but upon seeing Chen Mo's Weibo, all their attention was shifted!
Although Chen Mo only posted a picture and one sentence, the message was clear as day.
There were dozens of entries on the World of Azeroth on Arthas. Therefore, everyone knew that he was a key character in the world of Azeroth, a fact that even the drama waiting players knew.
Even without context, the art for Arthas was amazing in and of itself.
The design, the expression, the setting, and when combined with the skeleton horse and Frostmourne, there were only two words that could be used to describe it: Extremely handsome!
Compared to this sketch, the detailed artwork for Ain World was like a woman with heavy makeup. No matter how much foundation they put on, they were completely overshadowed by the beauty of Chen Mo's sketch!
The knockoff aspect became even more obvious.
Moreover, Chen Mo added a 'Always copied, never bested.' which he didn't need to.
Yeah, that rings so true!
Plants vs Zombies, I Am MT, or Thunderbolt Tabletop, no matter what theme, what genre, and no matter how good or ill of an intent the game had, the other designers would copy Chen Mo. It was starting to get hard to watch!
Moreover, Emperor Dynasty decided to copy the World of Azeroth now? That's a new level of ridiculous!
But looking back at Chen Mo's games, none of them were bested! No matter how they copied it, Chen Mo's next game would undoubtedly be better!


Chen Mo liked calling himself a video game designer, despite being a mere video game producer.
After dying one day from work-related stress, he transmigrated into a parallel world as himself, right after he graduated. He was now in the body of his younger self, who also aspired to be a video game designer. 
Will he be able to fulfill his dream after being reborn in this oddly different new world, and become the best video game designer in that world?
Follow Chen Mo on his romp through video game classics as he brings the great games of the past to a whole new world in pursuit of his dreams!
Note: This Novel has been continued as a passion project by its translator. The continuation of this novel will not affect the result of Trial Reading or Voting Pool. 

Dear reader,

The writer speaks
Tenebrous thoughts
Of age old dreams...
I have read and continue to read many eastern fantasy webnovels. They sparked my interest ever since I watched a chinese drama and heard that it was a book adaptation. I found the translation, read it and went on a journey that brought me to discover eastern fantasy webnovels. I jumped in willingly and haven't looked back yet. (Yup, I've basically given up on other genres right now.
So why this book then?

Reason number 1:
Well, i just got tired of reading the same thing all over again. Granted, I get surprised now and again by a writer, but honestly most of the main characters we see are just in it for… what exactly? I guess revenge, the ladies and let's not forget the ego trips.
Hmpf!
But it gets tiring after after the nth mc constantly at odds, constantly fighting with the people and the world around them.

I've dropped several books because of the constant fighting (I understand the need to raise the stakes but please give my poor old heart a rest). Catch my breath before the next canon fodder appears to be the mc's next stepping stone to becoming the world's greatest fighter). Don't even get me started on the horrible sex scenes; products of deluded minds (is romance dead? Woo a girl a bit before jumping her, will ya?)

Reason number 2:
I have read web novels with female protagonists, but apart from only one exception, female protagonists are limited to the clan or the city. Most of these books have to do with evil and annoying stepmothers and even more evil and annoying flower snake step sisters. I always ended up wondering if the kind of a story with a female protagonist in a sect could work? Is that even possible? So i took up the challenge. Only time will tell how it pans out. It might be exactly what i envisioned or transform into something else. 

I also wanted a more or less wholesome story that didn't make me break into hives because it was chock full of someone's outlandish sexual fantasies or fanservice.

If people weren't writing what I wanted to, I had to do it myself. I am by no means an accomplished writer, but I am up to the task.

Cultivating Karma came into existence after almost a year of dreaming and planning. It follows our heroine, Bai li yue, who through a series of events transmigrates into the thousand aurora world. She will journey the world on a quest to break a curse that afflicts her. Will she succeed in cultivating karma or has her fate been already decided?

I hope you stay for the ride. Most of all, I hope you enjoy yourself while doing it.

Bai li yue has lived a tough life: a cursed life. She survives an abduction and ends up in another world. Through a chance encounter she meets a person who changes her life. The only way to survive is through cultivation. Will she succeed in cultivating karma to break her curse or is her fate already set in stone?

April, the season of Sakura blossom, Early in the morning, the soft breeze took some petals into the room through the open window. A handsome young man with short black hair was sitting on the sofa. he was holding his Phone with his left hand while listening to his friend who called him.
"Mu fan, this isn't good!"
An eager voice sounded from the other side of the phone: "The restaurant that we are working in was caught using expired ingredient by the industry of commerce department. The boss has fled with his wife already and we wouldn't be able to get our salary this month."
"So? Is there any way to solve this problem?"
Listening to Mu fan calm words, the guy on the phone sighed and said: "There is no solution. The owner left, We don't have work anymore. If you need money you can always tell me, I will help however I could…"
"It's okay, it's just a small matter. I will try to figure out something myself. Thanks, Tomoya san." Mu Fan said his thanks and ended the call, he leaned his body on the couch as he looked at the neat living room.
"Crossing over to another world does really exist!"
Mu Fan Originally was a small admin of a Chinese website. He pulled an all-nighter then he went to sleep. As he woke up he found himself in another person's body in this strange place…
However, after several hours, he accepted this body's memories. This world wasn't the one he once lived in, it was a parallel plane that was very similar to his own, this wasn't China anymore, he was living in Tokyo Japan.
In fact, he was now called Mu Fan, He was an authentic Chinese, a 17 years old teen who studied two years in high school.
His father had run a restaurant in China, Then he took him to Japan to further develop. He married a beautiful woman who had a child. After that, he left him with his sister and went with his new wife for the honeymoon.
The result was like that of a drama, Both of the new weds suffered misfortune on this trip…
So he was left with only this two-story house and a sister named Sagiri.
The accident was a pity, Mu Fan never stepped out of the house after the accident. He didn't even go to school, Not only that, even his sister shut herself in her room and didn't come out since.
In such case, Mu Fan thought that this only existed in novels. Sagiri was still in shock, Mu Fan believed that if she didn't go to school, she wouldn't come out of the room and won't even bath.
Speaking of Sagiri, She has a long silvery hair, her eyes were aquamarine in color with a delicate and pure face, her skin was snow white, and she was a very lovely girl.
Of course, this is what she looked in Mu Fan's memories… Because he didn't see her for a long time.
In the end, Mu Fan summered his memories… He had parents but they both died, And his sister was a shut-in.
Although Mu Fan who was an only child always wanted a cute young Sister, Finding one so suddenly made his head hurt.
Now Mu Fan was facing a great Crisis.
It's a Crisis of survival.
Originally, His wage was enough for his daily expenses. However, when he crossed over, his boss was blinded by greed…
This damned guy.
Mu Fan Reached through his pocket and took all the money that was left. After searching for a few times, He found 10.000 Yen. Over the last half year, The family's savings were spent. So when this money is spent, he and his sister will starve.
"Dong Dong- -"
Suddenly a low pitched knock sounded on top of his head which pulled Mu Fan out of his thoughts.
"Wait, I will get it right away!" Mu Fan Shouted subconsciously.
"Wait…Why Am I so skilled?"
After saying this, Mu Fan couldn't help but smile, In his memories, Sagiri didn't want to get out of her Room, so the only way to communicate was this Floor language.
Floor language Level: Max
With this Talent hitting Max level, Mu Fan basically understood the meaning of every knock, this one's meaning is: "I am very hungry. Why haven't you cooked yet?"
He took up his cell phone and looked at the Time. Mu Fan's face changed. He didn't expect to space out for this long. If he didn't hurry up, he would be late for the first day of this semester.
Today was the first day of this semester. It would be shameful to arrive late.
Mu Fan was originally in his twenties, but now he returned to the age of 17.
However, he still had to adapt to the present life, he hastily went to the kitchen which was just next to this room.
"This kitchen is really advanced."
The clean kitchen made Mu Fan's moon brighten up. He went to the fridge to take a look at some ingredients. There were many vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, and tomatoes. There was little to no meat because Sagiri didn't want to eat it. So the former Mu Fan didn't prepare any.
Of course, Mu Fan now couldn't afford to buy it.
"But it's good having such a good younger sister!" Mu Fan couldn't help but sight. Because in the memories of his predecessor's cooking skills made him seem like someone with no experience in cooking. Without worrying about the possibility of starving with his sister, Mu Fan attached the apron to his body. He was prepared to start cooking for Sagiri, suddenly an electronic tone was heard in his mind:
–The Fantasy system detected the host's thoughts and is loading.–
–The Fantasy system is now turned on. Since the host opened the system for the first time, he will get a free talent.–
–Fantasy system's cooking talent is being opened—
–Cooking talent Installed—
–Confirming the Host—
–Procedure in progress—
…
–Ding—-For activating the cooking talent, the host received a novice package—
The host should complete this task: –Give The lovely Sagiri perfect food! Mission Goal: The food has to satisfy Sagiri. Reward: Cooking talent will be upgraded, and a random cooking skill will be acquired and some fantasy points.–

After crossing over to another world which seemed to be a fusion between many anime worlds, The Fantasy System was unlocked for Mu Fan. After finishing the tasks given by the system, Fantasy points are given which allows him to gain access to the Fantasy store that was full of daily talents and more.

Yuuki Asuna: You know how to cook a lot of dishes. Can you teach me?

Sagiri: I don’t know anyone called Eromanga-Sensei.

Many more characters and interesting plots await us.

The event had already started when Xiong Zhi arrived.
She had a seat reserved for her in the investors' group on the front row by the corner.
While she was led forward to the front row by the head staff, she straightaway spotted Song Xuantin and Xiao Mei.
Her eyes scanned the seats in the front area quietly, until she found the person she was looking for at the other end of the row. Only then did she finally sat down on her seat.
The writer of the original novel where the film was adapted from was on the stage, currently giving a brief overview of the plot, the characters, and the inspiration of the movie.
The media was focused on recording what was happening on the stage while sometimes focusing on the main leads.
Thus, Xiong Zhi's silent entrance did not take much attention with the deliberate arrangement of the staff.
The media's eyes were all on the movie's casting. After all, this was the first Chinese-Hollywood movie of this scale, and this was expected to become a huge event in the future.
The main production team were experienced in producing many Hollywood movies and often cooperates with international level studios. The special effects team were also top-tier in the world and had produced international box-office hero, adventure, and fantasy films.
Almost the entire backstage of the film consisted of foreign and international experts, with the teams from the domestic industry mainly interspersed to assist in the production and planning. 
With such super-powered international teams backing up the mainly Chinese cast of the film, once this was broadcasted to the public, the whole country would definitely boil with passion, curiosity, and pride. It would arouse much public attention and anticipation.
As journalists, it was their honor to be able to present first-hand coverage and information to the public!
"Let's give a round of applause to Mr. Write. Thank you for sharing your inspiration, Mr. Write. I am sure that this movie will become a spectacular hit in the industry. Now, everyone, I would like to ask for your attention. Let us welcome, the cast of the Sino-American Hollywood film production, 'Lone Star and Its Night'."
The crowd applauded.
The invited media and the celebrity guests, who attended the event to buy soy sauce and brush up their presence, all looked at the front.
Finally, the highlight of the event.
The journalists prepared their notepads and cameras to capture this moment. This would be the first time that the production team would announce to the public the characters and the leading roles. They must grab the front seat and release their articles as soon as possible.
The announcement of the cast began, starting from the minor leads and slowly moving up.
"Let's invite Mr. Yang Gun to the stage, for the role of the 'god of goodness'..."
Many names were mentioned.
Soon, Su Lin's turn also came up. After announcing the minor leads who were mainly experienced but no longer popular actors, the secondary leads who climbed to the stage were renowned people who were currently very prestigious and with great skill. Only a few were relatively new but had great potential, like Su Lin.
The media enthusiastically recorded everything.
They did not raise their voices to ask questions but inwardly speculated as to which actors must have used backstage to secure the role.
Everyone came up on stage and soon, the first few rows near the stage became sparsely populated. The actors and actresses were lined up at the stage.
Now, there were only two main roles left unannounced.
"I know you are excited to meet our leading roles. Prepare your horses..." The host looked at the shining eyes of the journalists and could not help adding up to the atmosphere.
Xiong Wuyue gulped with anticipation. An eyebrow rose in arrogance.
Two people…
 Who would be the lucky person to work with her?
She just hoped that it was someone who had lots of fame and good reputation.
It was important so that their CP would boost her popularity and good image.
"The actor for the role of 'Night' is the new rising King of Entertainment! I think we all know who he is."
The journalists' eyes shone bright. They already knew who it was. But they still waited for the person name's to come out from the host's mouth.
"Let's invite Mr. Liu De on the stage!"
Liu De, a tall and handsome young man who had a beautiful face and was oozing with hormones, stood up and waved to the crowd.
Xiong Wuyue looked at the man scrutinizingly before nodding in approval. She was at ease to know that this was the person she would be working with.
This Hollywood movie was really a great opportunity.
The male lead was even the King of Entertainment, the 'National Husband'. He was befitting enough for her, the rising Queen of Entertainment.
It was a good match up. The public relations could use this to rile up more speculation and if controlled well, they could expand and strengthen their influence.
Xiong Wuyue smiled in satisfaction. The popularity of the movie would surely grow two-fold with them as the leads.
'The Lone Star and Its Night'* had a good fantasy plot. It captured the readers' hearts when it was just a novel. It was an internationally famous Chinese-themed novel.
A lot of people had clamored for it to become a movie, wanting to see their most beloved characters come to life.
Of course, if the casting was not handled well, then the backlash would be tremendous, too.
Now that a famous Hollywood production team planned to adapt a movie from the novel, it would surely become a thunderous hit in the industry, like what the host said.
This was why Xiong Wuyue wanted to star in it. It was a huge step to further solidify her upcoming title, the Queen of Entertainment.
"Now, everyone. Let's meet our leading lady!"
Xiong Wuyue's heart thumped.
It was her turn to go to the stage.
Was her make up alright? Did her clothes look good?
She had never asked herself like this before. She never lacked courage and confidence with her appearance.
However, the image of the woman on the mirror she had seen three days ago made her worried.
They wouldn't see that same image when they look at her, would they?
Yes, they should not. She was the queen of the entertainment world. She just needed a bit of time to recuperate and she would have her fresh and beautiful body back.
For now, she had to take make an appearance and let the world know that she was Xiong Wuyue, the Queen.
Xiong Wuyue's eyes shone.
"Although a few of you should have seen her come in earlier, but I guess I should still give a hint? She is a net red actress the moment she made her debut, starred in various movies, and won awards in the past two years. She had made appearances in various international movies with her charming phoenix eyes, forming an international fan base as well."
'That's me.' Xiong Wuyue straightened up and touched her phoenix eyes.
That's right. She was still the beautiful Xiong Wuyue.
"Recently, she took the protagonist role of the vicious daughter in the Cursed Family Series**."
!!!
The media was excited.
They knew that national television drama, which was shown in the official national television channel of the country in prime time.
It was a blackhorse, unexpectedly becoming very popular and even inspired a number of audience around the globe.
This drama was even bought in broadcasting rights, dubbed, and aired in nearby countries.
They knew who the 'vicious daughter' was. She was still a relatively new actress yet she already got such a huge role in a large Sino-Hollywood film?!
Contrary to their excitement, Xiong Wuyue stiffened.
Her mind blanked out, and only two phrases remained, as if the rest were selectively forgotten.
What did they say?
'Vicious Daughter?'
'Cursed Family?'
Was it about her father being jailed for the alleged attempt murder of a family member?
Was is because she was branded as the criminal's daughter?
Yes, that must be it.
Did they really need to be so vicious about the Xiong family's scandal?
Were they not afraid of the Xiong family teaching them a lesson?
 Xiong Wuyue's unsteady state of mind failed to see what it was truly about and convinced herself that these people were simply too much, even daring to offend the Xiong family.
She thought that they were bullying her in purpose because of her father's crime.
However, again, her father was no longer there to protect her. She could only swallow this insult.
Once she made her comeback, she would definitely teach them a lesson.
"I know you already got the idea, so without further ado, let us invite to the stage…"
Xiong Wuyue, although annoyed, prepared herself to stand up.
She straightened out her clothes first.
"Miss Song Xuantin, our 'Lone Star'!"
Two women stood up at the same time.
******
*Your Song is My Melody: The Lone Star and It's Night- it is one of the author's upcoming novel she(I) was working at.
It was about a man who reincarnated two times and met a cursed girl whom he loved two times. Because of the tremendous amount of his good deeds, a god recruited him as a disciple. But he declined and wished instead to be reincarnated in the world where the cursed world was living in. It was to accompany her through her worst times. The 'Lone Star' was the girl and her 'Night' was the good man. 
(Hopefully, it would be famous like what I've written here hehe)
** -The Cursed Family Series- The series that author(I) was working on. It was already available in Webnovel, though for a few chaps only. You can search the title and check the first novel of the series; The Cursed Family Series: The Villainous Daughter.


Xiong Zhi ran away from her unwanted marriage.

That day, Linfeng, her aide, died while protecting her. The man who she held dearly in her heart died in her arms.

In her last breath, she uttered,

"Never again to be weak...Never again wasted our precious time...I'll promise...In the next lifetime... I will protect you...and..love you..."

Full of regrets, she closed her eyes, wanting to be united with the man in the underworld.

However, when she opened her eyes, she found herself in her sixteen-year-old body.

Realizing she had a second chance, the cold, indifferent, obedient, and meek young miss of the Xiong family was reborn as a strong, sharp, vengeful, bold, and confident woman.

In this lifetime, she will fulfill her promise with no regrets.

Of course, including seducing Linfeng again.

After five years, Ning Xi has returned and is out to take revenge on the sister who turned her parents against her and the childhood sweetheart who betrayed her for her sister. She aims to fulfill her childhood dream and become a famous actress. However, her sister is still out to get her, and she has to avoid all her underhanded schemes.

One day, after falling into one of her sisters' schemes, she meets an adorable kid and saves him. This is how Ning Xi found herself staying at the autistic little kid's house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father, Lu Tingxiao, starts falling for her too.

*************************************************

POSITIVE REVIEW :

This is truly a gem.
I've read the Chinese raws up to 1500+
The story line isn't particularly deep, but it's very engaging. Honestly speaking, I don't think that a deep plot is necessary for a novel of this genre either.
What that pulls you into this novel is the interaction between the characters.
The characters have their unique personality, and the hilarious way which they interact with one another is what that builds the story.
I'll recommend it for those who are looking for a slice of life, doting, comedy, with a pinch of face-slapping from time to time.

CRITICAL REVIEW :

The first chapters are more or less entertaining but as the story goes on, it becomes heavier to read.

Same type of villainess. ALWAYS GIRLS (woah! Surprise!) who are envious of MC and try to use poisonous words to humiliate Ning Xi (mostly, througth wealth comparations). Implying that she's a "cheap" woman who only knows to sleep with powerful men for money, status and power.

Also, MC's first love is a brainless guy. Really, very annoying...

Big Bun is the typical perfect guy that knows MC is a strong and independent woman and whenever she's in problems he lets her solve by her own but... Hey, actually, I'm always helping you in the shadows. Hey! Notice me! Look how powerful man I'm. Marry me.

Also, the extra people that acts as gossippers whenever Villainess A, B, C, D, E... tries to humiliate her are always as brainless as MC's first love shitty guy. Always like "there goes MC! Villaines A said she's a slut, therefore, she must be a slut!" "MC is such a lucky woman, she may even have real talent..." "But, hey, Villainess B critized her clothes! Actually, she's always wearing the same no name brand, she must be poor. Ha! MC is so pitiable, she wears clothes like a beggar! *giggle*"

An Xiaxia felt her cheeks heat up. "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Sheng Yize blinked. "You don't? Here, take a bite. Then you'll have to stop being angry."
He offered his hand to An Xiaxia. His well-defined fingers were slender but strong, and even better-looking than a girl's.
She gritted her teeth and bit down.
However, Sheng Yize's bones were too hard and her teeth hurt from the biting. She let go of his hand with distaste.
There was a little smile on Sheng Yize's face.
"Bite me and you'll have to take responsibility for me." He pretended to be a weakling.
An Xiaxia was speechless. "Hey! It was only one bite!"
"But it was painful and I'm hurt. You'll have to comfort me." A certain scheming guy demonstrated how cunning he could be and there was no limit to his shamelessness.
"You – you – you…" An Xiaxia was so shocked that all words failed her. "It was painful?"
She had only nibbed on it!
"Yes, very." Sheng Yize lowered his head, acting all pitiful.
An Xiaxia watched him in frustration, then reached out with her small hand and rubbed his head. "Fine. Good boy. Baby Sheng, stop crying…"
Sheng Yize froze for two seconds, finding the nickname "Baby Sheng" utterly repulsive.
However, he then moved on to buttering An Xiaxia up. "The baby needs a kiss. Only a kiss can remove the pain."
An Xiaxia couldn't take it anymore. "You wish! Sheng Yize, you're going too far!"
"Going too far?" Sheng Yize looked at her innocently. "You're going to have a baby with me and I'm going too far? You took advantage of me first."
An Xiaxia needed a minute to realize what he had said.
"'Baby Sheng' is you, not my child! Sheng Yize, you're such a dog!"
"Xiaxia, since you've taken the initiative, how can I bring myself to refuse? Don't worry, we'll have a baby as soon as you're old enough. Which do you prefer, a boy or a girl?" Sheng Yize smiled, leading An Xiaxia into his trap without breaking a sweat.
An Xiaxia cried a river in her heart. It was true. Having a smart boyfriend meant she had no hope of winning a quarrel!
-
After the "jealous episode" was over, An Xiaxia began to watch the "Banished Immortal" every day without fail.
It was a pretty decent TV drama. The actors and actresses were good-looking, the plot was interesting, and the special effects were exceptional. Once it aired, it started another Chinese fantasy series trend.
During the self-study period, the dark-faced Sheng Yize copied homework for An Xiaxia while she secretly watched the drama on her phone.
"Is it that good?" Sheng Yize found it baffling.
Over the past few days, An Xiaxia had watched the dozen or so episodes that were already out on repeat. She didn't even have time to do her homework.
He couldn't bear to see her get punished for this and had to write her homework for her after finishing his own. He would be lying if he didn't admit he was frustrated.
An Xiaxia wiped her tears away with a tissue. "It's really good… Sob, Yehuan is such a heartbreaking character… How much courage he must have had to abandon immortality and became a demon…"
Sheng Yize shook his head, sighed, and went back to doing homework for her.
When the last bell of the day rang, An Xiaxia's eyes were already as red as a rabbit's.
Su Xiaomo smacked her on the back of her head. "Hey, Xiaxia, are you still watching it?"
"Hm…" An Xiaxia was still watching the part where Yehuan became a demon over and over again.
Su Xiaomo commented sarcastically, "The real person is sitting right beside you. What are you doing watching Yehuan when Sheng Yize is right here!"
An Xiaxia retorted, holding onto her phone, "It's not the same!"
Su Xiaomo was speechless and was smart enough to change the subject. "Fine. Christmas is coming and the school is holding a Christmas ball. Do you know who you're going with?"


As an anti-fan of the idol group, Starry Night, An Xiaxia is happy to spend her time online slandering lead singer Sheng Yize. 

But things take an unexpected turn when An Xiaxia starts high school - the Starry Night trio somehow becomes her classmates, and even end up moving into her house. 

Also, the nation’s idol Sheng Yize seems particularly interested in An Xiaxia for some reason...

Sheng Yize: Xiaxia, if I and a chicken wing fall into the water together, which one will you save?

An Xiaxia: Hm… I can't swim, so obviously you're going to save yourself and get my chicken wing out!

Sheng Yize: I thought I was the nation’s idol???
