Arya walked away from Ryu, enough for him to not hear her voice. She answered the phone and heard her Mom crying on the other end of the line. 

"Mom, what's going on? What happened?" She asked nervously. Panic struck her, she thought that something must have gone wrong.

"No, dear, there's nothing to worry. I'm just so happy. It's my tears of joy. The doctor just told me that they have already had a matching donor for your sister. They confirmed the date of the operation:  this coming Tuesday. Dear, your sister will now be fine." Her Mom was stammering and still sobbing in a low tone.

Then, her mom added, "And your dad called. The trial was at his advantage. New pieces of evidence were found to prove that he was just being framed up." 

Arya heard her Mom cry out loud this time.

Her father was the CEO of Tan Corporation. He has been arrested for felony charges, causing Tan Corporation to collapse and went bankrupt. His trial was still ongoing.

Her family had encountered a catastrophe in just a day. On that one day, everything was gone: their mansion, their cars, everything was confiscated, and all their bank accounts were frozen.

She had asked for help but no one wanted to get involved. Her mom was just a simple housewife. While she even struggled on her last year at college. Thankfully, Kay helped her and she was able to graduate that year.

They became penniless, without her dad. Then, her sister Reese collapsed because of another kidney failure. Reese was born weak from the start and had already undergone an operation before. Right now, she needed a transplant and was an in-patient at the hospital for close monitoring.

Then, Rita's offer came, right in time, at that crucial moment…

Arya noticed that Ryu was staring at her from a distance. 

'I am so sorry Ryu.' She said inwardly as she gave him her sweetest smile, tears falling down from her eyes. Those were tears of happiness for her sister and dad.

She was far from him so she was sure Ryu couldn't notice it. Then, she turned around from him to wipe those tears.

"That's good news, Mom. I am so happy to hear that. I have to go now. Please, make sure you also take care of yourself and don't worry too much. I love you." She said in a soft and encouraging voice before she hung up the phone.

As she walked back to Ryu, the previous question popped up once more in her mind. Was she willing to take that risk and confess everything to Ryu? The answer was NO.

Her family was her priority and she wouldn't let a moment of joy, with someone who she wasn't even sure how long could be with her, sway her over her family. No, she wouldn't take that risk.

Ryu smiled at her and asked, "Is everything alright?" 

Arya just winked and said, "Yes. She just missed me. You see, we have very close family ties."

"Oh, that's good, so you probably can uphold a good family of your own in the future," Ryu commented. 

Arya shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe yes, or maybe no. I think it will always depend on how the person will handle things, but the environment has a big impact on one's upbringing I guess."

Then, she got curious about his family, so she asked, "How about you. Does tycoon like you have close family ties as well? Or it is really like in the dramas, where siblings and relatives fight each other for power, position, and money?"

Ryu laughed and said, "I'm not quite sure how to describe my family, but yeah, it's often the same. Besides, those dramas are based on real life, aren't they? Though, they usually exaggerate some details for viewer's ratings."

During their sake drink, Arya and Ryu got to know each other more, talking about various stuff and about their lives.

"So, how many girlfriends did you have?" She asked out of curiosity.

"One?" He said with a grin.

"Liar! Go and tell that to the marines instead. Anyway, how old are you?" She asked with twitched lips. 

That's absolutely not true. He looked about at his late 20's or early 30's. 

Nowadays, even a twelve-year-old kid already had a girlfriend. What more him? Handsome, powerful and very rich, plus his personality was pleasing so far.

"I just turned 30 this year. How about you, how many boyfriends did you have?" He asked in return.

"One?" Arya answered back, copying his tone.

"I'm that one? How about that asshole, don't you count him? I said one because, believe it or not, but you are the first and the only one I have asked to be my girlfriend." Ryu said with creased forehead while he looked intently at her.

Arya's eyebrow arched in disbelief as she asked, "Are you for real? Just me at that age? Jim was my first boyfriend."

"So, I'm the second. You should have said two, not one And yeah, I am for real. What can I do? Until you came, there was no one able to catch my attention." Ryu said as he pouted his lips to show his grumpiness.

"Sorry, it was a bad joke. I was just copying your answer since I thought you're just kidding." She said as she gave him her killer smile.

Ryu leaned forward to give her a quick kiss on her lips. "You look so lovely with that smile. I can't help but kiss you," he said grinning.

Arya pursed her lips. "Why are you so smoochy. It's our first day and you already move so fast. Don't you know that Jim never even got to kiss me after our almost a month of relationship?"

"Well, that was his loss. Why we should move slowly. I hate moving slow, like a turtle. I want to do things fast." Ryu said then drank the cup of his sake.

Arya's eyes widened. 'What does he mean by that? Don't tell me he intends to make fast movements on her, like bedding her?" Arya's face paled. That was not a part of the deal, was it? She had to call Kay ASAP!!!

The meanest person to you could sometimes be the one who loved you the most...
---

Arya Tan made a reckless decision because of a desperate situation. She had to disappear from his sight to save her loved ones. In return, she vowed to repay the debt she owed him if they were to meet again.

Ryu Ken gave his heart to only one woman.
But that woman left, broke his heart and hurt him. So, he vowed to find her, despite how long it would take. He would give her the punishment she deserved.

======
Excerpt:

"Leaving already? You seem to be in such a rush to talk to me. Why don't you spill it out now?"

Stunned, Arya wondered if she was hallucinating. The voice was very familiar. Her mind was spinning; she thought he sounded like Ryu. Then it occurred to her that the anger she was feeling might just clouding her judgment.

She abruptly shook her head and declared, "It's okay, I can wait outside. Dress first and let's talk after that. Call the reception once you are ready."

She heard the man chuckle as if amused, a familiar sound that made her turned around. She gasped when she almost bumped into a man's wet chest.

"Um sorry, you sound familiar." She said slightly, bowing her head to hide her flushed face.

She felt the man's arm encircled her waist while she was abruptly pulled towards him.

He then leaned forward and scornfully whispered into her ear, "Aren't you here to negotiate? I was hoping you had a better offer."

Arya frowned and abruptly pushed the man, attempting to get away from him. Instead, she was pushed back until she could feel her back pinned against the wall.

She tilted her head to look up at the rude man and was left with open-mouthed looking at a familiar face.

She was shocked but mumbled, "Ryu?"

Ryu smirked and stared at Arya's slightly opened lips and said, "Did you miss me? How about this?"

Before Arya can utter another word, Ryu captured her lips abruptly and kissed her roughly.

Arya felt the familiar lips that were deeply probing hers. It was the familiar conquering lips that, for six months, she had missed terribly.

The kiss that made her legs weak. They trembled slightly. Butterflies fluttered from her throat down to her stomach, sending a shiver through her core.

This was the kiss she had been longing for her entire life.

fyi. cover is mine; commissioned art by Shanart

People should know that This story is a mixture from C-drama, And K-drama that I am watching right now and the story style is not mine, I just wrote the fighting scenes on my imagination, while sad scenes are what I took from dozens of fanfic and K-drama while Romance is from C-drama wuxia version

Man those K-dramas are addictive, so are those wuxia C-dramas, and that's the reason these updates are slow as well I don't write often I watch dramas often, AAAAAGGGHHHHH, those Dramas are like drugs

But like I said the novel cannot run solely on tragedies long enough, should I turn it into a comedic novel or action novel, I will experiment it with action for a few chapters please provide a response

And yes for few chapters there won't be much of a tragedy since I cannot do it much often, I will just experiment with action and if it doesn't turn out good I will try with comedy as I said and I repeat the novel cannot run on tragedies much longer that's impossible, I need a freaking variation

[Plese comments on this, and provide response Huh!!]

The next day the audition of Dynasty Elegy was organized for Eddie. It was to take place later on in the evening as it was not a formal audition. Also, it could only be done when the producers and directors were available.
When Eddie arrived, she was surprised to see the director Malloy Gentry in the room. Malloy was a specialist in the industry. Since the nineteen-eighties, he had been focusing on costume dramas.
Some of his former work was "Emperors" and "A Dream of the Spring Building." They had become classic plays written in novels. He was now in his sixties this year and was known as the national opera treasure. The people of his country greatly valued this.
Malloy Gentry had turned many of his novels into numerous films. So knowing how famous he was, it was a privilege for the actors and actresses to have a chance to act in one of his movies. Eddie became very nervous and flustered when she saw Malloy backstage, "Malloy, Director Malloy, hello."
Malloy glanced at her with an expressionless look on his face, "Are you auditioning for Mae today?"
"Yes, I am."
"Come with me, and I will show where to get your makeup put on."
Without saying another word, he turned around. Eddie froze for a second, she felt tense, and her body was shaky and then she followed Malloy. The audition was based on two things, the personal image and the performance. To save time, they had decided not to use makeup today, but Malloy insisted that it had to be done.
Before it started, Eddie could feel herself getting very nervous again. She took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down. Eddie looked in the mirror after they were done with her makeup and was amazed at the work, she touched her face because it seemed so real. Mae had a facial scar, so her makeup was done to look exactly the same as the character.
Two of the main characters in the play were Prince Raines and the Emperor. Prince Raines was taught at the age of three how to write. Then at the age of five, he was shown how to fight in a battle. The Emperor had a kind heart and had a great deal of love for his son.
The palace was very treacherous, and because of this, there was an alleged assassination attempt against the Emperor. The arrow was stuck close to the Emperor's heart. On his deathbed, he commanded Prince Raines to rule in his place.
Mae was a perfect match for him, and she was intelligent and affectionate. In the play, Mae was saved by Sally when she was a child and brought to live with her as a servant. Mae had a special place in the Yale Family. She wasn't treated like the other servants.
Ever since Mae was a child, she and Sally were always together. Mae was very efficient at reading and writing, and she was also proficient in embroidery. The scar on her face did not make others treat her differently, but it was known as a sign of her bravery for being Sally's loyal protector. It was for that reason that Mae was different from all the servants.
Such a character was inevitably extravagant for a newcomer. A few well-known actresses chose Malloy's role, but when they were told that her appearance was disfigured, they didn't want the part.
Eddie was in the dressing room, thinking about her part in the play. The director brought in the stylist himself, and the stylist was a little nervous as she knew the makeup had to be done well. The makeup artist was also a little upset when she was asked to stay late, but as soon as she started doing Eddie's makeup and saw her creation, she immediately felt relieved.
Before Eddie's audition, a few of the producers got together to discuss the script and the budget for the movie. This was something that was typically done on a daily basis. They all gathered around the table in the auditioning room, and then Eddie walked in.
Dynasty Elegy was a joint venture with several large companies. There was a lot invested in this movie. They had to take into consideration the cost for the Emperor's palace, and the clothing had to be extremely sophisticated.
Mae's role was no exception. The dark black dress was made of fine silk, and Eddie's pale skin made it look even more frosty. When they saw Eddie walk in, they were all impressed. Malloy didn't speak, but Bob liked it, "Nice temperament."
He completely forgot that he didn't like Eddie. His reason being was because Eddie was not a well-known actress. Eddie had a quiet and introverted style that was transcendent to her peers. She stood tall and graceful, and almost everyone was attracted to her before she had even spoken.
Mae's scar was long and covered half of her face; it looked horrible. But on Eddie's face, it was as if it wasn't even noticed. When Eddie walked into the room, she instantly became Mae from the novel.
Malloy carefully glanced at Eddie with a thoughtful eye and then said blandly, "Now that you have read both the script and the novel, you have chosen to play it yourself."
"Director, this…" Bob looked at him with a surprised look on his face. An actor's audition was either the most challenging plot or the best plot to reflect the character. Only in this way can the actor's level be tested.
It was rare for an actor to choose for themselves. Malloy was a veteran, but a demanding director. He was not a soft-spoken person, so he let Eddie pick which scene. Bob and Malloy had worked together for more than a decade and understood this character. Malloy had chosen this character for Eddie, but he thought for sure she would do a poor job.
Bob saw that Malloy had finished talking, and he looked over at Eddie again. It seemed that Malloy had a different view of Eddie than him. Eddie looked a little doubtful, and she hesitated before asking, "So any paragraph will do?"
"Yes, do whichever one you want," Malloy gave Eddie a strange look and then nodded. Eddie pursed her lips slightly and slowly took two steps back to adjust her position. She took a deep breath and then suddenly the room went quiet.
When Eddie looked up at them, it was as though she had already made up her mind, "I'm going to pick the last scene. The one where Mae asks permission to leave the palace to defend the tomb of Prince Raines."
Malloy nodded again and said, "Please proceed with the scene."
Eddie took a few deep breaths trying to calm her nerves. She closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them, it was as though she became someone else. Eddie's temperament and even the emotions on her face seemed different.
She placed her hands in front of her and stood to the side, and her posture was the same as the woman in the palace. It was most commonly seen in historical dramas. Back in the eighteen hundreds, the servants were expected to dress in a manner that was modest, fit for the station, tidy, and clean. Eddie's physical appearance matched Mae's role entirely.
She lowered her head, and Eddie's face assumed a serious expression. She led them slowly into a dignified and solemn situation as if they were all in the palace. Her voice sounded restrained, "My Queen, it is Mae, and I beg you to listen to me."
As soon as they heard her voice, Kane Jacobson and Quentin Landry looked at her respectfully, but with profound curiosity. The intense sensation startled Eddie.
She had so much meaning and feeling in her voice, and she had no idea of what a strong impression it had made on them.

She is an unknown actress Edie Lara, who had a one night stand with the Noble Prince and the CEO Of L.N Group, Stuart Yates. He is every woman’s dream but not for someone like Edie. 

Stuart was said to be gay, but people behind him don't know the tragic past that pushed him to change into a different man. Stuart offered Edie a contract marriage after the passionate night they shared. He told her it would only last for six months until his family and shareholders could prove that he is not gay. 

Suddenly, Edie discovered the truth that Stuart is not gay but he had a rare type of phobia. She then fell in love with him. He did everything to let her stay beside him. One day someone pretends to be Stuart’s ex-fiancee after he met an accident, would he still remember his wife, Edie? Would their story ends tragically, or their love will remind him of the woman who is bound to be his fate from the very beginning? Would he still remember how deeply he loved her? Can Edie stand all the struggles along the way when she felt alone and unloved by her husband?






Special Note: If you are looking for a sweet contemporary-romance genre, this novel doesn't have that kind of plot. Most plots of my novel talk about mystery, suspense, and a slice of life. Often FL starts a slow pace of development, from weak to strong.

"Yes." Secretary Xiao Liu nodded. Then, he got agitated again. "Currently, because our Zhong Dian website is too explosively popular, many companies contacted us to purchase the copyright to adapt our app. Negotiations are currently going on for all the copyrights for the novels of the five Supreme Gods, and many have already been sold. And the amount earned from these copyrights…" Speaking up to this point, he paused for a while, then cautiously said, "Extremely high!"
Copyright! The explosive popularity on the internet had resulted in various developments regarding the copyrights of the novels!
This was indeed a super good piece of big news. Though a single copyright alone might not be able to be sold for much, with so many books, if they were all sold, how much money would that bring in?! 
"This is good news!" Hong Weiguo was shocked. "Then, Xiao Liu, currently, how much have we earned from the various copyrights?"
Hong Weiguo understood the value of the copyrights. However, he didn't have a clear idea of how much the copyrights for the online novels could be sold for. He only knew that the copyrights would definitely be worth a lot of money!
"CEO Hong, currently, the movie adaptation copyright for the novels of the Supreme God, Dark Dragon of the Universe, has been sold for 1.2 million, the copyright for the television drama has been sold for 850,000, the copyright for the online gaming adaptation has been sold for 1.6 million, the copyright for the publication of the simplified Chinese version has been sold for 2 million, and the copyright for the comic has been sold for 1.5 million." Speaking up to this point, Xiao Liu looked at the document again. "Adding up everything, the total is… 7.15 million. This is only for the copyright of one novel."
Upon hearing what he said, Hong Weiguo and the others stared at each other and took in deep breaths at the same time.
7.15 million!
This figure seemed much inferior to the one from the smartphone reading app, but the significance behind this was definitely extraordinary!
Copyright development, what did this mean? This meant that the online novel website still had much more potential to be discovered!
If one novel's copyright was sold, there would be a second one! A third one!
By then, the authors would also write better works, and then it would snowball till a solid and huge amount. In that case, coupled with the earnings from the subscriptions, it would increase in many folds!
Reputation effect, this was the reputation effect!
"Old Hong, looks like this time, we've earned big money!" Mu Tie sighed. "Though it looks only so-so now, in the future, when it increases in scale, we can better join forces with various companies in various aspects and form a big network! A true network formed between the internet and reality!"
"Yes!" Liu Yihui remarked. "We can venture into other aspects through the novel website. After there are more sales of copyrights, by then, we can firmly take control of the publishing, film, drama, online gaming, comic, and other various channels! Once these channels open… Hehe, we can expand towards anything related to literature and words!" 
Three people, by only saying these few sentences, had decided on so many business services. No wonder Xiao Liu said that these were even more impressive compared to purely earning from subscriptions!
After all, there was a limit to the subscription earnings, because there was only a limited number of people who were willing to read books. It was very possible that once it grew towards a certain extent, it would reach a point of saturation.
But there was no limit to carrying out expansions through the copyrights!
If people didn't read books, they would still watch movies and dramas. If they didn't watch movies and dramas, they would play games. If they didn't play games, there would still be other aspects that they would come into contact with. Even little children would read comics adapted from novels to kill time.
And once all these had been expanded, by then, the level of influence of Sangle, Jianbao Plaza and Turkey Software would definitely be more wide-reaching!
"Sigh," Hong Weiguo took in a deep breath. "This child Dali…" Speaking up to this point, he didn't really know what kind of tone he should use. He only sighed and helplessly said, "Who would think that such a big thing was initially just for that small rascal to squander on?"
"This…" Mu Tie also felt that the world was pretty amazing. "Back then, how much money did Dali spend to make this? It would cost at least tens of millions, right?"
"How is it possible to cost so much." Hong Weiguo shrugged. "Back then, he only spent 2 million to buy a novel website that was on the verge of closing down."
Mu Tie: "…" Liu Yihui: "…"
The office was silent for a full one minute, then Secretary Xiao Liu cautiously said, "Oh right, CEO Hong, there is something else that I forgot to say just now…"
"Something else?" Hong Weiguo felt that there was too much information to take in today. "What else is there?"
"Mm…" Xiao Liu looked at the document. "Currently, a few novels at our website have been spotted by an editor at Merika. They're planning to translate it to English, then publish and sell it in Merika. Currently, the copyright fee that they offered is one million USD per novel."
"This…" This time, Hong Weiguo and the other two were truly shocked. "Our novels are going out of Asia and onto the global scale?!"
Xiao Liu nodded. "S… Seems like it…"
…
While Hong Weiguo and the others were exclaiming in awe, Hong Dali was preparing for his end-of-year examinations bored out of his mind…
This world was slightly different from his previous life—the lessons here were simpler, and consequently, the holidays were slightly shorter by about half a month or so… 
After all, Hong Dali was an outstanding university student in his previous life. He could still handle all these high school lessons, but the problem was that the history of this world was completely different from that in his previous life, so he decisively became a freeloader—
Hong Dali winked at Ji Zhiruo who was not far away from him. "Zhiruo, multiple choice question, multiple choice question!" 
Ji Zhiruo stared at the invigilator and didn't dare to move. However, Hong Dali had provided much help to her family, so she couldn't reject him. The little lass was, however, quite witty, and very soon, her eyes lit up and she stretched out a finger—question one!
Hong Dali fiercely nodded and asked, "The answer?"
Then, Ji Zhiruo pointed at her chest…
Hong Dali: "What does this mean?"
Ling Yi at the side instantly understood. "C!"
"Oh…" Hong Dali didn't care about what it meant and directly chose C.
Then, Ji Zhiruo stretched out two fingers. Question two. Then, she pointed at another girl in the class. Ling Yi: "Choose B!"
For the subsequent questions, while Ling Yi wrote his own answers, he relayed the answers to Hong Dali: "A… D… D… C… B… A… D… B… C…"
Very soon, he completed all the multiple choice questions. Hong Dali heaved a long sigh of relief. "Hope that I'll be able to pass…"
Ring—
Very soon, the examination ended. All the students in the class stood up and cheered, "We've finally finished taking the exams! It's vacation time now, hahahaha!"
Meanwhile, Hong Dali curiously asked Ling Yi, "Ling Yi, how did you know which answers Zhiruo was referring to?"
Ling Yi straightly answered, "Bra size!"
The boys in the class "oh-ed" in unison, and the girls' faces turned very red!
But after all, it was vacation. He had to go out and celebrate. Hong Dali laughed heartily, ignoring the shy faces of the girls around him as he loudly said, "Summer vacation! Brothers, let Brother Dali bring you to play! Whoever wants to come along, quickly sign up for it!"
"I'll go, I'll go!" In no time, all the students in the class raised their hands.
"OK! Then let's set off! Hahaha!" Hong Dali snapped his finger. "The outer area of Tianjing Mountain, let's go!"
Everyone instantly went out. Tang Muxin was waiting outside the room long ago, and once she saw Hong Dali, she went forward, smiled and said, "Dali, how was the exam?"
Hong Dali: "No problem, I wrote all the bra sizes correctly!"
All the girls were greatly embarrassed again…
Tang Muxin ferociously stepped on Hong Dali's feet. "Despicable!"
"Pain pain pain!" Hong Dali jumped up. "I said it wrong. I mean that I've managed to answer all the multiple choice questions… Let's not talk about this, quickly quickly, to the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. I've just received a message. Uncle Chief's side is going to send the Mechanical Holy Garments over!"
…
Tianjing City, southern city area, in the Qian Family's secret villa.
Through the meticulous styling of the makeup artist, Shiroishi Kazuma had completely changed his style. Now, he looked like a middle-aged man around 40 years or above, and his mustache had been shaved completely. He was bald, and his eyes were not big but were very expressive.
It wasn't an overstatement to say that unless someone really knew that he was Shiroishi Kazuma, even if they sat opposite him, they would definitely be unable to recognize him.
"Young Master Qian, how are things going regarding the things I've instructed on?" Currently, Shiroishi Kazuma was sitting on the sofa, looking through the information regarding online gaming. The two online games that Ko Gohon had managed back then were called "Spiritual Sword" and "Dragon Domain" respectively. They were both the big productions by a Korean company and were full 3D online games. The scene was grand, the magic effects were magnificent, and there was diverse content in the game. Based on this, it proved that Ko Gohon's taste was still not too bad. 
"Mr. Shi, it has all been arranged." Qian Youjin respectfully said, "Our men have already applied and registered for two readymade companies to create a smoke screen. I believe that nobody will be able to discover us behind it." 
"Mm, that's good." Shiroishi Kazuma nodded. "We definitely cannot give them any opportunity to attack me. How's the development of the online games?"
"They can already be publicly tested." Qian Youjin slowly said, "The internal testing in the company has been completed; there aren't any problems. But there are many able people on the internet, and it's unsure whether someone would find out any BUGs, so the company's suggestion is to publicly test it for half a month or so, and if there isn't any problem, then we can officially launch it."
"OK, I understand." 
Qian Youjin thought for a while, then asked, "But, Mr. Shi, how should we advertise it to achieve the best results?"
Shiroishi Kazuma took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "Speaking of advertising, we can also think about it in another way. If you're a player and you see a gaming product on the online shop, what would cause you to download it? Most of the players would refer to the introductory page to decide whether to download the game. So, go and get the company to write a complete game introduction right away. The more detailed, the better."
"Also, create two good-looking and grand webpages for the online games. We definitely cannot neglect the introductory page for the gaming products. This is where the players will form their first impression of the game. And when a player enters in the website out of curiosity, we have only about one minute or less to introduce the game, and from there, let the player decide whether to try playing it or not."


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


Mu Yixun analyzed the situation methodically but was interrupted by Guan Xi. "Stop, stop, stop! "
Mu Yixun did not speak and looked at Guan Xi expressionlessly.
"Yixun, you just said fourth. Don't tell me there's a fifth or sixth? " Guan Xi blinked her eyes at Mu Yixun.
She did not even know that there were so many twists and turns.
Mu Yixun said plainly, "there are still a few more. "
"There's no need. "
Guan Xi shook her head. She felt that if she continued listening, she would have difficulty choosing. "just the four you just said, which one do you think is better? "
Mu Yixun flipped through her notebook with her slender fingers. "each has its pros and cons. ". When a trainee group debuted, it was usually a band or a dance company. Every year, various entertainment companies would launch a number of groups. There were almost no groups that could become popular and last for a long time.
Although participating in variety shows would attract fans quickly, it was easy for a person's image to collapse if they did not manage it well. In addition, if you continued to participate in variety shows, it was easy to give off the impression that the traffic was small and the acting skills were lacking. If you did not consider online dramas, the starting point would be too low and it would not be conducive to future development. As for television and movies... ... ..."
Speaking up to this point, Mu Yixun paused and said, "personally, I would prefer you to take the script of the television drama first and hone your acting skills. Then, you can take the script of the movie later. "
Upon hearing this, Guan Xi felt that what Mu Yixun said made sense. She nodded and agreed.
Having already decided on the route, Guan Xi and Mu Yixun began to discuss other matters.
Mu Yixun gave Guan Xi a script. "This is the script for 'city-toppling beauty' , based on Yun he's novel. It's a big IP. The director is Li Hongru, and the investment is very good. There's a role for the second female lead in it. Go back and read the script first. Give me an answer by Friday. I think we can go for an audition on Saturday. "
"Okay, " Guan Xi agreed.
If she didn't read the script now, she would have agreed to go for an audition.
After being a stand-in for so long, if she had the chance to act as the second female lead, what was there to hesitate about.
Of course, she didn't want to be afraid, so she went for it!
Mu Yixun saw Guan Xi's sparkling eyes and looked at the script. "It's an audition, but it's just a formality. The Emperor of Shang is the main investor of "city-toppling beauty. " When the time comes, he can just say a word. "
When Guan Xi heard this, she suddenly said, "can you not say a word? "
"No? "
Mu Yixun frowned slightly, not understanding Guan Xi's words.
Guan Xi curled her pink lips, shook the script in her little white hand, and said with a smile, "I want to take this role myself. If I can't pass the audition, then it proves that I'm not good enough. I can't go out and embarrass the Emperor of Shang. "
More importantly, she could not embarrass the Ninth Master!
Although she had the ninth master's strong Golden Thigh, she did not want to rely on connections from the beginning when she entered the entertainment industry.
Speaking of acting, this was her specialty.
If she could not even pass the audition, why would she act as the second female lead if she wanted to enter the entertainment industry? She could just go back to being 9th Master's virtuous little wife and obediently let 9th Master Take Care of her.
Mu Yixun could not understand Guan Xi's idea of taking a shortcut but rejecting it.
But her mission was not to understand these things.
She wanted to be Guan Xi's manager and stay by her side, that was all.
She nodded and said, "okay. "
After discussing the audition, Mu Yixun told Guan Xi about the company.
For example, Guan Xi would have a private room in the company's Lounge, the company would assign a nanny van, and there would be a separate makeup team.
Guan Xi did not raise any objections.
The material enjoyment was not like the back door of the interview, which would not harm the interests of others. Guan Xi accepted it without any pressure.

[ it's over! ] His face was expressionless and cold. This was the evaluation of Xiao Jiuyan from the entire s nation.
As for Guan Xi, other than the above points, this man was also a pervert who liked to bully others.
Guan Xi felt that the most unlucky thing in her life was that she had a face that looked exactly like Gu Wenxi's and married Xiao Jiuyan for Gu Wenxi.
She thought that she would be able to get a divorce in two years. Who knew that this man would spoil her so much!
Guan Xi said, "Master Jiu, I... We should be able to get a divorce, right? "
"Huh? " The man narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Guan Xi was terrified. "9th Master, please let me be your wife forever. "
This little wife of his was a fool!
[1V1, Gao Tian Chong Wen ]

"Ding! You've unlocked the task [Manga Artist]."
"Task requires publishing an installment of a series of manga novels and publish a single volume."
"Upon completion, you will receive the title [Manga Artist] (Drawing skills +3, design +3, scriptwriting +3.)"
There was only one phase for this task and finishing it would reward him 100 points.
Possessing a manga novel series and publishing one volume was enough to retain the title of a manga artist.
The title also came with three additional attributes.
Drawing skills, including the basic foundations and techniques, had been learned by Meng Fan after receiving the drawing skill attributes. Moreover, this drawing technique bonus didn't just include animation techniques, but other types as well. Only Meng Fan's current jobs were all related to manga.
Drawing skills would give him the abilities of a well-rounded artist.
The design included character design, environment design, stylizing, and more.
Screenwriting included dramas, adaptations, plot designs, segmentations and so on.
From the description, it was the full set of skills needed to produce a series of manga novels.
Meng Fan understood that the success of a manga would be inseparable from these three attributes. If he could attain these add-ons, it would be incredible. These attributes were also what every animation and manga student dreamed of.
If there was another related attribute that was more refined that came later, then it would be even more perfect.
Meng Fan had chosen to study drawing, specifically animation as his major. Obviously, he didn't want to just be an illustrator to get by. His ultimate goal was to become an anime practitioner.
He wanted to partake in the production of animations, as well as creating his own manga. These were all within Meng Fan's scope of pursuit.
He began to design his first manga early on already. In high school, the results had come to an eventual end. Meng Fan became in awe of manga creating.
Since he began college, Meng Fan did not give up his dream of creating a manga, only he never thought about it or tried to start one. He needed more power to prepare for the day his drawing abilities and his scriptwriting skills were at a satisfactory level. His specific field-based research had been enough to support at least half of the manga... So once he felt that everything was up to par and the timing was right, he would then begin the process of creating a manga.
After being reincarnated, because of the rewards the task [Illustrator] had netted, Meng Fan was very clear as to where his current drawing skills stood. Presently, Meng Fan's skills could certainly support the production of a manga, his drawing techniques, in particular, were enough to exceed half of the professional manga artists out there.
As for design, he was always been a leader in this aspect.
Those things, coupled with his hand speed, could mostly solve the two important factors of efficiency and perseverance.
Although [Illustrator] had awarded him with imagination, Meng Fan felt that what he lacked most was scriptwriting. This was the most important ability, far more important than drawing skills.
Now that there was an achievement task that could increase his scriptwriting skills, he was not prepared to begin a manga. Should he still go for it?
Of course!
To Meng Fan, it was a simple task.
One, it wasn't hard to create a series. Nowadays, Hua Xia's manga network was vast and made it easy for anyone who wanted to upload their manga series. Even if the system didn't recognize an online series, Meng Fan had a way of finding a manga network to officiate his series. The System couldn't have requirements for manga publishing studios right.
Two, it was also not difficult to issue a single volume. Finding a serialized website or a publishing house to help Meng Fan with the publication would be quite difficult, but worst case Meng Fan could pay to publish it himself. The system probably didn't require someone else to pay right? And he couldn't be too picky when it came to publishing platforms… right?
After publishing, he could probably kiss the idea of selling it goodbye. He could just give it out.
In the end, it was not difficult to produce a manga with his current drawing skills and imagination. It wasn't hard to create one, but its quality was a different topic.
The only thing that Meng Fan did not understand was how he had triggered the task. What was the trigger mechanism of the System?
If Meng Fan or Qin Jiao suggested the idea of creating a manga could trigger the task, then that would be understandable. But this was somebody else's business.
Was it because they mentioned creating a manga? But that doesn't make sense. Mr. Ma's professional class mentioned manga creation at least five times in each lecture, yet it did not trigger a task.
Or was it because the system heard that someone else wanted to create a manga and decided it was time Meng Fan made one too and tossed him a mission?
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Jiao noticed Meng Fan's sour look after agreeing.
"I'm not happy. What else could be wrong?"
After the task was triggered, Meng Fan's heart was prancing with joy, but he couldn't say so. He pretended to dissolve his grief and anger into an appetite, making Qin Jiao speechless.
Qin Jiao was powerless as well. "If you eat like this, nevermind ten kilometers, you won't lose any weight even if you run twenty kilometers a day!"
"I do run twenty kilometers a day, but it's the first time you're actually paying for a meal you invited me to!" Meng Fan continued to scarf down the food on the table.
"You're hopeless! Fine, eat as much as you can!"
"Where are you going?"
"The bathroom. What, are you scared I'm going to run?"
"Yes!"
"Then why don't you come along?"
...
It was 9 in the evening, and Ah Feng and Cai had just left the dormitory building to pull an all-nighter at the internet cafe. They hadn't walked far when they were stopped by someone.
"Young master Hu!"
The two shouted out a name that disgusted them but had sounded sweet to Hu Ting Song. They smiled and approached him, asking, "Do you need something from us?"
Hu Ting Song had a solemn expression as he pulled out a handful of cash. "Help me teach someone a lesson. Here's two thousand HXB for you guys to buy a smoke, as long as you don't use a knife I can help you cover it up."
The two smiled, insulting him in their minds.
'If you want us to teach someone a lesson, then we'll teach someone a lesson. Who uses a knife for that? We're not dumbasses.'
They took the money. "Who did our big brother dirty? One word from you is enough!"
Hu Ting Song bit his teeth and forced out two words. "Meng Fan."
"Who? That fat ass from the animation department?"
Ah Feng stuffed the money he had just received back into the hands of Hu Ting Song. His face turned bitter. "Young master Hu, anyone else would be fine, but him, we really can't!"
They both remembered the night they had run into Meng Fan when they were 'helping' Zhao Chang Gui straighten out Chen Da Qiang. The two wanted to cry at the thought. That feeling of being suppressed by one hand and the pain that followed at any point could not be understood by most people!
They thought about it again and understood why Hu Ting Song was so desperately looking for trouble. It seemed that the victim from the story of "Three thousand is more badass than ten thousand" on campus had been the guy standing in front of them!
Yes, this iron hero could f*cking run ten kilometers. Was that not terrifying!?
Hu Ting Song creased his brows. "You guys are still afraid of him?"
The two nodded in admittance. Cai thought for a moment. "How about, you think about some other ways to deal with him?"
...
Meng Fan still followed his original plan for the evening stream. There were no more novel illustrations, so he decided to draw some mecha. It was just that he had interacted only with Hua Xia's historical culture growing up. Since he also enjoyed it too, the 'mecha' gear had been heavily influenced by ancient Hua Xia history toward the direction of armor.
It was cool to engrave a Gundam with inscriptions of traditional thunderclouds and weavings. It was also convenient to add a yin yang based formation on a transformer!
Meng Fan ended the stream at nine o'clock sharp and continued to ponder his manga job in the studio.
As he thought about it, he took out his phone once again and began to sort through the ideas and inspirations he had collected over the years.
As he sorted through them, Meng Fan discovered he had actually made quite a lot of preparations to create his own manga. 
If anything, just the research alone was enough to support a historical type manga's character, style, and environment design.
And Meng Fan believed it was possible to begin from this aspect.
Although the achievement task of [Manga Artist] made Meng Fan ecstatic to complete it and gain its attributes, it could also be attained quickly. Meng Fan thought it through; he thought that the final product had to have a certain level of quality.
They weren't strict requirements, but he should at least be able to show it off. No matter what, it had to be worthy of his own drawing skills!


To reward Meng Fan for his bravery before his heroic death, the cosmos rewarded him with a 'system', sending him back in time to three months ago, alive.

Trisha came to look for me. When we reached the entrance of the campus Avika and Riya were already waiting. We had a joyous and stress-free day outside. As we had some delicious snacks and lovely desserts it felt bliss to us. Since we ate distasteful food for so long our tongues were robbed of the taste buds.
After trying out various outfits Riya and Avika selected a few. 

It was 5 in the evening when we came back. Sun has yet to set. After resting for a few minutes I turned to ask Avi about hitting the gym as we had lots of desserts today and didn't go in the morning. But as I approached her she was in a deep sleep. I tucked her in the light blanket and she snuggled to it with a content smile. 

Smiling I wore my activewear and sports shoes. As Avika wasn't with me I decided to run. Attaching my earphones I began to run. Music blasted in and my mood uplifted. There were many people in the garden. Players practising their games, girls chatting around, couples sitting quietly gazing the horizon or exchanging sweet promises while the sun was going to set. I decided to sit quietly in some place after running two laps.

After 15 minutes I completed my workout and sat in a good place to admire the sunset. Looking at the serenity of the scene I thought of a few words, not that good but apt for my mood and scene.

"Everyday when a day ends
It feels so relaxing to me
Every emotion blends
Sometimes merry sometimes gloomy
Sunset is beautiful
As it marks that the day is finally ending"

I sat there thinking nothing. Just staring at the sunset and breathing deeply. Sort of meditation. Sun sat at last. Sky still contained few hues before turning all dark. Breathing for the last few times, it was the time to get up. 

"Hey, are you okay?"

I jumped in surprise with a sudden sound. I noticed it was Avika. I thought that if it would be a movie it was the perfect time when Mr.President shows up. These coincidences often happen between the lead actors. Not that I was thinking we were the main leads.

"Yeah, just enjoying my quality time. You woke up sleepy head?" I said.

She sat beside me. 
"I was looking for you and assumed you would be working out as you are not a morning person, next possible place was the library." She said.

"You know there is a thing called a mobile phone, dummy." I laughed flashing my phone towards her.

"Tch, I know that. Just my phone ran out of battery after our outing and I slept soon after I came." She said making some faces.

"Come on let's go, it's getting darker." I stood up and pulled her up with me.

Next few days flew very fast. I continued to follow my schedule dutifully. In Psychology, we were taught so many things that fascinated me. The working of our mind is truly a miracle. Today was the day we had to present our papers at the Literary Club. After lunch, Trisha and I went together. Today I reached earlier.
I had seen Mr.President from afar a few times. He was present most of the time in the library as he said earlier. Idiot Sourav didn't disturb me any further as the librarian was always there. She talked happily with me each time I issued books. I had seen him playing basketball in mornings when I get a chance to work out. 

We had settled down and Trisha told me about Korean-dramas she had watched. I used to watch Korean-dramas and Chinese dramas. Here however I don't get time at all. We talked happily until everybody came in. As we were 14 members everybody read their papers. When Mr.President started I was happy that he liked the book. Every book has got it's the charm. It ended pretty well and everybody got a glimpse of other's capabilities. 

We got to know that the drama is set on the novel Pride and Prejudice. It was a beautiful romance novel by author Jane Austen. It was one of my favourite classic books. It was the story in which Elizabeth overcomes her prejudice and Mr.Darcy does his pride and then both surrenders themselves in love. I was very excited about it. Normally I heard colleges play Romeo and Juliet as a drama but this is really great. I do want to see the casts and hopefully, their actions would be top-notch. I want to see the characters brought to life. Many of us have read the novel here and was a squeal of delight when we heard about it.

As we discussed we were told to meet the Drama Club. Trisha and I walked towards the drama club as we wanted to meet Avika and Riya. While Avika was a dancer, Riya was a singer. They both aren't going to participate in the drama but will be there during the meeting just to see the preparations. 
When we reached we started talking and joking with each other. 

"Manya?" I heard someone call. I turned and saw Mr.President calling me over while he was talking to two people there.

"See she is the one I told you about." Is he serious? No, I don't want to act at all. Maybe I would like to do some work but no acting. I admit I had done some acting in my high school days but this was too much.

"Please excuse us for a moment," I said to them and dragged him away. 

"Did I tell you to recommend to me?" I said.

"No, but on Saturday I asked, you didn't deny either." He said with an expression that seemed annoying to me.

"Please tell them I'm not going to participate in the drama." 

"Why?"

"Because it's MY decision," I growled 

"Okay, don't get mad. I didn't say anything I just told them how nicely you have written your assignment paper. I told them that you could assist me in screenwriting. If you want to act that's another story." He said, totally cool. So that's what he was talking about. Screenwriting is the thing I would enjoy but still,

"But still, you should have told me before you were planning to do so," I said

"I'm sorry," he said so sincerely that I felt guilty.

"I want to apologize too as I was too rash," I said biting my lips.

"So are we cool?" He asked softly.

"Yeah. Well, is the post of screenwriter's assistant is still open?" 

"No, someone took it." He said

"Who?" I asked

"Some girl named Manya Verma." We laughed. 

"Do you agree?" He asked.

I contemplated for a moment. Screenwriting would be good, it's my favourite novel and I don't have to do most of the work what more a lazy soul like me desires?
"Yup, I agree," I said

We walked back together and he told them about him being the screenwriter and me being the assistant.
I wanted Avika to try out the auditions but she is in dance which requires a lot of time and energy. As this fest programme's responsibility was Drama Club's they are already divided into several groups and at last very fewer people were left in performing actual drama part. 

As the fest was approaching at the end of mid- August we had time in our hands. Even though the script has to be ready early. Mr.President and I decided to work in the library the next few days as we shortened the entire drama into 30 minutes. 

Today since he called me over I hadn't gotten a chance to talk to my friends. I followed him everywhere. A few minutes later everybody started departing. I got a message from Riya saying they are returning to their practice and Trisha is accompanying them. I sighed and maybe the person beside me mistook it for boredom or tiredness because he flashed me an apologetic smile. He then quickly wrapped up the conversation and led me to the cafeteria.

He told me to order whatever I like, but this was college cafeteria and not a very good place to order 'whatever I like'. Anyway, I didn't want to eat my regular sandwich so I ordered some french fries after asking him if he would help me finish it and a cup of coffee. He too ordered a coffee.

We sat in the same place as the other day.
While sitting he said.

"Next time it wouldn't be this cafeteria." I laughed at this.

"I don't know in which year you are studying," I said thinking carefully.

"You really didn't pay attention to the first day, did you?" He asked.

I was really embarrassed.
"Yeah, I didn't. After the library incident, I felt dejected for a long time and I bear grudges so I didn't pay attention." I said truthfully.

"Bearing grudges, I'll remember that." He chuckled.

"Will you tell me or not," I asked

"Let's do this again. Our introductions." He said and then continued.
"Hello, my name is Vihaan Kashyap and I'm a third-year student here. Hobbies are playing basketball, reading books and listening to music."

"I'm Manya Verma, nice to meet you. I'm a first-year student here. Hobbies are reading, dancing, painting, listening to music and watching movies and dramas." I said mimicking him.

"You paint and dance too?" He asked surprised. This surprise didn't offend me, rather I wanted to tell him more. 

"Yeah. I love cooking. Baking at that." I said.

"You cook too? Would this lowly creature someday would have the fortune to taste your cooking?" He said

"Yes, you could as you aren't any lowly creature but my esteemed senior. But I don't know how and when." I said.

I know he is just joking but my silly heart sped when he said he would like to taste my cooking. Our order had arrived he went to the counter to bring things over.

"Have you read Pride and Prejudice?" He asked.

"Yes," I nodded enthusiastically. Now things will get interesting as I'll get to write (or help in writing, whatever) dialogues of Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy.

A girl with a past she couldn't let go. Once cheerful and chirpy, she began to question her values, intention and even existence.

"God? Have you kept me here just to feel immense guilt each moment I breathe?" She asked, voice breaking and trembling in between her sobs as she tried to compose herself.

After suffering she regained her will to live but still didn't overcome completely. Will the arrival of her soulmate relieve her or will she lose this opportunity too?

Lately, Jie Jie has been coming and going out of YNG's headquarters more frequently. After getting her pass, she could enter and leave without being held back at the gate by the guards. Some of them have even started to remember her and greeted whenever they met. 

"Auditions will start by the beginning of next week. That day you will also meet director Ye Hao and the producers." Min Lee said while they were taking a break at the coffee machine. 

Working on the script has been going smoothly. Min Lee found that collaborating with Jie Jie was an easy task. Unlike many other authors, Jie Jie was considerate and didn't have many unreasonable demands. She was also improving the script with unique ideas and gave reasonable assistance where it was necessary. He was pleasantly surprised at her working attitude as well. Although the person is quite strange sometimes, she never gave him a headache if it was work-related. 

"Do I have to be there for the auditions?" Jie Jie asked. 

Well, sometimes, though, he couldn't tell if she just doesn't care...

In moments like this, a typical author should be much more interested in the casting of the actors for their characters. But Jie Jie had no desire to attend. 

"Yes, of course! Even though you won't officially attend as the author, your opinion remains valuable. As the author, you must have an impression of your characters. It is best if we could find people who will fit the role." 

"Eh..." Jie Jie doesn't sound like she was convinced just yet. "You have all the descriptions of the characters already."

"It's not like we chose based on looks only!" Min Lee defended. This was actually the first time in his life he felt like begging an author to go to auditions. Why can't she care a little bit more? Didn't she call the book her baby or something like that? 

"You don't?" Jie Jie was not convinced. Her belief was that everything screen related was based on looks, and looks only. 

"Looks are important, but we need to find people who look natural in their roles. What's more important is the vibe they give off. That's why not necessarily all actors resemble their role descriptions. And more important is to find actors who have chemistry next to each other. Especially if it comes to notable pairings. Naturally, there will be angered fans when their favourite character looks nothing like the description, but sometimes that can't be helped."

"So, I have to come?" 

"Yes! It's not like you have something else to do, right?" If any other author had said that they couldn't make it or would leave anything to them, Min Lee would probably rejoice. But somehow he felt challenged when Jie Jie doesn't show any interest in the production. The human brain was indeed a strange pit of contradictions and inconsistencies. 

"Ugh..." Jie Jie couldn't admit that she had a side job, could she? 
"I will be there..."

People thought that writing a few lines couldn't take much time, but it does take a lot of time to write if you want to write decently. And Jie Jie would rather die than deliver crap unless she doesn't want to be an author anymore. The more the story progressed, the more she had to consider. 

Writing an online novel was different than writing a book. Since the chapters are released one after another, there's seldom a chance to go back in time. She had to connect all loose ends before publishing. 

Lately, she understood why so many other web novelists used fillers. And why their stories lose focus the more time goes by. 

Jie Jie also stumped on those matters. Regarding essential events, she lacked time to do research or made it foolproof. There were specific time frames and storylines, but during writing, some authors tend to change their mind in the face of development and fan reactions. The pressure was enormous. 

It's not like everything was always in her grip. She was powerless, even as an author. Whatever she imagined in her head, once it's written down, it doesn't make sense or was too far fetched. Sometimes she lacked the strength to improve the situation or the imagination to bend the story to her will. 

Her favourite characters were those that wrote their own stories. As an author, there is no greater joy than to have a character come to life on their own. Writing those characters were the easiest. Sometimes there are even personas that made such a strong impact that they change the whole storyline. When a figure like that came to life, the author becomes the assistant—one who just have to narrate the story. 

Work doesn't become easier, though. Sadly, it was hard to include such an overbearing character into a static story. Losing the reign over your own story, everything would become chaotic. Once an author forgets who the main character is, the whole story would be lost.

That's why some stories never come to an end. That's the worst nightmarish ending for a novel. Not only for the author, who got lost on the way but also for the readers who will never know the end of the tale. Having a bad end was still better than having no end at all. Still, Jie Jie had to discipline herself whenever she tends to stray from the main plot. And she found out that she did it so many times unknowingly, making her deleting stuff and going in circles day after day. 

To tell the truth, she underestimated web novels. As someone who wrote a bestseller, she expected that writing an online novel would be child's play. But she was wrong. 

There were not many thoughts she wasted on it when she was writing for fun. What happens happens. But now that she was commissioned, she found out that apart from a beginning and an end, she had not planned out that much beforehand. There was just a rough outline, but the details were jumbling in her head. Because she had to do daily updates, the mess in her head became bigger and bigger. It was hard not to throw the towel. Until now, she was able to fool her readers because things were still fun and giggles. But it's going nowhere. She felt the pressure accumulating. 

People thought that she only has to write a chapter a day, but the truth was, in her head, half of the book has to be written in advance. If she didn't do so, the story would become incomprehensible and would never connect well the more it advances. 

And if she didn't prepare, it would be even harder to write, because she had no lifeline to hold on. That's like swimming in the ocean and holding on to driftwood. 

"You are so strange." Min Lee said, "Normally authors died to have the right add their opinion on the matter of casting." 

"I have a say in those matters?" This was the first time she had heard of this. She had heard from so many that the author has not much say in those matters. That's why she didn't feel like her physical appearance was of any concern. 

"I thought those castings are just a matter of appearance..." Jie Jie told Min Lee her honest thoughts. 

"What? No! Why would we spend time and money on castings if we have a cast already? Does that make sense?" Min Lee was shocked to hear that Jie Jie had such a bad opinion of their circle. Where did she get those ideas? 

"I think you watch too many dramas?" Min Lee laughed. Where else could she have gotten those prejudices from? 

"We do have our eyes on some actors and actresses, of course. Having someone who is highly in demand helps with sales. But it's not like we always get the ones we want. Sometimes some new actors excel at a certain role, so we don't mind changing perception. That's what casting is for."

"So it's like that." Maybe she was biased thanks to Bai Jingyi and Luo Min Kai, two extremes who changed her outlook on the life of show biz and entertainment. 

"What are you thinking about?" Min Lee saw that Jie Jie suddenly fell into deep thoughts. 

"Min Lee, say, is the audition open to anyone?"

"Not 'anyone', of course. Our time is limited. But we like to keep our options open. Why are you asking?" Min Lee had a bad premonition. 

"Then, could I recommend someone to the audition?" 

Min Lee eyed Jie Jie for sometime before answering vaguely: "Since you're the author, we appreciate your opinion. But there is no guarantee that that person will get a role or have an advantage during the audition. On the contrary, YNG does not approve of using the back door. The person coming in through relations would go through harsher screening than all the others to make it fair. I hope you will not be disappointed if it doesn't work out." 

Usually, Min Lee would never approve of such things. 

There were a lot of authors who thought they could pick whomever they fancied. Or stockholders and investors who thought they could choose any role for their lovers to play out. YNG has never approved of such measures, even at the loss of profit. 

Of course, YNG Entertainment was biased towards their own actors, so if they do production, other actors and actresses will find it hard to set foot into the casting list. But if an individual tried to pick roles, that's a breach of the companies values. Yang Yun hated such things. Not one of his previous lovers had ever gotten a role through his connections. They did get some exposure, though, gaining some fame by standing next to him. That was the only favour he did them. But for most, it was more than enough to step onto the ladder. 

"It doesn't matter. It's a chance. And I think this person will fit the role very well..." 

Of course, Jie Jie had high expectations. She had nothing to lose, but for Jingyi, this could be a chance that won't come twice. If she could abuse her rank as the author to open a door for him, she would not hesitate. Why hadn't she thought of this before? Should she start to be more aware of opportunities from now on? Maybe there was more she could do for Jingyi, now that she was involved in the production. She doesn't approve of the abuse of power, but where there's a will, there's a way. Be willful once! 

She wasn't sure how good Jingyi's acting was, but she knew that he did take acting lessons along with singing and dancing. And if it's him, he had an advantage the others couldn't possibly have. 

Since he didn't even have the permission to do it, he shouldn't agree that easily, but he couldn't deny his personal interest in the person who changed Jie Jie's mind. It was apparent that she became much more engaged once it was fot the benefit of someone else. Who was it? A friend? A lover perhaps? Well, it doesn't matter. A bunch of people still owe Min Lee a favour. It wasn't that hard to add a name on a list. Whether or not they get the role was up to the individuals own vices. 

"What role do you have in mind for that person? I will put them on the list." 

"The role of 'Bai Ling'." Jie Jie said with determination. 

It wouldn't matter much whether or not Jingyi could act when the person he had to portray was himself, wasn't it?

The young and just approved bestseller author and journalist Shin Jie Jie is writing Boys Love stories for fun in her free time and puts them online to share with likeminded fangirls. Because it's not her bread and butter, she takes her sweet and leisure time to upload — much to the despair of her fans. 

Since the propaganda of same-sex relationships is still frowned upon and even prohibited in some areas of life in this country, few authors would dare pursue this genre if they wanted to gain fame or make money. So even if she uses an alias and thus was unknown, her superior style soon stood out and pulled over a steady stream of fans. 

One of those fans is the much-spoiled young miss of YNG Entertainment, Catherine Yang. 
As a vivid fan of Shin Jie Jie's online novel, she is waiting night and day for an update - fruitlessly. 

Flowing into a fit of rage, she attracted the attention of her brother, Michael Yang, who then proceeded to take matters into his own hands. 

If his sister wants to read, of course, the author has to write! How dare you slack off, rotten author! 

When Shin Jie Jie logged in the next day, she couldn't believe her eyes. Her novel was on the front page, number one hit! It's glory putting all the other stories miles behind. 

'Highest Supported Online Novel of all Time'!!!??? 

'Number One Sponsorship'!!!??? 

'The Emperor of Heaven has Blessed You'!!!??? 

WTH??? Who is this Emperor of Heaven? She has never heard of him before?

Shin Jie Jie was slapped left and right by all the zeroes behind that unholy sum of 'Blessing'. This so-called Emperor was just a scoundrel! 

Fans: Mighty author, we await mass releases! A rain of paid chapters! We want the whole book! A spin-off! And a sequel! +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1.....



Author Jie Jie: "Which rotten child stole their rich parent's credit card! Come out! I swear not to spank you! Come here, let me teach you the value of money!" 

Big Brother Yang: "Slaves to money should better shut up and work!" 

Little Sister Yang: "Mighty author, I am your biggest fan! Please marry my brother!" 

Little does our Main Couple know that enemies will always meet on a narrow path. 

------------------

A funny read, a slow romance, a power couple, lot's of sweet moments, pretty much a happy ending. Sprinkled with gayness on top. I wish you a happy time reading! 

For every Spirit Stone, the author will send you a silent blessing ✨

Qiao Moyu asked with uncertainty, "Sister Wu, are you sure they were asking me to audition? There's no mistake?"

"Yes, they invited you. They specifically mentioned your name." Sister Wu further explained, "The official blog for 'First Light of Dawn' has been updated. Go and check it out."

"Alright." After hanging up, she used her phone to search up the official website for the drama.

The journalist, Guan Wei wrote: "The drama 'Light Before Dawn' will be directed by Feng Xuan and will begin production by September 1. Starting next Monday, casting auditions will officially start, and will be held for the following acting positions: Female no.1, female no.2, Male no.2, and all supporting actors. The male lead's actor has already been confirmed. His name will be announced together with the actress playing Female no.1 once the auditions are completed. We welcome auditioners and ask that you follow the posted schedule."

Although the microblog has only been up for half an hour, its high traffic was already unprecedented.

Not only were the novel fans raging from excitement, there were also many actors who posted to show their support.

And the director, Feng Xuan, boasts a great reputation in the industry. He's famous for releasing a smash hit drama every year, and every one of his productions outshines the ratings of all other TV dramas that run within the same time period. As a super producer, he became sought after by actors looking to get their big break.

However, he was very demanding when selecting actors for his works. Rather than focusing on a star's fame, he checks to see if his or her skill is suitable for the role.

Sometimes, the person who passes the audition is an unknown actor, who soon jumps into the entertainment spotlight because he or she was chosen for the role.

Qiao Moyu transmigrated into this world just recently. Although she had heard of Feng Xuan's name on passing, she never thought that other stars could be so crazy about him.

As she scrolled down the rows of comments, she found that all of them were comments posted by front-line stars.

Actor Qiu Shu, who was praised by fans as the nation's son-in-law, commented, "I support Director Feng's drama series! I wonder if I can act as Male no.2? [selling Meng]" **

(T/N: Mai Meng 卖萌 Definition: v. to sell cuteness; to fully display one's cuteness in public in order to draw attention or otherwise benefit oneself)

Previous Film Empress Chen Yilan: "Sends my support to director Feng, I look forward to 'First Light of Dawn!'"

Zhang Cen-Cen, a famous young beauty known for her campus drama said: "Director Feng, can this young girl volunteer for a role?"

Underneath are comments from several netizens: "I really wanna know who's the leading male actor. Is it Zhang Ruohui? Feng Ze He? Or Film Emperor Ye?"

"Replying to the comment above, Film Emperor Ye shouldn't be able to pick up another drama series. He said the reason why he chose 'Sheng Shi' was because he and the writer were friends."

"I hope the leading actress is Xing Wanshuang. There's no better choice, her acting has been great since her debut as a child star!"

I hope Miss Ruohuan plays Female no.1. She's so pretty! I like her a lot!"

"Regardless of who gets chosen for the leading roles, I'm still going to watch this drama since director Feng is taking charge of it himself!"

"Yes, all the previous dramas that director Feng chose stayed true to its original works. Since I'm a big fan of the novel, I'm really looking forward to following this drama. I believe director Feng won't let us down!"

"I can't wait to see it!"

Qiao Moyu's heart trembled as she read the countless comments one after the other. She originally wanted to accept the drama so she could satisfy the original host's dream of becoming a Film Empress. If she could accomplish that, Qiao Moyu could return to her original world.

However, she also knew that her acting skills were still lacking, so she wanted to take advantage of these two days to study the novel for 'First Light of Dawn' so she could practice her acting skills.

At this time, at the Ye family's Mansion.

Father Ye was holding the script for 'First Light of Dawn.' He turned it over before calling for Feng Xuan.  "Director Feng, I finished reading the script."

Feng Xuan laughed and said: "Mr. Ye, how do you like it?"

Father Ye replied: "The plot is very good, but it needs a few more details added."

Feng Xuan said with curiosity: "I'd like to hear about it in detail."

Father Ye tapped his fingers on the table: "You can add more ambiguous scenes between the male and female leads. What you have right now is good, but it's still a bit lacking.
