Chapter 1Reborn

"In the eastern region of the Pyrenees mountain range in southwestern Europe, a fleet of sports cars were speeding along The Garrone, spurring the French police into action…" the sweet voice of the female newscaster narrated. The headlines of the day were displayed on the screen behind her.

The sports cars tore along the road under the night sky. Helicopters were following them while police cars could be seen giving chase. "The police suspect that the street racers are citizens of the eastern country, but the identities of the drivers are yet to be determined…"

The moment the female newscaster finished, the screen behind her was enlarged. The honks and the roar of the helicopters' rotors that were initially muffled could now be heard clearly. Coupled with the rumble of the speeding sports cars, the noise level in the room instantly rocketed.

The thin walls could not mute the sounds of the television outside, so Jiang Se got up and found his way to the narrow living room. Du You, who had switched the television on in the first place, was nowhere to be seen. The fleet of sports cars was speeding past the screen of the television.

Then, the scene changed. When she saw the leading white sports car, she paused mid-action and was about to switch the television off. The door of the room to her left was flung open with a loud bang and Du Honghong's furious voice filled the room, "Why are you making so much noise in the middle of the night?! Don't you know that I'm about to sit for the Senior High School Entrance Examination soon?"

Jiang Se turned to look at her, but the teenage girl dressed in her red nightgown had already slammed the door shut impatiently. Even the slightly mottled windows of the living room shook from the impact.

She switched the television off and returned to her room. It was nearing the end of May, and the weather was getting warmer. Facing her single bed, a fan was spinning slowly, blowing a cooling breeze.

She climbed into bed and stared at the dim yellow light bulb above her. She recognized the white sports car with a superior design. It belonged to Pei Yi.

"Sese."

Mother Jiang's call interrupted her thoughts. When the door opened, Mother Jiang, Zhou Hui, leaned into the room and pointed at the light bulb above her to remind, "It's past nine."

With a nod, she propped her body up and tugged the cord beside her bed. Instantly, darkness engulfed the room.

The faint lighting from outside somewhat illuminated Zhou Hui's face in the night and she appeared to be cowering.

"Honghong is about to sit for her exams. The electricity tariff has been raised recently and your Uncle Du's factory hasn't been doing very well this month. You can use the fan for a while, but remember to switch it off once you've cooled down…"

Jiang Se cut her short by replying, "I know."

Zhou Hui said no more and closed the door behind her.

The room was pitch black as there were no windows. Jiang Se could not help but toss and turn in her bed.

It had been a long time since she reminisced about the past, but the headlines that night made her feel glum.

A fortnight ago, she was still the lady of the Feng family, Feng Nan. When she woke up, she found herself in Jiang Se's body.

Her grandfather, Feng Zhongliang, had served in the military before. When Huaxia was in turmoil, he brought his family into Hong Kong, bought a hotel, and had been operating it ever since. Today, the Feng family was a prestigious name.

In his golden years, Feng Zhongliang could not bear to be away from his homeland. With the help of his old friends, he brought Feng Nan back to Huaxia and settled down.

Feng Nan and Jiang Se were as different as heaven and earth.

Mother Jiang, Zhou Hui, had married an unfilial husband. When they got divorced, she brought her daughter Jiang Se with her, married Du Changqun, and gave birth to two children.

Her stepfather, Du Changqun, worked in a factory. Even after two decades, he was still a rank and file salesperson who had to provide for his family with his meager paycheck.

Since her surname was not Du, Jiang Se held an awkward position in the family. Apart from the fact that Du Changqun did not like her, her younger half-siblings also regarded her with scorn.

Jiang Se was 17 this year and was in her final semester of the 12th grade. However, she did not like studying. All she wanted was to enter the entertainment industry with her beauty and make a name for herself.

She figured this out by herself throughout these two weeks.

She did not know who Feng Nan currently was since she had become Jiang Se. She wracked her brains, but still, she could not come to a conclusion. She sighed and flipped over again, making the steel bed frame creak.

From the next room, Du Honghong pounded on the wall. "Can you keep it down?"

The Du residence was built in Huaxia's imperial capital where land was extremely expensive. There were six of them in the family, including Du Changqun's widowed mother. They were cramped in an old unit that was less than 15 square meters wide. Du Changqun had compartmented the rooms with planks. Jiang Se's room was in the far corner and there was only enough space for a single steel-framed bed and a chair. There were no windows, so when the doors were closed, it was always pitch black, even during the day.

Above her was the sleeping quarters of Du Changqun and his wife, hence the ceiling was very low.

Jiang Se closed her eyes when she heard Du Honghong still swearing. She was immensely beautiful. Her loveliness seemed to be a gift from the Creator. This was also why the original Jiang Se longed to enter the entertainment industry. Her cramped room was full of posters of various celebrities, and the notebook under her pillow were scrawled with the young girl's wishes of making it big.

Jiang Se was awoken by the sounds of someone coughing.

Above her, Du Changqun was having a coughing fit. He had been down with the flu for several days now. Zhou Hui had meekly persuaded him to take a day off and visit the community clinic next door. However, he told her off, "What about the money? Do you know how much will be taken out of my paycheck if I take a day off? The entire family depends on my income for food. How can I take a day off just because I want to?

Jiang Se blinked her eyes and gradually sobered up.

Du Changqun was still swearing and voicing out his dislike for the daughter Zhou Hui brought with her into the marriage. "She's 17, yet she isn't capable of doing anything. All she knows is to spend my money! When I was 17, I was already working in the factory unlike her."

Zhou Hui kept quiet, but Jiang Se was awake now. When Du Changqun climbed down the stairs and saw Jiang Se, he showed no signs of acknowledgment although his expression was sour. He freshened up and went out.

"Your Uncle Du has been under huge stress lately."

The edge of Zhou Hui's lips lifted as she glanced at her daughter. Under the glow of the light, she could see her 17-year-old daughter who was already looking like a fine young lady. She moistened a towel with the water Du Changqun used to wash his face and wiped her face with it. before walking to the kitchen.

"I can see that you aren't interested in your studies. Your siblings are still young…"

Jiang Se understood what she meant. Throughout her English lesson, she had absent-mindedly doodled in her notebook whilst her mind was elsewhere.

During their talk that morning, Zhou Hui had implied that she should stop studying after the 12th grade and make a living on her own.

When she had been Feng Nan, she had never worried about money.

She was deep in thought, but her sharp senses told her that something was off. She turned and saw her neighbor, Lu Baobao, was about to poke her arm with a raised fountain pen.

Lu Baobao was a year older than Jiang Se. She and the original Jiang Se were like birds of a feather. She had a rounder face and seemed cute. She was interested in any sort of gossip, especially about celebrities in show business which she was highly familiar with.

The original Jiang Se was set on joining the entertainment industry and becoming a star, so she naturally shared a common topic of conversation with Lu Baobao.

Lu Baobao removed the pen cap. She lowered her head and quickly scribbled a line in her workbook. "What're you thinking about? You seem out of it today."

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away.

If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

⚠️Spoiler Alert⚠️ Good story!! I already finished reading this novel using google translate 😭😅🤣 Another FL that become an actress. That might sound boring but it wasn't. Another thing is that bizzare reborn but in another body and the original body had been occupied with another soul! The story mostly focus on FL journey from someone who had nothing but pretty face to an entertainment queen and become the winner of life. FL: Jiang Se (a.k.a. real Feng Nan) ML: Pei Yi FL is very intellegent (high IQ and EQ) and describe as one of a kind beauty. Because of her previous identity, daughter from high class family that wouldn't lack anything, her demeanor truly engaved in her soul and also something that differentiate her from other actress. She adapts very well to her situation, doesn't complain that much, work hard to achieve something that she wants and cerish her life at the present. She enters the film industry because the lack of money to finish college (at the beginning only, later her motivation change). I could see the character development of FL especially when it comes to ML. ML also not the usual cold sculpter, yes he's cold to others, but he isn't that perfect in a sense because he still has some rebellious phase like every teenager had. ML come from a very respectful family ans 5years younger than real Feng Nan but 1 years younger to Jiang Se. What admireable about him are he only like also fall in love with FL regardless of her current identity. He realizes his shortcoming especially in his behaviour and willing to changes just to give FL a more stable and better future. I could totally see his transformation from being a immature young man to a man that carry his responsibility and protect his loved one. He's also the first person that recognize FL in her current identity. He really plays a big part on FL character development. The story won't be that heavy with lots of family and villains drama but sometimes I still cried because of what FL said and did (I can relate to her) also because of the film plot that FL played. FL family??? Depend on which family or relative we are referring to 😉 Whose soul that occupies FL real body? Hehe... Let's keep it a secret for now 😁 ✔No mayor misuderstanding ✔Capable MC ✔No white lotus ✔MC doesn't smoke Surprisingly I could still pick some lesson from the story: how to cherish a life, cherish your own life, live the present, try to overcome your fear, and be a responsible person... Happy reading!! [img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=update]

MILD SPOILERS So another novel dealing with actors/actresses in China's entertainment industry. LOL. I read the first 60 translated chapters available and had to read the rest through MTL (it was fairly understandable) because that's how much the story caught my attention. Also, for a webnovel this one isn't actually that long ending at 680 chapters. The FL this time is a well educated, rich lady named Feng Nan who wakes up in the body of another girl (Jiang Se). She gets into acting to earn money because of her less than ideal family life and it was also the OG!JS's dream to enter the entertainment industry. There's also someone else residing in her body but as to whether that is the OG!JS you'll have to read the story to find out! One of the highlights for me is the way the author describes the plot of the movies that she films when the film critics watch her movie. I feel like I ended up watching the films myself as I read through the author's descriptions because I could really imagine them. There's an ML who is not a dick but is actually sweet and respectful (the bar is so low!). Their romance is pretty understated as the novel mainly focuses on JS's journey from being a mere extra to being a box office queen. There's also rivalry between actresses, but I like how there was no use of drugs or getting someone else raped to reach their goals. There's some scheming going on but it's all aboveboard and is what truly happens in this industry, which is so refreshing to read. I'm so tired of reading other novels where a rival digs up a trap for the FL that involves drugs/rape like that's disturbing. The OG!FN in JS's body is the embodiment of class and she's intelligent, witty, has high EQ, ambitious in a good way, and you'll end up really liking her. She doesn't even rely that much on the ML too and they're often separated than together because they're both busy with their respective careers. I wish this novel can be chosen soon and more translated chapters will be released so more people can read this gem of a story!

It was rather eventful but anticlimactic so far. Being in a scenario where her soul was swap, she's smart to adapt to her situation but to my chagrin she was too calm about it. Very calm, knowing that somebody was occupying her body I would rather her contact her family, friends or anyone she can trust. Or just send an anonymous message stating that the 'FENG NAN' now was soul swap. Even if they don't believe it subtle changes will make them doubt. At least with that, the one using MC's original body cannot do as she please blemishing the MC's reputation. And if they went to the point that they believe it they will track the sender which will end up finding the MC in Jiang Se's body. With that 'FENG NAN' and 'JIANG SE' will have a face off and the MC's family will certainly find a solution. It was better this way than seeing the MC struggling in the entertainment industry working her way up from being an extra while having 'FENG NAN' doing as she please with right money and influence. Or maybe this is happening because the author has something to offer. I don't know and that's what I need to find out. Writing wise, it's okay for me, just the issue above mentioned. I think this has a lot to offer since it has an interesting plot which needs to be anticipated. There's also a lot of loose ends as well that if wisely used can be pretty interesting. However if the author keeps on dragging it I'll eventually lose interest in it. I've have read the first 60 chapters, yes its development was good but the problem itself was not address aside from having the MC suspicious. If you are asking who's the ML it's PEI YI (I think) so it's childhood sweetheart romance.
