Stark Contrasts (1)

Did her rebirth somehow affect Ye Mingyu's skills and abilities? Su Xiaofei wondered. Even if she didn't pursue a career in acting in this lifetime, that didn't change the fact that Ye Mingyu got her chance to sign as a Top Tier Entertainment artist. Her rebirth shouldn't have affected Ye Mingyu too much.

Was it her, or was it because Ye Mingyu became complacent and didn't hone her skills because there was no Su Xiaofei to compete with her?

Su Xiaofei considered this possibility as she continued to watch Ye Mingyu's performance in silence. It's possible, but this only made her feel disappointed in Ye Mingyu for not being able to reach her expectations as her rival.

Perhaps it had always been this way. Ye Mingyu needed her to shine brighter, to be better than her. However, now that Su Xiaofei had chosen to step out of the limelight, Ye Mingyu didn't feel like she had a reason to work harder.
