A girl with beautiful eyebrows slowly walked in with the wash basin, waiting for Su Xin to freshen up.

    “Does mother have anything for me to do?” Su Xin asked as she wiped her face.

    “Shu Quan doesn’t know, but it should be a good thing. The Procuress seemed very happy. “

    Shu Quan shook her head and answered seriously.

    “Things that make mom happy…”

    Su Xin laughed, her eyes sad.

    “Miss is so good, you’ll definitely get a good marriage.”

    Shu Quan smiled widely at Su Xin.

    “Little girl, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter.”

    Su Xin reached out and knocked Shu Quan’s forehead lightly.

    “Shu Quan is telling the truth! Miss, Shu Quan will dress you up.”

    [The host is quickly integrated, and I am very satisfied.]

    Thank you for the compliment.

    [Reward the host with a drop of “Crocodile Tears”.]

    This doesn’t sound like a fun thing.

    [It will allow the host to immediately have the ability to bring forth pear blossoms like rain, and choose various crying methods, such as howling and laughing with tears.]

    Yes, it’s very strong.

    Su Xin accepted the reward. It sounded very useful. It was easy for her to fight and kill, but it was a bit difficult for her to cry. Years of training had already made her cold-blooded.

    The name of this body is Xue Yao, which is nothing more than a fancy name, and her real name has been forgotten by the original owner.

    The original owner was abducted and sold into this brothel by traffickers when she was young. With her comely appearance, she was taken by the previous Procuress and began to be trained.

   Since she transmigrated in November, it was already snowing heavily in Yu city. When she was named, the previous old procuress looked out the window, and the snow on the branches shook off, so she was given the name Xue Yao.

    When the original owner was eleven years old, the original Old Procuress passed away, and she gave the brothel to a girl who had been in the brothel for a long time and was very stable. But the original owner’s life became difficult.

    The new Procuress Ta Yan is a very utilitarian and clever person. She feels that the original owner is a seedling that can be cultivated. After harsh training, the original owner’s life was not as smooth as before. Every day she is exhausted and tired from various exercises. In order to control her weight and maintain a good figure, the Procuress also deducts her food.

    “Miss, all good.”

    Shu Quan put a hairpin in Su Xin’s hair and stroked her black ink hair.

    “Our girl is the most beautiful, Wan Yue can’t even compare.”

    Shu Quan looked at Su Xin’s side profile with obsessiveness, and said a bit angrily.

    This face is indeed beautiful, unrefined but not vulgar, and standing there is a beautiful picture.

    But no matter how beautiful, she is a prostitute after all.

    “I always feel that Miss has changed a little.”

    Shu Quan muttered to herself, but her voice was audible.

    Shu Quan is a girl bought by the original owner. She has been with her for several years. Although the two are master and servant, they are about the same age, and they’re closer than sisters.

    “Where have I changed?”

    Su Xin faintly smiled. The person in the brass mirror looked graceful and elegant. She concealed her sharp nature, and became just like the original owner.

    “I can’t tell, maybe Shu Quan accidentally hit the back of my head when I got up this morning, and saw an illusion.”

    Shu Quan shook her head and watched Su Xin stand up.

    “Where did you hit your head?  Let me see. You are so careless.”

    Su Xin glared at Shu Quan, approached the back of her head, and looked down at her, then reached out to touch her head.

    Su Xin was half a head taller than Shu Quan, and easily trapped her. Shu Quan was silent, and Su Xin rubbed it for her.

    “It didn’t swell, but pay attention next time.”

    “I got it. Miss, go see your mother.”

    Su Xin pushed open the door and didn’t see Shu Quan kneeling on the cushion, with a flushed face, after she left.

    Fourteen saw her, but it felt that in regards to the host’s task, it was irrelevant, so it didn’t notify Su Xin.

    Su Xin kept an elegant walking posture. She walked to the door of mother Ta Yan and knocked on the door.

    Fourteen, this is the slowest I have ever walked.

    [Well, it’s okay, there will be many more times in the future.]

    Su Xin has never walked very fast in modern times. She can run fast even with high heels. She has practiced. Sometimes the task requires it. But as an ancient girl, she must maintain a ladylike and elegant pace. She is very strict with herself, but she was horrified when she learned that she would have to measure her steps. If she catches herself walking quickly, she quietly chides herself and reverts to an elegant walk. Fortunately, this body has formed muscle memory, and every step is extremely accurate.

    “Mom, Xue Yao is here.”

    “Come in, Xue Yao.”

    Su Xin pushed the door open and saw her lying on a beauty couch.

    This old Procuress used to have a natural beauty. Although she is old, thirty or forty years old, she looks much younger. She exuded a soft and coquettish feeling that seemed to be coming from her bones, which cannot be concealed. 

    “Xue Yao, you are almost an adult. You don’t need me to say too much, you know what I mean.” She went straight to the point.

    “Yes.”

    Su Xin nodded obediently.

    “I heard that you have not been in a good mood these few days. Don’t think too much about it. From the first day you entered this door, you should have been mentally prepared. You are the girl I like most, I hope you’ll live up to mine and mothers’ expectations.”

    The mother Ta Yan spoke of was the previous Old Procuress.

    Ta Yan’s brain quickly thought,  Xue Yao is a good seed, and she can fetch a good price. She was already thinking about the dowry that will later come.

    “Mom, Xue Yao has something to discuss with you.”

    Su Xin looked straight into Ta Yan’s eyes. Ta Yan raised her eyebrows, raised her hand, and motioned for her to come forward.

    “I want to participate in the banquet of the Four Kingdoms.”

    Ta Yan’s face sank, and immediately sat up on the beauty couch, looking at Su Xin with slight anger.

    “Pardon?”

    “I want to participate in the banquet of the Four Kingdoms.”

    “Hmph, if you want to avoid marriage, why use such an excuse? Banquet of the Four Kingdoms, don’t be delusional.”

    Ta Yan sneered.

    The banquet of the Four Kingdoms, the elegant meeting of the Four Kingdoms, when the emperors of the Four Kingdoms gather, all scholars, wise men and counselors will go there. The singers performing at the Four Kingdoms Banquet are the cream of the crop selected from among the countless brothels of the Four Kingdoms. 

    This is the best way for a courtesan to gain fame.

    The banquet of the Four Kingdoms is held every five years, and the courtesans in each singing and dancing performance must be different, and four people will come from each country.

    This is the covert competition amongst courtesans.

    You see, even the courtesans in our country have knowledge and strategies, they are unparalleled in beauty, and our country is also amazing.

    The courtesans who can go to the Feast of the Four Kingdoms are of course very powerful, and there is another very important point, they must be virgin.

    But how difficult is it for Su Xin to do this? Just like a lady in a nightclub in a third-tier city in modern times who is going to try out for Miss World, in other words, out of reach.

    “I can.”

    “Who gave you the confidence? You look good, but how do you compare with the people in the capital? Those who fight for this place are all cultivated with a lot of money. If you think you didn’t make money for me, I will give you a post. No? Don’t know what’s good or bad, get out.”

    Ta Yan’s eyes were gloomy and she waved Su Xin back.

    Su Xin unhappily went out, her eyes gloomy the moment she went out.

    For many years, no one dared to chase her out.

    Su Xin rolled her eyes and thought of a way for Ta Yan to agree.

Su Xin’s figure walked through the night with leisurely steps. When she reached her destination, she climbed up the wall, jumped in through the window flexibly, rolled gently on the floor, stood up, and patted her pants.

    The dazzling light shone, and Su Xin squinted her eyes.

    “Can’t you come into my house like a normal person?”

    The woman was wearing pajamas with a lollipop in her hand, and said angrily to Su Xin who was standing in the living room.

    “I already got used to it. Why are you eating sweets at night, take care of your teeth.”

“ I am hungry.” Su Xin rubbed her stomach and blinked gently at Qiu Qing Qing.

    “You are so annoying.”

    Qiu Qing Qing walked down the stairs, stuffed the lollipop she had been eating into Su Xin’s mouth, walked to the kitchen, and turned on the kitchen light.

    Su Xin crossed her legs to eat lollipops, waiting for Qiu Qing Qing to cook her a meal.

    Before long, Qiu Qing Qing brought out a plate of Yangzhou fried rice and put it on the dining table.

    “Eat.”

    Su Xin spit out the lollipop stick after eating it, threw it into the trash can, went to the kitchen to wash her hands, and sat in the living room to eat.

    “How many days can you rest this time?” Qiu Qing Qing asked in a low voice.

    “I don’t know, I just finished a small order, I’m a little tired.”

    Su Xin was eating delicious fried rice and said vaguely.

    Su Xin’s profession is quite special. Objectively speaking, she is not a good person.

‘Assassin’ is a very mysterious profession. Su Xin started doing it when she was 16 years old, and now she is 23 years old, six years, she has become tired.

    Both of her parents were assassins, and they were relatively well-known members of the organization. Her parents wanted her to lead a normal life, but when she was four years old, her parents were ambushed and suppressed by others. They did not come back alive. Under the organization’s arrangement, she inherited the profession of her parents and started an unclean life.

    For Su Xin, there are actually no big changes, hell-style training, killing without discrimination, she was already farmiliar with all this.

    At the age of 17, she was no longer pure, but a ruthless killer.

    She was not very organized at first, because she had her own principles, which seemed ridiculously persistent to the leader of the organization, not touching clean people.

    So after working for a year, she was organized as a scavenger.

    Qiu Qing Qing watched her finish eating, then took the dishes to the kitchen for cleaning.

    “Qing Qing, when will your vacation end?”

    Qiu Qing Qing is Su Xin’s only trusted companion, and her confidante.

    “Almost, you go take a bath and sleep.”

    Su Xin nodded and lay on her bed after taking a shower.

   【Ding Dong, host, received an exchange request from an ancient plane, do you accept it? 】

    System Fourteen’s voice rang in Su Xin’s mind, and Su Xin chose to accept it.

    In fact, Su Xin was already dead. In order to save a child, she was crushed to death by a large truck.

    Even though she is very powerful, it was only when compared to humans.

    But when she thought she was going to see God like this, she heard a mechanical sound.

    The mechanical voice calls itself a ‘destiny exchange system’, used to promote truth, goodness and beauty, start a philosophical transaction, bind her, and tell her the rules.

    As long as you complete a mission, you can not only survive in the mission world, but also increase your lifespan by one year in the real world. This is a good thing, and Su Xin, who doesn’t want to die, immediately agreed.

    System 14 said that it is very promising to follow it.

   Don’t know what method Fourteen used, she obviously died, but she got up from the ground again, no one noticed the strangeness, very strange.

    Fourteen did not let her do the task right away, because Fourteen said that fate exchanges also have requirements, not anyone can exchange them casually.

    Su Xin is now in the state of credit, and consumes the life of success in future tasks ahead of schedule.

    Su Xin also asked fourteen, are you not afraid that I will not be able to complete the task?

    Fourteen said that if she failed, then she would die like scum, that is, she would experience two other ways of death.

    There was no if, and Su Xin answered decisively at that time.

  【During the plane transfer, the exchanger’s identity is announced, the real world freezes successfully, and the mission begins. 】

    In front of Su Xin was a woman in ancient costume with bright eyes, but her expression was very sad.

    “Is miss the noble?”

    The woman spoke gently with excitement in her expression.

    “Well, I am, I will receive all your information later, what is your wish?”

    Su Xin wore black leather clothes and leather pants, and looked very different from that woman.

    “This servant wants to become the No. 1 Courtesan, and the most beautiful person in the four countries must recognize that this servant is the most beautiful!”

    The woman was ambitious and looked at Su Xin’s eyes as if she was looking at something precious.

    “The body will be entrusted to you noble lady, and this slave will leave first.”

    The woman in the ancient costume curled her lips and smiled then disappeared into thin air.

    Su Xin opened her eyes and saw a brass mirror in front of her, illuminating an unclear image.

 The woman in the mirror had brows like a willow but her eyes are cold and incongruous.

    System Fourteen, what did the previous owner of this body say was her wish? To be the most beautiful in the four countries?

【That’s true, Host. 】

    This kind of wish… What are your standards for choosing people?

    Su Xin originally thought it was a dangerous mission that included going undercover and seeking revenge. Anyway, for her, fighting and killing were commonplace, but a beauty pageant wasn’t exactly up her alley.

   【Host, please work hard, fourteen will always be your spiritual pillar. 】

    Who is the most beautiful person in the four nations?

    【It is… Qu Feiqing, Queen of Quliu Kingdom. 】

    What is the difference in our beauty?

   【The difference between heaven and earth. 】

   …Oh my…

    There was a knock on the door, and someone whispered at the door.

    “Miss, it’s time to freshen up. Mom is waiting for you.”

    Su Xin remembered that this body was sixteen years old, and so was of marriageable age.

  【Host, I detected that your mood swings are abnormal. 】

    I want to hit someone.

Shen Yu held the script and wanted to knock on Ye Zixuan’s door.

    Seeing Song Pianzhen on the side, he changed his mind and hurried to catch up to her.

    “Pianzhen, have you thought about it?” Shen Yu asked, without saying what it was, both of them knew it well.

    Jian Yixin gently shook his head: “I can’t do that kind of thing.”

    “What do you… take me for.”

    The original body was willing to help him because of  love, but Jian Yixin was not.

    Shen Yu paused and said softly: “Pianzhen, I also like you.”

    Jian Yixin: “???”

   A man’s mouth is the most deceitful thing.

    Shen Yu deserved to be the one destined to take Lin Qinglu down as the male lead. He didn’t even blink his eyes and said: “As long as you break the news to the media, you can have exposure.”

    “It involves…” Shen Yu said a name, and passed his eyes over to the studio, where Lin Qinglu was trying out the show with the deputy director.

    “You don’t have to worry about the heat. Everyone looks at your face, and you can immediately display an angry expression.” Shen Yu said more and more smoothly, “You have no reputation, no way out, how long will you continue to be a stand-in? Just use this to pave the way, you can debut immediately.”

    Jian Yixin: “….”

    I have to say that it is indeed a long road, after all, there have been more scandals these years.

    Shen Yu held the script and looked down at Song Pianzhen.

    Most girls had a dream of becoming a star, and they wanted to be popular when they arrived here to be dance performers.

    But the current entertainment industry had no marketing, no exposure, and she could only sit on the bench.

    Moreover, Song Pianzhen was not even a real actor, even if the heat gets hotter, it was estimated that she could only sell her face as an internet celebrity.

    Shen Yu thought that he was not her lover, but if Song Pianzhen’s performance seemed acceptable, he could help her…

    “I heard that there is a studio who wants to interview Lin Qinglu’s team. You are not on the list.”

    “Pianzhen, do you think you can refuse me now?” Shen Yu was confident and pitying her.

    Lin Qinglu was distracted.

    She was proficient in acting, but Director Zhao hadn’t noticed that she could do it.

    She had finished her scene, why were the two people over there still talking.

    Liu Lele gave her a thermos cup to soothe her throat, Lin Qinglu took it, and said casually:

    “You’re okay when you are idle. Go and notify everyone on the list to prepare to be interviewed.” She wanted to add, “Let them prepare well and not shame me.”

    “Oh oh.” Liu Lele didn’t doubt her, and he took out her cell phone to send a group message.

    Lin Qinglu lifted her chin as she moved towards the dressing room, “There is one over there, hurry up.”

    Is it neccessary for me to meet them one by one… Liu Lele thought about it, and looked up–

    Why did Song Pianzhen and Shen Yu get together again?

    How can this be done? Is she worthy of Qinglu for her to specially add her to the interview list? Is she worthy of the moment she was fascinated by beauty?

    That box of butterfly pastry… suddenly was no longer fragrant!

    Liu Lele felt that her camp had been betrayed, and, as if catching a traitor, rushed forward aggressively.

    Faced with Shen Yu, Jian Yixin decided to start doing some damage.

    Song Pianzhen looked to be extremely disappointed with Shen Yu. There was pain in her eyes. For the first time, she looked down at Shen Yu and said:

    “Shen Yu, what I like about you is that you are warm and kind. Do you still remember when you said in an interview that you hate secret tactics and frantically clinging to villains? You said this kind of person should disappear.”

    Song Pianzhen smiled sarcastically: “So you were talking about yourself in these words.”

    Shen Yu frowned: “….”

    Jian Yixin looked at him like trash.

    “You like this are worthy of my liking?”

    “Song Pianzhen, you–“

    “Just let me think that I had feelings for the wrong person for all these years.” Jian Yixin interrupted him, and after another minute, annoyed she spoke, “No, how come I was your fan?”

    “What I like is only the facade that the company established for you. You are just a villain who hides behind that facade.”

    “Don’t be ignorant! You are just a stand-in. Talking to me like this, have you thought about your future?!”

    Shen Yu liked pretending to be gentle, and couldn’t help being angry when he heard this. But because he couldn’t refute it, he was embarrassed by the harsh words.

    Jian Yixin smiled, and she thought with great interest, informing Shen Yu about her family background she could directly scare him to death.

    But to deal with Shen Yu, you don’t even need money.

    Jian Yixin said slowly: “Shen Yu, you never thought about it… When I was with you, would I secretly take a photo and record it for memory?”

    Shen Yu looked gloomy.

    Jian Yixin smiled, as soft as a gardenia covered in morning dew.

    “Pianzhen, you are here, let me tell you what you need to pay attention to during the interview.” An affectionate voice sounded, and Jian Yixin turned to look.

    Liu Lele?

    Suddenly someone appeared, and Shen Yu put on his mask, but because of the continuous stimulation, his expression was still uncontrollably ugly.

    How could Lin Qinglu’s assistant take the initiative to find Song Pianzhen? Didn’t Song Pianzhen say that she was not familiar with them?

    Still she came to her to talk about the interview–

    Isn’t Song Pianzhen missing from the interview list, why was she added?

    “Sister Qinglu also said that she wants you to behave well.”

    Shen Yu frowned, his face even more ugly.

    “Why is Mr. Shen here?” Liu Lele asked, tilting his head, his eyes circled between the two people.

    Ye Zixuan was in the dressing room.

    Shen Yu thought fast, laughed, and said naturally: “I came to meet Zi Xuan in order to read the script, and I was a little interested in dancing, so I had a few more words with Miss Song.”

    “Since you are busy, I’ll go first.” Shen Yu clenched the script tightly and hurried away.

    As he passed by, Jian Yixin caught a glimpse of his furious look on his face.

    His expression management must be offline.

    She glanced at the studio on the way.

    Jian Yixin felt that Lin Qinglu seemed to be looking here, but when she looked over, Lin Qinglu had just turned around.

    It seemed to be an illusion.

    Jian Yixin retracted her gaze, and in front of her, Liu LeLe looked at her happily, like a little goldfish.

    Jian Yixin: “??”

    She made a questioning look: “What’s the matter?”

    Liu Lele felt that she was fierce, but remembering how just now she had slapped Song Pianzhen’s face, she unconsciously softened:

    “Do you have the right to be with sister Qinglu?”

Chapter 3.1: The Movie Queen’s Little Fortune (3)

Jian Yixin took the initiative to walk over.

 “Ms. Lin.” After approaching her, Jian Yixin smiled, “I was just about to find you.”

   Her spine was straight  as she walked, highlighting her shoulders and neck lines which were especially beautiful, wrapped in a light and sweet fragrance, blowing on her face.

    With sunglasses blocking her face, Lin Qinglu’s eyes wandered wantonly, and finally fell on Jian Yixin’s face.

   “Huh?” Lin Qinglu turned cold again after calling someone over.

   She looked like a domestic cat begging for food. When the owner arrived with canned food, it walked away coquettishly, waiting for the food to be delivered to his mouth.

    Jian Yixin didn’t remember if she had ever raised a cat, but facing Lin Qinglu like this, she somehow seemed to know it naturally.

    “I bought a butterfly pastry and wanted to give it to Ms.Lin to taste.” Jian Yixin said, raising her hand, and handing the pastry box to Lin Qinglu’s assistant.

    “No thanks, I still have one in my room.” Lin Qinglu’s eyes fell on the pastry box, as she said that.

    Chin raised slightly, high and cold with a reserved tone.

   “Also?” Liu Lele carefully reminded her that there was a lot of residue in the pastry bag left in the living room, which seemed pitiful.

    Sister Qinglu is not an easy going person either. Liu Lele thought.

    Jian Yixin continued to persuade: “I almost ran into Ms.Lin that day. If you don’t accept it, I would feel sorry for it.”

    As she said, she pursed her red lips slightly, her tone lost: “This is specially prepared for you…”

    Lin Qinglu reluctantly said, “That’s it.”

    “Yeah.” Jian Yixin nodded, as if seeing the hope of success, her face lit up.

    A wave of autumn breeze brushed past, delicate and gentle.

    Lin Qinglu was shocked, but did not answer immediately.

    Jian Yixin turned towards Liu Lele and smiled softly, “Assistant Liu, can you help Ms.Lin carry it?”

    Even Lin Qinglu couldn’t resist her beauty, how could Liu Lele refuse?

    She cursed Song Pianzhen loudly in her heart. The woman was dishonest, yet she took the Butterfly Crisp in her hand obediently.

    Sister Qinglu loves to eat this pastry. Liu Lele comforted herself.

    When Lin Qinglu returned to her senses, the transaction was completed.

    Lin Qinglu was a little pleased when she inhaled the rich, pleasant, sweetness filled aroma. She looked at Jian Yixin and felt a little complicated.

    She took Liu Lele back to the hotel room. Liu Lele put down the box and was about to slip it away. Lin Qinglu squinted:

    “I didn’t put her on the interview list before. Why was she so obedient today?”

    Liu Lele’s face was bitter: “Maybe Song Pianzhen is too good-looking.”

    “She has virtue.” Lin Qinglu scolded her with a smile, and turned to watch Song Pianzhen’s “apothecary” to her. She didn’t know who she was angry with, so she didn’t release it for a long time.

    But the more she turned a blind eye, Song Pianzhen’s face worked harder to imprint into her mind, like a small butterfly alarm clock, to remind her.

    Try it soon.

    Finally, before washing, Lin Qinglu gave up resistance and stretched out her evil claws towards the pastry box.

    As soon as she touched the paper box, the mobile phone placed aside lit up, and her agent, Luo Chun had sent a WeChat message:

    “Lin Qinglu, there will be a magazine appointment next week. You can’t eat butterfly pastry again this week #smile”

    Lin Qinglu: “….”

    Anger bubbled up in her chest.

    After separating from Lin Qinglu, Jian Yixin also returned to her room.

    Jian Yixin lived in a standard room. The roommate in the same room was a girl from the makeup group, named Su Ting. She loved to laugh a lot and was not difficult to get along with.

    Although she was in the makeup group, Su Ting was only able to join the crew because of her relatives. If she was able to learn something, she would study hard and follow suit.

    The filming of Ye Zixuan’s scene was about to commence, and there were still some details to be finalized. Su Ting and Jian Yixin went to the film set in a hurry. Jian Yixin looked behind her and asked Xiao Jiu: “Does the FL know what Shen Yu asked me to do?”

    Xiao Jiu answered very skillfully: [From the description in the article, Ye Zixuan has not expressed any opinion on this matter.]

    Jian Yixin agreed: “Well, the beautiful little white flower FL, I don’t know how she should be.”

    [It sounded okay, but in just a few days the host had a sudden change, and Yazi, who was still very thoughtful, was already afraid to look down on its host.]

    Thinking about their first meeting, Xiao Jiu felt that the host was not as good as an intern. Looking at her now, Xiao Jiu felt like a target for a face slap.

    [My face hurts.]

    Jian Yixin didn’t know what the system thought, but did the task step by step.

    The heroine of the novel had appeared on the scene, and she should go see her because of emotion and reason.

….

    Early in the morning, Su Ting’s movements were a little hectic. Jian Yixin was awakened from her light sleep. She glanced at the time and said, “Isn’t it early?”

    The filming started in the morning yesterday, with Lin Qinglu’s first scene, and Su Ting went out much later.

    “Today I am in charge of Ye Zixuan. She has been acting for a long time.” Su Ting said euphemistically.

    Jian Yixin just woke up, so it took some time for her to understand that Ye Zixuan’s photogenic flaws were too many, thus she had to work slowly and carefully.

    After being woken up, Jian Yixin couldn’t sleep either, so she went to the crew with Su Ting.

    She had nothing to do as a dancer. She was willing to be with the crew, and the director asked her to stay in the crew in order to gain experience while watching the other scenes.

    Shen Yu thought she was still obsessed with him, but Jian Yixin knew that her target  now was Lin Qinglu.

    Unfortunately, there was no good time to get close to Lin Qinglu, and the crew had been peaceful for the past two days.

    The only thing she could do in the past two days was to rely on help to accumulate positive popularity.

    “Pianzhen, can you help me bring this hairpin to the dressing room? Thank you.” The props group hurriedly passed by, holding a large stack of props, and motioned with difficulty to Jian Yixin to take a brocade box.

    “You don’t need to thank me. Go ahead and work.” Jian Yixin smiled.

    Jian Yixin walked in with the brocade box, and just stood in front of the door listening to the noise inside emerging out through the door.

    “What? Do you look down on our Zi Xuan? So you did her make-up casually?” The voice was sharp and mean because it was raised too high.

    “Sister Gao, it’s okay, just change it, don’t be angry.” A soft female voice followed.

    “Hey, Zixuan, because you have a good temper, I will say a few more words. They dare bully you because I’m not in the crew.”

    Jian Yixin paused, then knocked in.

    The sound of the door opening attracted everyone’s attention, including Ye Zixuan and her angry agent Gao Min.

    Ye Zixuan was persuading her agent as the door opened, and she subconsciously looked over. A tall and beautiful woman walked in. She had a very good temperament and walked in no hurry.

    The woman walked near her, across a dressing table, reached out and put the brocade box on the table.

    Ye Zixuan only noticed her white and slender fingers resting on the dark brocade box.

    “Sent from the props group.”

    Jian Yixin said, she looked at Su Ting, and Su Ting sighed silently.

    Jian Yixin said casually: “Director Zhao just asked when he can shoot, everyone, hurry up.”

    After speaking, she nodded in greeting, turned and went out.

    The tantrum was interrupted, so it was not so bad.

    Gao Min didn’t yell again, and asked for a while: “Who was that just now? A new crew member?”

    Su Ting resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and said proudly: “It’s our group dancer.”

    The faceless stand-in, Gao Min’s face was not so ugly.

    Even if there was Lin Qinglu suppressing her own artist, if there existed another person of such level, there would be no place for Ye Zixuan to stand in the shoot.

    Gao Min remembered the sentence before taking a place of her own, anyhow she didn’t continue the topic again, and urged: “Hurry up, the director urged.”

    Su Ting walked to Ye Zixuan’s side and laid hands on the makeup.

    Inadvertently, her eyes met with Ye Zixuan’s in the mirror, and Ye Zixuan’s delicate face burst into a smile:

    “Are you and her friends?”

    “What’s her name?”

    As soon as Jian Yixin left Ye Zixuan’s dressing room, she ran into Shen Yu.

    Needless to say, the affectionate male lead must have come to find the female lead. Jian Yixin pretended not to see him, and cooperatively gave way.

    Shen Yu held a script and wanted to knock on Ye Zixuan’s door.

Jian Yixin took advantage of this time to focus on Song Pianzhen’s memories. In addition to loving Shen Yu, her idol, Song Pianzhen was gentle, beautiful, versatile, and loved by all at home. Her life was as beautiful as a fairy tale.

——Even if she suppressed Lin Qinglu for Shen Yu, no one could move her. Lin Qinglu’s fans were angry and useless, and the little princess was guarded by her family; remaining unscathed.

As Jian Yixin was thinking, her phone vibrated, and the caller ID was ‘Song Zhe’, Song Pianzhen’s brother.

She picked it up: “Hi Bro.”

“Little sis.” Song Zhe was in the office. When he heard his sister’s voice, the corners of his lips curled up. There was no trace of his usual sternness, and his voice sounded extremely gentle, “How was your day today? When will you come back?”

Jian Yixin imitated Song Pianzhen’s tone and said coquettishly: “I’ve only been out for a few days, gege(1).”

“It’s been nearly a week.” Song Zhe sighed, “You don’t let my people follow you. It’s inconvenient to be alone out there. You have to squeeze in with other people. I wanted to fund the crew but you wouldn’t let me…”

No matter how overbearing the president was, it didn’t show when he nagged his sister.

Song Zhe was much older than the original Song Pianzhen, and had always raised his younger sister as a daughter. Although Jian Yixin didn’t need this kind of care, she was patient enough to understand the concerns from her family.

“Funding the crew…” Until it came to the funding, Jian Yixin did not object to him financing her to achieve goals simply and rudely, so she thought for a moment.

Song Zhe saw the hope of  financing his sister and said, “How is it?”

“It’s not necessary. I am not part of the crew, so I will go back after dancing.” Jian Yixin thought about it.

“Well, I respect your opinion.”

Jian Yixin smiled. She liked this kind of family very much. Although they cared about each other, they also respected each other. Therefore, she sincerely said, “Thank you brother.”

His younger sister’s voice was so soft and light, that Song Zhe’s heart melted, and he couldn’t wait to shower her with all the good things in the world, but unfortunately she didn’t want anything.

Song Zhe didn’t give up and asked, “Is there really nothing I need to do for you?”

Jian Yixin smiled, she rubbed her forehead, and remembered: “Then, brother, can you help me find a pastry chef?”

Song Zhe: “Huh?”

Jian Yixin looked out the window, and across the road was a bakery. The taste was somewhat mediocre. Looking at the packaging, Lin Qinglu had bought this one.

Lin Qinglu was famous for eating butterfly cakes.

“It’s a small dessert.” Jian Yixin smiled slightly, “especially the butterfly cake, I seem to have an appetite for it recently.”

Song Zhe proved his love for his sister with efficiency. The Song family steward sent their pastry chef the next afternoon after the call.

Since people couldn’t be brought into the crew, the chef bought a shop near the film site and intensively renovated it.

This pastry chef was Chinese, and his resume was full of award winning experiences in various international food competitions. Because Song Pianzhen specifically mentioned butterfly cakes, the pastry chef also brought a copy of the finished product.

The fresh butterfly pastry was filled with sweetness, and the rich buttery smell wafting out of the cracks in the pastry box, smelled delicious.

 As for the taste, she would take it back to taste it first, and if it passed, she would use it to brush Lin Qinglu’s favor.

  Jian Yixin had a good plan; and if she didn’t run into Lin Qinglu in the reception hall of the hotel, it would’ve worked.

 Lin Qinglu and her assistant were passing by, and originally only glanced at Jian Yixin.

After two or three seconds, her nose moved slightly and her footsteps slowed down until she stopped completely, looking at the pastry box in Jian Yixin’s hand.

 Sunglasses covered most of her face, so she couldn’t observe her expression clearly. Her lips opened slightly, and in a lazy tone she voiced, “Song Pianzhen?”

 Jian Yixin: “….”

In the entertainment industry, all kinds of celebrities could be seen everywhere, and Shen Yu was walking on the road. Naturally, his fans only had eyes for him.

But she was Lin Qinglu. Behind the shop window, many people poked their heads out and observed her in secret. The breeze blew as the shop’s wind chimes jingled.

Jian Yixin took a step back and said, “You must be kidding, we are just friends.” The gap between both of them increased, and Lin Qinglu stood up straight, nodded indifferently to this standard answer, and raised her leg to leave.

Lin Qinglu’s long windbreaker was blown by the wind, gently brushing the side of Jian Yixin’s hip. The moment she passed by, Jian Yixin changed her mind.

“Actually, we used to be friends, but now I don’t want to be friends with him.” Jian Yixin tilted her head slightly, her voice was neither high nor low, but she was successful in stopping Lin Qinglu.

Gazing at the stream of lively people from the window across the shop, there was silence. Lin Qinglu turned back to look at her.

Jian Yixin was very calm.

Since Lin Qinglu had found out that Song Pianzhen and Shen Yu were in an ambiguous relationship, she stood up without breaking their eye contact. In Lin Qinglu’s heart, she had always been related to Shen Yu in an ambiguous manner.

Normal interactions were fine, but becoming close friends with Song Pianzhen would mean that this label must be torn off.

Lin Qinglu might not have a favorable impression of her, and she might have even fallen for the white lotus(1) version of her.

However, ‘simply’ was never a derogatory term. Jian Yixin avoided Lin Qinglu’s eyes and put on a proper expression speaking in a low tone:

“I used to be his fan, but after interacting with him, I found that he was different from what I thought.”

“Sure enough, there is still a need for distance between idols and their fans.”

Song Pianzhen frowned. Because she had been dancing since she was a child, she had a graceful and elegant temperament, like a flawless white swan.

Her face displayed melancholy, like a fairy lost in the middle of a misty lake, beautiful and fragile.

Lin Qinglu blanked out for a while, but quickly recovered.

Tsk, she’s breaking her white lotus character?

She said lightly: “Don’t inform me specifically.”

“As long as you do your job well, it doesn’t matter who you are friends with.”

Shen Yu was walking towards her, but Lin Qinglu was too lazy to meet him, so she left without waiting for Song Pianzhen to reply.

The sound of high heels slowly faded away.

Xiao Jiu(2) was confused again. Just now, the host did not hand in the recording, and instead admitted her identity as Shen Yu’s fan?

[Too late to ask questions.] Xiao Jiu quickly reminded: “Shen Yu is coming soon, what can you tell him?”

Jian Yixin didn’t look back at all, just picked a direction and left.

“He won’t come.”

Xiao Jiu was doubtful, but after Lin Qinglu left, Shen Yu really didn’t go after her.

Jian Yixin thought lightly: “Are you afraid of men who have to enter and exit separately for a meal?”

After both of them left, the shop staff behind the window looked back, and said in a rush:

“Lin Qinglu is so beautiful I can’t help but love her to death!”

“Who is the other young lady, a new actor?”

“Hmm, I don’t know, she’s such a bright beauty though.” The employee said, and posted the picture on Weibo:

“After seeing so many actors, I finally saw the goddess, and the young lady in the same crew with her [with photos]”

The employees put away their phones with satisfaction, but because they didn’t add content tags and the actors’ names, the photos quickly sank in the Internet ocean.

When Lin Qinglu returned with the butterfly cake, assistant Liu Lele was waiting for her in the room.

“…That’s the third bag this month.” Liu Lele looked at the butterfly cake, stretched out three fingers, and added two more after saying, “Today is the fifth time you’re eating that cake this month.”

Lin Qinglu pretended not to hear: “If there’s nothing then let’s go back to the film site.”

Liu Lele sighed and handed over the list: “The list of interviews required by V Video has been sorted out.”

V Video was a short video program. The first period was less than half an hour. The main interviewees were the behind-the-scenes team of the star and the filming crew. They talked about some interesting things about the star. This time they invited Lin Qinglu.

Lin Qinglu took it, and Liu Lele said: “V Video is very interested in your daily life, and there are two interview spots left for the stylist. On the side representing the crew, the original plan is for Song Pianzhen to dance.”

“But Song Pianzhen…” Liu Lele frowned, obviously not having a good impression of Song Pianzhen, “I changed the camera, big sis, how ‘bout you check it out first.”

Although she asked if it would work, Liu Lele knew that her artist didn’t care about it at all, and she didn’t care about it either.

“What would you do about the camera time?” Lin Qinglu scrunched up the list, lowered her head and concentrated on unwrapping the butterfly cake.

“……Huh?”

‘What does that mean?’ Liu Lele was stunned, scratching her head, “Don’t you want to shoot the video?”

“Just Song Pianzhen.” Lin Qinglu raised her eyebrows, her cold was diluted by butter, and the smell was so sweet that it melted.

Unwilling to let it go, Liu Lele tried to dissuade her, “But she and Shen Yu are so close!”

Lin Qinglu was amused by her: “What a mess.”

“Just a rookie, what does she understand?”

However, she was a bit more sensible now.

“It’s fine, just give it to her.”

Lin Qinglu didn’t say any more, and brought the butterfly pastry to her lips.

Between her upper and bottom lips, the fine crumbs stuck to her red lips, sweet and soft.

Jian Yixin found a place to have her afternoon tea, and on the way explained to Xiao Jiu the reason she did that just now.

Xiao Jiu suddenly realized something, shut down and meditated.

(1) White Lotus: This term is normally used to describe an innocent/naive girl. But if it is used sarcastically, then it means that the girl is a scheming person who is only using an innocent facade.

(2) Xiao Jiu: The system’s name is System 09. I changed it to Xiao Jiu (Little Nine) because it sounds cuter.

Shen Yu is worthy of being the second male lead, and his whole body exudes gentleness. But in all fairness, the second male lead who can compete with the male lead is not very different from the male lead, and is quite pleasing to the eye, too. When the dessert was brought, Jian Yixin finally got to the point.

“Pianzhen, you also know the crew’s situation.” Shen Yu frowned slightly. Jian Yixin cooperated: “What’s the situation?” Shen Yu sighed: “Several of us are starring, Lin Qinglu is from Lunar, and Zixuan and I are from Xing Yao. The relationship between the two companies is not good. Let’s set up a play…” Shen Yu continued to speak, but his frowned eyebrows silently complained of grievances. In Jian Yixin’s eyes, he looked like a little daughter-in-law.

Jian Yixin thought, and first tasted the Panna Cotta, which happened to be lemon flavored. So sour.

Jian Yixin put down the dessert spoon gracefully, tilted her head and said, “Are you and Ye Zixuan no better than one Lin Qinglu?”

Shen Yu: “….”

The doubts on the little beauty’s face were innocent and natural, as if she didn’t know the connotations of what she said. Shen Yu endured, and smiled bitterly: “We are often single opponents, not three on the same stage.”

Jian Yixin, dazed: “Don’t take it to heart.”

Shen Yu: ?

“You have to think like this.” Jian Yixin recalled, smiling slowly, “The year before last, you and Lin Qinglu were in a variety show. You lost so terribly that you got on the hot search.”

Shen Yu: ? ?

“Last year, you played Lin Qinglu’s second male lead role. There was a scandal. Lin Qinglu said you were not familiar with each other. You became a joke and you were on the hot search for a week.”

Shen Yu:? ? ?

Jian Yixin said with encouragement: “Look, this year you can already play the male lead for Lin Qinglu’s leading female movie. You are always improving. This is the most remarkable.” Shen Yu’s self-esteem was stabbed back and forth, and salt was rubbed on his wound, so much that he got so angry that he almost jumped up and pointed at Song Pianzhen’s nose and asked, “Are you helping me or bringing me down?”

But Jian Yixin’s expression was too real. When she said the last sentence, her eyes were like autumn water and her lips were smiling. Suddenly, Shen Yu’s temper could not come out.

Forget it, just bear it if you can’t speak, just be sensible.

Shen Yu made persistent efforts and said, “It doesn’t matter if I don’t mention these on the surface, in private, Lin Qinglu used a lot of tricks on me.” In order to prevent Song Pianzhen from asking innocently, Shen Yu didn’t give her a chance to speak at all, and then said, “Lin Qinglu is arrogant. I really can’t stand it. With her, I can’t act well.”

“Then what should I do?” Jian Yixin had enough, and cooperated slowly. Shen Yu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and said, “Are you…willing to help me?”

“In this crew, I can only trust you.” Shen Yu turned affectionate again. Jian Yixin didn’t say whether or not she agreed, but just moved forward, looking shy. Seeing her like this, Shen Yu’s self-esteem replied, “I just want to breathe out, make her a little more trouble, and understand that I am not easy to bully.”

“What can I do for you?”

“You are Lin Qinglu’s dancer, and you look so beautiful.” Shen Yu lowered his voice, “Just cooperate with me and frame Lin Qinglu…” Jian Yixin, who didn’t get the detailed plot, listened very much. “Framing Lin Qinglu will rule you out.”

Jian Yixin: ?

“No one will believe it.” Jian Yixin suspected that the second male lead had become confused, so she tried to clear it up.

Shen Yu was very firm this time: “Why not?” “She is gay.”

When Jian Yixin left the western restaurant alone, he still couldn’t react. “Lin Qinglu is gay?”

System was also dumbfounded, it said with self-blame: “The sexual orientation part is because Lin Qinglu has no dating records and no information is included.”

“However, the information was verified to be correct when the life of Lin Qinglu was retrieved.”

In other words, Lin Qinglu is really gay.

“It doesn’t matter.” Jian Yixin breathed a sigh of relief, but comforted the system, “Now you can update the information.”

System replied dumbly, and remembered: “The recording is finished, we can hand it over to Lin Qinglu.” Before entering the room, Jian Yixin instructed the system to turn on the recording function, and Shen Yu’s plan had been recorded.

Jian Yixin did not agree to Shen Yu’s request. Shen Yu was very understanding, and let her consider it for two more days. But he thought that Jian Yixin’s objective was just to avoid breaking up, and to surrender to Lin Qinglu through the recording. But now…

Jian Yixin thought as she walked. She was convinced that she had never heard the rumors about “Lin Ying Empress is Ji Zai”. She took the privacy-breaking recording and went to Lin Qinglu. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Lin Qinglu was 80%. Be vigilant towards yourself. Jian Yixin thought about the matter and walked around the corner of the street. There was a shadow in front of her. It was too late for her to return to her senses. She was about to hit someone else when she saw it, and subconsciously twisted her waist to the side. It may be that she moved too much and she looked like she was about to fall, and the person reached out to catch her— hooked her hand on Jian Yixin’s windbreaker belt, and when Jian Yixin stood firm, she immediately withdrew her hand. Not only did she have no sympathy, but because she closed her hand too quickly, she even disliked this dumb person.

Jian Yixin: “…thank you.” With that, she stood firm and they looked at each other. “Lin Qinglu appeared.” At the end of System’s words, Jian Yixin’s sight just fell on that person’s face. Jian Yixin knew what Lin Qinglu looked like, but only when she saw it with her own eyes, she was lazy on her brow bones, and her lips were frantic. Unlike Internet celebrities or ordinary actresses, she has a more relaxed face and a feminine appearance. She raises her hand and her eyebrows, and she is all charming.

With such a face, it is almost impossible to look away. Jian Yixin couldn’t help but admire her when she saw her. Sure enough, it was SSS level. Lin Qinglu frowned and looked at the pastry bag in her hand. In the transparent bag, the freshly baked butterfly cake is most crispy, and a lot of crumbs are dropped with only a single move. It wasn’t until Jian Yixin noticed the butterfly cake that Lin Qinglu said casually, “No thanks.”

Suddenly, Shen Yu came out of the western restaurant over there. She looked over Jian Yixin’s shoulders, looked at him for two seconds, and then looked at her dancer with interest: “I heard that you and Shen Yu are very close?”

Jian Yixin choked.

The sand sculpture Shen Yu, still thinking of framing Lin Qinglu, people can see clearly. Lin Qinglu glanced over at Shen Yu.

She lowered her head slightly, leaning close to Jian Yixin’s ear, a certain distance away: “Looks can be deceiving.” The voice was low, and slightly hoarse.

“Pianzhen.” The man in front of her smiled softly and, his voice low, asked, “Do you have time at noon?” A casual invitation, even if it is heard by others, can be turned away for official business. Jian Yixin thought playfully, her cheeks stained pink, she glanced at Shen Yu, then lowered her head, and whispered: “Yes.” Shen Yu nodded, just about to say something, the deputy director called him over, Shen Yu Quickly said “See you at the old place”, turned and left.

System 09’s clear voice sounded: “Transmigration complete, host, please prepare to receive plot transmission.” Jian Yixin sipped warm water to relieve the discomfort of transmigrating. Once she felt better, Jian Yixin stood up and found a free dressing room to receive the plot transmission in accordance with the system’s requirements.

The male lead of this world is the President of Xing Yao, an entertainment company, and the female lead is actress Ye Zixuan of Xing Yao. Ye Zixuan captivated the President, and after some lingering enthusiasm, the two of them got together. Everything seemed fine, but since the Bureau sent Jian Yixin here, there must be an unusual existence in this world. 

The unusual existence is Lin Qinglu. Lin Qinglu debuted at a young age and won the highest honor in the film industry when she acted in her first film. She also won the domestic best newcomer award and the international best actress award. After she debuted for two years and became a movie queen, she garnered a huge fanbase. What’s more astonishing is that this glory and brilliance weren’t short-lived. Relying on her successive excellent works, Lin Qinglu seems to stand at the top of the entertainment industry and became a legend in the entertainment industry. Lin Qinglu stood so high, people could only feel jealous and look up. Her overall quality was assessed as SSS grade by the Quick Transmigration Bureau, but she was just cannon fodder in this world. Therefore, it is Jian Yixin’s task for Lin Qinglu to receive treatment that matches her overall quality. Jian Yixin began to look at her identification information.

According to the system, she is a stand-in and can only be the stand-in. This time she had transmigrated into Song Pianzhen’s body, who was Lin Qinglu’s dancer. She was performing a solo dance for Lin Qinglu in “Zhao Niang”.

The crew only knew that Song Pianzhen was an excellent dancer, but they didn’t know that she was born in a wealthy family, had always been low-key, and came to the crew as a dancer in order to chase stars.

And her idol is Shen Yu, who plays the hero of the movie, and at the same time, he is also the second male lead who admires Ye Zixuan in the novel world. In the plot, Song Pianzhen is very attentive to Shen Yu, but Shen Yu uses Song Pianzhen to give Lin Qinglu a heavy blow and show his favor to Ye Zixuan. But the heavy blow wasn’t elaborated on.

Jian Yixin was clear, and looked at herself in the mirror. Song Pianzhen was born in a top wealthy family. Needless to say, her elegant appearance, and noble temperament were quite rare. Because of receiving too much information in a short time, Jian Yixin’s soul was pressed and her face was pale, which made her beautiful face look even more pitiful. She was used to maintaining a perfect state at all times.

After receiving the original host’s memories, she proficiently took out cosmetics to touch up her makeup. The technique was so delicate that she stunned the system. System couldn’t help asking: “…Host, were you a beauty blogger before?” Jian Yixin put away her lip gloss, pulled her hair behind her ears, and smiled, “I don’t remember.”

Yes, her new host had lost her memory due to a failed mission, which is equivalent to losing all her experience, and is worse than an intern. It is conceivable that it might be tricky to start the task, and maybe she will fail again. The host looks gentle, very easy to bully, and not too smart, a dumb person… System suddenly decided to make it her mission to toughen up her host.

Although she had forgotten everything, as an employee of the Transmigration Bureau, Jian Yixin knew instinctively that it was her job to complete the task perfectly. The outside shooting is over. Only the crew eats while watching over the shooting props.

When Jian Yixin passed by, their voices were a little lower. After Jian Yixin noticed it, she smiled and nodded in greeting: “It’s hard on you.”

Stunned, someone replied, “No, it’s not hard.” Jian Yixin walked out a few meters without averting her eyes, and the stunned person was jerked back to the present by one of his buddies: “You look silly, come back to your senses!”

“Song Pianzhen is so beautiful.” The man sighed, “She looks even better than Ye Zixuan.” “Careful! It’s not good for you to be heard by Ye Zixuan.”

Jian Yixin found a western restaurant according to the “old place” in her memory. As soon as she entered, a waiter took her to the box on the second floor. Shen Yu was looking at his phone and switched it off when he saw her come in. When meeting Shen Yu, the emotional assistance produced by Quick Transmigration Bureau will automatically turn on, allowing employees with no acting skills to perform post-level acting skills.

“Pianzhen,” Shen Yu warmly called. When Song Pianzhen saw her idol, her eyes were bright, and she smiled: “I’m late, let you wait a long time.” “It doesn’t matter how long I wait to meet you.” Song Pianzhen’s face blushed again, and Shen Yu was satisfied, and was assured that his plan would work.
