Chapter 1 part 1

The annual Starlight Awards are a day of celebration for fans and numerous online gossipers.

Especially this year, as soon as the live broadcast started, it suddenly exploded online that the top-tier actress Shen Qiaoyu had intervened in the family of a well-known male star, causing quite a stir.

The paparazzi who leaked the information released two solid evidence videos. In the first video, Shen Qiaoyu and the male star entered a high-end apartment one after the other, and several hours later, they emerged in the same manner.

The second video took place in an elevator, where the male star approached Shen Qiaoyu slowly while wearing a cap, and then shamelessly embraced her.

This news caused a huge sensation throughout the internet, especially on New Year’s Eve when netizens who weren’t fond of watching the Spring Festival Gala eagerly shifted their attention to social media platforms to indulge in the excitement.

[Is being a female celebrity equivalent to being at the top nowadays? Does she have any notable works? Her acting skills are cringe-worthy and just scraping the ground. She’s nothing more than a pretty face and yet she even knows how to play people. Ugh.]

[I knew this day would come when she and Xu Bing were promoting their new drama as a couple. Xu Bing is also a scumbag, engaging in such behavior even though he has a wife. It seems that scumbags and shameless women are naturally a perfect match.]

[Still pretending to be a pure and innocent girl, I can’t help but laugh. Do they think looking a little aloof makes them a virtuous woman? Well, now things have backfired, and Shen Qiaoyu is getting kicked out of the entertainment industry!]

Village-level Sweet Treats: I didn’t originally plan to share this, but she has truly gone too far. Upon playing the audio, they hear the trembling voice of a woman pleading, “Please, I beg you, return him to me. Our child is only one year old, I don’t want our child to grow up without a father. I can give you money, how much do you want, I will give you…”

However, before she could finish speaking, a hoarse and impatient voice came from the other end, saying, “Get lost.”

This single word was like a stone causing ripples, instantly making netizens enraged, to the extent that many fans even unfollowed her.

[Oh my god, who does she think she is? The mistress telling the legal wife to get lost?!]

[I really didn’t expect this. Besides her mediocre acting skills, she didn’t have any scandals. Why would she act like this?]

[After serving for three years in the military, is this the quality we end up with?]

[She joined the military in her first year of college and should have had a promising career. Can you guess why she decided to leave the military and pursue a career in the entertainment industry? It’s likely because she made some mistakes and got discharged!]

…

Shen Qiaoyu sat in the executive car, reading these comments, the corners of her lips marked by a bitter smirk.

Indeed, once a person is tainted with even the slightest blemish, people will speculate about that person with utmost malice.

The assistant hurriedly approached and tapped the car window, asking anxiously, “What should we do? Qiaoyu, it’s time for you to walk the red carpet. Shall we go?”

“What are you going for?!” Shen Qiaoyu’s next to them hung up the phone and then said, “The company said that all schedules for this period are canceled. Stay at home and take good care of yourself. Don’t go out. I will help you send a lawyer’s letter. We can discuss further once the dust settles.”

However, Shen Qiaoyu seemed like she hadn’t heard his words at all. She stood up and prepared to get out of the car.

He reached out to grab her arm, but she evaded him. There was already a concealed anger in her words: “Do you know why the Starlight Ceremony is held every New Year’s Eve? It’s because this is the easiest time to grab everyone’s attention. They will go to great lengths to create topics. If you attend now, aren’t you intentionally pushing things in a more serious direction?!”

“Ha.”

Shen Qiaoyu’s cold laughter left the agent stunned, and then he saw her open the car door and get out.

Dressed in a black gown, her long hair elegantly tied up, those icy phoenix eyes seemed to penetrate into people’s hearts like a black swan standing tall with its head held high even in the muddy marsh.

She said lightly, “Brother Qi, be honest with yourself, isn’t the company trying to sideline me?”

“It’s amazing how cunning they are. I wondered why I had to sign the contract at the apartment. That Xu Bing even got drunk and pounced on me in the elevator. Then, in the middle of the night, they called and harassed me just to provoke me into saying that word, ‘get lost’?”

“They pushed both Xu Bing and me onto the cutting edge. When something like this happens, male celebrities can still remain active on the big screen even after the storm has passed. That’s called a prodigal son returning. But female celebrities can only accept their misfortune and be shelved, or fulfill your wish and find a wealthy patron to continue dedicating themselves to the company. They can’t escape the label of being a secondary option for a lifetime, can they?”

“On the other hand, they forced me into engaging in such activities, they promoted male celebrities to boost their popularity and then later whitewashed their image…”

Shen Qiaoyu’s gaze became increasingly sharp, filled with mockery, as they continued, “You’re certainly skilled in using this tactic, but unfortunately, you misjudged the wrong person.”

“From now on, don’t call me anymore, I have fired you!”

Everyone could support me in Kofi, for every donation there would be an extra chapter that would be released. Please don’t forget to mention the name of the novel you want to support so that I won’t confuse it with the other novel I’m currently translating.
