The Rebirth of a Top Star

Jing Tanqing's possessiveness was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. Now, no matter what he was doing or doing, his eyes were glued to Du Junyi, who was right beside him.

Love in our destiny comes so suddenly.

While her boss was still grieving over the incident, Jing Tanqing had already fallen happily in love.

Shen Nanqiao is already planning to open her own studio. She currently only has one script, and after filming it, she may have some spare funds, which will give her the capital to go out and try her luck.

Everything was as wonderful as I had imagined.

The three of them finally rested late at night, and the night view outside the window was as relaxed and beautiful as Shen Nanqiao's mood.

This is what true relaxation should be.

At night, Shen Nanqiao turned on her phone and sent the last message she had prepared.

"Thank you for your help during this time, Mr. Song. After this drama ends, I hope you can give me the opportunity to terminate my contract. But before I leave, I will definitely deliver the level I promised the company. Please rest assured, Mr. Song."

Shen Nanqiao addressed Song Shiyuan as "President Song" in a very unfamiliar and even somewhat deliberate manner. Shen Nanqiao assumed that it was already late at night and Song Shiyuan was already asleep, so even if he saw it, it would be tomorrow morning.

Shen Nanqiao had already fallen asleep peacefully after sending the message, but before she could even close her eyes, her phone under her pillow buzzed loudly. Shen Nanqiao glanced at Wang Xiaotong sleeping next to her, thankfully without waking her up.

After a long day, Wang Xiaotong had just fallen asleep. Shen Nanqiao picked up her phone, completely surprised to receive a message from Song Shiyuan. The message contained a hint of vulnerability: "It was just a fleeting affair. There's no need to go to such lengths to avoid suspicion."

Shen Nanqiao was in a good mood, but Song Shiyuan's words completely dampened her spirits.

"If that's what President Song thinks, then there's nothing I can do." After saying this, Shen Nanqiao looked back at the message she had sent on impulse and wondered why it inexplicably sounded like the message of a heartless woman who didn't want to take responsibility.

After sending that message, Shen Nanqiao didn't reply to any more messages, and her phone didn't ring again either.

In a spot out of Shen Nanqiao's sight, Song Shiyuan sat in the same spot Shen Nanqiao always stayed in, silently looking at his phone without saying a word.

An invisible line clearly divides the two of them.

Song Shiyuan couldn't help but recall the time when Shen Nanqiao made a grand entrance in front of him. Although she was somewhat disheveled, she was so confident and proud at the time.

That has always been the capital and symbol that attracted Song Shiyuan.

Finally, the phone screen went out, and Song Shiyuan watched but did not make a move.

The news about Shen Nanqiao was so strong that he didn't need to ask any more questions; he knew that the other party was determined to leave.

Less than two minutes later, Song Shiyuan opened his phone and silently retracted the message he had just sent. He seemed to regret the words he had spoken impulsively.

The buzzing vibration started again, but this time Shen Nanqiao was not awakened; she had already drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Shen Nanqiao left Yungang with Wang Xiaotong.

The house I just moved into was completely empty, just bare furniture and the original fixtures.

Shen Nanqiao stayed overnight, then packed her things with Xiaoju and Wang Xiaotong and headed straight to the film set.

The director arrived the day before, and I saw the notification when I opened my eyes this morning.

Today is the opening ceremony, and everyone, regardless of their role, needs to be present to offer incense; this has always been the custom.

Shen Nanqiao didn't inform anyone. The three women who slept together the night before finished their personal matters in an hour, tidied themselves up, and left without thinking.

Shen Nanqiao had actually seen Song Shiyuan's message, but the message from the previous day was still too vivid in her mind. Looking at the excessive words she had spoken, Shen Nanqiao still clearly remembered what Song Shiyuan had said.

Therefore, Song Shiyuan's action of withdrawing the message was completely ignored.

Shen Nanqiao sat on the plane, looking out the small window at the magnificent landscape of her motherland.

In the past, the most filming location was Hengdian World Studios, and the rest were usually in Yungang or surrounding prefecture-level cities, or at the very least, in a large tent that they had built themselves.

This was the first time Shen Nanqiao had flown so far to participate in the filming of a movie.

But unexpectedly, things changed so quickly. After Shen Nanqiao arrived at the hotel arranged by the film crew, before she could even start unpacking her luggage, someone knocked on the door.

Shen Nanqiao thought it was Wang Xiaotong next door, because the two were of similar status, or perhaps the director thought that since the two had lived together before, Shen Nanqiao was still with Wang Xiaotong.

Shen Nanqiao was quite satisfied with this.

But when he opened the door, he found it wasn't the person he thought it was. In fact, the moment he opened his door, Wang Xiaotong from next door also opened his door, making him wonder if something had happened.

Shen Nanqiao looked at the director's assistant with a puzzled expression. This was the assistant who had always been by the director's side, and everyone in the crew knew him. In fact, his influence was about the same as the director's.

Shen Nanqiao looked at him: "Brother Ding, is there something you need?"

After Shen Nanqiao finished speaking, she glanced at Wang Xiaotong, who was peeking out from next door. It seemed that Brother Ding was looking for two people to go together, so he simply said it in front of them.

"The director wants to see you there because of a change in roles."

Shen Nanqiao was puzzled, so she went back inside to change her shoes before going out.

Then Wang Xiaotong came out and followed behind Shen Nanqiao. The two of them walked coolly behind Brother Ding.

After exchanging glances for a few moments, they realized that both of them were completely clueless, so they decided to just deal with whatever came their way.

After Brother Ding opened the door, Shen Nanqiao went in first. Inside was a reception room. When Shen Nanqiao looked up, she was momentarily convinced that she was hallucinating.

Shen Nanqiao looked at Yu Duoran sitting next to the old director. She was a national first-class drama actress and the most famous veteran artist of the National Drama Society. She was sitting so gracefully next to the director, watching Shen Nanqiao and Wang Xiaotong come in.

The director gestured for them to sit down, but Shen Nanqiao couldn't help glancing at Yu Duoran. The senior was so elegant. This close-up view was completely different from the Yu Duoran that Shen Nanqiao had seen from a distance or on TV before.

She was very peaceful.

Shen Nanqiao wasn't sure if this description was right or wrong, but every expression she saw made her feel like she was basking in a spring breeze.

The two, who had already exchanged greetings, sat side by side, still unsure of what the director meant by calling them over.

It certainly won't just be a simple greeting to the veteran artist.

Shen Nanqiao felt a little awkward, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.

Shen Nanqiao looked at Yu Duoran with watery eyes when suddenly the director next to Yu Duoran spoke.

“There is an emergency, but after discussing it with Teacher Yu, we have decided that Shen Nanqiao, you will be in charge.” There was a brief pause in the middle. Shen Nanqiao didn’t know what to say next. At first, she guessed that she might have to change her partner, or at worst, her role would be taken by a “more suitable” actress.

What Shen Nanqiao heard next was something she truly hadn't expected.

“I showed the script for Nan Qiao to Teacher Yu, because Duo Ran is a special consultant for our drama, so we definitely had to ask for her opinion.”

The director's silence about the outcome made Shen Nanqiao feel terrible, her heart pounding faster and faster. Finally, she heard him say, "Now, you're the one who will take the lead in the whole movie."
