The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

Director Yu, wearing sunglasses, propped one foot on the windowsill. In his nearly twenty years in the industry, this was the first time he had encountered someone so annoying.

He finally understood how his nephew felt.

No wonder Yu Lian complained that talking to the ghost voice would shorten his lifespan by ten years.

"Do you think you can just come and go as you please in a competition?"

“That’s exactly what I think,” she said honestly.

Director Yu felt a tightness in his chest, and his vision inexplicably went black.

"If you can't think about yourself, can't you at least think about your fans? They're so looking forward to seeing you. Are you going to break your promise to them?"

This statement made Su Ran think deeply.

When she arrived, she thought she would gain a lot of followers, but she never expected to gain tens of millions.

She's gained over 60 million followers on Douyin, and her private messages keep surging every day. When I open them, they're all filled with slurping and groans. Ninety percent of them are female fans who are always lusting after her.

Because she was tagged by fans every day, she stayed up all night to watch the edited video featuring herself and her fans.

One moment it's a wandering adventure filled with heart-wrenching romance, the next it's a domineering singing god forcing himself on a little fan... It has everything from tragic endings to happy endings, with the most explicit content and the most exaggerated plots.

It's terrifying!

But I have to say she's pretty good at cutting.

Pretty good looking.

It wasn't a waste of time to stay up all night.

It's just too short.

The series I was watching last night hasn't finished yet.

Should we share some content with our fans?

But school starts soon! Ugh!

Left with no other choice, Su Ran had to tell Director Yu the truth.

"I have to go to school; I am still a young flower bud of the motherland."

Director Yu: "..."

This is like when an artist breaks their contract and is about to be asked to pay a huge penalty, she suddenly announces that she has passed the civil service exam.

Director Yu calmly moved his foot away from the windowsill.

"It's not impossible for you to withdraw from the competition without paying the penalty for breach of contract."

"How so?" Su Ran perked up.

"Ahem, I have a script here."

Director Yu took out the script he had painstakingly adapted over three long nights from his bag.

Su Ran took the script with a puzzled look. Why was she being given the script?

"There's a masked swordsman inside, just right for you." That was a custom-made piece he created after watching countless clips of ghostly sounds!

He didn't have Su Ran's rejuvenation technique; behind his sunglasses were a pair of panda eyes.

Su Ran pointed at herself in surprise.

"Me? Not showing my face? Going to act?" That's a bit of a stretch.

"Yes, that's right, it's a man."

"A man?!" Su Ran jumped up from her chair.

"What's wrong? Teacher Li has even played a young scholar before, and Teacher Ye played Xu Xian."

"I won't do it."

"If you don't do it, I'll post on Weibo today saying you disrespect the stage and abandon the audience. Even if it's because of school, you'll still be labeled as irresponsible! Your fans will be heartbroken." Finally, she regained some ground.

"you……"

"What's wrong with me?" Director Yu said confidently, head held high. "You really are going to force your way out of the competition, did I say anything wrong?"

Su Ran: "..." He's right.

"Besides acting, you have to be a guest at every competition." Director Yu pushed his luck.

"no!"

"Why not? It's all because of you that we're one less judge. We haven't been able to find someone to fill the vacancy yet. We're afraid that if we face you, your hacker will dig up some secrets and ask you to be a guest judge in your spare time. You don't have to compete, you don't have to train, and you don't have to give comments. Isn't that great?"

Ghostly voice is one of the essential conditions for the show to maintain its ratings. He relies entirely on her to raise funds for filming, so how could he possibly let her go?

As for the empty judges' seats, he didn't actually invite any of them. He rejected all those who volunteered. Ever since watching the sword dance, he had been planning to dig this pit for Guiyin and wait for her to jump in.

I just didn't expect her to withdraw from the competition!

After listening to Director Yu's eloquent arguments, Su Ran was speechless and even felt that what he said made sense.

"It's not that it's impossible, but..."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Director Yu's eyes lit up with an astonishing light.

"Tell me your needs!"

"From now on, the ten TV dramas or variety shows you direct will all have to provide free advertising for SR Company's products." She wasn't so easily fooled.

"can!"

The two people, who had stayed up for three consecutive nights, hit it off immediately.

***

In early September, as summer drew to a close, the lingering heat of late summer swept through the entire city of Kyoto, leaving every student who had just entered the school year drenched in sweat, yet also brimming with youthful vigor.

The spacious road of Qingcheng College was already crowded with long queues. The young men and women had a unique radiance that belonged to eighteen years old, which made passers-by stop and admire them.

A conspicuous taxi appeared in front of the school gate.

It stands out because its bright green color and LED roof sign make it unique among luxury cars.

The car door opened, and a pair of long legs wearing white chunky sneakers and loose dark green cargo pants emerged, followed by a face so beautiful it was hard to tell if it was male or female.

However, the loose white T-shirt couldn't hide her excellent curves, inadvertently revealing her gender.

Even so, her mere glance caused countless young girls to blush.

"Junior! Which department are you in? I'll take you there."

"Ignore him, he's not from our school at all. Junior, I'll take you there."

"Junior, come this way! They're in danger!" A senior student broke through the encirclement.
