Transmigrating into a novel as a supporting female character: all for the sake of seducing the secon

Ning Yi and Ji Yan went into a boutique together.

"Hello, can I get my ears pierced here?" Ning Yi asked.

The shop assistant approached with a smile: "Of course, ma'am, this way please."

Ning Yi then walked to the spot indicated by the shop assistant, sat down, and waited for the shop assistant to prepare the tools. Her hair was then tucked to the side.

A tingling sensation came over me, and the ear piercing was finished in just two minutes.

"Miss, it's best not to wash your hair for the next couple of days after getting your ears pierced. You can disinfect it with alcohol periodically."

"You can come over here and pick out a few earrings you like to take home as replacements," the shop assistant kindly said.

Ji Yan, who was standing to the side, witnessed the entire ear-piercing process: "Is it done already?"

Ning Yi touched her slightly reddened ears and nodded: "Of course, getting your ears pierced is just piercing a hole."

Ji Yan walked to the earring display case and carefully helped Ning Yi choose some earrings.

He pointed to two pairs of earrings in the display case and said to Ning Yi, "These two pairs are quite nice. Take another look, and I'll take you to buy more when we get home."

After Ning Yi picked out two more pairs of earrings, Ji Yan paid the bill together.

Back at their lodgings, the two were taking out the newly bought fruit and some food when Ji Yan's phone rang.

"Sister Xue, is there anything I can help you with?" Ji Yan asked, holding his phone.

Ning Yi knew it was Ji Yan's agent, so she continued tidying up her things.

On the other end of the phone, Qin Xue said, "You should be resting. You've worked hard these past few days."

"Hmm," Ji Yan replied.

Qin Xue paused for a moment and then asked, "I heard that you've been having people suppress some information from time to time lately. May I ask what it is?"

Ji Yan was silent for a few seconds. Qin Xue was a little anxious and said before he could speak, "You are currently in the rising phase of your career. You have so much room for improvement. Everyone has high hopes for you. I don't want you to make any mistakes right now. As long as you are in the entertainment industry, I am your manager, and I have the right to know these things."

"I'm in a relationship," Ji Yan said calmly.

Ning Yi, who was about to take the fruit to the kitchen to wash, stopped in her tracks upon hearing this and stared wide-eyed at Ji Yan.

"You're in a relationship?!" Qin Xue practically shouted.

Ji Yan subconsciously moved her phone two points away.

"You're really in a relationship? So someone took a picture of you? They know you're dating?"

"Really, how could you not tell me about something so big? You've been dating behind my back! How long have you been dating?" Qin Xue said, both surprised and angry.

"It's been over a year," Ji Yan said, looking at Ning Yi and giving her a reassuring look.

Ning Yi naturally knew that if Ji Yan's manager found out about his relationship, he would be extremely angry. It's not easy for celebrities to date; there are too many things involved.

"Ji Yan, do you know how much of an impact it is for an artist to be in a relationship? It's one thing that you don't take on advertisements or variety shows, but now you're secretly dating."

"You're currently in the prime of your career, don't you know how many female fans you have?"

“You… even if you’re in a relationship, you can’t be photographed. Can you suppress it for a while, or for a lifetime? The internet is so advanced. If one person can take a picture, another will. Have you thought about the consequences of being exposed?” Qin Xue said with a particularly troubled headache.

Ji Yan fiddled with the keys on the table with his other hand, then replied, "I know, I'll make it public as soon as possible."

These words left Qin Xue speechless. After a two-second silence, she said, "I didn't say I was urging you to go public. This is utter nonsense."

Ji Yan stopped fiddling with the keys, her expression becoming more serious: "I will go public next year. I know the consequences of going public, but I feel that as an actor and a singer, my profession is to sing well and act well."

Ning Yi looked at him nervously, while Ji Yan gave her a faint but comforting smile.

"I know I'll lose a lot of fans after I go public, but I feel that those who stay are the ones who truly support and like me."

"Besides being an artist, I'm also a boyfriend. I'm keeping it quiet now because I don't want to disturb my girlfriend's life. We'll go public next year after we've discussed it."

Qin Xue felt a real headache. It wasn't that she didn't want him to date, but it just wasn't feasible right now.

Ji Yan's acting career is developing rapidly. He has a hit representative work and a new movie that everyone is looking forward to but has not yet been released. He will also receive more outstanding works in the future.

Qin Xue found it unbearable that Ji Yan would act so recklessly, choosing to date in the last two years and even making it public.

However, she also knew that Ji Yan was not bound by others, and it was difficult for others to change his decisions, which was what troubled her the most.

Qin Xue rubbed her temples, then asked after a moment, "Are you in our circle?"

"No," Ji Yan replied calmly.

She could guess roughly what was going on. If she wasn't in the entertainment industry, she was probably a rich young lady from some powerful family. After all, someone who could be with Ji Yan couldn't be too bad off.

Qin Xue sighed, somewhat helplessly, "Alright, I'll find a chance to come see you after your holiday, and we can discuss this properly then."

"You should get some rest. That's all for now."

After hanging up the phone.

Ning Yi stepped forward and looked at him: "You...is your manager quite angry with you?"

Ji Yan gently patted her head to reassure her, saying, "She'll understand. I'll handle everything else, so you don't need to worry."

Ning Yi bit her lip, hesitating to speak.

He could tell that Ning Yi was worried about how much this would affect him, so Ji Yan took the initiative to pull Ning Yi into his arms, kissed her hair, and comforted her, "What, don't you believe me?"

Ning Yi pursed her lips, her tone somewhat muffled: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm worried this might not be good for you. If many fans object, what about your career?"

Ji Yan reached out and gently pinched her cheek, then lifted her chin to make Ning Yi look at him: "Xiao Yi, I've already told you, this isn't what you're worried about. I'll take care of everything. Even without work, I'm still your boyfriend."

"This is my responsibility."

Ning Yi stared into his deep eyes, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go cut some fruit."

She's seen too many examples, like the flood of insults that come with celebrities announcing their relationships. She knows all too well that there are too many brainless fans in today's society who just blindly follow the crowd and hurl insults. Today they might regard you as a star in the sky, but tomorrow they can slander you into nothing.

Moreover, she had also heard that if some actors publicly reveal their relationships, it can affect the audience's ability to connect with the romantic scenes in their new dramas and movies.

For example, most viewers nowadays love to ship couples.

Therefore, many actors appear to be in their thirties or forties and still unmarried, but in reality, they have several children. This affects their private lives, but the most important thing is the impact on their careers.
