The wealthy military officer spoils his wife excessively

She's practically an international movie star now. Faced with so many temptations, she clearly had better options, but who would believe she'd go back to making TV dramas? Never forgetting those who nurtured her, Nie Suwen has never forgotten the production team and the company that raised her, so the production team won't abandon her. Next, I will personally sponsor Ms. Nie Suwen's further studies at a drama school in the UK. I will support her in every way I can, no matter what.

Suwen finally couldn't hold back her tears. Holding the microphone, she choked up and couldn't say a word. She could only bow to Director Wei because she really didn't know how to express her gratitude.

The audience was moved. Perhaps many people didn't know why Nie Suwen was blacklisted before, only thinking that her overnight fame was a miracle, and then she was blacklisted again. Every cloud has a silver lining. No one ever thought that a girl of only twenty-two years old could withstand such ups and downs in life. But she came here, stood in front of everyone, and raised the trophy with a confident and elegant smile, telling the world that she could overcome all difficulties and continue on her journey!

As soon as Suwen stepped off the stage and sat down, the organizing committee came to her, saying that a female celebrity who was scheduled to attend had her flight delayed at the airport and might not make it in time, so they asked Suwen to present the award on her behalf.

Su Wen put down the trophy, her tears still wet on her face, when she was stunned by the news. She thought to herself, with so many people in the audience, even just picking anyone would be better than choosing someone with red, swollen eyes from crying. But then she thought better of it and kept quiet. They had chosen her because they thought highly of her. Going against the organizing committee would just be asking for trouble.

She gently agreed, then said to the man, "Look at me like this, you should give me some time to touch up my makeup, right?"

To my surprise, the answer I received was: "It's okay, you can go backstage to touch up your makeup. The male guest hasn't arrived yet either."

Suwen was still thinking about rehearsing her lines, but now the guests' banter before the awards ceremony had become a highlight, so the rambling just kept getting longer and longer. Suwen wasn't naturally funny; she used to stumble over her words when reciting lines. In such a big setting, what if she couldn't keep her tongue out?

The other person reassured her, "Don't worry, Brother Hua is on his way and will definitely make it."

It turns out he's a well-known talk show host from Taiwan. His talk show has high viewership on mainland Chinese websites. His humor and satire are unique, no wonder he doesn't need to read any scripts, he speaks eloquently.

Suwen really wanted to roll her eyes, unsure if she could keep up with this person's comedic pace. She could only leave it to fate.

Backstage, Xiao Ai hurriedly took out a powder compact to cover up her tear stains. Just as she finished touching up her makeup, the stagehand outside called out to her, "Nie Suwen, get ready."

They're presenting the Best Actor award, the grand prize everyone's been waiting for tonight. The presenters for this award are usually very influential figures, and Suwen was able to take on this temporary role because she's been generating a lot of buzz lately.

The male guest she was working with, Brother Hua, had just arrived and was still tying his bow tie in front of the mirror. She went up to greet him and was about to go over her lines when he said, "Relax, don't be so nervous. Just pretend you're having fun."

Suwen is truly suffering. For a seasoned host like you, that's true, but for a newbie like her, it's a different story.

But she couldn't disobey her senior, so she had no choice but to keep quiet. Before going on stage, the two chatted for a bit, and when they heard the director call their names, she put on a smile, took his hand, picked up the envelope, and walked out of the venue together.

As soon as she appeared, the male guest joked with her: "Nie Suwen, you're so busy today. You just went down to receive your award and now you're back up."

This guy is really quick-witted; he shut her up as soon as he opened his mouth. She smiled shyly and said, "I have to thank the judges of the event. They not only gave me the Best Newcomer Award, but also gave me this opportunity to be the first to know who the Best Actor is tonight."

She cleverly steered the conversation back to the award to be presented, and the other party responded with a counter-strategy.

"Among tonight's nominees, there's one who's your partner, Suwen. I heard you're from the same company. Don't you really want him to win the award?"

Look at the question! It's like they won't rest until tomorrow's newspaper has some gossip about it.

The camera had cleverly turned its lens to Xue Shaofeng's face. He was smiling broadly as he stared at Su Wen, as if he also wanted to know how she would answer.

Su Wen tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled at Xue Shaofeng below the stage: "Brother Feng, although I really want you to win this award, you're so handsome that even without the trophy, you're already the best male lead in the hearts of countless girls, right?"

The audience burst into laughter, followed by enthusiastic applause. Xue Shaofeng paused for a moment, then shook his head and clapped and laughed as well.

The man next to her stretched out his hand, clearly not going to let her off easily: "I went to see your movie too. It was raining heavily in Taipei on the premiere day, wow, such heavy rain, so many people were wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas while queuing. While I was queuing, I heard someone say: 'Ah, I want to see Xue Shaofeng, I heard he's showing all three points!'"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter again. Even the person involved covered his face and turned his head away in embarrassment to avoid being captured by the camera.

The other person continued to tease Suwen: "So, what did you think of his physique when you were filming with him? Did you blush?"

The atmosphere in Taiwan's entertainment industry is relatively relaxed, and artists usually speak without restraint.

Suwen was not used to it yet and stammered, not knowing how to say it.

The man then changed the subject: "How about we hand the microphone to the audience and ask Xue Shaofeng what he thinks of your physique?"

Seeing that he was about to step off the stage, Suwen quickly grabbed him and honestly said, "At first I was a little shy, and it was also a novel experience, but then..."

"Have you been seeing it too much and become desensitized?"

Su Wen nodded, embarrassed. She was telling the truth, but Xue Shaofeng, sitting in the audience, turned his head away again, utterly ashamed.

"Alright, since there can only be one Best Actor tonight, it's inevitable that two of the three nominated gentlemen will be disappointed. You've already comforted Xue Shaofeng, so to be fair, why don't you say something to the other two as well?"

This guy really made her cry: "I'm really bad at talking!"

The man extended his hand, indicating that he wouldn't let her off easily. Moreover, she didn't want to show favoritism; the other two nominated male actors were from mainland China and Taiwan, and she was afraid of offending anyone, so she reluctantly raised the microphone.

He said to one of them, "Professor Fu, it's not that I want to curse you to not win the award, he forced me to say it."

Let's clear our names first. That Mr. Fu is a veteran actor from mainland China. Although Suwen wasn't familiar with him, she had seen his movies since she was a child. Mr. Fu laughed and waved his hand, indicating that she should think about it and say, "Mr. Fu, the judges on our bureau's judging panel mainly thought you were too young, otherwise they would have given you the Lifetime Achievement Award directly."

The person was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, clapping their hands, and everyone else joined in the laughter.

The second person was a middle-aged actor from Taiwan. He was over thirty and had acted in many dramas, but he had never had the chance to win a major award. Suwen scratched his head, really unable to think of any words, so he said, "Teacher Wu, I really have no words. I think the judges are probably also out of ideas, so we've decided to give you room to continue to improve."

The male guest next to him immediately burst into laughter, leaning on the table, and Teacher Wu himself was also amused.

When the prizes were finally announced, the male guest considerately let the ladies go first. Suwen opened the envelope, glanced at it, and then looked towards the audience.

"Brother Feng, even though you're already very handsome, winning this award would really incur the wrath of heaven and earth. It seems the judges are deliberately trying to make us envious and jealous—Congratulations, Brother Feng."

As the rousing music began, Xue Shaofeng walked onto the stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The male guest deliberately had Su Wen present the award, so she had no choice but to hand the trophy to Xue Shaofeng with both hands. As expected, Xue Shaofeng hugged her as he accepted the trophy and whispered "thank you" in her ear.

Everyone here is a celebrity, so naturally they know how to cooperate and let the media capture the images they want.

Xue Shaofeng winning Best Actor again was something many people expected and anticipated, and the fact that Su Wen personally presented the award to him added even more buzz. This was probably the committee's original intention in having her stand in for him.

Before giving his acceptance speech, Xue Shaofeng looked at Su Wen and said very seriously, "Girl, although there is still a lot of room for improvement in your acting skills, I look forward to working with you again!"

Now that she's been blacklisted, a collaboration is probably a long way off.

But the applause was thunderous, indicating a great atmosphere.

After the Best Actor award was presented, it was time for the Best Actress award. The host announced, "Next, please welcome a special guest to present tonight's Best Actress award."

Su Wen had just sat down when she saw Xiao Rong, dressed in a dazzling silver shimmering suit, making a high-profile entrance while holding hands with a female guest.

Is he the award presenter tonight?

After the short video was played, the female guest pointed to Nie Suwen in the clip and asked, "Ms. Nie is an artist under Mr. Xiao's company, right? Does Mr. Xiao have any ulterior motives?"

Xiao Rong then became serious: "I'm an amateur when it comes to acting, but I trust the judges' judgment." He then added: "I've also seen 'Lust, Caution,' and it's an excellent film."

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of the female guest, she got back to the main topic and returned to the awards.

He picked up the envelope, opened it, and handed it to Xiao Rong. Xiao Rong glanced at it and then thoughtfully looked down at the audience. Su Wen was staring at the big screen, and from this angle, it seemed as if he was looking directly at Su Wen on the screen.

She was taken aback. Xiao Rong had already turned her gaze back to the envelope, slowly read the words in front of the award, and then handed the envelope back to the female guest next to her.

The female guest loudly announced the winner's name, and it was indeed not Nie Suwen.
