Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Nian emerged victorious in this battle. Besides Huang Yue, who faced the repercussions of her own actions, Wen Nian also garnered significant attention. Her social media account went from having a dozen followers to 10,000 followers.

On the set.

Pan Jia, who stood waiting at the side, observed with a smile as Wen Nian and Xu Chang entered the set. While she harbored hidden resentment towards them, she refrained from acting impulsively. Thankfully, she had managed to convince Huang Yue to take the blame. Otherwise, her own reputation would have been irreparably tarnished!

Pan Jia felt a pang of regret as she recalled the money she had paid Huang Yue to hire the Internet Water Army. She had saved it diligently for the purpose of filming and had even borrowed a significant amount from her boyfriend. Initially, she had hoped to use this scheme to destroy Wen Nian’s reputation. However, now she realized that her plan had nearly backfired, putting herself in jeopardy instead.

Pan Jia straightened her cotton clothes and cast a glance at her assistant, Sun Yue, who stood beside her. She appeared slightly uneasy, clearing her throat a couple of times before inquiring, “You mentioned that you used to work at a bar and had connections with influential individuals. Are you still in touch with them?”

Sun Yue was momentarily taken aback. Some wealthy individuals she knew had seen her post on the production team’s WeChat Moments, showcasing her role as an assistant. Some time ago, they had reached out to her, requesting assistance in connecting with actresses. It had turned into a sort of commission-based arrangement, where she received benefits in exchange.

Upon hearing the mention of “benefits,” Sun Yue hesitated and evaded the topic when discussing it with Pan Jia. At that moment, Pan Jia displayed a cold and distant attitude. Not only did she decline the proposal, but she also reprimanded Sun Yue for even considering such a proposition.

As Sun Yue observed Pan Jia’s feigned reserve and heard her ask in a hushed tone, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of disdain within her heart.

Nevertheless, she maintained a sycophantic smile and responded, “Yes, there is a wealthy individual from a privileged background who has expressed a keen interest in the circle of actresses. Just a few days ago, upon learning that 1 work as a celebrity assistant, he reached out to me personally and expressed his desire to meet some friends of actresses and engage in casual conversations with them whenever he has the opportunity.”

She couldn’t say it too explicitly, but those who had been in this circle knew what was going on.

Pan Jia didn’t want to find a sugar daddy, but it had been almost two years since she received her first role. Unfortunately, she was still limited to playing minor characters, often receiving scenes that amounted to no more than the fifth female lead.

However, Pan Jia couldn’t help but feel a sense of indignation when she saw that many female leads in the industry were not even as talented as her. She couldn’t help but notice that some actresses secured prominent roles simply by getting involved with the director or the investors. This fact left her feeling frustrated and resentful.

As Pan Jia observed the inexperienced Wen Nian in the distance, who seemed to rely on luck to secure leading roles, she grew increasingly impatient. At that point, she felt that she couldn’t afford to wait any longer. Regardless of whose bed it might be, as long as it guaranteed her the opportunity to play the female lead, she was willing to accept it now, setting aside her previous reservations.

Pan Jia yearned to prove to Xu Chang that selecting Wen Nian over her had been a grave error.

With determination in her eyes, Pan Jia removed the mask from her face and fixed her gaze on Sun Yue. “Don’t bother with those wealthy second-generation heirs seeking frivolous encounters. Instead, focus on finding CEOs with significant investment power. Once they achieve success, they will naturally offer you substantial benefits.”

Sun Yue comprehended Pan Jia’s intentions. It was clear to her that Pan Jia’s aim went beyond mere financial gains through illicit means. She was seeking a sugar daddy. Sun Yue responded promptly and candidly, “Sure, no problem!”

The subsequent days resumed their usual rhythm. Before long, January 27th arrived, marking the 30th day of the lunar year. Wen Yu and Zhou Mei had arrived in the capital the previous day, while Shen Jun had returned to his own home to celebrate the new year.

Noticing that there weren’t enough sleeping arrangements for all four of them, Xu Chang considered booking another room for Wen Yu to rest in. However, Wen Yu believed that it would be more comfortable for the family to stay together and declined the offer. Fortunately, the spacious sofa in the living room of the suite was sufficient for him to sleep on alone, so it was not a problem.

It was a rarity for Wen Nian to sleep until nine o’clock. As she opened the door, she discovered that her parents and brother had already begun putting up window flowers and “blessing” stickers around the hotel.

This marked Wen Nian’s first New Year after her rebirth. Despite being thousands of miles away from her hometown in the capital, she couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness and contentment as she saw her family by her side.

Wen Nian smiled warmly and approached them, offering her greetings. “Good morning, Dad and Mom. Good morning, Brother.”

Wen Xing, who was cleaning the table, turned around and responded.

Zhou Mei and Wen Xing noticed that their daughter was wearing pajamas, her hair slightly tousled from just waking up. Her appearance exuded a gentle and obedient demeanor, prompting them to shower her with affectionate doting.

Zhou Mei smiled tenderly and spoke softly, “Mommy fried your favorite radish cake today. Go ahead and ladle a bowl of millet porridge. We can have whatever we desire for breakfast and lunch today. We’ll indulge ourselves with a lavish feast for the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight!”

Wen Nian nodded in agreement. She made a mental note to hurry to the market after breakfast. Otherwise, by 3 pm, most shops would already be closed. Only after the New Year’s Eve dinner would some larger shopping malls briefly reopen for business..
