Chapter 2

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The dispute between the female lead and the male lead was no different from the plot of the domineering CEO falling in love with the girl. The female lead was a commoner girl chasing her dreams in the entertainment industry, and the male lead was a famous president in the film industry.

The plot was probably that of the commoner Cinderella contradicting the male protagonist, after which he smiled wickedly and thought to himself, ‘Heh, interesting. You have my attention.’

Thus began a love dispute.

As for this man called Chu Jiang, he was her husband, uh, soon-to-be ex-husband. He was also the current Best Actor in the entertainment industry. At a young age, he had won the top three Best Actor awards in the country, and then won the international Best Actor Award with an international director. He was simply the male version of the real-life Bai Yun.

However, the problem was that although the woman whose body she transmigrated into had the same name as her, her situation was very different. In the original novel’s plot, in order to forcefully drag the female lead and Chu Jiang into a love line, the author had made the outstanding Best Actor become the supporting character, just so that the male and female leads could get together. The result was a ridiculous plot.

How ridiculous, exactly?

It was so ridiculous that Bai Yun and Chu Jiang actually didn’t know each other before they got married. This was because Bai Yun’s adoptive mother had signed an agreement for organ donation after death and saved Chu Jiang’s mother. In order to repay her kindness, Chu Jiang married Bai Yun.

Who would marry a woman they didn’t know in this day and age?

That wasn’t all. After marriage, Chu Jiang maintained a polite and cold distance, leading Bai Yun to fall in love with the male lead after getting disappointed time and time again.

In order to meet the male lead, Bai Yun believed her only good friend’s suggestion. She went to the clubhouse yesterday because she heard that she could meet the male lead if she got close to Director Yuan.

And this was also the meeting point between the female lead and the male supporting character!

This was because the female lead was working many part-time jobs in order to pay off her debts as soon as possible, and this club was one of them.

Kind by nature, the female lead knew that nothing good could come out of Bai Yun entering the private room. Therefore, when delivering the wine, she decided to save Bai Yun.

While they were both being picked on, the male supporting character appeared. Yes, on this night, the male lead did not appear in this clubhouse, but Chu Jiang was there. He even watched as his wife entered the private room that others often said the unspoken rule took place. From then on, he became even more determined to get a divorce.

In order to show the greatness of the female lead, the author made Chu Jiang watch the entire process from outside the private room. Compared to Bai Yun, he was completely attracted to the female lead. That night, he got his assistant to bring the divorce agreement to Bai Yun.

Bai Yun, on the other hand, could not accept the fact that both the male lead and supporting character had fallen in love with the female lead. Relying on her notorious fame, she began to mess with the female lead’s acting career. In the end, she suffered the consequences of her evil deeds and was exposed by the female lead’s fans for climbing up the ranks by means of the unspoken rule. Unable to bear the cyberbullying, she committed suicide. She lasted less than three chapters in the novel.

Bai Yun’s greatest use in this book was to form a contrast with the female lead so that all the male supporting characters and male leads would discover what a rare gem the latter was.

The ending of the male supporting character, Chu Jiang, could be considered tragic because he was at odds with the male lead and the author showed favoritism towards the latter. During a filming, his face was burned and his voice was ruined because of a mistake with a blasting prop.

After that, in his drunken state, Chu Jiang got into a car accident on his way to look for the female lead and became paralyzed. In the end, he couldn’t take the blow and chose to burn himself to death in his own home.

Bai Yun existed in the novel to complement the female lead, while Chu Jiang was there to complement the male lead.

What a pair of supporting characters. What a couple with a wretched ending.

And now, the female lead and Chu Jiang’s storyline was ruined by her over-the-shoulder throw yesterday. The female lead and Chu Jiang didn’t meet. Also, the divorce agreement that should have been sent by the assistant was, instead, now placed in front of Chu Jiang.

That meant the plot was changeable.

Perhaps impatient due to the long silence, Chu Jiang got up and walked towards the bed. When he stood up, Bai Yun’s attention fell on his lips.

His lips were very pale. With his upper lip slightly curled, his lips looked like they were smiling. They were moist and looked very kissable. Bai Yun swallowed and touched her neck.

“Don’t play games, Bai Yun. Isn’t this what you’ve been waiting for?” His voice was low and as clear as the scent of cedar on his body.

Bai Yun lowered her head. After going through the plot, she roughly figured out her current situation.

She had just transmigrated into this book, and many things were blurry and unclear. If she had a reliable backer, she could definitely turn Bai Yun’s situation around in a short period of time.

She sighed at the thought.

In the original book, Bai Yun had elegant looks and was the perfect example of a beauty with pronounced and defined facial features. She was adept at making use of her strength.

Bai Yun bit her lip, the tears in her eyes about to fall. In a slightly tearful voice, she said, “I don’t want a divorce, Chu Jiang.”

She sniffled and hugged her knees, her nose red. “You married me when I was at my most difficult. I don’t know why, but you were the only light in my dark days.”

She had originally relied on her acting skills to figure out the original Bai Yun’s emotions, but at this moment, she really seemed to feel the original Bai Yun’s suffocating emotions. “If you don’t love me, you shouldn’t have married me. You shouldn’t have treated me well, made me rely on you, then pushed me away.”

Tears streamed down her face as she choked. “You can’t do this to me, Chu Jiang.”

As she looked up at Chu Jiang, tears fell from the corners of her eyes to her lips. Yes, the director had said that she was the most beautiful at this angle.

As for Chu Jiang, he was still wearing that same nonchalant smile. He only lowered his eyes as he listened to her nonsense.

Damn, she hated hypocritical men.
