Qin Ruoyao's heart was pounding as she stepped into the audition room.
The three people sitting inside nodded in unison.
Not bad, her face perfectly matched the image of An Xiaoniao.
"Qin Ruoyao, right? Can you dance?" the director asked.
"Yes," she replied.
Dancing could elevate a person's aura.
Qin's Mother had sent Qin Ruoyao to dance classes at a very young age, hoping to make her irresistibly captivating to men.
Qin Ruoyao began to dance gracefully in the center of the room.
"Not bad, not bad," the director nodded approvingly.
"Alright, let's see you perform this scene."
The director handed Qin Ruoyao two pages of the script.
The scene was one where An Xiaoniao feigned vulnerability and wept bitterly.
This was well within Qin Ruoyao's comfort zone.
As she performed, her eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her face like rain on pear blossoms.
Her voice trembled as she delivered her lines.
She perfectly executed the scene.
"My performance is over," Qin Ruoyao said, bowing to the panel.
"Very good," the director couldn't stop nodding.
Qin Ruoyao couldn't help but smile at their praise.
If she could sign with Tianmu Entertainment, this would be her chance to turn her life around.
Suddenly, the door swung open.
Everyone turned to see an extraordinarily handsome man walk in.
None of them had met Lin Xuan before, let alone knew he was their boss.
Lin Xuan looked at Qin Ruoyao in surprise.
What was she doing here?
"Sir, are you here to audition for the role of Prince Guo? We're currently auditioning for An Xiaoniao. Please step out for now," the director said, though his tone wasn't harsh.
He was quite impressed with Lin Xuan's appearance, which perfectly matched the image of Prince Guo—tall, elegant, and dashing.
If his acting skills were good, it would be perfect.
Hearing the director's words, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. So, this was the audition for the script he had brought from another world.
"Not bad, she does suit An Xiaoniao," Lin Xuan nodded.
He casually sat down on a chair, crossing his legs. "Same white lotus personality too."
Qin Ruoyao's face flushed red, and she clenched her fists.
"Lin Xuan, I've already left Qinghua University. Do you still have to humiliate me like this?" she bit her lip, her voice filled with resentment.
"Qin Ruoyao, didn't I tell you that leaving Qinghua University was just the beginning?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Did she think he would let her off so easily?
"What do you think of Qin Ruoyao?" Lin Xuan asked, glancing at the panel.
"Not bad," the director replied from a professional standpoint. "Her appearance fits the delicate image of An Xiaoniao, and her acting is decent."
"Kick her out," Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.
Qin Ruoyao was stunned.
Then she sneered, "Lin Xuan, who do you think you are? You can't just kick me out like that. Are you overestimating yourself?"
"Lin Xuan, I'll show you how I, Qin Ruoyao, will rise to the top. And you? You'll be abandoned by Su Hua, and you'll beg on your knees before me!" Qin Ruoyao whispered to Lin Xuan.
Once she found a wealthy and powerful man to rely on, she would make sure Lin Xuan experienced everything she had gone through.
The three panelists were all quite satisfied with her.
She was confident she could land the role of An Xiaoniao. Once she joined Tianmu Entertainment, with her talent, she would surely be groomed for stardom.
She would become a household name.
Lin Xuan casually rested his hands behind his head and raised an eyebrow. "What a coincidence, I am actually the boss of Tianmu Entertainment."
"Lin Xuan, if you were really the boss of Tianmu Entertainment, why wouldn't they recognize you?" Qin Ruoyao scoffed.
At that moment, Lei Hui pushed the door open and walked in.
The director immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully, "General Manager."
Lei Hui nodded.
He was about to approach Lin Xuan when Qin Ruoyao blocked his path.
Lei Hui looked at Qin Ruoyao, frowning.
Wasn't this Qin Ruoyao?
The person their boss was personally dealing with.
"General Manager, someone is impersonating your boss," Qin Ruoyao said.
"Who?" Lei Hui asked, frowning.
"Lin Xuan," Qin Ruoyao pointed at Lin Xuan.
She glanced at Lin Xuan triumphantly, waiting to see him kicked out of Tianmu Entertainment.
Lei Hui ignored her, stepped past her, and walked up to Lin Xuan, bowing respectfully. "Boss."
Qin Ruoyao's eyes widened in shock.
Boss?
"You just called Lin Xuan... boss?" Qin Ruoyao's face was filled with disbelief.
"That's right," Lei Hui nodded. "He is our boss. Tianmu Group belongs to him."
"No, that's impossible," Qin Ruoyao shook her head, unable to accept it.
How could this be?
How could Lin Xuan own such a massive company?
Lin Xuan stood up calmly from his chair.
"Remove Qin Ruoyao from the company. Additionally, all businesses under Tianmu Group are to permanently blacklist her."
With that one sentence, Qin Ruoyao's fate was sealed.
Her dream of climbing the ladder through Tianmu Entertainment was completely shattered. She staggered back, barely able to stand.
What could she do now?
Starlight Entertainment wouldn't take her, and now Tianmu Entertainment had rejected her.
Which entertainment company would accept her?
If she couldn't break into the entertainment industry, what else could she do?
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Qin Ruoyao, our company doesn't welcome you. Please leave."
Qin Ruoyao bit her lip and stumbled out of Tianmu Group's building.
"Wahhh..."
She crouched on the ground, crying bitterly.
She regretted it, truly regretted it.
If only she had stayed loyal to Lin Xuan, she would be living a happy life now.
Qin Ruoyao returned to the Qin household like a walking corpse.
"Ruoyao, how did the audition go?" Qin's Mother asked with concern.
"I didn't get it," Qin Ruoyao shook her head, her eyes red.
"How is that possible?" Qin's Mother was stunned. With her daughter's talent, how could she have been rejected?
"Mom, the boss of Tianmu Group is Lin Xuan," Qin Ruoyao cried.
"It's him?!" Qin's Mother's face was filled with disbelief.
"Mom, what should I do now?" Qin Ruoyao's tears continued to stream down her face.
Qin's Mother's mind was in chaos.
What could they do?
She had no idea...
"Ugh—" Qin Ruoyao suddenly felt a strong wave of nausea. She stumbled into the bathroom and vomited violently.
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
