"Wahhh!!"
"Waaahhh!!"
Yan Qiuyue was crying so hard that her whole body was shaking. Between sobs, she recounted the entire ordeal of being forced into an arranged marriage.
Su Muwan listened intently, nodding along.
So that's how it was.
As everyone knew, Yan Qiuyue was the eldest daughter of the Yan family, inheriting a fortune worth hundreds of millions.
But her personal dream was to become a queen of the entertainment industry.
Despite the pressure from her family and her career, Yan Qiuyue had stubbornly carved out a small niche for herself in the entertainment world.
She had become a rising star, a popular young actress.
She had starred alongside several famous actors in a few blockbuster movies.
She had also played the lead in several youth romance dramas set in high school.
But the problem lay here.
Normally, when promoting a movie, it was common to interact with fellow actors on social media.
But...
"That idiot!"
"He just wanted to ride on my fame, so his company spread rumors about us!"
Yan Qiuyue wiped her tears as she cried, "Stuff like us secretly meeting, or being photographed leaving a hotel together at night... it's all fake! They just used tricky angles to make those photos!"
With that, she clung to Su Muwan's arm, sobbing, "Muwan, please help me!"
"No matter how much I explain, no one believes me. My dad is furious."
"He's ordered me to quit the entertainment industry immediately and go back to marry some guy named Ye Qun."
Su Muwan finally understood.
Well then.
The plot from her past life had arrived once again.
Su Muwan sighed softly in resignation.
In her past life, her best friend had cried to her in the same way.
Being kind-hearted and soft-spoken, Su Muwan had naturally rushed to Ye Qun's house and beaten him up.
Yes, that Ye Qun was the prized treasure of the Ye Family in Wang City!
He usually secluded himself to cultivate, and during Su Muwan's last visit to Wang City, he hadn't shown up.
By now, Yan Qiuyue had mostly stopped crying. She sniffled and said, "Muwan, let me tell you, I was originally supposed to marry Ye Qing, the eldest son of the Ye Family."
"But..."
"But what?"
"But didn't the Dragon King from the Dragon King Palace come to Jiang City? Ye Qing, representing the Ye Family, also came, and then you and Qin Luo beat him into a coma. He's still lying in the hospital."
"So they replaced him with Ye Qun."
Su Muwan: "......"
What kind of ridiculous chain of events is this?
Just then.
*Knock knock~*
A gentle knock sounded at the door. Qin Luo stood outside holding a fruit platter, asking, "Miss, would you like some fruit?"
Hearing his voice, Su Muwan's eyes lit up. She quickly called out, "Qin Luo, come in!"
"Okay."
*Click.*
The door opened, and Qin Luo walked in with the fruit platter.
And so, the number of people comforting Yan Qiuyue increased to two.
"Waaah, Qin Luo! Tell me, isn't my dad an idiot?"
Yan Qiuyue's eyes were red from crying, and she continued to sob intermittently.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan sat side by side, exchanging a glance.
Su Muwan coughed lightly and elbowed Qin Luo in the side, gesturing with her chin, "What do you think?"
Qin Luo nodded, then turned to Yan Qiuyue. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Miss Yan, what do you plan to do now?"
"What can I do? I refuse to marry some guy I don't even know!"
"Besides, I haven't even become a queen of the entertainment industry yet! How can I just retire like this?"
Yan Qiuyue wiped her tears and looked stubbornly at Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
*Hiss!*
What a perfect match those two made!
Su Muwan was the big sister of Jiang City, successful in her career, and now she had Qin Luo by her side.
In comparison, Yan Qiuyue's career was in shambles, she was being slandered, and her father was forcing her into marriage.
Ah!
I can't go on like this!
Yan Qiuyue couldn't hold it in anymore. She covered her face and burst into tears again.
"Qin Luo, what do we do?"
Seeing this, Su Muwan pulled Qin Luo aside and whispered to him.
Qin Luo glanced at Yan Qiuyue, who was crying uncontrollably, then turned to Su Muwan and asked, "So Miss Yan came to you just to cry about this?"
"Uh... yeah, that's right!"
Su Muwan blinked, feeling a bit guilty.
*Can I tell him that she's actually the strategist I invited to help me confess my feelings to you?*
"Then it's simple!"
Qin Luo smiled, then walked over to Yan Qiuyue and said, "Miss Yan, I have an idea."
Yan Qiuyue sniffled and looked up at Qin Luo, "What is it?"
"It's simple..."
Qin Luo raised his hand and pointed at Su Muwan, saying, "First, have my lady deal with the person spreading those rumors, clear your name, and restore your reputation in the entertainment industry."
"Then go to the Ye Family in Wang City and make Ye Qun crawl to Jiang City to kneel at your feet and apologize. You'll be the one to call off the engagement."
"Finally..."
Qin Luo clenched his fist and grinned sinisterly, "Force your father to step down and let you take over the Yan family."
His words were filled with a murderous aura.
Su Muwan: "......"
Yan Qiuyue: "......"
Yan Qiuyue stopped crying. Her face turned pale, and she forced a weak smile, "Isn't that... a bit too much?"
Although she didn't want to go through with it, this approach seemed too extreme, too violent. It didn't fit their usual style.
And forcing her father to step down? Wouldn't that make her the ultimate unfilial daughter?
Su Muwan also nodded vigorously. *Come on, I've already suffered the consequences of doing something like this in my past life.*
*This time, I can't just go around beating people up again, right?*
*Remember, in my past life, after I forcefully broke off the engagement for Yan Qiuyue, that Ye Qun shouted:*
*"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west! Don't bully the young for being poor!"*
*He was one of those destined heroes!*
*Although, to be honest...*
Su Muwan covered her face.
*There were so many destined heroes that I can't even remember who's who anymore.*
*Back then, as soon as I arrived in Wang City, I managed to thoroughly offend the Ye Family.*
*Considering the timing, since my best friend is being forced into marriage, that treasure of the Ye Family should be making his appearance soon.*
*So, for the sake of my best friend, Su Muwan patted Qin Luo and said, "Qin Luo, we live in a civilized society now."*
*"We need to be a bit more civilized and reasonable. We can't just go around fighting all the time."*
*"By the way..."*
Su Muwan turned to Yan Qiuyue with curiosity, "Who was that celebrity spreading rumors about you again?"
"What celebrity? He's just a little influencer with some cultivation skills, a white lotus!"
"His name is... Mei Ziang!"
Su Muwan: "........"
She smiled.
Then she turned back to Qin Luo and said, "I think your idea is pretty good."
Yan Qiuyue was stunned. She stood up and stammered, "Uh... Muwan, are you serious? I didn't mean..."
Before she could finish, Su Muwan stepped forward and gave Yan Qiuyue a firm pat on the shoulder, smiling warmly, "Qiuyue, don't worry. I've got your back on this!"
"Ah...."
