We'll never meet again in life or death. From now on, all traces and news will fade away.

 The popular movie star Si Jinnian and I had been in a long-term relationship for five years. On the wedding day, he broke off the engagement with me in public, holding hands with another girl.

The guests at the scene were pointing and talking, and I begged him to save my face.

Si Jinnian coldly pushed me away and said, "If you hadn't been such a jerk to me, I would have married Xinyao a long time ago. Why would I have wasted all these years with you?"

I was pushed down by him in a mess, but fell steadily into a warm embrace.

It was my boss Pei Shujing who took great care of me. He got down on one knee and proposed to me, "Nian'an, give me a chance to love you."

I agreed out of spite, and Pei Shujing really gave me a grand wedding. He loved and cared for me after marriage, and everyone praised me for having a blessing in disguise.

But three years later, after I bought my wedding anniversary gift and logged out of my tablet, I accidentally saw the chat history between him and his assistant.

"Boss Pei, since you loved Lu Xinyao so much and made her a famous actress, why didn't you just marry her instead of giving her away?"

"Xinyao likes Si Jinnian, so I married Cheng Nian'an to make her happy. As long as she can be happy, let alone become a movie queen, I will help her remove all stumbling blocks."

I felt like I was falling into an icy cave.

Only then did I realize that all the love and affection they had shown in the three years of marriage was just an act.

Since he loves Lu Xinyao so deeply, I will step aside and help him.

1

My phone ran out of battery, so I remembered to use the tablet at home to choose gifts.

But I saw things I shouldn't have seen.

Pei Shujing always speaks briefly and to the point when chatting, and rarely sends long paragraphs, but every word in the chat record between him and his assistant is sincere.

"Since Xinyao doesn't like me, I will choose to fulfill her wish. She likes acting, so I will help her open a path to the entertainment industry. She wants her husband to become a movie emperor, so I will do my best to support Si Jinnian."

"She is the only pure white jasmine in my heart. Even if she enters the entertainment industry, I will protect her purity and let her be happy forever."

Seeing these made my hands and feet cold and I felt like I was falling into an icy cave.

I continued to slide down with trembling hands.

"As for Cheng Nian'an, it's enough to keep her by my side and not disturb Xinyao and Si Jinnian's happiness. I can't marry Xinyao anyway..."

"It doesn't matter who you marry."

I laughed out loud with red eyes, it would be the same no matter who I marry.

At that wedding three years ago, I was humiliated in public, and Pei Shujing came down from the sky like a hero to propose to me and save me from embarrassment.

I agreed to his proposal out of spite. After marriage, I gradually fell in love with him and indulged in his tenderness.

I thought he loved me deeply.

But I don’t think it’s all fake.

From the beginning to the end, he, like Si Jinnian, only loved Lu Xinyao in his heart.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and I quickly exited the page and put the tablet back where it was.

Footsteps sounded behind me, and the next second Pei Shujing hugged me from behind with mist on his face.

"Nian'an, you smell so good."

"You've been busy all day, let me hug you."

I numbly felt the tenderness and dependence of the person behind me, and felt a dull pain in my chest.

In the three years since we got married, everyone who knows me says that Pei Shujing and I are a perfect match.

He used to like smoking, but he quit smoking for me just because I frowned.

My dream is to become an actor.

Pei Shujing mobilized all the resources in his hands to support me. When black fans launched personal attacks on me, he protected me behind him without hesitation.

"Please stay rational. I will always support my wife."

Even though I had been acting for three years and was still an unknown supporting role, Pei Shujing was very doting on me in front of the reporters.

"As long as my wife is happy, anything is fine."

But I forgot that as long as Lu Xinyao appeared, his eyes would always stay on her.

That was never my illusion.

Noticing my silence, Pei Shujing stopped smiling and looked at me nervously.

"Nian'an, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red?"

I looked up, "Have you ever lied to me?"

Pei Shujing was stunned, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

But he quickly put on a serious look and said, "Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? I swore to you when we got married that I would never lie to you."

Afraid that I didn’t believe him, he quickly added.

"Otherwise, I will lose the person I love forever. Is this oath cruel enough? Nian An, you can believe me now, right?"

I turned my face away and smiled, but there was a coldness in my eyes.

If you marry someone you don't love, wouldn't that mean you lose your love forever?

"Okay, I believe you."

Pei Shujing breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to carry me to bed, but I stared at him calmly.

"Has the leading actress for the play 'The Flowing Years Wash Away the Lead' been decided?"

Pei Shujing was stunned.

"Nian An, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Aren't you planning on not taking this role?"

Pei Shujing sat down, held my hand, and asked me with a frown.

He knew very well that I had been practicing my acting skills for half a year in preparation for this play.

But the night before the heroine was confirmed.

Pei Shujing suddenly came back drunk. He pushed me down on the bed and kissed me madly.

When we were deeply in love, he held my fingers together and said, "Nian'an, let's have a child."

I looked at him with a puzzled look.

Pei Shujing said with guilt, "I went for a physical examination today, and the doctor said I have asthenospermia. It's best to have a baby this year, otherwise it will be difficult to get pregnant in a few years."

His kisses fell heavily on my neck.

Almost coquettishly whispering and pleading.

"Good Nian'an, I know this is unfair to you and you need to sacrifice your work and career, but I promise that after the baby is born, I will let the company get you a few big dramas and make you the heroine, okay?"

I wanted to refuse, but looking at his moist, pleading eyes, I heard my own voice ring out gently, "Okay."

Pei Shujing tormented me the whole night.

After we were done, he held me in his arms and said, "Then we won't go to the crew starting tomorrow. Let's stay at home and prepare for pregnancy."

All my words got stuck in my throat.

But little did they know that he didn't have asthenospermia at all and didn't want a child.

Just because.

The night he got drunk, Lu Xinyao came to see him.

While he was sleeping, I ran to the underground garage and checked the dashcam.

"Shu Jing, I know you are the best. This play is very important to me. Please give me the female lead."

Lu Xinyao begged in a coquettish manner.

Pei Shujing was silent for a while, "But I have already promised this play to Nian An, you know, she..."

The next second his words were interrupted, replaced by rapid breathing.

Maybe it was Lu Xinyao who kissed him.

"Shu Jing, I know you like me, and I just want to be in that play, even if it means just sleeping with you for one night. Just find a reason to explain to Cheng Nian'an. Anyway, she is just a minor supporting role, so it doesn't matter whether she acts in the play or not."

Then there was the sound of a zipper.

Pei Shujing couldn't believe it, "Xinyao, you don't have to be like this."

He pushed the person away, zipped up his pants again, and said in a hoarse voice,

"I can give you anything you want, even my life."

"Xinyao, don't worry. If you want that play, it's yours. I will persuade Cheng Nian'an to give it up."

"You're home, go back."

After reading it, I understood everything.

What is asthenospermia?

I have already asked my private doctor about the results of that physical examination, and Pei Shujing was in good health.

As for children, Pei Shujing has never liked children, let alone having one.

I just didn't expect that he could do this for Lu Xinyao.

He has worked so hard.

Thinking of this, I suddenly smiled and said, "Nothing, go to bed early."

I turned off the lights on my own initiative and turned my back to him.

Pei Shujing tucked in the quilt for me and was about to lie down beside me when his cell phone suddenly rang.

"I told you not to disturb me after get off work, why is Assistant Chen..."

He looked down at his phone and his soliloquy came to an abrupt halt.

His expression suddenly changed.

The moment he turned around, I took a glance and saw the note was Xinyao.

In the three years since they got married, Pei Shujing's rule is to turn off his cell phone when he enters the house.

The media hyped up this incident, saying how much Mr. Pei of Xinyu Entertainment loves his wife and only spends his time after get off work with her.

But they are not right.

Once I met Lu Xinyao, all exceptions were made.

Pei Shujing came back after answering the phone, picked up his coat with an anxious look on his face and was about to leave.

"Nian'an, something's going on at the company and I have to go check it out first!"

I stared at him calmly, "Aren't you busy with work after get off work?"

Pei Shujing was stunned for a moment, a hint of impatience flashed across his face, "This is a special situation, I'll explain it to you when I get back."

The door was slammed shut.

The last thing I saw was the veins bulging on the back of Pei Shujing’s hands due to anxiety.

I sneered, put on my clothes and followed Pei Shujing. While he went to the underground garage, I took a taxi and waited at the door.

When Pei Shujing's car drove out, I said to the driver, "Follow the car in front."

I saw with my own eyes that Pei Shujing stopped at the villa complex where Lu Xinyao lived and came out five minutes later with the haggard-looking Lu Xinyao in his arms.

There was an unprecedented panic on his face, "Xinyao, hold on a little longer, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Lu Xinyao hooked her arm around his neck and nodded.

Pei Shujing ran through three red lights along the way. When he arrived at the hospital, he quickly registered for the emergency room. The nurse looked up and said, "Ask your wife to sit over here."

Pei Shujing was stunned for a moment, but did not deny it.

It turned out that Lu Xinyao had appendicitis. During the whole process of hanging water, Pei Shujing stayed quietly by her side, and the patient in the next bed gave her admiring looks.

"Your husband is handsome and gentle. He stays with you till the middle of the night. You are so lucky."

Pei Shujing smiled and subconsciously looked at Lu Xinyao lovingly.

Lu Xinyao shook her head and patted his shoulder, "He is not my husband, but my good brother. I am grateful to him for today."

Pei Shujing's face was filled with loneliness, but he accepted it all.

When she was discharged from the hospital, Pei Shujing still held her carefully in his arms.

"Is Si Jinnian... not good to you?"

Lu Xinyao looked at him with a smile, "How could that be? Jinnian has loved me for so many years, and now that he finally married me, I must cherish him well."

"He just spent a fortune to buy me the naming rights for a star a few days ago. He wanted to stay home with me today, but the crew couldn't get him away. Unexpectedly, he got appendicitis. I couldn't bear to disturb him from filming, so I called you. Shu Jing, you wouldn't mind, right?"

I thought Pei Shujing would be disappointed to be treated as a spare tire.

Unexpectedly, there was a hint of smile on his face and his tone was extremely pious.

"I don't mind. I'm happy that you can think of me when you need me."

I closed my eyes. I no longer cared where they were going or what they were going to do.

Not seen with my own eyes.

I would never have known that Pei Shujing was so infatuated.

I've completely given up.

When Pei Shujing came back, it was already the next morning. He saw that I had only made breakfast for one person and smiled guiltily.

"Nian'an, I'm sorry. I finished my work at the company in the early morning last night. I didn't want to wake you up when I came back, so I stayed at the company for the night."

My face remained calm, "It's okay."

Suddenly a push notification popped up on the phone.

I accidentally clicked on it and it turned out to be photos taken by paparazzi last night.

[Surprise! The president of Xinyu Entertainment went into the private villa of Queen Lu last night and did not come out until dawn! ]

When I saw it, Pei Shujing was also staring at his phone and frowning.

“Tell them to delete it immediately.”

He whispered to his assistant, and sure enough, five minutes later, all the marketing accounts were deleted, and the push message seemed to have never appeared.

I smiled bitterly and stood up. Pei Shujing looked at me warily.

"Nian An, where are you going?"

I almost forgot that today is the day for the audition for the female lead in "The Lost Time".

Since Lu Xinyao has already been chosen, the so-called audition is just a formality.

He was probably afraid that I would suddenly change my mind and compete with Lu Xinyao for the role.

I said calmly, "I've been bored at home for too long, let me go out and buy a cake."

Pei Shujing smiled and wanted to follow him. "I'll take you there."

"No."

I looked up at him, "You're having an audition today, aren't you going to check it out?"

As expected, I guessed Pei Shujing's thoughts correctly, so he didn't need to make any excuses anymore, and even his steps became lighter when he left.

I withdrew my gaze, printed out my resume, and changed into something more formal.

Took a taxi to another crew.

"Your name is Cheng Nian'an?"

The staff member looked up at me in confusion and said, "If I remember correctly, your husband runs an entertainment company and needs a lot of resources."

He looked at me with his arms crossed, his tone somewhat sarcastic.

"I heard that your husband's new play is having an audition today. Wouldn't it be easy for you to get the leading female role? Why did you come to our small crew to audition for a supporting role?"

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I used to think so too.

I have seen many posts more than once, and many netizens said, "Cheng Nian'an has such good acting skills and good looks, how can he not be popular?"

"That's right, Lu Xinyao's acting is so embarrassing, how can she become a movie queen even with this?"

But after more than ten minutes, those comments questioning Lu Xinyao quickly disappeared.

Even those who praised my acting skills were overwhelmed by countless internet trolls and zombie posts praising Lu Xinyao’s beauty.

Even if I'm stupid, I can see that.

In the past two years, Pei Shujing has devoted all his resources to cultivating Si Jinnian and Lu Xinyao as a couple.

I originally thought it was because of our old friendship as college classmates.

But now that I know Pei Shujing's thoughts, what else is there that I don't understand?

His heart is Lu Xinyao's heart, and his words are the words he wants to say to Lu Xinyao but can't say.

Everything he did was to pave the way for Lu Xinyao.

"Those are all news hype. I don't know Pei Shujing, and he is not my husband." I said calmly.

I have already signed the divorce agreement, so it's not a lie.

"And I want to bring this character to life with my acting skills."

The staff looked at me for a long time and finally put a cross on my name.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Cheng, we already have a suitable candidate for this role."

I was stunned. I hadn't even auditioned yet, so why was I rejected?

I begged them again and again to consider me.

But he was ordered to leave.

I held my resume in my hand and waited for a long time. I heard them whisper, "Who dares to hire her? Xinyu's President Pei has already announced that his wife cannot act in any drama!"

"Everyone knows that Cheng Nian'an is such a great actress. If she accidentally overshadows Lu Ying-Queen, that would be a disaster!"

I bit my lip tightly. Pei Shujing, do you really want to make it impossible for me to survive in this circle?

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly someone called me.

I slowly turned around and saw the man in sunglasses staring at me, "I have another play here, with a lot of dirty work, do you want to take it?"

I nodded suddenly, "I'll take it!"

I recognized him. He is the famous director Zhang.

He is best at discovering buried new talents and has a keen eye for identifying gems.

I exchanged contact information with him that day and agreed to come to the crew for an audition the next day.

But I didn't expect that when I arrived at the crew the next day with great joy, I saw the person I least wanted to see in my life.

Si Jinnian deliberately poured a glass of cold water on my face.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't see anyone coming."

He looked at me with disdain. "Isn't this Mrs. Pei? Mr. Pei said a few days ago that you were going to stay at home to prepare for pregnancy and take care of the baby, and you would temporarily quit the entertainment circle. What's going on?"

"Could it be that she found out that she was played badly and couldn't get pregnant, so she came to film in despair?"

A few brothers laughed and joked, and someone asked him,

"What? Did you know each other before?"

Si Jinnian sneered, "More than knowing each other, this Mrs. Pei has been pursuing me for five years. If she hadn't drugged me, climbed into my bed, and forced me to be her boyfriend, how could I have waited until three years ago to marry Xinyao?"

I looked up in surprise. That wasn't the case.

But no one listened to my explanation.

Their sneers grew louder, even with the malicious gaze of someone in a higher position.

"I really can't believe Cheng Nian'an is such a slut!"

"No wonder Pei Gu is still picking up girls on the set even though he's married. Is it because he can't sleep when he sees this face and thinks of the disgusting things she did?"

"Didn't she claim to be preparing for pregnancy at home? It seems that she knew she couldn't get pregnant, so she came here dejectedly to act. What is she acting for? No matter how hard you act, you can't be better than Xinyao!"

Unpleasant and unbearable words kept coming.

I glared at Si Jinnian, "Watch your mouth, it was you who drugged me in the first place, don't confuse right and wrong here."

He approached me step by step, "Did I drug you?"

"Don't you see why you are so worthy? Apart from your face, what else is there to see? You can't even compare to Xinyao with a finger!"

My eyes turned red with shame and anger, and I tried to slap him, but Si Jinnian grabbed my wrist.

"Yo, you still want to hit me?"

His eyes fell unscrupulously under my collar and he spoke with a lewd smile.

"I haven't seen you for three years. I didn't expect Pei Shujing to raise you so beautifully. It really makes me want to be with you. Since you are eager to come over, why don't I give you some face..."

I widened my eyes, but Si Jinnian leaned over and kissed me like a bastard.

I was just about to pick up the stick next to me and hit him.

Before I could get the stick, I heard a scream at the door.

"Cheng Nian'an!"

"Why are you so haunted? You've been married for three years, and you're still thinking about seducing my husband?"

Following behind her was Pei Shujing, whose face was ashen.

Before I could react.

Lu Xinyao rushed over like a madman, tearing my hair desperately and scratching my face with her sharp nails.

"I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"

"You're already married but still restless. Why doesn't your husband take good care of you? Are you itchy down there again? Go find your husband when you get itchy. What's the point of seducing other men?"

Her mouth is dirtier than a toilet.

The curse words were simply unbearable to hear.

"It's not me!"

"Si Jinnian did it on purpose!"

Lu Xinyao didn't believe it at all and wanted to kill me with red eyes, while my husband Pei Shujing hugged Lu Xinyao with a distressed look on his face.

"Xinyao! Don't hurt yourself!"

He didn't even have me in his eyes.

After one round, Lu Xinyao was panting and was held in Si Jinnian's arms for comfort. She scratched my face so hard that one of her nails broke.

Pei Shujing stared at me coldly.

"What are you doing here on the set?"

"Didn't we agree to stay at home and prepare for pregnancy? If it weren't for you today, Xinyao wouldn't have been hurt at all!"

He called for the doctor from the crew to come and take a look with a hoarse voice. It was obviously a broken nail and it was nothing serious, not even the skin was broken.

But he ignored the fact that my face had been scratched several times.

There is only Lu Xinyao in his eyes.

Si Jinnian also hugged Lu Xinyao distressedly, "Wife, don't be angry, I wanted to kick her out a long time ago, I just wanted to vent my anger for you."

"But I didn't expect Cheng Nian'an to be so shameless. He wanted to seduce me in public at a place like the crew."

As he said this, he mocked Pei Shujing, "Boss Pei, didn't you let your wife eat enough at home?"

"She was so hungry, as if she had never seen a man before."

I couldn't bear it any longer, so I picked up the stick next to me and hit Si Jinnian on the head.

"Cheng Nian'an, you are crazy!"

Lu Xinyao screamed and hugged Si Jinnian, whose head was covered in blood, "Call the police, call the police quickly! She wants to kill someone!"

Pei Shujing looked at Si Jinnian in shock, but held me tightly.

"You still think you haven't made enough noise, come back with me!"

Pei Shujing locked me in the car, his face gloomy and he said nothing.

I don’t know how long this went on.

It wasn't until Lu Xinyao sent a message saying that Si Jinnian had been sent to the hospital and was fine that his expression relaxed.

"Nian'an, why did you suddenly come to the crew?"

"Didn't we agree that you should temporarily quit the entertainment circle during this period of time, stay at home and prepare for pregnancy, and have a child as soon as possible?"

I raised a cold smile, "You mean, I'm going to live my life alone?"

"Or should I find a wild man outside to have a baby?"

Pei Shujing paused, his expression changed, "What do you mean?"

I don't want to pretend anymore.

"Pei Shujing, you have been pretending to be affectionate in front of outsiders for three years. Don't let yourself be fooled in the end."

"Do you think I don't know that you put birth control pills in my breakfast every day?"

"Admit it, you don't want me to give birth to your child at all. From the beginning to the end, you were only doing this for Lu Xinyao."

Pei Shujing's expression suddenly changed. He clenched his fists and asked, "When did you know that?"

I pointed to my phone and said, "I installed surveillance."

Pei Shujing's expression changed several times, and finally fell on my face with a complicated look.

"Nian'an, don't misunderstand."

"I just, just..."

"Considering that the crew has been busy recently and I am too tired, I am afraid that the quality will not be good, so I did this. We will prepare for pregnancy after some time."

He came up and tried to hold my hand, which was his usual way of coaxing people.

But I coldly avoided him.

"Pei Shujing, didn't you say you loved me? Why didn't you protect me just now?"

"What are you doing when they say those nasty things?"

Pei Shujing lowered his head and smiled, as if he was laughing at himself.

"Is there something wrong with what they said?"

I stared at him with a pale face, as if I were looking at a stranger.

"I've told you that it was Si Jinnian who drugged me and took me to bed while I was unconscious. I didn't climb into his bed."

"It wasn't that I pestered him or forced him to be my boyfriend, but I wanted to call the police afterwards."

"Si Jinnian wanted to keep things quiet, so he confirmed our relationship."

I have explained this many times.

Every time Pei Shujing said he believed it, I knew he never believed it.

When I heard Si Jinnian say these words on the set just now, he looked at me with disdain and disgust.

If it weren't for Lu Xinyao, he might not have married me at all?

Well, now, that's all.

"I believe it, but Xinyao can't hear it. She will be sad if she knows."

It’s Xinyao again.

I sneered and pushed open the car door.

"Pei Shujing, from now on, we will go our separate ways. It's your business who you love. I don't care."

"But from now on, don't interfere with any of my decisions."

I got out of the car and walked straight forward, but soon I heard a door slamming behind me, and Pei Shujing ran out of the car to chase me.

"Cheng Nian'an, what do you mean?"

"Do you mean you want to return to the crew?"

He stopped me anxiously and said, "Your acting skills are indeed good. If you insist on competing for the leading role in the play "Flowing Years", Xinyao will not be able to compete with you."

"But I promised her that I would give her this play. No matter what you want to do, I will stop you from joining the crew."

Pei Shujing is as devout as a believer.

Lu Xinyao’s exclusive believer.

But I laughed as I listened, "Mr. Pei, you are really infatuated."

"But don't worry, I won't get involved in anything related to you, because I think——"

"nausea."

I pushed him away coldly and walked quickly in the cold wind.

Pei Shujing really didn't catch up.

Lu Xinyao was still in the hospital, and he must have been very worried about what was going on. Within two minutes, the car turned around and drove away in the direction of the City Center Hospital.

Five minutes later, Pei Shujing's message came.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now and shouldn't have said such harsh words to you."

"A lot has happened today, and you are tired. Go home early and have a good rest."

"I'm not going back tonight."

I just clicked delete.

Yes, I do have to go home tonight.

Deal with everything that needs to be dealt with.

Early the next morning, I looked at the empty room and went out with my suitcase.

This house belongs to me.

I dealt with them all, either throwing them away or giving them away.

The only thing I actually took with me was a suitcase.

Pei Shujing didn't come back, and I didn't plan to say goodbye to him in person. There was nothing to say.

I took a taxi and went straight to Director Zhang's home.

I just happened to meet him going out.

When he saw me, he didn't even raise his head, but I chased him tirelessly.

"Director Zhang, I know I caused trouble yesterday. I promise that this will never happen again. Please give me another chance."

Hearing this he sneered and turned back.

"Give you another chance?"

"Haven't you heard that I, Old Zhang, only have one chance?"

"I know, but there were some special circumstances yesterday."

Director Zhang took off his sunglasses, looked at me, and sighed, "A good actor must first take care of his own family affairs. If there are stumbling blocks everywhere, it is difficult to act well."

He glanced at the scars on my face, trying to wake me up.

I nodded heavily.

"I took care of it."

I showed him the divorce agreement.

I found this divorce agreement in Pei Shujing's study.

In order to show his loyalty to Lu Xinyao, he had already written and signed a divorce agreement.

He said, "Xinyao, as long as you are willing to look back at me, I can divorce you at any time."

He put the divorce agreement in a long-dusty express box.

I dug it out.

As long as I sign my name, the divorce agreement can take effect at any time.

"Director Zhang, I heard that you plan to shoot your new movie abroad. Can you take me with you? I can leave at any time."

He looked up unexpectedly, and when he saw that the divorce agreement did not seem to be fake, he suddenly smiled.

"Little girl, I didn't expect you to be so courageous. Are you sure you have thought it through?"

"Your husband Pei Shujing is quite capable in the industry. As long as you follow him, you won't have a hard life. Playing a good role is just a matter of a word. What's more, after all, young couples are bound to quarrel. They quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. They may divorce today and make up tomorrow."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

I breathed a sigh of relief, "Our marriage was originally a misunderstanding, and yesterday I saw everything clearly. I have already handed this divorce agreement to the lawyer, and it will take effect immediately. I am now single."

"From now on, I will have the final say on what kind of drama I want to act in."

No one can tell me what to do under any name anymore.

Director Zhang smiled.

"You are a teachable young man. If that's the case, then you can go with our crew. We will set off tomorrow."

I happily agreed.

I know that Director Zhang really sees that I have great potential.

He said he admired me.

They said that I could stay calm even when playing a supporting role and not be disrupted by the traffic.

This is the director I’ve always wanted to follow.

That night, I checked in at the hotel with my suitcase. Just as I entered the room, my cell phone rang.

It was Pei Shujing calling.

I didn't even look at it and pressed reject.

He called me again, so I simply blocked him, turned off my phone, and had a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, when I opened my phone to check my schedule, I was greeted by a pile of unread messages that I couldn't even swipe through.

They were all sent by Pei Shujing.

"Nian'an, where have you been?"

"You're not home, when will you be back?"

"Answer me, speak, don't make me anxious!"

"Why don't you answer the phone..."

I deleted all of them with an expressionless face, and before boarding the plane, I applied for a new phone card.

The contact information was only given to Director Zhang and colleagues in the crew.

As for the others.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Director Zhang is a very serious and responsible person. He pays attention to meticulousness and perfection both in his personal life and in filming.

During the three months of filming on the set, I was completely immersed.

I also found my true self again.

Eight years ago, I decided that my lifelong dream was to become an excellent actor, and I have been working hard ever since.

But after I married Pei Shujing, he imprisoned me in the circle of family in the name of love.

He hyped up his love and pampering for his wife in front of reporters and the media.

Press releases were sent everywhere saying that a large amount of resources would be allocated to me.

In fact, the scripts given to me were all some bad scripts that Lu Xinyao rejected because they were ugly.

On the day of wrapping, I was having a great time with my colleagues when suddenly a helicopter landed in front of the crew’s door.

"Nian'an, it seems like he's here to look for you!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

I looked up and saw Pei Shujing, who was striding towards me in a black windbreaker and looked anxious.

Three months no see.

He looked thinner overall.

It should be Lu Xinyao who made him worry, but what does that have to do with me.

But the next second, he suddenly hugged me with red eyes.

"Nian'an, you made me look for you for such a long time. Why did you just leave without saying a word? Do you know how worried I was?"

I avoided him politely and distantly, smiling politely.

"Mr. Pei, you may have found the wrong person."

The person he likes is Lu Xinyao.

Even if you were looking for someone, you should have gone to the crew or Si Jinnian's home instead of coming here to find me.

Pei Shujing shook his head repeatedly, "I'm just looking for you!"

"Nian'an, I know I was wrong. During the three months since you left, I realized how miserable my life was."

"Do you remember that the day you left was the third anniversary of our wedding? The gift you bought had already arrived, but you disappeared."

As he spoke, he carefully rolled up his sleeves, revealing the watch on his wrist.

"You see, I wear it all the time."

But I gave him a cold look, feeling calm and collected.

It was when I chose this watch for him that I discovered his secret, the secret behind why he married me and the deep affection he created.

Now that I think about it, I should be thankful for this watch.

"Mr. Pei, hasn't your lawyer told you yet that we are divorced?"

Pei Shujing stood there in a daze, his whole body stiff, shaking and shaking his head.

"No, we are not divorced!"

"That divorce agreement doesn't count at all!"

How come it doesn't count?

Before signing, I consulted a lawyer and he said it was legally binding, so I signed it.

Otherwise, I would definitely find a way to get Pei Shujing to sign before leaving.

I had already made up my mind to divorce.

"Go ahead and find your Lu Xinyao. Whether she loves you or not has nothing to do with me. Please don't disturb my life anymore."

I know that he secretly gave Lu Xinyao shares and gave her all the best things.

I never thought of arguing with her.

What is mine is destined to be mine.

If it’s not mine, I won’t care about it for a single cent.

Including Pei Shujing's popular roles, since he has decided to give them all to Lu Xinyao, I won't take any of them.

The role I played was that of a country woman, and I took the route of a powerful actress. Even though it doesn't look so glamorous, I like it.

In the first week of the new drama’s airing, my drama topped the screen charts.

I also became the most popular actress.

My old fans cheered for me in the comment section, "God helps those who work hard! Finally, my favorite actress is noticed!"

"I said that marriage has delayed her, and she should have divorced earlier. Cheng Nian'an is like the queen who has returned, she deserves all this!"

"I saw the true power of women. She is amazing and has a bright future!"

Just two years.

I became a well-deserved winner of three gold awards and received numerous awards both at home and abroad.

The former movie queen Lu Xinyao was completely banned a long time ago due to the scandal of sleeping with the director.

Her old company, Jinnian, was also revealed to be a fake actor.

The acting was not good, so they had to use more than a dozen stand-ins for one episode.

In the end, the scandal of him sleeping with his fans broke out, and his image collapsed severely.

Seeing how successful I am now, Si Jinnian and Lu Xinyao are so jealous that their teeth are itching.

They even went so far as to hire internet trolls to spread rumors online.

"Cheng Nian'an's film queen status was simply earned through sleeping with others. Everyone knew about it back then. She shamelessly took drugs and had sex with others when she was in college. Many people knew about it at the time!"

"That's right, she was the one who interfered in other people's relationships and became the mistress. If it weren't for her, they would have been married a long time ago. I heard Queen Lu talk about this at the time!"

"Yes, and on her wedding day, the groom ran away. Who would want such a slutty woman?"

"The Internet really has no memory. Aren't these things very clear? No one mentioned Cheng Nian'an's fame!"

I watched the show coldly. My agent just called and asked me if I wanted a public relations job.

The phone hasn't been hung up yet.

Suddenly, those remarks disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It seems like there is an invisible hand manipulating things in secret.

In just over ten minutes, the comments in the comment section suddenly reversed 180 degrees.

"What happened back then was all a misunderstanding!"

"Cheng Nian'an was simply framed. She didn't do anything like that. Someone is deliberately throwing dirty water on her!"

Pieces of evidence emerged one after another.

There was even a small account that pinned the comment.

"If anyone dares to spread rumors again, I will ask lawyers to collect evidence at any time. Everyone must be responsible for their own words."

I guessed it after taking a look at the IP address. It was Pei Shujing.

He came to me two days ago and begged me to remarry him.

He knelt in front of me with bloodshot eyes, "Nian'an, I was so wrong at first, I mistook pearls for fish eyes."

"I can see clearly now that Lu Xinyao is a vicious woman. It's just the filter from college and the obsession of not being able to get her that are causing trouble."

"It's all my fault that I didn't cherish you well. Can you give me another chance?"

"Just once, okay?"

I refused with a sneer.

"Pei Shujing, a broken mirror cannot be mended. I think you should understand this truth."

"Besides, my fans are right. After leaving this bad marriage and this bad man, my life has just begun."

It took me eight years to have a relationship and get married.

But she was badly injured by the two men.

In that case, I don’t plan to get involved in this mess again in my next life.

Just be yourself, focus on your acting skills, and bring good works to everyone.

This is the wonderful life I should live.
