After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Even More Thrilling Than Last Time Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Even More Thrilling Than Last Time “#ShenYanAmazingActing” was sent to the top of the trending searches, appending a “Hot” tag at the end.

The heat continued to rise.

“Stratagem Sage” the show was a massive hit.

Mu Jincheng, the male lead, also received another wave of attention due to his exposure as a wealthy heir, and his acting was decent, praising him up to the trending searches right next to Shen Yan’s.

Other characters in the drama were also turned into funny or deeply meaningful short videos by netizens, which attracted even more viewers when shared.

On the contrary, as the female lead, the expectations for Chu Jinghe were naturally higher, and failing to meet the audience’s expectations, with Shen Yan’s performance for comparison, criticisms about Chu Jinghe’s acting skills grew louder.

The character of Shen Yan outshone both the female lead and the secondary female lead, making a more memorable impression on the viewers.

From her very appearance, she became a profound highlight in people’s hearts.

Despite Shen Yan’s character deliberately being made less attractive, her naturally stunning beauty was undeniable.

Chu Jinghe tried to pay for her own trending search, but couldn’t manage to get it to take off.

The female lead who should’ve been the focus was now being doubted and neglected; how could Chu Jinghe, who wanted to rise to fame through this show, tolerate this?

“Crash.”

Chu Jinghe’s eyes reddened as she swept the teaware beside her to the ground with a swipe, her face ugly with rage and her chest heaving violently.

She was the female lead and yet she couldn’t become popular, but instead, Shen Yan, the third female lead did—how unfair!

This was simply not supposed to happen; the image that flashed in her mind did not end like this—Shen Yan was supposed to be all looks and no talent, an eighteenth-tier actress, not the sensation she had become.

And then came something that twisted Chu Jinghe’s face with rage and filled her eyes with hatred.

She had been passed over for the female lead in “Black Shadow”!

Right afterwards, her agent dropped another bombshell, “Director Chen gave the female lead of ‘Black Shadow’ directly to Shen Yan.”

“Snap!”

Chu Jinghe’s face turned pale with anger.

She knocked a lipstick off the table.

The female lead role was fixed for Shen Yan, which sounded utterly ridiculous.

“How could it be Shen Yan, with that little talent of hers, could there really be no other trickery?” Chu Jinghe couldn’t accept such an outcome, she didn’t want to lose to anyone, especially not to Shen Yan.

In her mind, she should be the one stepping on Shen Yan, not the other way around!

Agent Zhong Chi massaged his browbone with a weary expression, “There’s no foul play involved, everyone in the circle knows what kind of person Director Chen is. Don’t spread such talk outside, lest you offend people.”

Chu Jinghe stiffened.

After hearing Shen Yan was chosen as the female lead, she had been uneasy and tense.

Where did it all go wrong? She had acted according to the process in her mind, and she had indeed secured the role from Director Chen.

Now it had been snatched away by Shen Yan; she was extremely resentful.

It must be some trick Shen Yan used to snatch the role, perhaps holding some leverage over Director Chen, or maybe Shen Yan’s backers put pressure on Director Chen.

Chu Jinghe thought of many possibilities, but refused to admit that Shen Yan had earned the role with her talent.

Her agent, seeing her state, said firmly, “Since you and Young Master Mu announced your relationship, your popularity has been declining. Don’t take this missed role too seriously. There are other good scripts we can consider.”

In her heart, Chu Jinghe screamed: She wanted that female lead role!

The agent’s words were a warning to Chu Jinghe, not to stir up trouble!

Especially not to rush into anything involving Shen Yan; it wouldn’t benefit her.

With so many things happening one after another, agent Zhong Chi had long placed Shen Yan among the daunting figures to avoid.

So, he didn’t want Chu Jinghe going near this taboo.

Shen Yan also saw her own trending search and received a phone call from the “Black Shadow” production team, as well as the script delivered to Liu Su’s place.

Upon receiving the script, Shen Yan began to flip through it before asking about the male lead, “Who’s the male lead in this movie?”

Liu Su was taken aback, slapped his forehead, “I forgot to ask about that. Director Chen has already cast all the important roles, and we need to join the crew in a couple of days. Should I mention it to Mr. Qi?”

While continuing to flip through the script, Shen Yan said, “I’ll speak to Mr. Qi myself tonight.”

Liu Su saw Shen Yan fully immersed in the script, opened his mouth to say something but then swallowed his words.

After resting that day, Qi Si was busy to the point of vanishing from sight.

“Right,” Shen Yan remembered something, looked up at Liu Su, “Uncle Liu, have there been any deposits into my account recently?”

She had taken the card, but she still needed to ask if there had been any deposits into her card.

Liu Su asked, “Do you need money?”

“Yeah, I need a lot of money right now,” Shen Yan wanted to send some warmth to the Guard Post, which would cost a substantial sum.

Liu Su said with some confusion, “Didn’t Mr. Qi give you a supplementary card?”

“Supplementary card?” Shen Yan was taken aback, “No.”

Liu Su frowned, “That’s strange. Even before you registered your marriage, Mr. Qi had me transfer some liquid assets to your name, and you also have a card with the same spending limit as Mr. Qi’s. He probably forgot to give it to you. I’ll ask him right now…”

“Don’t,” Shen Yan stopped him, “I can earn the money myself.”

Liu Su disagreed, “You guys didn’t even have a wedding, and there’s been no property certification done. If neither family is prepared, it’s really improper.”

Shen Yan believed the Shen Family would also have prepared a substantial dowry, but she had already taken over the body of the original host and couldn’t be too greedy.

If it were just entering the world of a book, that would be one thing, but now that she had confirmed it was still the original world, she felt as though she was stealing someone else’s life.

Everything she was enjoying now should have belonged to someone else.

Sometimes she would wonder, if she hadn’t forcefully intruded, would the original host’s life really have ended as tragically as those jumbled memories suggested.

Qi Si returned home very late.

Shen Yan had been asleep for two hours when he finally arrived.

Hearing a noise, Shen Yan reached for her phone to check the time—it was past two in the morning…

He must be incredibly busy.

Yawning, Shen Yan got out of bed, opened the door, and went outside.

It was pitch dark outside; Qi Si’s return hadn’t disturbed anyone but her.

Shen Yan stood in front of Qi Si’s door, about to knock, when she noticed it wasn’t closed properly, probably thinking no one would pass by at this hour, so there was no need to secure it.

Besides, it was just her and Qi Si living on this floor, so there was no need for precautions.

“Mr. Qi?”

Shen Yan pushed the door open a bit and heard the sound of water splashing from inside, pausing in surprise.

Just as she was about to retreat, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Qi Si’s athletic figure, chilled to the core, appeared abruptly before Shen Yan.

Water dripped from Qi Si’s hair and body, his eyes cold and intense. As he recognized the intruder as Shen Yan, the aggressive chill emanating from him slowly retracted.

Shen Yan blinked, her gaze drifted downwards, landing on the hastily tied, wet towel. Without knowing why, she turned around and headed out, “I’ll come back later.”

Shen Yan, with her heartbeat racing, closed the door for Qi Si and took deep, steadying breaths.

That image just now… was way too damn seductive and sexy!!

Shen Yan raised her hand to pat her heated cheeks and tossed the inappropriate scenes from her mind.

This was even more thrilling than the last time!
