Chapter 1: A Mediocre Opening

  "Ah..."

  "Come... come... someone! There's a dead person here!!!"

  In the bedroom of a luxurious penthouse apartment, a slender girl lay on the carpet covered in blood. Her originally pretty face was also filled with shock.

  A beautiful girl who suddenly opened the door and came in next to her, when she saw the girl lying on the ground with blood all over her body in the bedroom, was suddenly filled with shock and shouted loudly!

  "What's going on... what's going on... how could someone suddenly die here?!"

  The girl saw everything in front of her, terrified and at a loss, suddenly turned her head to see the landline phone next to the water bed, then rushed over. While trembling all over, she dialed the emergency number.

  "Hello... hello! Is this the police department? There's been a death here!"

  “……”

  "Alright, let's go!"

  The unseen side of the bedroom, inside the photography studio, the director sitting next to the camera suddenly shouted and clapped his hands repeatedly.

  "Lam Sze-chit is indeed the number one of the Four Little Flowers Dan, haha, this play was filmed too perfectly!"

  The detective's suspenseful scene had just passed, and the director and makeup artist rushed over to Lin Shi-chen, the female lead, praising her acting skills.

  Chen Yixuan, who was playing the role of a girl who had committed suicide and was covered in blood, sat up from the ground and wiped away the bloodstains on her body.

  Seeing the director next to her only caring about and showing concern for the female lead Lin Shichen, Chen Yixuan let out a faint sigh. Even with her own dedicated efforts in acting, she still couldn't get the director's attention and recognition.

  Could it be...

  Chen Yixuan turned her head and looked at the people surrounding the superstar Lin Shicheng.

  Is it really that I don't have what it takes to be a star?

  I also want to work hard to become an excellent artist like Lin Shicheng, a powerful and talented artist!

  “……”

  Chen Yixuan wiped the bloodstains off her body and stood up. Her part was over, although it was only a short shot of less than a minute, but after all, Lu Yu still made the most of this rare opportunity to cooperate with the big star and gave herself a good show, she couldn't disappoint Lu Yu's expectations.

  The clean-cut man with golden-rimmed glasses standing beside Chen Yixuan pushed his glasses up and looked at Chen Yixuan, who was gazing at Lin Shichen with a mixture of longing and admiration. Subconsciously, Lu Yu put his hand into the pocket of his suit and touched a stiff piece of paper.

  ……

  "Hey?! Take me somewhere I can become a super popular star?!"

  "That's basically it!"

  On the way back in the car, Lu Yu nodded at Chen Yixuan and then turned his head to look at her, adjusting his glasses.

  "Xuan, this is a crucial piece of information that I've worked extremely hard to obtain. Tonight, at the Emperor Hotel's exclusive private banquet for the wealthy elite, you must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

  "I always feel like something's off..."

  Although Lu Yu kept cheering Chen Yixuan up, Chen Yixuan still couldn't get into the spirit of things.

  Thinking of Lin Shichen's dazzling appearance just now, Chen Yixuan suddenly felt a little inferior. Can she really become a super popular and excellent star like Lin Shichen?

  A week ago, on Sunday afternoon, Chen Yixuan and her friends were bumped into by Lu Yu on their way back from shopping.

  In the moment when Chen Yixuan and Lu Yu brushed past each other, Lu Yu was stunned by Chen Yixuan's clear and clean smile. Without hesitation for a second, Lu Yu immediately turned back to grab Chen Yixuan who looked at him with a curious expression.

  "I want you to become a superstar!"

  "Big... star?"

  Lu Yu turned his head to look out the window, thinking about what had happened a week ago when he first met Chen Yi Xuan. Lu Yu still didn't regret his choice up until now. After all, this was just the beginning.

  With her own intuition, Chen Yixuan can definitely become a good artist, and as Chen Yixuan's agent, I'm sure there won't be any problem!

  Lu Yu lowered his head and looked at the business card in his hand, with an unreadable expression on his delicate face.

  "By the grass..."

  "Huh?"

  Chen Yixuan turned her head and looked at Lu Yu, who was usually cheerful but now somewhat silent, curiously tilting her head to one side.

  "What's wrong? Didn't today's shoot go smoothly? Although he was just an extra, Lu Yu seemed to be in a bad mood."

  "Yǐ xuān, wèn nǐ gè hěn yán sù de wèn tí."

  Translation: "Seriously, I'm going to ask you a very serious question."

  "Huh?"

  Lu Yu's sudden seriousness made Chen Yi Xuan even more puzzled. What was wrong with Lu Yu today? This was not like the usual Lu Yu who always joked about himself and had a lecherous appearance as an agent.

  "You're still a virgin..."

  "Huh? What?!"

  Habitually nodding her head, Chen Yixuan was taken aback for a moment, and then her small face immediately turned bright red.

  "Lu Yu, what are you thinking?!"

  "Ah, it's getting a bit tricky now."

  Lu Yu heard Chen Yixuan's answer, and didn't pay attention to the little cat that was quickly grooming itself in the car. He just muttered a sentence to himself, propping his chin on his hand as he gazed out the window.

  "How embarrassing!"

  Chen Yixuan suddenly had an urge to punch Lu Yu, the lecherous agent in front of her. How dare he ask her such a question!

  Is it still embarrassing that I'm a virgin now? Although I've already passed the age of being a pure girl and am a 24-year-old little woman.

  However, Chen Yixuan's road to romance was particularly bumpy.

  The first love was lost due to the boyfriend moving away from the city. The second university romance ended on the boyfriend's birthday, when he broke up with me in front of everyone and started dating my best friend from college.

  It wasn't until then that Chen Yixuan knew why she had to guard against fire, theft and her best friend!

  Repeated failures in love have made Chen Yixuan, who is weak and sensitive by nature, become even more stubborn.

  Damn it! Isn't it just love? I won't become Lin Daiyu just because of one or two failed loves. At worst, I'll never fall in love again this lifetime!

  Then...

  A bumpy childhood, a bumpy student career, until now Lu Yu's road to stardom has been rough. Chen Yi Xuan's view on love has become especially coarse.

  Of course, as for the matter of losing her virginity, it naturally did not happen either.

  My goodness! I don't even have a boyfriend yet!

  "Crack!"

  "We're here, Xuan, you can get off now."

  Huh?

  The car stopped, Chen Yixuan turned her head and looked at the five-star luxury hotel in front of her, Emperor Hotel, slightly stunned.

  As for this hotel, Chen Yixuan was not unfamiliar with it. It was precisely because she knew the strengths of Emperor Hao that she was even more surprised!

  Even if someone is very rich, they won't be allowed to enter casually. They must have an invitation letter from the Emperor Group's CEO to get in. It's more like a private club for the Emperor Group's CEO rather than a luxury hotel.

  But...

  "Lu Yu, why did we come here?"

  "The invitation was hard-won after much effort, so you must muster up your energy and work hard for me!"

  "Wow!"

  At the entrance of the Emperor Hotel, Lu Yu suddenly patted Chen Yixuan's back hard, trying to encourage her. Chen Yixuan looked at Lu Yu with a slightly sinister smile on his face and suddenly had a suspicious look on her face.

  What is Lu Yu actually doing?

  "Here, there's only one invitation, I won't be able to get in, you'd better make a good impression for me!"

  "What's up?"

  Chen Yixuan took the invitation letter from Lu Yu's hand, on which her own name Chen Yixuan was written in bold letters. The signature on the invitation was a name she had never heard of: Beidang Yaochuan.

  Hokuto Yoichiro? Who is this man?

  When Chen Yixuan looked up from the invitation and returned to Lu Yu's face, she found that Lu Yu had already slightly bent down and leaned in close to her, as if he was about to kiss her.

  "Pervert agent, stop right there!"

  Fortunately, Chen Yixuan hid in time, otherwise, she would have been taken advantage of by the man in front of her again.

  "Yixuan, don't go, let's come again tomorrow, just accompany me well today. This charming broker is willing to sacrifice his life to accompany you for a night, how about it? Although I'm at a loss, but for you, it's worth it...... Hey! Yixuan! Don't leave in such a hurry! I still have things to tell you!"

  Ling Yu came back to his senses from his self-absorption, only to find that the space around him was already empty. Chen Yixuan had long taken the invitation letter and walked in.

  "Alas... I really don't know if Xuan can digest it."

  Lu Yu put away his playful smile and turned his head to gaze at the majestic and luxurious Emperor Hotel in front of him.

  "It's a bit of a pity..."

  That invitation letter with Beidong Yaochuan's name on it was indeed obtained by Lu Yu after putting in some effort. Those who can enter the Emperor Hao are naturally not ordinary people, at least they are all wealthy tycoons worth hundreds of millions.

  This way, Chen Yixuan can take advantage of the influential people to gain fame. Although this is a cliché tactic, for Chen Yixuan's future path to success, Lu Yu hesitated for a long time before deciding to hand over the invitation card to her.

  Although I still have some reluctance in my heart towards Chen Yixuan, this is also an unavoidable thing.

  I am now Chen Yixuan's agent, no matter what, no matter what means, I must make Chen Yixuan become an excellent star artist!

  Lu Yu took a last look at Chen Yixuan who had already gone in and then returned to his own car to wait.

  "This is ridiculous! When will this pervert Lu Yu stop making a fool of himself!"

  To avoid being taken advantage of again by that sly broker, Chen Yixuan didn't think twice and directly entered the Emperor Hotel with the invitation card.

  Under the magnificent golden dome, beneath the crystal chandelier, Chen Yixuan came to a stop.

  Right, I forgot to ask Lu Yu where he should go that would be suitable for him. Also, is going to the Emperor Hotel to meet this man named Bei Tang Yaochuan or to have him do something?
