Acting Spoiled and Arrogant [Rebirth]

Synopsis

In her previous life, Zuo Xian turned her whole world upside down. She defied her family, rejected an arranged marriage to someone she had known since childhood, and stepped away from the spotlight for three years. Working behind the scenes, she poured all her savings into building another woman’s career.

But no one could have predicted that the moment Lin Weiqi became a star, she would immediately betray Zuo Xian. The once-celebrated Best Actress faded into obscurity and eventually left the entertainment industry in despair.

Then came a sudden car accident. When Zuo Xian opened her eyes, she found herself transported back in time—to the night before she was supposed to break off her engagement with Lu Xingxian.

Fate has a strange sense of humor.

She has returned, after all.

Zuo Xian reappears on screen! Major productions! Trending hashtags! Front-page entertainment news! It all leads to one chorus of online mockery:

Troll 1: “Zuo Xian must be someone’s sugar baby!”

Troll 2: “There’s definitely something shady about the director!”

Troll 3: “How much did she pay the reporters for that headline?”

But not long after, the legendary diva Lu Xingxian—who had been retired from the public eye for years—posted a photo on Weibo with the caption: “Please look after me for the rest of our lives.”

It was a marriage certificate photo. And the person in the picture was none other than Zuo Xian.

Troll 1: “That photo has to be Photoshopped!”

Troll 2: “Little Star’s account must have been hacked!”

Troll 3: “Little Star is definitely being blackmailed!”

Half an hour later, Zuo Xian reposted the message, adding: “Though I took the wrong path before, I have finally met the right person. With you for the rest of my life—please look after me.”

The entire internet exploded instantly.

At its heart, this is a story about taking the wrong path in a past life, only to find the right person in this one.

To meet Zuo Xian, Lu Xingxian reassembled her long-disbanded team. Just as everything was settled and she was about to leave, a phone call came. Stepping alone into a quiet room, she heard a familiar voice on the other end say, “Axian, I can’t marry you.”

Her eyes slightly reddened, but her expression calm, Lu Xingxian replied, “Okay.”

“I will hide this love in my heart. As long as you’re happy, that’s enough.”
