Kim Jennie laid on the big sofa lazily, resting her long legs on the table as she scrolled unenthusiastically through Instagram comments.

[Slut, you'll have retribution for scheming against my baby!!]

[Hope that your family will be ruined by an interloper and that you will die alone.]"

[Scheming b*tch, leave the entertainment industry!]

The Instagram post from two hours ago had since accumulated over six thousand replies, largely unkind.

Assistant Yoo Daisy walked to her side and placed the fresh watermelon juice in front of her. "Jennie, why are you trawling through the comments again?"

Jennie didn't raise a brow, "How could I not look at fans' comments?"

"..." Daisy looked at her expression of indifference with respect. "I was afraid that you would be affected emotionally..."

Jennie said, "They're cursing the character, not me."

These, over six thousand comments, were not directed at Jennie, the actress. Instead they were explicitly aimed at the vile second female lead Kim Sohye, from the trending imperial-harem show, the character she was playing.

This galled Daisy. "Yes, but it's just a character in a TV show. How could they rant about it on your Instagram? Don't they understand the nature of acting?"

Jennie glanced at the new personal assistant of hers, who had only been around for almost three months, and said calmly, "Don't take it seriously, just treat these comments as praise."

"Praise?"

Jennie said, "Yeah, their hatred reflects my acting prowess."

"..." Hmm? That seemed to make sense.

Jennie smiled silently. Picking up the glass of watermelon juice, she took a sip.

Jennie was indeed an oddity of the entertainment industry. She might not be famous, but she was more well-known and recognized than certain A-list actresses. If you say that she's famous -it wasn't entirely true either, given that she had never acted as a female lead.

The first show she appeared in was a big banner production -from the directors to the actors, every single person was from the top of the entertainment industry's food chain -except for Jennie, the second female lead.

She played an innocent little white lotus turned villainous. For years after the episode in which her innocence was lost, her Instagram had been overwhelmed by haters. In the aftermath of that show, she gained notoriety overnight, overshadowing the show itself.

As an inexperienced rookie, she shouldn't have been part of such a colossal production, yet the director Bae Irene resisted the objections and pushed on with her.

Irene had taken just one look at her before rushing forward to pat her on the shoulder and tell her that she had to be the character.

Startled and confused, Jennie had asked, "Why?"

Irene smiled gently at her, "Your face leads people to easily believe you're both evil and hateful."

"......"

Jennie wasn't ugly. One could even argue that she was really pretty -thick eyelashes, slanted oval eyes that resembled sloe-eyed beauties, a small and high nose, lips that were full rather than big... It was tough trying to be ugly with such perfect features. She resembled the legendary 'aggressive beauty'.

Besides, she wasn't just a pretty face. She had a pretty elegant figure too.

Jennie was a meter and sixty-three cm tall without shoes, just four to five cm shorter than the most popular supermodels in the country. She had perfect proportions too -long legs, thin waist and slender neck. Most importantly, she had bountiful breasts.
