Chapter 1

"The 32nd Golden Laurel Awards came to an end last night after a fierce competition, and Lisa Manoban won 'Best Actress' for her performance in 'Wild Duck's Homecoming.'"

"This year's Golden Laurel Awards... 'Little Jennie'  Lisa Manoban won the award! It was well deserved!"

"The youngest actress of the Golden Laurel: Jennie Kim and Lisa Manoban have several similarities!"

"A look back at the classics: Jennie Kim's Golden Laurel Award-winning moments, and whether her successor, 'Little Jennie' Lisa Manoban, can she follow her footsteps?"

Lisa sat in the back seat of the car, holding a tablet in one hand, and tapping her knee with the index finger of the other.

Her eyelids drooped slightly, reading the news one by one, and seeing the headlines with her and Jennie's names together. 

No one noticed, but she hesitated to peel her eyes away for just a second. Her expression was indiscernible between happiness and anger.

Last night's Golden Laurel Awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion, and Lisa was awarded "Best Actress." Her fame rose tremendously.

The internet had inexplicably seen a lot of headlines of the same sort, but no one ever linked Lisa and Jennie together before.

The two of them were not even close to each other in terms of appearance, experience, or achievements.

Jennie Kim, a child of the wilderness without any professional training in acting, was discovered by talent scouts at 18 years old.

Upon her first step into the acting world, she starred in several TV series that were popular from the North to the South. But she had a nickname—"vase"—besides being beautiful, she was useless. 

Once during an interview, the reporter asked her about her aspirations, and the young Jennie responded, saying she wanted to become a renowned movie star. The audience laughed at her answer.

And so she became this "vase." When she turned 21, she met another talent scout, and suddenly made rapid improvement.

This was the turning point of her career—going from a mere "vase" to an actress who swept most of the awards at major ceremonies both at home and from abroad.

She was only 29 years old and was already the most awarded actress in the country's cinema to date, becoming an incomparable legend in the history of contemporary cinema.

Every actress wanted to be as successful as Jennie, but no actress wanted to have a reputation as notorious as hers—a chaotic private life, having countless lovers no matter their gender.

So many that her achievements were overlooked and people only remembered her frivolousness.

Oh, and that damned face.

Long wavy hair, bright and misty eyes, and slightly-opened red lips. Jennie was fully aware of her natural beauty, and her every move was full of passion.

From one look, anyone could see that this was not an innocent woman! 

Her sex appeal burned with lust! 

Her skills were all wasted with her affairs!

She and Lisa were two extremes at opposing ends. In the film industry, Lisa was almost too "clean."

While still studying in school, she worked with a well-known director in her first film, which was later nominated for awards. 

Since everything went smoothly, she had already won "Best Actress" before her graduation. There were no scandals to her name, not even small ones.
