14 Someone Else's Wrath

Ever since she could remember, Hui Yin had always wanted to become an actress. She loved the idea of donning several personalities at once, like a game of hide and seek.

Before Hui Yin had married Lu Shen, she was a minor actress at CY Entertainment, but the only accomplishment in her whole career had been acting out side characters and extras that the audience would easily forget. Because her salary from being a small-time actress was not enough considering her usual roles, Hui Yin also did menial chores around the agency, anything that would give her enough money to pay the rent and buy food. However, sometimes when she was truly down in her luck, Hui Yin had to resort eating steamed buns and dumplings for 7 yuan everyday, which made her constantly light-headed with hunger.

It was not that Hui Yin didn't have the ability to rise to the top and become a famous actress—in fact, she could act better than most A-list celebrities. Even when she was only given a few lines to say, Hui Yin practiced hours just to make it perfect. Aside from her talent and hard effort, with Hui Yin's peerless beauty, she was someone that you could simply not ignore.

She had languished for all those years simply because she had the bad fortune to be the recipient of someone else's wrath—Fei Hong, the actress holding the title of No. 1 Most Popular Female Artiste in the industry. Not only had Fei Hong been awarded with the Audience's Choice for Best Actress, her fanbase was one of the largest in the country. Since they were training in the same agency, and considering how much control Fei Hong had in CY since she was their major source of profit, it could only be called as nothing short of miraculous that Hui Yin hadn't been kicked out yet.

Of course, this was only because Hui Yin's manager was very capable. Otherwise Hui Yin would have been left in the streets after her contract had expired, although her situation right now wasn't that much better. With the pay for her rent coming up next month, Hui Yin was already considering taking another part-time job to cover up the expenses.

But this difficulty was nothing to Hui Yin. She was almost a slave in her past life after all. Working hard was not a problem! It could even give her an excuse to avoid Lu Shen.

With that conviction in her mind, Hui Yin finished her bath and changed into a semi-formal attire. She quickly typed out a resumè and went out out of the apartment, locking the door behind her.

A few blocks away, a black Maybach Exelero quietly followed her.
