nIn half an hour, she walked into a stylish hair salon. Two hours later, she saw a strange, but familiar face of herself in the mirror. She had fluffy shoulder-length hair, and the side-swept bangs perfectly emphasized her pretty, delicate face. She had snow-white skin, moisturized full lips, a beautifully shaped nose, and a pair of large and bright eyes. She looked like a mixed-race girl. Her face was stunning.

nHer neck was slender, and her collar bones were perfectly shaped.

nThe stylist from the salon sighed and said to her, “You don’t wear makeup, do you? You’re really a natural beauty.”

nLuosang gave a faint smile.

nShe might be a natural beauty, but so what? Now she needed to hide her name. In the past year, she had to make herself look plain, but now, it was time to show her beauty again.

nAfter leaving the salon, she took the bus directly to Ximei College of Communication. She waited for a while before the faculty building, then Professor Ma, who was in his fifties, showed up. He gazed at Luosang for a short while, then sighed, “Luosang, you’re so pretty. It’s such a waste for you to be a dubber instead of an actress.”

n“Professor Ma, you know that my grandma used to be a famous dubbing artist. She has dubbed many films from Hollywood and Europe. I’ve always admired my Grandma, and hope that I can become an outstanding dubber like her. That is also my father’s wish,” said Luosang sincerely, “And it’s not so easy to become an actress now. The industry is too complicated. Without backgrounds or connections, what actress can truly build a career if she doesn’t want to play by these ‘unspoken rules’?”

n“You’re right though,” Professor Ma sighed and continued, “What happened to your father… it made me sad. He dedicated his life to education and art, but in the end, fell into disrepute.”

n“Sooner or later, I will clear my father’s name,” said Luosang, her eyes showing pain and determination.

n“Take things easy, don’t stress yourself out,” Professor Ma patted on her shoulder and said, “I’ve told the college staff about your enrollment. But, you shouldn’t let the others know that your name is Xu Luosang. Many people from film-television industry know your name. But the good thing is, dubbers work behind the screen, so not many people have seen your face. From now on, you’ll have a fresh start with your new name: Luo Sang. Let’s go, I’ll go through the admissions procedure with you, and take you to your dorm.”

nLuosang nodded.

nThe admissions procedure was a little complicated, so it was already five o’clock in the afternoon when she finished it.

nTo avoid arousing suspicion, Professor Ma didn’t accompany her to the dorm. Instead, she went to the dorm herself.

nIt was a four-room dormitory. She was a transfer student, so three students were already living in the dorm when she arrived. All three of them gave a little start when they saw Luosang.

n“Nice to meet you. My name is Luo Sang. I’m a new student from the broadcasting major,” said Luosang while looking at her roommates up and down.

nAs art students, all three girls were quite pretty.

nA sweet-looking girl with her hair up in a bun responded first, “Welcome, welcome, my name is Tang Ning, and I’m from the same major as you. These two are from the music major, their names are Ye Chuen and Yan Su.”

n“Luo Sang, your name is so familiar,” a girl named Ye Chun raised her brows while painting her nails, and said, “I remember there used to be a dubber named Xu Luosang. She was amazing.”

n“Ah, I’ve heard about her as well, but Xu isn’t my last name, Luo is,” Luosang smiled.

n“But it’s said that Xu Luosang has quit dubbing, ” said Tang Ning smilingly, “I guess she’s too ashamed to continue working as a dubber. After all that happened in her family. It’s a shame though, because I heard that she’s a genius dubber. She can make ten different voices, speaks many different languages, and apparently her voice was so incredibly beautiful, that a musician once wanted to make a record with her.”
