She finally made a soft sound upon facing the many mics aimed at her by the various media orgs.

“Since that incident, I’ve maintained my silence all along. I admit that I was weak. I didn’t think of myself as a strong person, so I chose to retreat when bullied by the higher orders and to leave this world without hesitation… but I’ve woken up now. I want to fight for my right without fear: Please return my love to me!”

‘Please return my love to me!’

Newcomer, Ji Yan, faces the media for the first time, accusing the entertainment industry of shady practices.

“I’ve always loved acting since I was a child, and I love to try out different roles, so when I was in college, I made the serious decision to major in acting. I wanted to achieve my goal of entering the glittering entertainment field one day, where I could display my passion as well as dedicate my life to my career. I sincerely hoped then to grow into a professional actor, who did well in every role before the audience. Unfortunately, reality threw me a wet blanket at my very first production even as I commenced my career with great anticipation. I was shocked to realize that the entertainment industry isn’t the holy land I imagined it to be. The more radiant a place, the more profound the hidden shadows. Sometimes, things that look beautiful on the surface are never known for what they truly are. Before this incident, Yun Shishi was my idol and a senior that I respected immensely. I was uplifted and happy when I found out that I would be working with her in the first drama of my acting career. She was that excellent in my eyes, but only later did I comprehend the harsh reality of how she used dirty tricks, step by step, to get on top!”

The audience was in an uproar.

…

Everywhere—the Internet, TVs, jumbotrons, mall atriums, and streaming platforms, the actress’s heartbreaking words echoed, stunning the viewers of the live presscon.

Before the eyes of the media, Ji Yan’s tears rolled down her face as she painfully outlined her rival’s wrongdoings.

It turned out that, before joining the cast of ‘Extreme Youth’, she had started a formal relationship with Gao Nan, the heir of the Gao Corporation.

The two were deeply in love, and their relationship was very strong and stable.

Alas, something happened at the last party they attended.

That day was her birthday, and for her birthday celebration, she invited the whole crew to a bar. She vaguely noticed Yun Shishi looking at her boyfriend in a strange way, and after that, the two of them made their way to the bathroom one after the other. Hua Jin then followed suit. Before long, shouts could be heard from the bathroom entrance. The crew rushed over to find both men engaged in a brawl.

The actor claimed that the man had made a move on the actress, but that was not the case.

After the incident, Gao Nan told her that, during the party, Yun Shishi had slipped him a note with a few words handwritten using a brow pencil: I’ll wait for you at the bathroom.

Her boyfriend was bewildered by the note and decided to do as told out of curiosity. At the bathroom, the actress, unexpectedly, shed her reserved and cool image as she took the initiative to seduce him. She claimed that, as long as she was given a lead role, she would be willing to be his mistress.

The man’s mother was the top executive of Chengguang Entertainment; thus, he had extraordinary resources at his disposal.
