After the Drama, Action!

The moment Chu Yaoyao fell from the top floor of the Century Hotel, the sudden sense of weightlessness made her close her eyes subconsciously... The impact and pain that she imagined did not come as expected.

Chu Yaoyao suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in a dark room, a rancid sour smell lingered on the tip of her nose.

Was she in the hospital?

She fell from the 25th floor and survived?

Chu Yaoyao got up from the bed, she was wearing heavy home clothes. If she remembered correctly, it's July now, how could she wear such thick clothes?

Chu Yaoyao put on her slippers, carefully avoiding the puddles of vomit on the ground. Chu Yaoyao went downstairs and observed the layout of the house, it was a small duplex. The first floor was the living room and the kitchen. There was a pile of leftover food boxes on the table, which was a mess. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and it was pretty disgusting at first glance.

Beside the bed in the bedroom, on the table in the living room, on the floor, and on the bar counter in the kitchen, there were empty wine bottles. And they were even the kind of quite high-strength liquor.

The more Chu Yaoyao looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong...

Was she being tricked? Or was she kidnapped?!

But when she passed the bathroom, Chu Yaoyao stopped immediately, and she looked at the person in the mirror, the expression of that person changed from indifference and exploration to wide-eyed and terrified.

"F*ck! Did I fall face down?" Chu Yaoyao walked quickly to the mirror. This face was swollen, and the two dark circles under the eyes were darker than pandas. 

Chu Yaoyao dominates the entertainment industry, the most famous and prominent feature is her pair of eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling, the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, making people feel itchy when she looks at them. 

These eyes are bloodshot, the drooping eyes are not hers at all!!! 

Not to mention face shape, nose, and mouth!

Just when Chu Yaoyao was in a daze, a bunch of memories that did not belong to her suddenly flooded into her mind. The brain seemed to burst due to the overloaded operation, and the severe pain made Chu Yaoyao's eyes go dark. She subconsciously supported herself by holding the sink to avoid falling to the ground.

Chu Yaoyao seemed to hear the desperate cry of a girl:

"Could it be that because I was born lower than others, I am going to be stepped on by them?"

"Ridicule, abuse, irony, betrayal, abandonment... Am I just inferior?"

"If I could do it all over again, I would live a nobler and more elegant life than anyone else, and they all can only look up to me, envy me, and they all can't catch up with me!"

... 

Another girl's life.

Her name was Chu Yao, and she was born in a patriarchal family. She came out to work before graduating from high school, and was discovered by scouts when she was 23 years old, so she entered the entertainment circle in a daze. After running for two years, she became famous when she was 25 years old because she starred in the low-cost school drama "Be Careful".

Chu Yao and Tang Mingyuan, the little fresh meat who played the leading role, had an affair because of the drama. Tang Mingyuan was afraid that the popularity of the public relationship would decline, so the relationship between the two of them had never been made public. Tang Mingyuan's acting skills are good, and his emotional intelligence is quite high. Taking advantage of the momentum of "Be Careful", he took on a popular TV series and a big-budget movie as the second male lead, and the more he mixed the better roles he got.

Chu Yao's acting career after the drama "Be Careful" had been lukewarm, without any splashes, and the distance between Tang Mingyuan and her was getting bigger and bigger.

This year's "City of Angels" starring Tang Mingyuan became very popular, which greatly improved the popularity of the movie, making Tang Mingyuan directly among the first-line niche artists. He and the heroine Ren Bing's "Angel CP" became more and more popular, and the audience's voice was very loud. The two were dating on the Chinese Valentine's Day this year and were photographed by paparazzi. The two took advantage of the opportunity to disclose their relationship. They were called the golden boy and jade girl.

Obviously Chu Yao was greened¹. When Tang Mingyuan first joined the group "City of Angels", Chu Yao discovered that Tang Mingyuan had cheated, but Chu Yao had a very ostrich personality and loved Tang Mingyuan so much, so she kept turning a blind eye. Who knew that Chu Yao's weakness and grievance did not bring about Tang Mingyuan's pity at all, and she was still abandoned.

Because of the environment in which she grew up in, Chu Yao had always been extremely insecure. She had struggled in her family for more than 20 years. The appearance of Tang Mingyuan made her feel loved and cherished, so she had been clinging to this life-saving straw. When Tang Mingyuan made his relationship with Ren Bing public, it directly shattered all of Chu Yao's hopes.

After the breakup, Chu Yao was often in a state of collapse. She drank and overate, had a bad temper, and couldn't even finish her work. When she was drunk and unconscious, she directly posted an intimate photo with Tang Mingyuan on Weibo, and directly posted a post about Ren Bing slashing her love, interfering in her relationship with Tang Mingyuan.

This love triangle immediately became a hot search, and there were countless people watching and eating melons. Compared to Ren Bing and Tang Mingyuan's popularity, Chu Yao certainly couldn't catch up with them. Chu Yao was besieged and abused by two fandoms, saying that she hugged Tang Mingyuan's thighs to hype herself shamelessly.

The three of them are all artists under Chentian Film and Television, Ren Bing's father is a high-level executive of Chentian, Tang Mingyuan is a popular male star of the company, and hugged Ren Bing's thigh again. In this farce led by Chu Yao, it was clear at a glance who was abandoned by the company.

Chentian Film and Television immediately mobilized public relations and naval forces, and Chu Yao, the legitimate girlfriend, became a mistress, and was beaten up to interfere in the relationship between Ren Bing and Tang Mingyuan.

In the end, this farce ended with Chu Yao becoming a street mouse that everyone shouted and beaten on sight, and the female number two of a TV series she was supposed to accept was also interfered with. Chu Yao was directly blocked by the higher ups in Chentian, and there was almost no work announcement in the past six months.

In the past six months, Chu Yao has been in a state of drunkenness and dreaming. She checked Tang Mingyuan and Ren Bingxiu's affection on the Internet every day and abused herself. She drank and overate every day, which caused her weight to be 130 catties². It also led to her death from alcohol poisoning last night... 

And then Chu Yaoyao woke up in her body.

Chu Yaoyao solemnly said, "From today onwards, I will live on as Chu Yao. I will fulfill your dream, let you stand on the highest place, and let those who look down on you can only fall in the dust... Rest in peace."

It wasn't until Chu Yaoyao finished saying this that the resentment in her mind and heart gradually dissipated.

...

Chu Yao's eyebrows and eyes widened, she rubbed her temples, looked at the completely unfamiliar face in the mirror, and it took a long time before she accepted the reality that she had changed from Chu Yaoyao to Chu Yao.

The difference between the two names is just a word, but the situation is very different.

Chu Yao took out her mobile phone, opened Qiandu.com, and searched for "Chu Yaoyao". In Qiandu's introduction, Chu Yaoyao's profile picture was a black-and-white photo. In that photo, Chu Yaoyao's smiling eyes were crooked, smiling all over, as if she was right in front of her eyes.

Qiandu used extreme words to describe Chu Yaoyao:

Chu Yaoyao's death was the biggest loss in the entertainment industry in the last century.

In the past twenty years, no matter how many superstars have appeared in the entertainment industry, the audience will never forget Chu Yaoyao.

Chu Yaoyao is the brightest light in the entertainment industry.

...

Chu Yao was inexplicably ashamed seeing these comments. Although she said so, but the honest Chu Yao still had the corners of her mouth slightly raised, feeling a little smug. When she saw that the cause of her death was suicide due to depression, Chu Yao suddenly narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but sneer.

Chu Yao also searched for the name "Chen Yushuang" in Qiandu. This was the person who pushed her downstairs. Time was really a good thing. Chen Yushuang, who was following behind her at the beginning, did well, and became the Film Empress Chen at the top of the Chinese Pyramid.

It's really interesting to think about...

Chu Yao's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the phone, and she saw that it was her manager Lu Xingzhou calling. In the original owner's impression, Lu Xingzhou was a nanny-like agent with a gentle temper and a good talker. He knew the situation of the original owner's family very well and took good care of her. Even during the time when Chu Yao was hidden by the company, Lu Xingzhou did not give up on her completely, and often comforted her.

Chu Yao answered the phone, her voice was hoarse, but her tone was quite gentle, "Hey, brother Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Xingzhou on the other side of the phone was taken aback. He hadn't heard Chu Yao speak in such a calm voice for a long time. Not to mention that Chu Yao's voice is pretty nice when speaking in this tone.

Lu Xingzhou couldn't help touching his itchy ears, and he said warmly, "There is a variety show that will be recorded and broadcast on the TV station the day after tomorrow, and it talks about actors acting. The lineup and topics may become popular, do you want to participate?"
 

The first announcement in half a year, of course.

Chu Yao lightly smiled and replied, "Of course I want to! Thank you, brother Lu~"

When Chu Yao hung up the phone, Lu Xingzhou on the opposite side still kept a confused look... His artist has changed her temper?

And here Chu Yao was looking at the face reflected in the mirror, feeling helpless. She will participate in the program with this face and figure? She would probably die before her "rebirth"!

Lu Xingzhou hadn't seen her for more than a month, so he wouldn't even know what she looks like now.

Chu Yao's WeChat vibrated a few times, and it turned out that Lu Xingzhou sent her the notices and scripts of the variety show. Chu Yao's swollen fingers slid twice on the phone screen, and suddenly a dialog box popped up on her WeChat.
