At the time, Jiang Yiyan was the first choice for the female lead, while Zhang Shenniang was a backup candidate. Gu XX favored Jiang Yiyan. Of course, there might have been other reasons behind this, but we don't know. It's worth noting that Zhang Shenniang and Gu Changwei have a very close relationship. Under these circumstances, there must be a reason why Zhang Shenniang wasn't chosen as the first female lead.

Back then, Jiang Yiyan was still quite inexperienced and not exactly a time management master; she hadn't learned this skill from Luo XX. She was busy dating Yin X and thought that having Yin X to help her was enough, so she was often late for training on set.

Jiang Yiyan's tendency to be late and her lack of dedication on set eventually drew the ire of director Gu XX. After much deliberation, Gu Changwei ultimately decided to cast the hardworking, earnest, and enthusiastic Zhang Jingchu, abandoning Jiang Yiyan. Although she didn't get a role in Gu XX's film, Jiang Yiyan, through her boyfriend Yin Li's recommendation, landed the lead role in "Summer With You." She was filming "Summer With You" in 2005.

But then another accident happened.

During the filming of "Summer With You," Jiang Yiyan met photographer Yang Tao, and the two even developed a romantic relationship. Yang Tao is a well-known photographer and producer in the industry, having served as a shooting director for works such as "Blue Rain" and "Journey to the West: The Monkey King 2," and possesses considerable resources and connections.

Jiang Yiyan had studied photography since childhood. She greatly admired and appreciated Yang X, and the two, sharing similar interests, felt an instant connection and enjoyed their conversation immensely. With resources, connections, and a common interest, Jiang Yiyan immediately launched a gentle offensive. She used every trick in the book to win Yang X over.

In short, the two got together before filming was even finished. During the day, Jiang Yiyan was busy filming; at night, she was busy flirting with Yang X, making the most of her time.

However, secrets don't stay hidden forever. The rumors about Jiang Yiyan and Yang X eventually reached the ears of her boyfriend, Yin X. Yin X instantly felt used and cheated on, humiliated and furious. Unable to contain his anger, Yin X went to the film set where Jiang Yiyan was shooting, grabbed Yang Tao by the collar and began verbally abusing him, causing a scene on set.

Yin X and Yang Tao had a heated argument, which escalated into a physical fight. Jiang Yiyan was so frightened that she quickly fled the set and only returned to filming after several days of rest.

After the incident that caused a scene on set, Jiang Yiyan and Yin X broke up. After filming the drama, her relationship with Yang Tao also ended. This melodramatic love triangle thus came to a close.

Jiang Yiyan was somewhat depressed because she had lost two powerful backers due to her greed and mistakes. She blamed herself for being too high-profile and failing to handle these two relationships skillfully.

However, this incident taught her a lesson and gave her valuable experience. From then on, Jiang Yiyan became more cautious and adept in her romantic pursuits. Soon, Jiang Yiyan found a new backer. In 2006, she joined Orange Sky Entertainment and received strong support from Wu Kebo.

The reason Jiang Yiyan received such strong support was not for any other reason than her immense charm, which completely captivated CEO Wu. It's worth noting that Wu Kebo was dating a "heartthrob" at the time, and he founded Orange Sky specifically to promote his girlfriend. Due to Wu Kebo's philandering and Jiang Yiyan's interference, Chen Hao broke up with Wu Kebo and left Orange Sky in anger, while Jiang Yiyan was branded a "homewrecker."

I won't go into the details of what happened next. Jiang Yiyan was very good at ingratiating herself with people. After learning her lesson, she knew not to put all her eggs in one basket. Somehow, she hooked up with Uncle Daoming. Originally, Zhang Xinyi was supposed to be the female lead in this drama. Then, Uncle Daoming recommended her to act with Tong Dawei, and the two got together. Keep in mind that Tong Dawei was already with Guan Yue at the time. Not long after they got together, they broke up for some reason, probably because of the public opinion.

Then she met her big sugar daddy, the cake shop owner, who kept stealing other people's roles, such as Wang Luodan and Xue Kaiqi, both of whom scolded her to her face.

Wang Luodan is no pushover; her agent is Chang Jihong.

Fiona Sit directly mocked Jiang Yiyan at the awards ceremony because the role of Ji Yaohua should have originally been hers.

Jiang Yiyan got into the film crew through Liu Yifei's connections. However, she still embarrassed Liu Yifei on the show by pretending to be innocent and saying bad things about her, and then denied it afterwards, still feigning innocence.

She didn't care about the ridicule; after all, it was her performance. She got what she wanted. Later, the cake shop owner's biological son returned, and Jiang Yiyan was dumped, then started seducing him again.

Then the whole "teaching in rural areas" thing was a complete lie. It was just about finding a poor mountainous area, taking some photos, and staying for a few days. Ten years of teaching in rural areas was all for the sake of maintaining an invincible image as a public welfare celebrity.

And then there's the title of a great architect.

It's all fake; he's a born liar.
