After being reborn, I became a sensation in the entertainment industry thanks to metaphysics.
"Su Wan, you bitch!"
A sharp shout of curses exploded in my ears, and I jolted open my eyes to a blinding white light. The smell of disinfectant filled my nostrils, and I realized I was lying in a hospital bed.
Memories flooded back, and I remembered how that so-called best friend pushed me down the stairs. She said I stole her role, that I got ahead through underhanded means, that I... I sneered. Those baseless accusations were nothing more than because I was in her way.
"Awake?" A deep male voice came from behind me. I turned my head and saw a doctor in a white coat standing by the bed. He was wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, and those eyes... felt strangely familiar.
"Doctor, I..."
"Don't speak," he interrupted me. "You fell down the stairs, you have a concussion, you need to rest."
I nodded, but froze the moment I looked down. On my wrist was a sandalwood bracelet. This bracelet... wasn't it the one my grandmother gave me before she passed away when I was eighteen? But I remember losing it five years ago.
My heart suddenly raced, and my hand trembled as I reached for my phone on the bedside table. The moment the screen lit up, I felt as if I'd been struck by lightning—April 15, 2023.
I was reborn, back to five years ago!
"Your medical report." The doctor handed me a stack of documents. "Aside from the concussion, the rest are all superficial injuries. You can be discharged after a few days of rest."
I took the document, but the moment my fingers touched his, a jolt of electricity shot through my body. This feeling... I jerked my head up and met his eyes. In those eyes, it seemed as if stars were twinkling.
"Dr. Lu! The patient in bed number 3 has suffered a sudden heart attack!" The nurse rushed in.
"I'll be right there." He turned to leave, but then stopped. "Oh, and don't touch the talisman on your bedside table. It's..." He paused, "...for protection."
That's when I noticed a yellow talisman folded into a triangle on the bedside table. This talisman... I picked it up and examined it closely. The runes on it were crooked and twisted, yet they exuded an indescribable mystery.
Wait, Dr. Lu? I suddenly remembered something, flipped open the medical record, and there it was: Lu Jingxing in the attending physician column.
Lu Jingxing! The metaphysical master who would become famous in Beijing five years later! No wonder he looked familiar; five years later, he was frequently featured in financial magazines and was sought after by major wealthy families. Who would have thought that he was just an ordinary resident physician now?
I gripped the talisman tightly in my hand, my heart pounding like a drum. Since Heaven has given me a second chance, in this life, I will make those who harmed me pay the price!
"Ring ring—" The phone suddenly rang; it was an unfamiliar number.
";Hello?";
"Is this Miss Su Wan? This is the crew of 'The Phoenix's Reign.' Congratulations on passing the audition! You've been cast as the second female lead."
I was stunned. Wasn't this the very drama Lin Yue accused me of stealing her role from in my past life? So that's how it is. So this role was mine from the very beginning.
"Thank you, I will be on time for the shoot."
I hung up the phone and looked out the window. The April sun was blindingly bright, yet I felt a chill. Lin Yue, in this life, I'll see what tricks you have up your sleeve.
Three days later, I was discharged from the hospital. When Lu Jingxing came to check on me, I was packing my things.
"Are you being discharged?" He stood at the door, his white coat making him look tall and straight.
"Yes, thank you for taking care of me during this time, Dr. Lu." I thanked him with a smile, but I noticed his gaze was fixed on the sandalwood bracelet on my wrist.
"This bracelet..." he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"It was left to me by my grandmother." I subconsciously touched the bracelet. "What, Dr. Lu, are you interested in antiques?"
He shook his head. "I just think...it's very special." He turned to leave, but stopped at the door. "By the way, you'd better keep that talisman with you at all times."
I nodded and put the talisman into my wallet. I don't know why, but I always felt that this Lu Jingxing was not simple.
Back home, I turned on my computer and started searching for information about "The Phoenix's Reign." The investor in this drama was Shengshi Entertainment, and the boss of Shengshi Entertainment... my fingers hovered over the keyboard—it was Gu Chengze.
Gu Chengze, the heir to the Gu family, one of the four great families in Beijing, took control of the entire Shengshi Group at the young age of twenty-eight. In my past life, I met him once; at that time, he was already a legend in the business world.
Just then, my phone rang again. This time it was my agent, Sister Yang.
"Wanwan, there's a dinner party tomorrow. The investors want to meet you."
I gripped my phone tightly. "Is this Mr. Gu?"
"How did you know?" Sister Yang asked, somewhat surprised. "That's right, it's President Gu. He specifically asked to see you; this is a great opportunity."
