The day of the awards ceremony arrived. Shen Mengyao eagerly climbed out of bed before dawn, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She had carefully chosen a magnificent gown, custom-made for the ceremony, adorned with countless dazzling diamonds, each sparkling brilliantly under the lights, a testament to her yearning for glory. She sat before her vanity, meticulously applying her makeup, striving for perfection in every detail. Her fingers gently caressed her cheeks, her eyes brimming with confidence in her appearance.
"Today, I will be the most dazzling star on this stage," Shen Mengyao said to herself in the mirror, a triumphant smile on her face. She stood up, gracefully twirled, and admired her own beauty. Her skirt flowed like a blooming flower, dazzling and captivating. She took a deep breath, as if to inhale all the air of victory, then walked out of the room and got into the car heading to the awards ceremony.
Throughout the journey, Shen Mengyao was in an exceptionally cheerful mood. Gazing at the scenery outside the car window, her heart was filled with anticipation for the future. She imagined herself walking onto the stage to receive an award, the audience cheering for her, the media's flashbulbs going off like stars, and her becoming the focus of the entire entertainment industry. Her heart raced, and a confident smile radiated from her face, a smile brimming with anticipation for the glory to come.
When she arrived at the awards ceremony, she immediately caused a sensation. Countless flashes of light went off like lightning, aimed at her. She smiled and waved to everyone, a smile as radiant as the sun, yet tinged with pride. She walked into the venue with elegant steps, each step seemingly on cloud nine. The venue was luxuriously and grandly decorated, the dazzling lights and magnificent decorations filling the entire space with a dreamlike atmosphere. Guided by staff, Shen Mengyao took her seat. She looked around and saw many familiar faces; those who had once fawned over her now seemed insignificant in her eyes. She was filled with pride, as if she had already reached the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.
When the host announced the Best Actress nominees, Shen Mengyao's name was prominently featured. Her heart pounded instantly, as if it would burst from her chest. A triumphant smile spread across her face, a smile brimming with the joy of victory. She stood up, straightened her dress, the diamonds on it sparkling even more brilliantly under the lights, as if cheering her victory. Then, she confidently walked onto the stage, her steps light yet firm, her eyes radiating self-assurance, as if the world were at her feet. She felt this award was already hers, and no one could dim her brilliance.
However, just as she was about to accept the trophy, an unexpected incident occurred. Lin Qian hacked into the venue's large screen control system using 003, and the screen suddenly began playing evidence of Shen Mengyao's misdeeds. The screen displayed intimate photos of Shen Mengyao with various men, as well as videos of her speaking ill of other celebrities behind their backs. The audience and media present were stunned, and they began to whisper among themselves.
"Oh my god, I never thought Shen Mengyao was this kind of person!"
"This is terrible, how could she do such a thing?"
"This is simply a scandal in the entertainment industry!"
As Shen Mengyao stared at the content on the big screen, her heart was instantly filled with despair and fear. Her eyes widened in disbelief at what she was seeing.
"This...this isn't true, someone's framing me!" she shouted, her voice trembling, but no one believed her. Her mind went blank; she felt her world crumble in an instant. She tried to explain, but faced with irrefutable evidence, her defenses seemed utterly weak and powerless.
Lu Jingchen was also present. He saw Shen Mengyao's true colors and was filled with disappointment and anger. His eyes were filled with disgust and regret. He finally realized that he had been deceived by Shen Mengyao all along.
"Shen Mengyao, I never imagined you were this kind of person. I must have been blind to be with you!" He stood up and said angrily. His voice echoed throughout the hall, making Shen Mengyao feel even more ashamed.
Soon after, Lu Jingchen's company was investigated by relevant authorities due to Lin Qian's report. Lin Qian used hacking skills to breach Lu Jingchen's company's firewall, discovered many of his illegal activities, and reported this evidence to the authorities. Ultimately, Lu Jingchen's company went bankrupt, and he himself fell into a huge predicament.
Shen Mengyao was also arrested by the police for tax evasion and other issues.
As Shen Mengyao was taken away by the police, her eyes were filled with despair and regret. The gorgeous dress she once wore, which had made her so proud, now seemed so ironic. She glanced back at the stage that had once belonged to her, now the beginning of her nightmare.
"This is all my own doing..." Shen Mengyao murmured to herself, her voice filled with bitterness.
The police ruthlessly led her into the police car, the sirens echoing in the air as if announcing her crimes. Shen Mengyao sat in the back seat, her body trembling uncontrollably. Her mind flashed back to her past glories—the applause, the praise—all now distant memories.
She recalled her ruthless pursuit of fame and fortune, and her heart was filled with remorse. If she could do it all over again, she might have chosen a different path, but now, it was all too late.
In prison, Shen Mengyao endured long and agonizing days. She lost her freedom, she lost everything she once had. Every day she reflected on her past, trying to find a glimmer of hope for redemption, but she knew that the mistakes she had made could not be easily forgiven.
