Chapter 1 Chapter 1 A love contract that cannot be refused...
The drizzle outside the window gradually stopped.
Xia Nuan put her hands on her chin and thought, and decided to reject this relationship contract.
"Thank you, Langfeng, for your kindness to me, but I——"
Her upper and lower lips seemed to be glued together, and her throat seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand. Xia Nuan was unable to speak.
Everyone in the room was looking at Xia Nuan, except Lou Su, who was sitting on the sofa with an expressionless face.
An electronic warning suddenly sounded: [Host, please do not violate the original plot, otherwise you will be killed]
The sky was clear and the sun broke free from the dark clouds. The sunlight passed through the transparent glass, leaving swaying spots of light on the ground.
Xia Nuan felt cold all over, as if nothing had happened. She smiled lightly, but the smile was a little forced. "I'm honored to have this opportunity."
Lou Su glanced at her sideways, without any extra emotion.
The vehicle drove away from the building.
Xia Nuan held her chin and stared at the official Weibo of "The Cottage in the Field". Langfeng Media is indeed one of the few large companies in the circle. Its efficiency is very high. Just after signing the contract, less than half an hour later, Xia Nuan's name appeared on it.
She wasn't even home yet.
Just three minutes after the official post was published, the number of unfollowed people in her Weibo account @夏暖Euphemia had already reached 99+.
Aside from a few friendly words, the rest were all insults and scolding. She ruffled her hair and threw the phone aside.
——
Time goes back three hours.
Xia Nuan was sitting at her desk, her fingers clacking at the computer keyboard. She still had four translations to do, and she was sure to finish them before the end-of-month deadline.
She let out a long sigh, unscrewed the bottle cap and ate a grape-flavored mint candy. Xia Nuan threw herself onto the sofa and cleared her racing brain.
The sky was a little gloomy and there was a drizzle of rain.
A slight chilly breeze blew into the house through the open window. It had been cloudy for several days, raining every day, and it was stuffy and cold.
She rubbed her eyes and stretched. Her pajamas were pulled up a few centimeters, revealing her slender waist, revealing two extremely symmetrical waist dimples. Her smooth waistline was hidden in her waist and abdomen, and the appearance of her abdominal muscles could be vaguely seen.
Xia Nuan stuffed another grape-flavored candy into her mouth, tucked her pillow into her arms, and curled up on the sofa to scroll through her phone. There was a small mole on her right ring finger, making her hand look particularly delicate.
Apart from the second most searched #Lou Su concert abs#, the first few were all about a certain young actor and his amateur girlfriend that were exposed early this morning. Eating melons is human nature, and no one can escape it.
I refreshed the page casually and the top trending search was #next week's variety show live broadcast#, with several related entries below, such as #variety show guests to be announced soon #rural cottage#.
This variety show has been very popular recently. Although the guests have not been announced yet, the popularity remains high. I have to say that the marketing team behind it is very powerful and willing to spend a lot of money.
Xia Nuan closed her Weibo account without much interest, stuffed another candy into her mouth, and glanced at the balance on her card. She sighed. Twenty-five thousand two hundred and fifty yuan and six cents, who knew who this number was mocking.
She has been in the industry for about two and a half years and has filmed quite a few dramas, but most of them only lasted a dozen minutes. Some of them didn't even have a single line and were just a background.
The role with the most screen time was the third female lead in a web drama about ancient idols. Xia Nuan curled her lips slightly, but she didn't think this drama would ever be released.
Who would have thought that she would be frozen out? If she hadn't worked part-time as an online translator this year, she might have had trouble surviving in North City, let alone paying the rent.
The rent was a whopping ten thousand yuan a month. She must have been out of her mind to sign a two-year lease, and the landlord wouldn't allow subletting. Xia Nuan counted on her fingers. The lease was due in four months, and she only made about four or five thousand yuan a month from translation work.
It was so annoying, she stared at the ceiling in a daze. When she was first blacklisted, she also tried to send her resume to the crew, but was rejected without exception.
Half a year ago, she finally found a production crew willing to give her a small role, but when her company found out, they turned it down. Xia Nuan knew from that moment on that she had offended them so much that there was no way she could turn things around.
Xia Nuan thought of the ugly faces of those people at the party that night, and her eyes gradually turned cold.
Xia Nuan knew she was pretty, having been spotted by numerous talent scouts in college. However, she had no interest in the entertainment industry at all. In college, she focused solely on studying and taking exams. Oh, and it seemed she was even in a relationship. Thinking of her ex-boyfriend, Xia Nuan's eyes darkened, but she decided not to mention it.
She had even been directly admitted to graduate school during her undergraduate studies and even received several good offers during the spring recruitment process. So how did she end up in the entertainment industry? Why had she inexplicably accepted the Dachi Media company's business card? Xia Nuan still couldn't figure it out.
She signed a three-year contract with the company, and there are still four or five months before the contract expires. Should she become a full-time translator in the future? Or, Xia Nuan dug out the various certificates she had obtained in college. According to her parents' wishes, being a teacher seemed like a good idea. Thinking of her parents, her smile became a little bitter.
How come the bottle is empty? There's not a single candy left. She remembered buying six bottles this time. It's only been two weeks. Could she have finished them so quickly? Xia Nuan was shocked, but she skillfully placed an order for twelve more bottles on Pinxixi.
The wind suddenly picked up, and she got up and closed the window.
Huh? Why does that figure downstairs look so familiar? Xia Nuan stared at the figure for a while and it seemed to be someone she knew—her agent, Yu Lilan.
Yu Lilan and Xia Nuan's relationship wasn't bad, but after Xia Nuan was banned, their contact was indeed much less frequent. She was now completely absorbed in a new professional actress, and the last time they saw each other was six months ago. Xia Nuan didn't harbor any complaints; it was perfectly normal for people to strive for higher positions.
But what could she possibly be doing here now? Xia Nuan frowned, her long eyelashes fluttering. It turned out that Yu Lilan always told her in advance before coming, so why did she come so suddenly this time?
The doorbell rang, and it was indeed her. Yu Lilan wiped the raindrops from her face with a tissue and took a deep breath. She seemed to be in a good mood, with a hint of joy on her brow.
Yu Lilan once again sighed in her heart that God was biased. Her face was always stunningly beautiful.
Xia Nuan has excellent bone structure, not to mention her skin. She is not only beautiful, but also beautiful with a sense of story. She can definitely stand the test of the big screen. When Yu Lilan first saw Xia Nuan, she felt that this girl was different. She even went to great lengths with her colleagues to snatch Xia Nuan to her name.
Yu Lilan was still depressed when she thought about Xia Nuan's extreme behavior last year. Over a year ago, she had finally managed to get Xia Nuan a second female lead role, but not long after, Xia Nuan was put on ice, and the script was snatched away by a colleague she didn't get along with.
Xia Nuan attended the wrap-up party of a web drama in which she starred as the third female lead. However, an investor made advances towards her at the party. If she didn't like it, she would have refused. However, Xia Nuan poured the wine on the man's head and beat him up.
However, now is different from the past. Yu Lilan asked excitedly: "Xiao Xia, do you still want to stay in the circle?"
Um?
"Xiao Xia, do you still want to act?"
Xia Nuan heard it clearly this time, and her eyes lit up. She really likes acting, and to be honest, the entertainment industry is recognized as a place to make money quickly. She is a vulgar person who loves money. Being an actor makes a lot of money, and the degree of hard work is not worth mentioning compared to other professions.
"Sister, I'm still being hidden—" and my contract with the company is about to expire.
Xia Nuan raised her eyes and looked at Yu Lilan.
Yu Lilan said in a brisk voice, "This time is different. Do you know Langfeng Media?"
Langfeng Media is the largest entertainment company in China, involved in film, television and music. Many well-known Chinese movie stars and the frequent hot search user Lou Su are members of Langfeng Media.
Ten Dachi Media companies are probably not as good as one Langfeng Media.
"Xiao Xia, if you still want to act, this is your only chance." Yu Lilan took out the variety show invitation and handed it to Xia Nuan.
"A Little House in the Field"? Isn't this the live variety show that has been promoted all over Weibo these days? Why would they invite her, a nobody who's not even on the 18th line?
"This is a slow-paced, experiential lifestyle variety show invested by Langfeng Media, and they've invited you. The company wanted someone else to participate in your place, but the people at Langfeng insisted you go. If I hadn't persuaded them, the company might have rejected it directly on your behalf. Xiaoxia, this is your last chance. If you can use this opportunity to become famous..."
Xia Nuan didn't quite believe Yu Lilan's lies.
"Xiao Xia, although it hasn't been officially announced yet, Lou Su will be participating in this variety show. This show is bound to be a hit."
"The Cottage in the Countryside" is a live-streaming celebrity reality show that aims to allow people to experience simple and plain country life. It has three permanent guests and the number of flying guests varies in each episode.
Produced by the Langfeng Group, and with the current hottest traffic joining in, its popularity cannot be low.
"Fatty Li threatened me back then that he wouldn't let me have any chance to appear on screen."
Fatty Li was the investor who was beaten up by Xia Nuan. Xia Nuan sneered when she thought of him.
"Don't worry about that. He doesn't have the power to dictate to Langfeng Media. This time, it was the people from Langfeng who personally chose you. They said it had to be you."
It has to be me. This doesn't sound good and is too weird. She is just an 18th-tier celebrity with almost no fame. How could she have the ability to be personally selected by the people from Langfeng Media?
The phone in Yu Lilan's coat pocket suddenly vibrated, "Xiao Xia, take a look at the contract first."
Xia Nuan nodded slightly, flipping through the document, her pupils shrinking. I wasn't invited as a flying guest, but as one of the three permanent guests. Was she seeing things right?!
Yu Lilan hung up the phone at some point and walked over, her expression somewhat serious. "Xiao Xia, we need to go to Langfeng Media."
The author has something to say:
----------------------
The article is open!
1. The original male protagonist and the female protagonist of the novel are both straight men. Although they will not kill or set fire, they are not good people either.
2. The heroine has a good career and a lot of love lines, but it's just a one-way arrow from others to the heroine. Isn't it better to be a hero? (doge)
3. I have fun writing and everyone has fun reading. Our main goal is to be entertaining and not require much thought.

★Next book: My Husband is Long Aotian (Through the Book)
[One-sentence introduction: I didn’t want to be a poor wife, but later I ascended the throne]
In his previous life, Shen Yaoguang, who had worked hard to become the general manager of a company, was in a car accident and was reborn as a 28-year-old girl waiting to be married in the family of an ancient country gentry.
After getting to know the surroundings and learning that he had traveled through a book, Shen Yaoguang was completely quit.
The male protagonist of Long Aotian, the future emperor, and currently a scholar, Qin Yungang, has just been chosen by her father and will marry him in a month.
Although he looks like a decent person and has a bright future now, he rebelled a year later.
She only wanted to live a peaceful life, so how could she be willing to marry an emperor who was bound to rebel and would have many concubines in the future? Not to mention that she was just a passing mention in the plot, "dying of illness" before ascending the throne to make way for other beauties.
——
But her father had set his sights on this son-in-law and she had no chance to resist.
On their wedding night, before the veil was lifted, Chen Yaoguang said to Qin Yun, "I know you had to marry me because of my father. Once this storm is over, we can get divorced."
A month passed, and they still hadn't divorced. Two months later, and they still hadn't divorced. Were all those promises we made so confidently back then just lies?
In the third month, Shen Yaoguang couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Shouldn't we get a divorce?"
Qin Yun's lips curled slightly, "What are you talking about, my lady? We are newly married, and I, your husband, cannot bear to hear the word divorce."
Bah, you bastard.
Shen Yaoguang had anticipated this situation and fled with the money she had prepared. She had been wandering around for half a year and had fallen in love with a neighbor boy, and they were about to discuss marriage.
Qin Yun led a group of people to occupy this place.
Chen Yaoguang and his neighbor boy disguised themselves and prepared to escape to other refuge places again, but they were caught by Qin Yun himself at the city gate.
"Ma'am, where are you going?"
——
There was chaos and plundering and fighting.
Later, Chen Yaoguang stayed with Qin Yun through thick and thin, and never abandoned him, watching him grow from a scholar to a regional overlord, and then to an emperor above all others.
Later, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor and empress served together in the court, and were called the Two Saints.
Later, the queen ascended the throne.
【Small Theater】
One morning, Chen Yaoguang was absent from court due to some matters.
A minister risked his life to make a protest, which was bound to force Your Majesty to remove the two saints and restore the imperial throne.
The young general, a founding hero and a powerful figure, glared and snorted, his lips pressed tightly together, his hard face filled with coldness. "I think it's not possible."
The former number one scholar, now the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, held a sceptre in both hands. His face was handsome and gentle like jade, his long eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp edge appeared. "I also think it is not possible."
Standing on the dragon throne, Qin Yunhan lowered his eyes slightly, with a smile on his face, but his voice was smiling but it made people shudder for no reason, "My dear, please don't hit the wrong pillar."
【Highlight】
①The heroine is very smart and always super clear-headed. The hero falls in love first.
②Marriage first, love later, the male protagonist does not want to divorce for other reasons
③ There will be some people who only have one-way arrows for the heroine
