The villain in this world is also a talented actor, having once been nominated for Best Actor, but his resources haven't been great in recent years, which is partly due to his temperament.
The villain Sheng Yu has a common problem among veteran actors: he looks down on popular celebrities, the most prominent example being the currently trending Qiao Ke.
This inexplicable disdain and dislike led Sheng Yu to frequently suppress Qiao Ke. In the original novel, Qiao Ke was suppressed to the point that she was criticized to the point of having no resources and being bombarded with negative news.
The original owner's identity was also special; she was the fiancée of Sheng Yu, the main villain of this world. Because it was an arranged marriage, the two had never met. Sheng Yu, as a celebrity, had never revealed that he had a fiancée.
It wasn't until this year, when the original owner reached marriageable age, that her parents mentioned this matter to her.
As a well-behaved girl, the original owner dared not show any resentment in her heart, which led to the two families bringing up the old matter again and arranging for them to meet today.
Su Chen sighed as she looked at the meeting place that the original owner's parents had sent her on her phone.
As someone who had read the plot in advance, I naturally knew that Sheng Yu would definitely stand me up today.
However, out of politeness, Su Chen still went to the coffee shop to wait. After waiting for half an hour, she got up to leave, but as soon as she stood up, she was bumped to the ground by a person dressed in black and wearing a black hat whose face was covered so much that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.
"You!" Even though Su Chen's temper was still good due to the influence of the original owner, she should be angry now.
The man quickly pulled her up and apologized, "Excuse me, are you Su Chen?"
Su Chen frowned. "I am. Who are you?"
"Then run with me now!" he said, grabbing her wrist and running like crazy.
The speed at which he ran was as if he wanted to win a gold medal, and Su Chen was so breathless that she felt like she was going to faint.
After finally reaching a corner, the person stuck half their head out to make sure no one was behind them before taking off their mask.
"Sheng Yu?!" Su Chen was shocked. She clearly remembered that this part wasn't in the storyline the system gave her. Could it be that she missed it?
"Okay." Sheng Yu nodded quickly and put his mask back on. "This place is still not safe. Let's go to my house first."
"Ah! Well..." Before Su Chen could finish her sentence, Sheng Yu grabbed her and started running again.
He rushed to a residential complex, quickly swiped his access card, and then dragged her into the elevator. The complex had one apartment per floor, so when the elevator doors opened, there was only one door.
Just as Sheng Yu was about to pull her inside, Su Chen, with a sudden burst of strength, clung to the doorframe and refused to go in with him.
"Why aren't we going in? Wasn't today a meeting arranged by both sets of parents?" Sheng Yu asked, releasing Su Chen's hand in confusion.
Su Chen said that as a conservative person, she couldn't just enter a strange man's house, "But... it wouldn't be right for me to enter your house when we have no relationship..."
Sheng Yu saw Su Chen as an ostrich, as if she would shrink back into her shell if he reached out his hand; her eyes were full of defensiveness.
Sheng Yu looked like he was trying hard to remember. "How come I remember that we were fiancé and fiancée?"
“But…” Su Chen wanted to say something more.
"Don't worry, I can't do anything to you. We're going to get married sooner or later, and our parents are just doing this for our own good, letting us develop our relationship beforehand." With that, Sheng Yu opened the door and gestured for us to enter.
Su Chen seemed unable to refuse, so she followed him into the house.
