She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

The story begins on a winter day in 2018.

The first snow in the imperial capital that year came very early, but by early November, the road was already covered with a layer of accumulated snow.

As usual, Shen Man stayed in the home theater room in the villa, quietly watching the colorful pictures on the screen.

Even though she has been away from the big screen for nearly ten years, her love for movies has never faded. Whenever she feels upset, she always chooses an old movie, lets herself immerse herself in it, and enjoys the happiness of being alone.

But today, Shen Man found it difficult to concentrate fully on the movie itself - the two photos kept flashing through her mind uncontrollably.

Those two indecent photos of Lin Jinyuan huddling together with young models of different looks.

Whenever she thought of that scene, she felt sick. Even Lin Jinyuan's face made her feel disgusted.

They should get divorced.

Shen Man thought silently.

Even if her mother disagrees, she still wants a divorce.

After a fierce quarrel, Shen Man drove out of the villa area.

She urged her to get married, but also didn't allow her to get divorced... For a moment, Shen Man even felt that her unfortunate life was caused by such a strong and domineering mother.

It was very cold in the capital at one o'clock in the morning. Even with the air conditioner on in the car, one could still exhale white air.

Shen Man stepped on the accelerator and drove aimlessly. The damp coldness wrapped around her limbs like vines, and gradually flowed into her heart, making her feel cold for no reason.

It was at this time that Ye Minglan and Wei Jiao entered her sight.

Two people, wearing hooded sweatshirts of similar styles, fell into the snow one after the other.

The only difference is that one is wearing Balenciaga and the other is wearing an unknown brand.

Shen Man claimed that she was not a compassionate person, but she still chose to get off the car to help them. Maybe it was because the road was empty and there were only three of them. If she didn't help, the two girls might have to sleep here for the night.

By then, even personal safety may not be guaranteed.

Snowy night, slightly tipsy, in the suburbs.

The three key words are interwoven to construct their initial encounter, which was abrupt and highly dramatic, and so coincidental that it seemed destined.

Time returns to the present.

"At that time, they were both just students, without any suspicion, and followed me into the car foolishly." Shen Man took a sip from the wine glass, shook her head and laughed, "Their eyes were like the kittens in the cardboard box, innocent and childish, making it hard for me to ignore them."

Su Lingxi nodded, "Fortunately, they met you. If they met a bad guy, I'm afraid the situation would be very difficult."

"Yeah, generally speaking, no one would go to such a remote place at that time." Shen Man sighed.

At the same time and place, a rebellious girl whose dream is not recognized by her family, a simple student oppressed and tortured by reality, a retired film queen who cannot get her mother's understanding... They are all equally frustrated, equally helpless, and equally swept forward by the huge torrent.

People in similar situations are probably more likely to empathize with each other, at least that's what Shen Man thinks.

Although there is a ten-year age difference between them, the communication between them gives people a sense of tacit understanding as if they had met too late.

"If it weren't for them, I might not have made up my mind to divorce so quickly." Shen Manyun said calmly, "From them, I see vitality and endless possibilities."

Shen Man always felt that she was too old. Even if she wanted to change the status quo, she had missed the golden age for the best development of actresses, and she was unable to do so.

After learning her thoughts, Ye Minglan only said one sentence to her: "Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life until you die?"

Shen Man was stunned where she stood.

It was as if someone hit her on the head with a stick, waking her confused mind.

Yes, she was only in her thirties. Even if she lived to be seventy, she still had forty years to live. Why did she want to turn her good life into a dead end? She had to stay with her unfaithful husband and endure her tyrannical mother?

She used to be a person who did whatever she wanted, when did she become so timid?

Is it because you are afraid of failure, or because you can't face yourself getting older?

Shen Man suddenly realized that these problems were not big problems that could not be solved for her. What she lacked was the courage to make up her mind to solve the problems.

But Ye Minglan's words reminded her: Even if she starts to change from tomorrow, it is definitely not too late.

"So..." Su Lingxi paused as she thought of something, "Was this script originally written for you?"

Shen Man smiled and waved her hand, "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I was the inspiration for the character of Shen Yujie."

"Minglan said that if I hadn't given up my career and chosen another path, I would probably be like Shen Yujie."

"--Becoming a workaholic?" Su Lingxi's well-timed joke eased the increasingly heavy atmosphere in time.

Shen Man shrugged and laughed with her: "Maybe, you know, I also work very hard when I'm filming."

Recalling the atmosphere on the set of "Red Careerist", Su Lingxi deeply agreed: "I admit that this is indeed the truth."

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then smiled at the same time.

Su Lingxi looked into her deep smiling eyes and silently swallowed the words hidden in his throat - Have you ever regretted the choice you made back then?

Looking back from God's perspective now, this marriage seems like a sharp blade that cut off the bright path for a talented actress to climb up.

But life cannot be replayed, at least the feelings that one had at the time were real. For Shen Man, she has probably let it go.

There was no need for her to ask too much about the past that even the parties involved no longer cared about.

But... no wonder Ye Minglan once said, "Men are like subways. If you miss this one, the next one will come in five minutes." This famous quote from the ages was because she had witnessed with her own eyes how the failed marriages of people around her ended miserably.

So, a woman without career and power is like a fish without water; but if there is no man, at best she is like a fish without a bicycle.

Before falling asleep, lying on the comfortable big bed, Su Lingxi thought drowsily.

Of course, those few that she could get for free... No, the targets for gaining points were not so useless. They could barely be considered an underwater bicycle - the kind that could be ridden in water.

Seriously, with its host's dangerous ideas, can it really complete the strategy mission?

The system is skeptical.
