1. What if?

The capital city was always extremely hot in the month of June. Ning Xi came out of the airport and searched among the crowd, spotting a young man in a white shirt wearing black-rimmed sunglasses holding a signboard in his hand. Her name was written on the board, so she walked towards the man. Wang […]

2. Dazzling goddess

Ning Xi took a taxi to the company. Before she took a few steps, she saw Zhang Qingyun waiting downstairs for her. Zhang Qingyun was slightly over thirty but he gave a solid and reliable feeling to others. When she saw him, he also spotted her. He stubbed out the cigarette his hand and threw […]

3. Good times

Zhou Zhengchuan had seen many types of beautiful women – pure, spicy, fiery, all kinds. He was astonished not because Ning Xi was more beautiful than other actresses he had seen, but because she was exactly how he had envisioned her character in his mind. As a dedicated actor, each time he went in front […]

4. The enthusiastic literary director

Ning Xi spent the entire summer filming, waiting for all her scenes to be shot. By the time the crew had wrapped up the rest of the movie, it was already early autumn. After exiting the film city and boarding a plane back to the capital, Ning Xi finally relaxed, feeling relieved. To hurriedly catch […]

5. Teacher Yao

“Ning Xi, your acting was good just now, but you should have run a little slower.” The director looked at the screen and looked back at Ning Xi. “Shall we shoot again?” Ning Xi was gasping for breath. She lifted her face for the makeup artist to give her a touch-up and gave the director […]

6. Birthday party

Looking at the simple ‘Ning Xi’ on her microblogging account, she thought for a while and asked, “Brother Zhang, tell me, If I changed my name on the account to ‘Ning Xi Loves Eating Crystal Dumplings’, won’t I get more fans?” “What do you mean, ‘loves to eat’? Are you such a foodie?” Zhang Qingyun […]

7. Encounter

Because of Ning Xi’s arrival, all the men present became more enthusiastic, bringing her a glass of fruit juice, helping her around and basically providing the pinnacle of hospitality.

8. Reality show

Ning Xi attracted a little attention through ‘My Heart Longs for You‘ and for a while, her popularity rose. There were some curious fans who went to her Weibo page. They saw that the number of fans she had was only in three digits and she had posted nothing on Weibo. Out of sympathy, they developed […]

9. First meeting

“Turn this way! Yes! Smile more beautifully! More affectionate!” The advertising director had his eyes fixed on the screen, guiding Ning Xi through the megaphone. “Okay, done.” The director was very satisfied with Ning Xi’s understanding and intuition. “Let’s go near the sea, the air-blowers are ready.” Creamy-white legs, the boundless sea, eye-catching blood-red dress […]

10. The sad fan

After the reality show aired, because ‘My Heart Longs for You‘ was recently very popular, many fans watched the show that night which gave the episode high ratings. The people of the show were naturally very happy with the high ratings, but the heroine, Liang Qianya’s fans were not very happy. This was because they […]

11. Celebration

The fight between the fans of the three actors continued for a few days and finally died down. The crew of ‘My Heart Longs for You‘ held a celebration party. It was a good thing that there was no more trouble among the three actors. Although Ning Xi’s part was not much in the movie, […]

12. New shoot

“If you like cars, work hard to become popular and earn more money. So when you’re worth more, you can buy whatever car you want.” Zhang Qingyun opened the door of the car and Ning Xi got in. He leaned towards her and said, “But, if you like women, you have to do all that […]

13. Opportunity

“Respectfully greeting Imperial Father,” Princess Dangli, daughter of Emperor Wu of Han, performed a ritual. This represented both the dignity and etiquette of a princess, as well as the close relationship she shared with him. “Very good. Cut!” Teacher Xu waved his hand at the crew. Ning Xi turned to see Zhou Haili trembling as […]

14. Fairy

Real beauty was not skin-deep. Qian Cong Hai, for the role of Fairy Qingya, had invited so many outstanding actresses to audition, but these people lacked the feeling he wanted. He had seen the figures of immortals, goddesses and fairies on murals and paintings. Though the features were vague due to years of erosion, the […]

15. Dinner

“It’s alright. I wasn’t careful.” Ning Xi looked up and saw a man wearing a pair of black shoes and a black suit. Behind him were several people dressed identically and professionally. All eyes fell on her as if she were the only light in the darkness. Her eyes were bright enough to dazzle their […]

16. Shooting

When the winter set in, snow fell on the city. Ning Xi received a notice from the crew of ‘Tán Hǎixiān jì’ which asked her to report to them. As far as the script for the movie went, she had got it all memorised. She had also read the original novel and many reviews of […]

17. Slipping on snow

Putting his cell phone down, Chang Shi Gui turned around to look out the window. Seeing the snow falling outside, his mood was somewhat low. “Boss?” His secretary knocked on his door and saw Mr Chang with his back to him, facing the window. He placed a couple of documents on the table. “The head […]

18. New year

“It’s not serious, just needs a disinfection.” The doctor used iodine to cleanse the wound and gave her two band-aids. “Don’t let the wound come in contact with water. Give all the work to your boyfriend for the next few days.” Ning Xi silently turned, forcing herself not to look at Chang Shi Gui, pretending […]

19. Schemes

The internet was very lively the first day of the new year. There were a lot of bored and idle netizens who kept sending out lists of artists who lip-synced in the Spring Festival Gala. Zhou Zhengchuan was on that list. Due to the fierce opposition of anti-fans, these artists were called disrespectful to the […]

20. Retreating tide

“Don’t be too worried about what they say on the internet,” Sun Yuhan walked up to Ning Xi and handed her a bottle of water. “Drink some water.” “Thank you, Sister Yuhan.” Ning Xi took the bottle and saw that it hadn’t been opened. Sun Yuhan was a very cautious person; she noticed all these […]
