After Reuniting with My Aloof Movie Queen Childhood Friend

Ji Youyi, a world renowned director, died from overwork and transmigrated into the body of a failing starlet in a parallel world. The original owner of the body was notorious, buried in debt and had driven herself to suicide out of desperation. When Ji Youyi woke up, the internet was already flooded with vitriol against her.

Having achieved fame at a young age in her past life, Ji Youyi wasn’t afraid of a little storm. She planned to return to her old profession, conquer the industry, and pave a glorious new path, only to realize she was so broke her bank accounts were frozen and she couldn’t even afford a taxi.

Fortunately, she managed to “scam” a wealthy lady. Relying on her superb acting skills and incredible thick-skinned persistence, she’s not only hitched a ride but even swindled a high-end outfit out of her. Ji Youyi was deeply moved. Patting her chest, she promised the beautiful, “more money than sense” older sister: “I, Ji Youyi, always repay a debt. I’ll definitely cast you in my films. I won’t stop until I’ve turned you into a Triple Crown Movie Queen!”

“Is that so?” Meng Xingshu, who had already achieved a “Grand Slam” of top acting awards eight years ago, quietly closed the profile she just received on her phone and replied calmly, “Then I shall look forward to it.”

One day, Ji Youyi was scouting for a female lead for her new project. Amidst a blizzard of resumes, she’s unexpectedly found Meng Xingshu’s.

The highly respected Teacher Meng spoke composedly: “I am experienced, my acting is good, my status is high enough to carry a show, I attract traffic and I pull in investment. Most importantly, you said you’d make me a Triple Crown Movie Queen. Shouldn’t the lead role be mine?”

Little Ji: “?? But this is just a web drama.”

A director is busy, socializing with investors, coaching actors, reviewing scripts, discussing storyboards with the DP, and haggling over budgets with the producer. Meng Xingshu understood, so she waited patiently.

She was used to waiting.

On her birthday, she waited a day and a night, only to receive news that Ji Youyi was having dinner with a popular starlet. The starlet’s new drama had flopped, and she was crying piteously. Director Ji had rushed over the moment filming wrapped. Truly a kind soul.

In the final minutes of that day, Ji Youyi finally arrived, smelling of an unfamiliar perfume. Meng Xingshu didn’t ask. She feigned ignorance, put on her usual gentle smile and took the girl into her arms. But after Ji Youyi left, Meng Xingshu sat silently in the dark for a long, long, long time.

She finally figured it out.

She asked Ji Youyi with a smile. “Is it true that whoever is more ‘pitiful’ is the one you stay beside?” She should have known. Her Yiyi had always been like this, ever since they were children.

After her younger sister went missing, Meng Xingshu thought her life had only one path left, kill the enemy, then herself.

But in the 19th year of her hopeless search, her Yiyi appeared again.

She had hardly changed. She was still cheerful, brilliant, kind and full of vibrant life. Yet she had changed a lot. She was covered in scars she wouldn’t talk about, exhausted but forcing herself to be strong.

She refused her money, her help, and the jobs she offered. But it didn’t matter. Meng Xingshu could still nurse her back to health, just like when they were little.

Except, it would be even better if she could belong to her again, just like when they were little.
