Xinran walked into the café located on the fifth floor, where soft European-style music floated in the air. There were many customers, but as soon as she glanced up, she spotted Augus. A man like him was like a star, his brilliance hard to conceal. 0
 
"Have you been waiting long?" Xinran asked softly as she sat down across from Augus. 0
 
"Not long. As your boyfriend, it's only natural for me to wait for my girlfriend!" Augus replied with a smile in his eyes, looking at Xinran. 0
 
"Well, that's truly my honor! Big star, let's stop the small talk and tell me what scheme you have this time?" Xinran didn't shy away from Augus's gaze; instead, she locked her eyes onto his, trying to read something from them. 0
 
"Woman, if I said that I took on 'Diamond Absolute Love' for you this time, would you believe me?" 0
 
"That depends on how you plan to convince me..." A waiter brought Xinran her Irish Coffee. She rested her chin on one hand and stirred the coffee lightly with a spoon. Just moments ago on the phone, Augus had mentioned ordering her favorite Irish Coffee. She admitted that for a second, she felt quite vain; a man like Augus actually remembered her favorite coffee. The opportunities for them to drink coffee together were few and far between—only once or twice. 0
 
"Alright! Because I promised you that I would help you become famous, this is an opportunity. If we collaborate as a couple, my fame can help you gain recognition. That's my reason for acting first and explaining later!" Augus elegantly picked up his coffee cup and took a sip before gazing at Xinran thoughtfully. 0
 
After hearing Augus's heartfelt words, Xinran smiled charmingly. "So what's your ultimate goal?" 0
 
"What a clever woman you are; nothing escapes your notice..." Augus chuckled. "I want us to appear loving both on and off screen; that way, it will serve his purpose perfectly!" 0
 
"Fine, I agree. I won't back out of this role; I'll take it!" Although she didn't know who the mysterious person was behind Augus who hoped for his lifelong solitude—or even if such a person existed—she felt fortunate to have reached this point with Augus because of someone so ambiguous. Thus, she had already made up her mind to continue with the project; she was determined to see it through. 0
 
As Jerry said, why should she give up something that could only benefit her? As for Dong Shan Zhong, let him think of her as a fickle person; after all, he was the investor of this project. Besides, he had already stated that she had absolute autonomy over this production. Now that she planned to return to the set, it could be considered exercising that autonomy! 0
 
"Summer, I like your decisiveness! I believe this project will definitely lead to significant progress in your career!" 0
 
 
"Hopefully so!" — 0

"Xinran, I'm really glad you could come back." 0
 
"Chen Dao, your words make me feel quite embarrassed. It's my inconsistency that has caused you trouble!" The next day, Xinran was picked up by Augus's chauffeur to join the crew, and thus began the filming of this drama. 0
 
"No, no, no, you are my lucky star! Because of you, Augus is willing to film. Having such an international superstar supporting my new project is truly an honor!" 0
 
"Where? Chen Dao, you're being too flattering!" 0
 
After some polite exchanges with Chen Dao, Xinran went to the makeup room with Wu Jie to get ready for their first scene. This time, since she and Augus were playing the male and female leads of the drama, she undoubtedly had a rather luxurious makeup room all to herself. 0
 
With Augus's sudden addition, according to usual practice, he could have only made a guest appearance in a role. However, because this rare star who seldom filmed a series actively requested to join, the director was thrilled and negotiated with the company to demote the originally intended male lead Qin Nan to a supporting role, while the original female lead Gujialan was also demoted to a secondary role. 0
 
Gujialan had her own pride; she could not accept being overshadowed by Xinran and becoming her supporting character. Thus, she followed Xinran's previous path and resigned. The director's team quickly approved her resignation without any attempts to retain her. 0
 
When Xinran heard this news from Jerry, she felt a wave of helplessness. In this way, she had unintentionally offended Gujialan. Initially, she had kept quiet about her injury caused by wanting to work harmoniously with her. But now, due to a twist of fate, she had offended her again. It seemed that her previous suffering had been in vain! 0
 
If she had known better when Dong Shan Zhong suggested that she kick Gujialan out of the crew, she would have agreed right away; after all, offending someone was still offending someone regardless of how it happened! 0
