Hearing winter leave, I woke up from a certain month of a certain year.

In the face of the world, we needed to make too many choices, and every decision changed the direction of the future. No matter whether we were determined or hesitant, we would eventually go to one of the roads and then meet the next choice. Life was full of uncertainty, and the result of the choice may not come as scheduled, but we could not forget the place we had originally wanted to arrive because of too many choices.

On July 16th, 2006, Li Muqing opened her eyes as usual and looked at the strange but familiar environment in surprise. The distant memories appeared in real life. Pushing open the bedroom door, an old clock hung on the yellowing white wall of the living room, striking again and again. The calendar next to it was clear to the eye. The line of numbers calmly told her: This was not a prank, but she really went back to 23 years ago, back to the summer vacation when she was 16.

Wait! The 16th day of 23 years ago, July... the 16th of July. This day seemed to be related to someone she cared a lot about. It seemed that something terrible happened during that summer vacation. The impact was so great that even she, who had nothing to do with it, could not escape.

She focused and got closer to the truth! That summer vacation, she... and him... right! It's that person, it's him!

Recalling that part of history, Li Muqing sucked in a breath of cold air. She leaned against the wall, with her almond eyes wide open. Her intelligent eyes trembled continuously, flickering with pieces of light. Her expression was full of regret.

Fortune truly toyed with people! She was still a few days late!

However, even if she came back earlier, she could not change the fate of the two teenagers with her current ability.

On July 16, 2006, the top Chinese female star You Ruohan committed suicide at home. It gave a heavy blow to the Chinese entertainment circle, which had been terrified because of all kinds of scandals. From that day on, the stock prices of various major films and investment companies fell sharply, leaving many people unable to recover from this setback.

However, three days later, July 19th, it was the day when You Ruohan's illegitimate son, Feng Yufei, joined Xingyun Entertainment to repay the debt of her mother and announced his official debut at the signing ceremony.

You Ruohan's death was still a mystery even when she was reborn. There were many speculations with all kinds of evidence, but in the end, they were all refuted by other evidence. After many years, other than the fact that she had touched the taboo, the public didn't know anything despite the passage of time.

For the entertainment industry, something was a taboo. If one was involved with it, one would be disdained by the public; or it could be something that couldn't be made known. In the case of You Ruohan, both explanations might work.

She rose too fast, and it seemed that she did not need to accumulate and store up power at all. The road to becoming a star was full of twists and turns, but other than the time when she turned against the top female star, she safely passed dangerous situations and even went up to the next level.

She couldn't achieve that without the support of Xingyun Entertainment behind her back.

Perhaps it was that power that kept suppressing the true cause of her death...

Back in the most turbulent year for the entertainment industry in 2006, the prosperity of the first half of 2006 seemed to be just to show how miserable You Ruohan was when she died.

From the overwhelming sales at the box office in May to the exposure of the scandal in June, the situation instantly became worse, and then to the sudden death of You Ruohan in July... Things happened quickly and frequently, and many people did not have time to react. Li Muqing combined the news and speculations of more than ten years later and looked back at this period of history. When thinking about it carefully, she vaguely had a terrible illusion, which made her shudder.

The big events and small matters constantly foreshadowed and gathered momentum, finally pointing the spearhead at her, pushing her into a situation where she could not argue. With such a layout and ability, if they wanted to subvert the entire Chinese entertainment circle, they would probably be able to do it.

It was just that why did they kill a top star in China so rudely and brutally, regardless of the consequences?

There was no winner!

This was one of the reasons why the impact of You Ruohan's incident lasted for so many years and made so many people puzzled.

The first step on the path of return had already been missed. For him, she inevitably had to walk into this vortex. She was afraid that she would clash with this force in the future. Did she have any hope of winning?

Even someone as powerful as You Ruohan had been defeated. Even if Li Muqing clearly grasped the trend of the entertainment industry in the future, she did not have the confidence to be on par with her before the age of 30. Her only advantage was that she knew the character of that person and the changes in the future better than anyone else. If she could ally with someone powerful, she might not lose!

Li Muqing was reborn. There were some things that she could solve on her own. She could also protect some people. As for the storm, let it come!

Thinking of that gentle but firm gaze, Li Muqing's heart couldn't help but beat faster!

Peerless young master.

No other words in this world could describe him more accurately.

Right now, he was still a little immature without the supreme charm of the future Prince Charming, but she still could not wait to see him.

As the red sun rose, its light shone, and that person's glory could be seen at a glance.

Experiencing his past, sharing their future, standing side by side with him on top of the peak, and looking at the clouds, what a beautiful vision this was.

Three days later, at this time, the person Li Muqing was thinking about was at a signing ceremony's backstage. He was looking at the manuscript orderly, preparing for the upcoming questions and troubles. Half an hour later, he would appear at the event site, sit in front of the platform together with Feng Yufei, who owed hundreds of millions of yuan debt and signed with his mother's old boss to pay for his mother's debt, and face the bombardment of a group of entertainment reporters.

In Li Muqing's memory, Feng Yufei was a very unfortunate character. He was good-looking and extremely talented. Sadly, he was controlled by the agent company all his life. In addition, he had bad character and acted mischievously. In the end, just like her male god, he was pushed out of the market by a group of younger stars. He had no choice but to quit silently without any further news.

A boring game!

And yet, the persons watching it enjoyed it a lot...

Feng Yufei, who was sitting solemnly on the rostrum, had been tormented by his agent company for three days. Exhausted, he still forced a smile and put on a happy look in front of the media.

She did not care about others' situations. She just wanted to end this boring drama as soon as possible and go back to plan how to repay this damn debt before the age of 30!

Life is like this, rising and falling, and then falling and falling...

If someone were to observe Feng Yufei carefully, they would discover that this harmless-looking young man was smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Different from his youthful appearance, there was a calm or impatient heart hidden under such an unbridled and ostentatious appearance.

Although today was Xingyun Entertainment's traditional newcomer signing ceremony for the media, this year was very special, essentially a change of topic that the company had to do due to the pressure of You Ruohan's death.

No matter in which circle, people who could change the topic and attention of the public must have extraordinary ability and fame. People with such abilities always came late. Therefore, Feng Yufei was not interested in the newcomers around him who were waiting to sign the contract.

Feng Yufei was just a newcomer who had just debuted. No matter how good she looked, those entertainment reporters couldn't take a second look at her unless she was courting death and exposed her disgraceful identity.

She sat quietly in her seat and didn't seem to notice the gazes of the people around her.

It was said that people in the same industry were enemies. Everyone was a newcomer, but the resources were allocated differently. The time left for them to fail was only a short three years. It was necessary to figure out the details of their competitors. This circle was like this. They were clearly not familiar with each other, but their hostile relationship had already been established.

"She is here! She is here!"

"It really is Shen Moyun!"

"Tsk tsk! President Zhang is still so capable. In the end, Shen Moyun still chose Xingyun Entertainment."

Amidst the exclamations and discussions of the entertainment reporters, the protagonist of the signing ceremony made a high-profile appearance.

There were many similarities between Shen Moyun in the entertainment reporter's mouth and You Ruohan. For example, they were both 19 years old when entering the industry and started from TV dramas. They both became famous overnight... Shen Moyun had been working hard silently for five years even when she advanced to the second tier. Last year, through a modern city drama, she once again grew famous, becoming a new and popular actress at present.

All the media present knew very well that Shen Moyun was just a chess piece that Xingyun Entertainment had supported to replace You Ruohan and snatch back the lost resources.

However, there were too many uncertainties in this circle. Perhaps one day, the small chess piece would turn the situation around and become a superstar. Therefore, all the reporters present gave Shen Moyun enough respect. They took photos and asked questions, flattering her like she was a first-tier star.

You Ruohan was the four most popular actresses last year and had been receiving this title three years in a row. Just as she was about to advance and completely pull apart the gap between her and the other three, she died, which was sad and regretful.

Except the late You Ruohan, the new four most popular actresses were all signed with companies. Xingyun Entertainment could only turn its eyes to the stars at the next level. In the end, it selected Shen Moyun who had been working hard but had bad luck since entering the industry. On one hand, it was because she became famous for the role given by Xingyun Entertainment. With this, it was much easier to handle things. On the other hand, her newcomer contract was just about to expire and her former company was not capable, so signing her would not offend too many people.

If Shen Moyun could maintain this momentum and rely on Xingyun Entertainment, a big tree, plus the planning of the executive president behind the scenes, it would be possible for her to replace You Ruohan as a superstar in ten years.

"Excuse me, An Zidong, are you coming back on a long-term contract this time, or are you only signing the contract to help Xingyun Entertainment come over this crisis?"

The reporter's question made the atmosphere of the signing ceremony suddenly change. Many people were shocked by his question, while Feng Yufei was stimulated by that name.

Feng Yufei, who had an air of superiority, habitually turned to look at the person who asked the question after hearing the name. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the target of the question, An Zidong. Feng Yufei's action became particularly conspicuous in An Zidong's eyes.

Feng Yufei immediately came back to her senses and tried to hide her fluctuating thoughts and embarrassment. She looked at An Zidong like the others, but met An Zidong's gaze.

Fair and translucent skin, outstanding facial features, and cool, moon-like temperament. An Zidong firmly remembered this new fellow disciple with a single glance.

On the other side, Feng Yufei was surprised by the youth and calmness of the person called An Zidong, whose appearance and temperament were automatically blocked by her.

An Zidong blinked his eyes and slowly picked up the microphone, "Of course, I am serious when I do things."

He did not directly answer the reporter's question, but he also rejected the opposite answer.

People had reputations just like how trees had shadows. Even though An Zidong, the "music prodigy", had been silent for many years, he still came out on the second tier. The company and the team naturally put a lot of effort into him. There was no way to get any big news from him. The entertainment reporters had no choice but to turn their questions to Shen Moyun again.

Time passed by at this pace, and the signing ceremony was relatively easy. The main attention of the scene was attracted by Shen Moyun and An Zidong.

Because of her outstanding appearance, Feng Yufei was also asked a few casual questions by some reporters. During this time, she was affected by the name "An Zidong" for a few seconds. But after she adjusted her mood, the whole process quickly passed.

Seeing that the press conference was about to end, Xingyun Entertainment's activity planning and executive officer heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The contract this time was the result of the struggle between Xingyun Entertainment and the various forces in the circle over the past five days - re-dividing the market share.

The cake had been divided. During the discussion, everyone might have been in a heated argument. But now, all the forces were very happy. No one had jumped out to make trouble. It could be said that everyone was happy.

"Alright, reporters. Today's question session is over. Please return to your seats." The host interrupted the reporters' questions, cleared his throat, and shouted, "Next, we will enter the final signing session. Let us applaud to welcome Xingyun Entertainment's board of directors and executive president, Zhang Ji, President Zhang, to come up to the stage and sign the contract with the new partner!"

Amidst the chaotic and warm applause, the boss of Xingyun Entertainment, Zhang Ji, dressed in a black suit and walked up straightly to the rostrum. He walked to the stars and shook hands with them one by one. After sitting down, he took the signature pen handed by the etiquette lady and signed the contract. Finally, he took flowers and took photos with the stars.

Fifteen minutes later, the signing ceremony that had lasted for nearly two hours finally came to an end.

"Thank you for your hard work today!" Zhang Ji held the host's hand and patted his shoulder to thank him.

"President Zhang, you are too polite!" Li Junhua, in his early thirties, was currently the host of Central TV. Last year, he took the baton to host the Spring Festival Gala. He was present today because of Zhang Ji's invitation.

"No! This signing ceremony will be hard to deal with. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have coped with such a big scene. I will remember your help! I have something to do later. Let's find another time to have a drink!" Zhang Ji approached him and patted him on the shoulder again to express his gratitude. Then he stopped smiling, looked at Feng Yufei coldly, and took the lead to walk back to the backstage.

"It's okay! You go ahead! My assistant and I will pack up and go back to the station!" Li Junhua said with a smile.

"Okay! Call me later!" Before turning around, Zhang Ji looked at him seriously for a few seconds.

Li Junhua nodded, "Definitely!"

Three days ago.

Pan Yumei, with heavy makeup, followed the address given by Zhang Ji to New York and found You Ruohan's illegitimate son, Feng Yufei. At that time, Li Muqing had just been reborn.

Coincidentally, Li Muqing had been reborn and Feng Yufei had time-space traveled on the same day.

Compared with the common ways of time-space travel in the 21st century, Feng Yufei's time-space travel might have been the wrong opening of the script, or the main character of the story was the reborn Li Muqing, so the supporting characters were not so attentive, causing mistakes to her gorgeous time-space travel.

It was fine if I became a supporting role, but you even changed my gender. How careless were you, or how much you disliked me!

As the saying goes, if you didn't work hard in life, how could you have a taste of despair?

Illegitimate son, bearing a debt... Pan Yumei's purpose for coming knocked out Feng Yufei who had just time-space traveled.

"Well... If I sign the contract, how much do I owe?" Feng Yufei, who had been crushed, asked helplessly.

Pan Yumei pushed her heavy sunglasses, opened her red lips, and said a number that broke her heart, "At least one hundred million!"

"Hey! I'll continue to sleep for a while. Maybe after I woke up, everything would be fine!" Feng Yufei said weakly.

Pan Yumei looked at the young man in front of her with a blank expression, "I'm sorry! We don't have time to waste here. Three days later is the signing ceremony, and there is also the farewell ceremony to your mother's body. So you must pack your things and come back with me right now!"

"I..." Feng Yufei subconsciously retorted but could not find any words.

"What are you talking about! Hurry up and pack up your things!" Pan Yumei raised her eyebrows and glared at Feng Yufei.

Speaking of You Ruohan, Pan Yumei was sad and angry.

"What's the matter with you dying just like that? We've worked together for so long, yet you still didn't let me know that you had a son. You're not a qualified good friend! It's not like you don't know that I won't eat him up!" After being scolded by Zhang Ji for several days, when seeing Feng Yufei, Pan Yumei thought of You Ruohan, whom she had been deliberately avoiding for the past few days. Pan Yumei was full of grievances and had nowhere to tell.

Under the threat of Pan Yumei's fierce gaze, Feng Yufei brought the servant upstairs to pack up his things. After everyone left, Pan Yumei took off her sunglasses and carefully examined the furnishings of the house.

Under the sunglasses, Pan Yumei's eyes were black and blue, looking tired and sad. She sat on the sofa with exhaustion. She casually threw her sunglasses away and leaned her head against the back of the sofa. She looked up and was lost in thought.

God knows how hard Pan Yumei tried to blink to prevent her tears from falling.

"Clank!" Hearing the footsteps downstairs, Pan Yumei quickly grabbed her sunglasses and put them back on. Her expression returned to the cold and solemn one she had when coming here.

The two of them had two boxes, and under the storm of entertainment circles, Feng Yufei was brought back to China by Pan Yumei.
