Shen Mingjue had arranged for her to play the role of the little fairy, seeing that the character was very likable and would definitely become popular if portrayed well.
According to the plan, she was supposed to strike while the iron was hot, capitalizing on the immense popularity to establish herself as a pure, cute, and innocent fairy.
Shen Mingjue and Xinghuo Media, along with their hired trolls and marketing accounts, were ready. They were waiting for the little fairy's tragic demise, anticipating the audience's collective tears and sympathy, which would then be amplified by a massive surge on trending topics, catapulting An Qiuyan to stardom.
Who would have thought that An Qiuyan would self-destruct at such a crucial juncture? Her scheme to frame someone else backfired, engulfing her instead.
Upon her rebirth, An Qiuyan learned of this incident and, seeing how popular the little fairy role had become, was filled with immense anger and resentment.
An Qiuyan hated herself with a burning passion but was powerless to do anything, resorting only to curses to vent her frustration.
Compared to the loss of the role, Jian Zhou's indifference was even more alarming to her.
An Qiuyan, poisoned by the ideology of her dysfunctional family and eccentric relatives from a young age, believed that a woman's success was less important than marrying well.
What was the point of a thriving career? Marrying a good husband was far more substantial.
Therefore, after being reborn, An Qiuyan still wished to change her life through a wealthy marriage.
Based on the bitter lessons of her past life, An Qiuyan's primary target for marriage now was Jian Zhou.
As the second young master of the Jian family, the nation's richest, he was destined to be the sole heir to trillions in wealth after Jian Fan and Jiang Yushuang's fatal car accident. He was, without a doubt, a super catch.
If she could marry Jian Zhou, not only would she reach the pinnacle of her life, but she could also take revenge on Shen Mingjue for abandoning her. It was a win-win situation.
She was determined to marry Jian Zhou this lifetime, unaware that he was no longer the same person as before. Her calls were blocked, her WeChat requests rejected, and even her Weibo following was restricted.
Seeing that her online advances were fruitless, An Qiuyan decided to find Jian Zhou and pursue a relationship offline.
However, Jiang Yushuang, who detested her, had already instructed the security personnel not to allow her anywhere near the Jian residence.
Meanwhile, Jian Zhou, seeking to alter his fate through Jiang Ling's unique good fortune, wore a mask whenever he went out, fearing his parents' discovery and potential interference.
An Qiuyan searched for him repeatedly, scrutinizing almost all of Jian Zhou's past life connections, but still couldn't find him.
...
After the little fairy's death, the atmosphere of "Little Fish and Flowers Disappeared" completely shifted from comedy to tragedy.
Xiao Yu'er was consumed by grief and despair, losing all will to live and actively seeking death.
Simultaneously, Jiang Ling, playing another role, Jiang Yuyan, quietly stepped onto the stage, poised to replace the powerful eunuch Liu Xi as the ultimate villain of the entire series.
Witnessing Jiang Yuyan's cleverness in deciphering the Liu Ren Shen Dice, a trait no less impressive than Xiao Yu'er's, viewers couldn't help but ask: "Why wasn't Xiao Yu'er paired with Jiang Yuyan?"
In fact, this question had been posed by netizens in the previous life as well.
Jiang Yuyan possessed both high emotional intelligence and intelligence, and in the later stages, she managed to manipulate the protagonists with ease.
In terms of both cunning and capability, she and Xiao Yu'er could be considered rivals of equal standing.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to pair two intelligent individuals, a strong alliance?
After transmigrating into the book, since the little fairy and Jiang Yuyan were played by the same actress, and the trope of body doubles had been popular in recent years, the audience couldn't help but imagine. Xiao Yu'er, heartbroken by the loss of the little fairy, would mistake Jiang Yuyan for her replacement. Thus, these two unfortunate souls, who had both lived difficult lives, found solace in each other.
