My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady

However, Bo Yan was extremely indifferent and reserved. Despite being incredibly famous, he hardly fit in with others in the industry.

He was not at all like the other people in the circle.

He never hyped up scandals, didn't allow others to use his name for publicity stunts, and never took part in any variety shows. Even the interviews he couldn't refuse were strictly for promoting his works, and he wouldn't answer any questions unrelated to them.

One movie had catapulted him to the status of Best Actor, and since then, he had maintained a rhythm of two movies per year. While not exceptionally prolific, and having far less media exposure than other stars, his popularity never waned a bit.

Besides the time he spent on set, Bo Yan devoted most of his time to traveling and reading. His rare public appearances would always become phenomenally popular, even staying at the top of trending searches for more than half a month without irritating the public.

Xie Cheng occasionally thought Bo Yan was one of those extraordinarily favored by God, beloved by all and without any obstacles throughout his life, almost never encountering any setbacks.

This person, by nature, was too indifferent. In the eyes of outsiders, he always appeared noble and refined, ever so reserved, and even somewhat stiff, yet his manners were impeccable.

When facing his fans, he would interact with them. It wasn't very warm, but it never made anyone feel uncomfortable. He would accept fans' gifts with thanks, but once back in the office, he'd simply place them on the desk and forget about them. Over eight years, his fans' gifts had filled three whole rooms at the company, yet he hadn't opened a single one.

Had Xie Cheng not spent years by his side, even he would have been deceived by Bo Yan's appearance.

Bo Yan was adept at handling the media. He would deflect their questions with ease. Occasionally, he would sincerely say, "I am very grateful that my fans like me, but I hope they don't spend too much on gifts, and just enjoy my work instead."

It wasn't that he despised his fans' kindness; it was mainly that he simply wasn't interested in anything or anyone at all.

Indifferent...

The reason he entered the industry and started acting was just out of curiosity for something he had never tried before. However, he didn't expect to shoot to stardom overnight. Since then, his reputation only grew, his fan base expanded, but he became more and more isolated and detached.

Bo Yan looked up from the script, his indifferent expression unfazed, and stared at Xie Cheng, "I won't tear it down, nor will I look at it!"

"If your fans knew the truth, I wonder how disappointed they would be. Tell me, do you think you could then step down from this pedestal and never climb back up?"

Bo Yan had a flash of realization, "You're worried about me becoming unemployed, that you'll starve to death?"

Xie Cheng: "..." When did I ever say that?

"Oh, so you're really worried about yourself. After all, my unemployment is different from yours. I have enough money to spend for ten lifetimes and still have leftover, but you...!"

Xie Cheng: "..." This is unbearable.

The point was, he was speechless. Bo Yan's character was so abominable that he truly wished he could open his fans' eyes to see that their idol was nothing but a beast in human clothing!

...

On the day Yuran started school, she turned down her mother's offer to accompany her and took the admission notice to the school herself. Looking around the lively and youthful campus, her smile never stopped.

With a slight upward curve of her lips, Weiwei raised her eyes to greet the sunbeams filtering through the gaps in the wutong trees, thinking that rebirth felt wonderful indeed!

Not far away, a student from another school's photography department captured this moment in their camera.

Nobody would have imagined that, months later, this photo would explode in popularity on an online forum, but that's a story for another time.
