"Are they… really in a relationship?" Mu Bai asked with her usual cold voice but the palpitation and nervousness in her voice was particularly evident.
Her long and slender fingers unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes tightly as she stared intently into the void, waiting for the answer from the system. She was hopeful yet also feared that the answer may not be as she is hoping and she knew deep in her heart that if that was the case, then the hurt she would feel would probably break her apart.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity has passed but actually just a second has passed,
The system 001 replied in a very enthusiastic voice,
"No, no, no… of course not!! ! Anyway, what's more important is that you, the host, currently possess the body of Mu Bai, the hidden wife of the rising star, Lin Fan. And Shen Ming is the white moonlight in the heart of Lin Fan."
Hearing what the system said, Mu Bai unconsciously felt relieved as her tightly clenched fingers loosened immediately. But hearing about her identity in this world, Mu Bai couldn't help but frown with visible disgust.
But her face was still as expressionless as before. Her voice contained a hint of coldness as she asked again,
"What's the task in this world?"
System 001, who has never encountered such a cold and frightening host, was really scared by her expression and couldn't help but stammer in response,
"It's… It's… to ensure that the female lead, Shen Ming, doesn't get deceived by the male lead of this world."
"I see…" Mu Bai said with a frosty expression on her face.
"!!!
System 001 was really getting scared by such a scary host!
"Wuuuwuu!! Why is my host so scary!!" The system couldn't help but think about how the other systems always seem to brag about how good their host was to them and that the hosts of the other systems are always polite and treat the system like a treasure!
The system was really aggrieved but it couldn't do anything about it. After all, who made her its host?
Mu Bai was still looking at the phone screen in her hand, particularly the picture of Shen Ming. Every time she glimpsed the beautiful woman in the picture, her heart beat seemed to increase tenfold.
Right now, all she wanted to do was to meet her. She wanted to see her. No matter what, she must see her!
Thinking this, Mu Bai didn't hesitate and wanted to get up but at that moment, the system tremblingly interrupted her,
"Umm… umm. H-host! I-I still haven't introduced the plot yet…"
Hearing what the system said, Mu Bai reluctantly sat down again as said with visible impatience in her voice,
"Go ahead…"
"Y-yes.. Host.."
Getting affirmation from host, The system immediately started recounting the plot of this world,
001: "The male lead Lin Fan comes from the wealthy Lin family in Suzhou. They are a family of business tycoons with most of their business being in asset management and real estate. While you, the host is the only daughter of the wealthiest Mu family in the entire Shanghai. The Mu family's main business lies in the entertainment industry having produced countless movie emperors and empresses who are now considered legendary icons in the entire industry, The Mu Family is second to none when it comes to the entertainment industry. Of course, the most notable factor in Mu Family's rise to fame and fortune is the founding matriarch of the Mu Family as in Mu Bai's grandmother , who was not only a genius businesswoman but also the most legendary movie director in the history of chinese film world.She came from a very ordinary family but built everything through her own hands. The Mu family also have many more businesses, ranging from real estate to financial investment etc. Anyway, this is the family background of the host and the male lead. You can see just from this description that the Lin family doesn't even come close to the Mu Family in terms of wealth and power."
Qiao Zhi listened to the words of the system with visible interest. She was particularly impressed by her as in Mu Bai's grandmother. Because, just like her, she also built her own future and fortune and power through her own hands. She was an orphan but later grew to be one of the most influential people in the entire Interstellar federation.
Anyway, that's not important right now. As what Mu Bai was most curious about was why the system introduced her and the male lead's family background and even made such a comparison.
Well, she didn't have to ask as the system already started saying with a rather visible excitement in its tone.
001: "When Lin Fan was in high school, he wanted to enter the entertainment industry. He was the second son of the Lin family, the eldest son was set to inherit the Lin family and become the next chairman. That's why Lin Fan was under no pressure to continue the family business and could pursue what he wanted. Lin Fan's parents agreed to let him enter the Shanghai Film and television institute without any objection and even supported him as much as they could and thus began the male lead's journey into the entertainment industry."
"What was even more incredible was the fact that, Lin Fan was actually quite talented in acting. And after entering the film and television institute, his acting talents were discovered and he was trained quite well by the teachers. In his junior years after graduating from the institute, the Lin family parents used a lot of money and connections to get him to be second male lead in a well known director's new movie which later won him the golden buzz award for the best supporting actor. He also gained quite a bit of fans from this movie and his popularity also increased quite a bit. Later, in his senior years, again, he got to be the second male lead for the country's one of the best director's much anticipated costume drama movie, 'The Rise of the Phoenix Empress (凰后崛起)'. It was in this drama that he met Shen Ming, the female lead that he fell for at first sight and became an obsessive and paranoid male lead, constantly troubling the female lead through varius means…
"Wait… " Mu Bai interrupted the system's heartfelt narration with a visible frown on her face. Her expression was still as cold as before but there was also a hint of confusion on her face which seemed to add a touch of vulnerable charm to her, making whoever looked upon her, unable to look away.
She asked calmly, "Mu Bai met Shen Ming in his senior years. Then, how did he end up marrying Mu Bai? Is it because, Shen Ming comes from a normal family that Lin Fan's parents don't agree to him marrying someone from a normal family and only want him to marry from the same status as him? Lin Fan couldn't bear the pressure and reluctantly gave up his white moonlight and married Mu Bai but still couldn't truly forget his white moonlight and thus joined this movie to create encounters between him and Shen Ming?"
