I was persecuted and turned into a teenage idol

Su Jian sat stiffly in her seat, and soon felt the makeup artist's hands begin to apply layers of cosmetics to her face.

This wasn't the first time she'd had makeup done; she was already used to being "tortured" like this.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I see myself becoming more and more refined with the help of makeup, my red lips are vibrant, and my skin is as smooth as jade.

A moment later, Su Jian, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly opened her eyes as if she had stepped into thin air.

The girl reflected in the mirror is now a fairy with a strong classical charm, as if she stepped out of a painting.

"Oh?"

Is this...me?

The reflection in the mirror was completely different from her usual cute style; it had transformed into a cool and aloof demeanor, even exuding a more mature aura than usual.

Su Jian blinked in surprise, her innocent and adorable look contrasting sharply with her "mature and sophisticated" appearance.

"Go try on the clothes now." The makeup artist gently patted her shoulder. "It's nine o'clock, the director and the others should be waking up soon."

"It's nine o'clock?!"

Seriously... I probably arrived at the set around 5 or 6 a.m., and this makeup took three or four hours to do?

Shocked, Su Jian finally understood why she had been getting sleepier and sleepier while doing her makeup; it had taken her several hours just to put on this one look...

"Huh?" Su Jian got up and turned around, and saw Ye Xing sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

His hands were crossed over his chest, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

This guy... gets tired too?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but grin, and leaned closer to startle the other person awake.

However, the moment he stretched out his arm, those eyes suddenly opened and stared at him.

"what?"

"..." Su Jian swallowed hard. "No!"

"All right?"

"Okay... Oh right! I still need to change my clothes."

"Let's go then."

He stood up briskly, not at all like someone who had just woken up.

Ye Xing turned and left, leaving Su Jian quite frustrated.

This guy is so alert? Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a soldier.

After finishing my makeup, I headed towards my next destination.

Just as Su Jian left the dressing room, she saw a woman casually walking over, surrounded by a group of assistants.

Judging from this setup, this person should also be an actor in this TV series.

Please forgive Su Jian for not knowing much about the entertainment industry, so her knowledge of celebrities is limited to those very popular veteran stars, and she is not familiar with most of these new generation artists.

Why is it that everyone else has a dozen or so assistants, carrying large bags and small packages like an emperor?

But all I have is a deadbeat with no expression, who keeps finding ways to bully me all day long.

Su Jian felt even more depressed and had no choice but to head to the dressing room with her ancient-style makeup on.

"Hmm?" Walking towards the dressing room, surrounded by a dozen assistants, the female celebrity, wearing a newspaper-style tight shirt and sunglasses, looked up in confusion.

She watched Su Jian and Ye Xing leave, then turned to her assistant thoughtfully.

"Sister Jin, it's Su Jian from Cotton Candy Girls, a new idol who just debuted." The assistant, with her sharp eyes, immediately recognized her. "She's just a supporting actress, maybe the third or fourth female lead."

"Ah."

Upon hearing that the other party was just a minor supporting character, and some unknown "Cotton Candy Girl," they realized...

Jin Jie immediately lost interest, turned around disdainfully and walked into the makeup artist's room, not bothering to look at her again.

She had just gone inside when a tall, imposing figure suddenly walked in as well.

"Hmm?" Sister Jin turned around and glanced at him coldly, but when she saw him, she suddenly smiled as if he were a family member. "Oh, it's Brother Jiamu! You came so early?"

"Jin Qing?" Wei Jiamu walked in calmly, accompanied by two assistants.

His face held a mature and composed air, seemingly without much emotion. He simply nodded politely, which made Jin Qing involuntarily purse her lips.

However, she was well aware of the other person's status and popularity, and it was said that his background was also quite extraordinary...

Thinking of this, Jin Qing rolled her eyes, completely different from her previous indifference, and started chatting in the dressing room with a charming and enthusiastic demeanor.

……

"Wow……!"

When Su Jian came out of the dressing room and saw herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The reflection in the mirror showed herself wearing a floor-length white tulle dress with black trim.

Wearing a waist-length waterfall wig, ancient-style makeup, and ethereal clothes.

Su Jian took the prop sword that the prop master used to decorate her, and when she looked up, she felt as if she were a fairy who had stepped out of an ancient painting!

"director!"

Just as she was standing in front of the mirror, somewhat basking in her own beauty, picking up a corner of her skirt with her fingers, a sound suddenly came from beside her.

Su Jian immediately turned her head and saw an old man with a full head of curly hair walk in.

"Understood!" Noticing Ye Xing's signal, Su Jian immediately stepped forward. "Hello, Director! I am Su Jian, the actress who plays Li Shui'er."

"Hmm..." The director didn't seem to recognize him.

After all, China is a very large country. Some celebrities seem incredibly popular online, as if everyone knows them, but in reality, very few people may actually recognize them.

For these older generations, idols like themselves, who are popular among young people, are completely unfamiliar; even if they've seen them before, they might not recognize them.

“You’re playing Li Shui’er…” The director yawned as he intently glanced at himself a few times, then shook his head. “The makeup is wrong, the clothes are wrong, and the demeanor… is wrong too.”

"what?"

Su Jian was a little nervous for a moment.

The director immediately waved and summoned the prop master and costume designer.

"Change her into a black outfit, something alluring and wicked."

“And another thing.” He turned to look at himself, “Li Shui’er is a villain. She is extremely ruthless and alluring. Your temperament is too innocent.”

Huh? Naïve? Me?

Su Jian looked at herself in astonishment, never expecting that those two words could be used to describe her.

Damn it... If it weren't for the oppression of capitalists and the presence of Ye Xing, that plague god, watching me from the sidelines, I would be wilder than anyone else!

The reality is that I have to play the role of a cute teenage idol all the time.

Su Jian felt Ye Xing's gaze and nodded obediently, starting to ponder: "Director, do you mean... to look a little bad?"

“That’s right.” The director nodded. “Remember, you’re the villain. You have to make the audience hate you! That way, they’ll feel satisfied when you’re punished in the end, and our ratings will be high!”

"Uh... okay!"

I had a superficial understanding of what it felt like to be the character I was supposed to play.

While spreading her arms and letting the stylist choose clothes for her, Su Jian began to think about how to look a little "bad".

Is it bad?

That's easy...

After changing into the new clothes given to her by the production crew, Su Jian walked out of the dressing room with a wicked smile.

"Director, is this alright?" She curled her lips into a smirk and raised her head arrogantly.

"It's bad, not brain-damaged." The director shook his head. "Anyway, it just needs to be close enough to make the audience hate it."

After saying that, the director turned around and sat down, leaving Su Jian looking completely bewildered.

So... this director wasn't planning on making it seriously after all!

"Oh, right!" The director turned around again after taking a few steps. "Go to the dressing room and put on black lipstick."

"it is good……"

I feel like I'm just a tool, being bossed around.

Su Jian glanced at Ye Xing, and the two of them had no choice but to prepare to return to the dressing room again.

But just then, more than a dozen figures suddenly rushed in from outside the door. The leaders were a man and a woman, who were Jin Qing and Wei Jiamu from earlier.

Huh? How did they get here so fast?

Su Jian looked up blankly and noticed that their makeup was very light.

Being a big star is great; they can just make do with their makeup.

"Director." The two greeted the director, and then noticed Su Jian standing opposite them.

"Hello, senior!" Ye Xing glanced at her, and Su Jian immediately and politely clasped her hands together and bowed. "I'm Su Jian, a new actress. Please take care of me in the future..."

"Please change it for me."

Before he could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted.

Su Jian was stunned. She saw Jin Qing walk past her without even glancing at her and go to the costume designer.

"Wei Jiamu." Another male actor, who looked to be around thirty years old, gave him a curt reply before leaving indifferently.

This is the first time I've ever experienced being neglected, ignored, and "bullied."

Su Jian gave a stiff smile, suddenly remembering how she often did the same thing when she was still an office worker.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he resigned from the company and completely exploded.

At that time... I thought I would never be oppressed again, never be someone's slave again, but I never expected...
