Then it was time to announce the best actor. "The winner of this year's Best male lead award is... Shen hua!" The  narrator spoke enthusiastically. The band played for a while but no one came up to receive the award. "Um... Shen hua?" The narrator asked as the camera moved around to look for him.

Mo Yazhu was confused. This didn't happen in her past life. Was she rewriting history and if so, why Shen hua? She never met him in this  life or the last. She didn't see why she would affect his history as well. Just as she thought, the hall became filled with incomprehensible murmurs. The narrator coughed awkwardly as she put down the award. "It seems our award winner  isn't here. He'll get his another time."

The narrator quickly finished her speech and then brought out the award for best female lead. Mo Yazhu's breath hitched in her throat along with the other Actresses.

Chang shuren held her breath praying that it would be anyone but Mo Yazhu. How embarrassing would it be if her best friend won two important awards and she wasn't even nominated! Her hands were clasped together along with Mo Yazhu and the other actresses there. The narrator opened the envelope and smiled to herself. "The winner of this year's best female lead is..." The camera zoomed in on the actresses faces. They tried to look as relaxed as possible but the camera captured their nervousness. "The winner of this year's best female lead is... Mo Yazhu!" 

Mo Yazhu sighed in her heart as Chang shuren's face paled. Luckily she wouldn't look out of place because other people were just as shocked as her. The event eventually ended and the place was even more full with reporters than earlier. Chang shuren tried looking for Mo Yazhu afterall, she was the reason she could come to such a prestigious event in the first place. She entered the crowd and was immediately pushed about by the group of people. She was not a nominee of the event and she wasn't with any of them either so not much of the pushing crowd cared to know she was. A camera was pointed at Liao yaling, a senior actress. She would be considered a veteran because of how long she had been in the industry despite her being not really young. A reporter put his mic in front of her face asking "Miss liao, how does it feel that you were beaten by a newbie?" Mo Yazhu came out just then and overheard the reporter.  

Although Mo Yazhu hadn't been in the industry for as long as Liao yaling, she wouldn't be considered new. If she had to count from this timeline, she would've been in the industry for up to or more than two years. Winning such an award  was still too impressive regardless but not a lot of people could say she didn't deserve it. A lot of people had been watching and supporting her progress since she debuted. One of those people was Liao yaling. 

She flashed a smile at Mo Yazhu and spoke in a respectful manner., "There's a lot of young promising talents in the field now. Us old cows can't keep the meadow forever." Liao yaling wasn't old but it was clear she wanted to protect Mo Yazhu. Other directors and senior actors also praised Mo Yazhu in front of the camera. Her competition were either too tired, annoyed or embarrassed to talk much so they all left quickly. This was the beginning of her fame!

Chang shuren had sprained her ankle amongst the crowd and she hung on to a tree for support as she looked at Mo Yazhu indignantly. After thanking and giving a small  speech to the crowd, Mo Yazhu entered her car. Chang shuren glared at her and their eyes met. Chang shuren felt like she was being looked down at with disgust and...hatred?" Soon the car closed up and she couldn't fully grasp the  feeling. Chang shuren was not dumb. She could obviously tell something was wrong with Mo Yazhu but she couldn't tell what. Her heart felt panicked and she made a call to someone who might understand....Mo liuxian, Mo Yazhu's half sister.

In the deep night, a black car drove slowly on the road. Inside was Liao yaling giggling and fiddling with her nails. The person on the line seemed to cringe from her voice. "What did you call me for?" A deep uninterested voice rang from the other end. "I wanted to share some spoils." "Okay,I'm  hanging up." The other party sounded annoyed. "Wait! I'm trying to help you! Guess who won best female lead?" "Did you call me to brag?" "No. Her name's a little Mo.....
