Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 797 - 799: Trailer

The two had been talking for a while when Qin Siqin was the first to snap out of her daze, immediately grabbing Jinxia’s arm and stuttering, "You, you and Sheng Yan are getting married?"

He Jinxia nodded.

Qin Siqin’s eyes still held a look of blank surprise; she had never imagined that the two would progress to the stage of marriage so quietly!

She had suspected that Jinxia knew Sheng Yan, and perhaps the two were dating. She had deliberately tested Yu Yanyu, suspecting that it hadn’t even been several months before they were already stepping into marriage. To say she wasn’t shocked would be impossible.

Yu Yanyu also came back to reality, swallowing hard, he stuttered, "You, you guys aren’t kidding me, right?"

He turned his head to look at Ren Xiao, vigorously shaking his arm, which also shook Ren Xiao’s whole body nonstop, "Today isn’t April Fool’s Day, is it? I’m not dreaming, am I?"

Ren Xiao was so shaken that he felt dizzy, "It’s the end of the year; there’s no April Fool’s Day. If you suspect you’re dreaming, pinch yourself. Ouch, why are you pinching me? Let go of me!"

Yu Yanyu sheepishly withdrew his hand, "I just hate pain..."

Qiu Zhenze was the last to react, but he was the one who assimilated the news best, calmly asking, "When next year? Do you need groomsmen?"

Yu Yanyu was reminded by this and quickly said, "I can be a groomsman!"

Everyone: "..."

It was the first time they’d seen someone so eager to be a groomsman, practically rushing to do it, probably the kind that couldn’t be chased away no matter what.

Sheng Yan’s gaze shifted toward Jinxia, eyes softening for a moment, "The date isn’t set yet. We’ll announce it when Jinxia becomes a front-liner."

In front of everyone, He Jinxia mustered the courage and smiled back at him, their eyes sharing a loving exchange that screamed ’lovey-dovey couple.’

The rest of the group felt a bit heartbroken by the display.

Originally, after finishing the hotpot, they had planned a second gathering, but because Jinxia suddenly announced her marriage with Sheng Yan, everyone was so startled that they just wanted to go home and be alone in their own space, so they parted ways early.

Sheng Yan and He Jinxia were the last ones, leaving behind everyone else.

In the empty corridor, their gentle conversation echoed—

"Why did you suddenly want to go public?"

"Yanyu is too sharp; we couldn’t have kept it a secret for long, so I just decided to go public."

"How do you feel, are you nervous?"

"What would you do if I said I was nervous?"

"I’d hug you."

"Hey, this is a corridor, you..."

All their words were drowned out among their lips and teeth.

Some steps had to be taken by her, and Sheng Yan had given her all his patience and companionship; He Jinxia didn’t want to let down his trust.

She loved him and wanted to announce to the world that this man was hers, to possess all of him, to be the only one in his eyes...

He had laid out the whole world before her, so how could she hesitate and keep missing out?

At that moment, He Jinxia suddenly felt she truly deserved Sheng Yan, a sense of belonging she had never felt before.

Sometimes, all that’s missing for two people to be together is the determination to take that step forward.

Career, she would seize.

Love, she would absolutely not miss out on it.

...

The next day, the family celebrated a joyful and festive New Year at home. Sheng Yan’s father also made a special trip, stating that by next year, he would be able to hand over his work and no longer live separately from Aunt Rui.

The two families also formally discussed how and where to hold Jinxia and Sheng Yan’s wedding ceremony.

Aunt Rui, knowing Jinxia’s previous concerns about not wanting to marry too early, asked with concern, "You’re planning to get married this year, but you said you wanted to become a top-tier star before getting married, otherwise going public would affect your career. Do you have any problems with that?"

He Jinxia smiled and said confidently, "Aunt Rui, I will become a top-tier star this year."

Mr. Sheng asked with curiosity, "You’re that confident?"

He Jinxia explained, "My popularity is already sufficient. In fact, I could have achieved promotion last year, but I always thought that I should earn this status through acting. This year, I’ve realized that time doesn’t come again. I may not be able to wait for a movie that would make me an overnight sensation. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

If I keep delaying, the popularity I’ve worked so hard to build will gradually dissipate, and I’ll miss a great opportunity. I want to seize this chance first, and then slowly strategize. My acting career is still very long; in fact, I don’t need to be so anxious. It’s better to let things take their natural course."

Last year, she had reached an agreement with Luo You: regardless of whether they encountered a big production, they must complete the promotion this year. This was the best opportunity, and missing it would mean truly missing out. There might not be another such good opportunity in the future.

Mr. Sheng nodded, "It’s good that you can see things that way. A person has many opportunities in life, but it’s about whether you can grasp them. Being too obsessed with one outcome can also lead to missing many opportunities."

In the evening, the group changed venues, moving from He Jinxia’s house to the upstairs residence of Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan’s house was a bit larger, and the elders engaged He Jinxia, the younger generation, in some casual games, while Sheng Yan was unanimously left out.

Because Sheng Yan was too skilled at card games and always managed to calculate the cards, playing with him resulted in more losses than wins, which was not much fun.

Sheng Yan, with no choice in such a situation and not wanting to be scolded by his mother for dealing with documents, simply turned on the television and started flipping through channels aimlessly.

He Jinxia hesitated between playing a King or breaking up a Queen for a sequence when suddenly, she heard a clear and melodious female voice:

"Emperor Bai Ze, what is a master, what is a disciple, what is family affection, and what is love?"

He Jinxia paused, feeling the dialogue was somewhat familiar.

"Yuxiang, that’s a nice name, but it clashes with the name of Princess Yu Yun. You should avoid telling others that your name is Yuxiang when outside, in case Princess Yu Yun hears it. She might just find an excuse to get rid of you."

He Jinxia’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned her head to look at the television, forgetting to play her hand.

Mrs. He saw her not playing cards and was about to urge her when she also glanced at the TV drama. She was astonished, "Eh, Jinxia, isn’t that you?"

On the television, a preview of "Xiao Xiangyu’s Many Sorrows" was playing—

"Who are you really? Why do you also possess the power of thunder? What is your true form?"

The scene shifted, and another backdrop flashed by—

"Demon... It’s strange. Demons haven’t appeared since the major event three thousand years ago. Why would they appear now?"

"Yuxiang, who are you?"

"Yuxiang, I’m so miserable. Hurry and save me, save me..."

On TV, scene after scene flashed by, finally settling on Yuxiang, the character portrayed by He Jinxia. She was dressed in plain white clothes, with a pure and unparalleled appearance, holding a soul weapon in her hand, fighting various enemies.
