“Big Sister, do you know who she is?”

Seeing that Ming Fei was on the verge of suffocating with anxiety, Yao Yao finally extended her finger and pointed at the girl in the photo.

The crisp, childish voice instantly pulled Ming Fei’s emotions back to the present. She followed the direction of the finger and looked over.

Since not much time had passed, she recognized the person at a glance and nodded. “I know her.”

That girl was the fourth female lead in the drama crew, and her name was something like Ruan Zhengzheng.

In the crew, she could be described as a genuinely kind person. Since she didn’t have many scenes each day, during her free time, she often ran errands for everyone—buying coffee, fruit, or other things.

Gradually, the entire crew had developed a favorable impression of her.

Ming Fei was no exception. She had also heard from others in the crew that the girl seemed to have been a child star.

Due to a failed career transition, her acting opportunities were severely limited. Despite having been in the industry for more than a decade, she was only able to land the role of the fourth female lead.

“Master, did you specifically bring her up because there’s an issue?”

Ming Fei wasn’t foolish. The master had asked to see the photos and inquired about this girl, which clearly indicated that her sudden misfortune was likely related to the other party.

She couldn’t help but take a deep breath, finding it hard to believe.

Could the person who always smiled while running errands for the crew really be connected to her misfortune?

However, no matter how much she hoped otherwise, the truth remained unchanged.

“Big Sister, her problem is actually quite serious!”

“If you don’t believe me, you can check her recent career. If I’m not mistaken, she should be at the peak of her success right now.”

Yao Yao tilted her head slightly and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, not only Ming Fei but also Yang Mei, her manager, and Gu Yu, who was there to watch the spectacle, immediately picked up their phones.

Without exception, they opened Weibo. The clearest and most direct indicator of whether an entertainment star’s career was thriving was their verified personal account.

When an actor was at the height of their popularity, their posts would garner millions of comments and likes. This was also an important metric for brands and production companies when selecting endorsers and actors.

“This… this… how is this possible? When did her fan count break twenty million?”

The next moment, Ming Fei, upon seeing the results, couldn’t help but gasp in shock. She abruptly raised her head, her eyes still wide with disbelief.

It wasn’t surprising that she reacted this way. Ruan Zhengzheng, as a child star who had failed to transition, even if some nostalgic netizens supported her, her social media account at most had a few million followers—and those were mostly inactive fans.

Twenty million followers? That was the level of a second- or third-tier celebrity. Without a hit drama, it was simply impossible to reach such numbers.

“Not only her fans—she suddenly has over ten endorsements, and each endorsement post has hundreds of thousands of comments!”

At this point, Ming Fei’s manager couldn’t help but interject.

As a manager, she clearly understood better than the artist what these numbers meant.

“Master, what… exactly is going on?”

Finally unable to hold back, Ming Fei voiced her question. After all, her career had suddenly collapsed into ruins, while someone who should have been struggling was now thriving.

Could such a coincidence truly exist in this world?

Regardless of what others thought, she certainly didn’t believe it.

“Big Sister, do you still not understand? Simply put, this girl has stolen your luck.”

“The calamity that should have befallen her has now fallen entirely on you.”

Yao Yao’s brows were tightly furrowed at this moment. Success depends partly on effort and partly on fate. Sometimes, success relies heavily on ability, but a bit of luck is still necessary.

Was this big sister not working hard enough in her acting career?

No, quite the opposite—she had worked very hard. But due to bad luck, she kept encountering unreliable factors that caused all her previous efforts to go to waste.

This was the result of fate, unrelated to anything else!

A slight dip in fortune might not cause significant issues since luck is intangible and formless. However, that girl had clearly been greedy—she had taken too much, which would put the big sister in danger.

After all, when someone is extremely unlucky, even drinking cold water can make them choke. Under such dire circumstances, a small mistake could be fatal.

“How could she do this? I even went out of my way to help her secure roles. Is she trying to take my life?”

Hearing Yao Yao’s explanation, Ming Fei’s face instantly turned pale.

She never imagined she would encounter such a situation, and anger quickly flared within her.

To show gratitude for the girl’s care during filming, before shooting her next project, Ming Fei had even gone out of her way to advocate for her with the director, hoping to give her more screen time.

The entertainment industry was different from other fields. If you didn’t appear on screen, no matter how brilliant your past achievements were, the audience would forget you. After all, new faces replaced old ones, and the turnover rate in the entertainment industry was incredibly fast.

And yet, here she was, helping the other person, only for them to turn around and try to ruin her?

The saying “you can know a person’s face but not their heart” was absolutely correct.

Yang Mei also hadn’t expected her artist’s sudden decline to be due to this reason. Instantly, she became anxious.

“Please, Master, help Little Fei. The current outcome doesn’t match the effort she put in.”

If it were simply bad luck written in her destiny, there would be nothing anyone could do; fate was fate.

But clearly, that wasn’t the case here. She should have achieved better results, yet because of a thief, she had lost everything. Not only her artist but even Yang Mei herself wouldn’t accept such injustice.

However, changing one’s fortune was an esoteric matter. As ordinary people, they had no way to address something like this.

The only one who could help them here was obviously the master.

“Master, please help me. I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Reminded by her manager, Ming Fei snapped back to reality and began pleading sincerely.

Not to mention anything else, she had dreamed of shedding the title of “sweeping star” in the entertainment industry her entire life.

“Mm, Big Sister, don’t worry. I’ll help you reclaim what’s yours.”

Yao Yao nodded her little head. Not only was this because the other person was a friend of Seven Ge, but more importantly, the girl who borrowed the luck had overstepped her bounds.

If this big sister’s career line hadn’t been strong enough, she probably wouldn’t even be alive right now.

Scheming to harm someone for personal gain was an unforgivable sin, whether in the mystical realm or the mundane world.
