From Sidekick to Bigshot

Mo Shiyun was successful in her audition. She managed to get her new role.

Although it was only the third female lead in a web drama, Mo Shiyun was already quite satisfied.

The web drama was based on a popular web novel. It already had a certain fanbase. And thus, it was highly likely that the drama would become popular.

If the web drama was a hit, even the third female lead would become a name that was known by everyone. This was very beneficial to her development and growth in the entertainment industry.

After the audition, Ms. Qian told her that there were people who lingered on the fringes of the entertainment industry for years without getting a role. This step for her was already a big step in the eyes of many other people.

Then, someone posted this exact news onto the Shenghua High School campus forum. Students from various grades expressed their good wishes, congratulations, and excitement for Mo Shiyun.

To an average student at Shenghua High School, there was really quite a lot of news to follow these days. As soon as Jian Yiling’s news cooled down, Mo Shiyun’s followed up.

They had a vague feeling that these two had been secretly competing.

This feeling had started from the day when someone had made two posts at once. It was evident that they were comparing Jian Yiling and Mo Shiyun.

Lately, some students had started to re-evaluate Jian Yiling.

First of all, previously, Jian Yiling’s grades were not so good. On the other hand, Mo Shiyun had always been in the top 5 in her grade. She had also won prizes in various competitions.

However, this first point had been overturned. Jian Yiling now satisfied this criterion.

She had gotten first place in a very difficult chemistry competition.

Furthermore, a while later, she had also gotten first place in her midterm exams.

And thus, if you were to compare the two of them carefully, it seemed that Jian Yiling was actually better than Mo Shiyun in this aspect.

Next, they would compare appearances. Mo Shiyun was a goddess in the eyes of many students. Ever since she first came to Shenghua High School, she had already stolen the hearts of many boys in the school.

Whether it was her temperament, appearance, or personality, Mo Shiyun fit the image of a goddess very well.

On the other hand, Jian Yiling was also a good-looking girl. If they were to closely examine the matter, most would say that she was even more good-looking than Mo Shiyun. However, no one had ever considered Jian Yiling as a goddess or as a beauty of the school.

This was because, other than her looks, everything else about her was unimpressive and underwhelming.

Neither boys nor girls liked someone who was oppressive and arrogant. Previously, she acted as though everyone else was beneath her. She never considered anyone else’s feelings when she made decisions.

However, now Jian Yiling’s personality had changed quite a bit. Although she still didn’t like to talk to people, she no longer said things that hurt people’s self-esteem. Furthermore, she no longer lost her temper easily.

On top of that, she had also acted as a gothic loli in Jupiter’s MV. This caused people to begin to appreciate Jian Yiling’s appearance.

However, this time around, it seemed as though Mo Shiyun had the upper hand. It seemed like Mo Shiyun had a greater chance of entering the entertainment industry.

This was due to the lack of follow up on Jian Yiling’s case. It made it seem like their hopes towards Jian Yiling was a lost cause. On the other hand, Mo Shiyun had actually gotten a role in a web drama.

Zhu Sha was very happy to see the course of events on the forum turn away from Jian Yiling.

“Wow! Shiyun, so you didn’t say anything that day because you were holding back a big move! Woah, you’re actually impressive! Jian Yiling definitely can’t compete with you.”

Then, Zhu Sha hurriedly logged onto her Weibo to check Mo Shiyun’s followers.

She was shocked when she saw the number. The last time she checked, Mo Shiyun had a few hundred followers. Now, the number had exponentially increased to five thousand.

Zhu Sha was utterly envious of Mo Shiyun.

However, Mo Shiyun continued to maintain a modest attitude: “Nah, it’s just good luck. I don’t know whether I can act out this role well. I don’t have a lot of time on my hands right now.”

Mo Shiyun knew that if it wasn’t for Ms. Qian’s help, she wouldn’t have gotten this role. In fact, she wouldn’t have even gotten an opportunity to audition.
