We've been in a marriage of convenience for three years without sleeping together. Why am I goi

The other party sent several more messages: "What does that person look like? What's their family background? What's their wealth level?"

That's a bit too detailed a question.

Lu Zhi didn't want to reveal too much of Pei Yi's personal information, so she only gave a general answer.

He's very handsome, a professional entertainer, comes from a very wealthy family, and is probably quite rich, though I'm not entirely sure.

After I sent this message, the other person stopped replying.

Lu Zhi asked curiously, "Do you have any objections?"

Listen to my advice: don't get too obsessed with idols. If someone calls you "wife," don't become a fool and dream about them.

Lu Zhi: "..."

She guessed that she was under too much pressure lately and her mind was not clear, which is why she thought of looking for answers online.

The phone screen is off.

Another message lit up, a cat avatar: "If you feel you're not good enough, then work hard to improve yourself until you are."

Upon seeing this message, Lu Zhi was momentarily stunned.

Recalling one's past life on stage, perhaps retook the path to stardom wouldn't be a bad choice.

But then I think of those painful memories.

She became conflicted again.

Just then, Wang Ma and another person were talking in the garden. After they finished talking,

Lu Zhi asked with concern, "What is it?"

"It's nothing, just the bills for Jingyuan and the property management fees for the villa that I forgot to pay."

Lu Zhi: "How much?"

"Not much, just 40,000 a year. I'll have my assistant sign the contract when my husband comes back."

After hearing Wang Ma's explanation, Lu Zhi felt a little disheartened.

Through the three-year marriage contract, she can get Jingyuan back. After all, that house is a top-tier luxury residence, and there are property management fees, house repairs, and land lease renewals to cover these costs.

These are all considerable expenses.

Aside from those luxury goods that she could sell to pay off her debts, she had no other source of income.

Those were all bought by my parents.

Each and every one of them is hard to part with.

If we contact Gu Yizhi, we'll inevitably get involved again.

I won't look for it.

If you can't even afford a luxury house, you're overthinking things.

Feeling a headache coming on, Lu Zhi rubbed her temples. "I still need to find a way to increase our income."

Perhaps returning to her old profession and entering the Chinese entertainment industry would be a good choice.

Hearing this, Wang Ma chuckled, "Madam, you don't need to make money. Just stay at home. Your husband will support you for the rest of your life."

Lu Zhi's eyes darkened, and she didn't take those words to heart.

Even if they get divorced, will that still happen?

Having thought it through, Lu Zhi casually contacted the production team that had initially extended the offer.

-

Time flies, and soon it was time to meet again.

The sky was hazy, and willow catkins floated in the air. Lu Zhi, wearing a mask, went to the hotel for an audition.

While waiting in line.

She took off her mask, which immediately attracted the attention of others.

"Wow, this is so beautiful!"

"I feel like I've seen this face before. Then I realized, it looks like the popular actress Shen Luoyao."

"Oh no, I definitely won't get the chance to be chosen by someone with such god-like looks."

Hearing the whispers, Lu Zhi almost laughed and reassured the person next to her, "Don't worry, casting isn't just about looks; acting skills are also important."

The initially nervous girl, Cheng Qing, relaxed a bit. "Thank you, you're so kind. Could I get your autograph?"

Lu Zhi was both amused and exasperated: "I'm not even a celebrity."

Cheng Qing was taken aback. "Don't worry, you're so good-looking. Even if you fail the casting, you can still get into the Chinese entertainment industry."

Upon entering the film set, with the lights on, Lu Zhi took the script and began to perform.

Drawing on her past life experience, her performance was extremely moving, quickly impressing the auditioning director, whose eyes were full of approval: "Not bad."

Lu Zhi stepped outside; the sky was still hazy.

But there was an extra message on my phone.

It was sent by a crew member she had just added: "Your acting is good, but your understanding of the script is a bit lacking. I'm willing to provide individual guidance. Address: XXX Hotel, Room Number..."

After reading all the information, Lu Zhi silently clicked delete.

My mood immediately soured.

In her past life, she went to great lengths to get into the Chinese entertainment industry, selling many of the luxury goods left by her parents.

Bring your own investment to the team.

This time, I really can't bear to part with it. I never expected to run into such monsters and freaks right at the beginning.

Just as Lu Zhi was about to leave, assistant director Xu Zhu caught up with her, grinning lecherously: "How about it? Think about it."

"Need not."

"I'm telling you, don't be stubborn. It's a blessing that investors have taken a liking to you." Faced with his aggressive approach, Lu Zhi dodged back and bumped her back against a tree.

His back was soaked with blood.

"With just one word from me, who in the entire entertainment industry would dare to hire you?" As if sensing her fierceness, Xu Zhu, fearing that someone might die, took a step back and spoke in a threatening tone.

Lu Zhi stood still.

He took a few more steps up, smiling broadly, "Don't worry, our CEO Dong has long had his eye on you and will definitely treat you well."

"Dong Cheng?"

Xu Zhu's smile widened. "You know, right? Those are people who work closely with Young Master Gu. If he gives the word, who would dare give you resources?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi felt like vomiting.

Dong Cheng was the one who had been eyeing him in the bar and had even asked Gu Yizhi for him.

I almost got sent away.

Lu Zhi felt a surge of nameless anger.

Is she an object?

If you want it, you can give it away; you can break or damage it at will.

Gu Yizhi is no good, and he's followed by a bunch of trash.

Lu Zhi picked up a brick from the side, preparing to smash it.

Seeing this, Xu Zhu finally realized that the woman in front of him was a crazy person who didn't care about her life.

He was about to leave when a tall figure appeared behind him.

She took his hand and casually asked, "Where are you headed?"

I hadn't seen Pei Yi for a few days, and he had become even thinner, but the muscles in his hands were still as strong and full as ever, exuding power.

Xu Zhu turned around and almost jumped out of her skin. "What are you doing here...?"

"Do I need to report to you where I'm going?" Pei Yi's lips curled slightly, his tone casual yet dangerous.

"Of course not," Xu Zhu quickly explained.

Pei Yi: "What just happened?"

Xu Zhu explained, "She was an audition actress here, but her acting skills were a bit lacking, so we specifically found someone to coach her."

Katz—

Pei Yi twisted the man's hand until it dislocated, his expression filled with ruthlessness. "Did I tell you to speak?"

"Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts!" Xu Zhu's face began to contort.

"Zhizhi, is that so?" he asked casually, as if he wasn't the one who did it.

Lu Zhi looked Pei Yi over again.

His eyes were as dark, dangerous, deep, and unpredictable as ever.

Even wearing a simple white shirt, it's hard to hide this kind of temperament.

Lu Zhi spoke up: "He wanted to force a good woman into prostitution."

Upon hearing this...

"That's not how it is." Xu Zhu began to struggle, using both hands and feet. "I was just following orders from above."

After struggling for a long time, she still couldn't escape Pei Yi's arm.

Instead, he ended up with a large bruise on his own hand.

Pei Yi asked casually, "Who is that person?"

Xu Zhu fell silent, seemingly unwilling to offend anyone.
