Ren Yanya’s Sense of Crisis

The manager resisted the urge to roll her eyes, lowering her head discreetly as she listened to Ren Yanya's long-winded speech. She had no idea where Ren Yanya found the confidence to believe that the production team would be foolish enough to replace Director Liu—who had an unbroken streak of hit films and had propelled multiple top-tier celebrities to stardom—simply because she was dissatisfied with a supporting role's casting.

Ren Yanya vastly overestimated her own importance. While she was indeed one of the most sought-after A-list actresses in the industry, and her stepfather's status made her virtually untouchable, that didn't grant her the privilege to defy the rules with impunity.

This was the capital, after all—where even a stray brick could land on a handful of elites. In the entertainment industry, no one survived without a trump card or two.
