# PRETENDTOBEAFOOL Even though Bai Yun’s parents died when she was young, her grandfather was a retired special forces soldier and her grandmother was from a cultural art troupe. Both of them loved her a lot. One taught her how to defend herself with martial arts, while the other taught her all she needed to know about life. Bai Yun worked hard too, and at twenty-three years old, she won her first international actress award. However, on the happiest day of her life, she transmigrated into an extremely melodramatic novel. She became a lowly female cannon fodder who was written off in less than three chapters. In the book, Bai Yun had lived in a repressed environment since she was young, which made her cowardly as well as lacking in opinion and love. That made her an easy target for bad guys. Her only friend regarded her as a tool and wanted to sell Bai Yun to pave a way for herself. Bai Yun’s husband also decided to leave her because she filed for divorce three times a day, and he fell for someone else. Before her career in the entertainment industry took off, she was cursed and scolded on public platforms for her poor acting and her continuous blunders. Bai Yun, who had just transmigrated, didn’t even have time to adjust to her new identity when divorce papers were thrown at her. Bai Yun: “Can we stay together?” Chu Jiang: “It’s too late.” “Okay.”Since their marriage couldn’t be saved, Bai Yun decisively signed the papers and proactively went about saving her acting career that was on the verge of collapsing at any time. When netizens first saw Bai Yun appearing on the screen: “She’s yesterday’s news already, yet she’s still trying to turn things around? If she can do it, I’ll stand upside down and wash my hair.”Later, in an online drama, she was devastatingly beautiful and her dancing charmed everyone’s hearts. On variety shows, she relied on her attitude and strength to turn the tables and become the national goddess. A brand that was about to go bankrupt asked Bai Yun to be their spokesperson. People clamored for the goods, and the crisis was successfully overcome! As Bai Yun’s worth and brilliance spread further, many more people and fans couldn’t help but worry about their idol’s marriage.
