If Rhianna were living in a novel, she thought she must be the cannon fodder supporting role in a story where Rylee was the male lead.
So when she received a call from her agent, Lauryn, saying, "Sweetheart, I've lined up a few web dramas for you.You've graduated now; it's time to seriously plan out your future career."
In her previous life, upon hearing Lauryn's words, Rhianna had resolutely terminated her contract. At that time, she had thrown herself entirely into being a devoted wife to Rylee.
But to Rylee, she was merely a name on a marriage certificate.
"Hmm… Thank you, Lauryn. I'll be at the office shortly."
Rhianna, blessed with outstanding looks, had always been the belle of her school. With a high-bridged nose, bright eyes, white teeth, and a complexion that never tanned, she blossomed into a figure of perfect curves during her adolescence. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson, spoiled their precious daughter endlessly, and even her brother, Damon, was helpless against his sister.
During college, Rhianna was discovered by a talent scout and introduced to Lauryn, her agent. Though Lauryn wasn't a top-tier agent in the industry, she had substantial resources.
Perhaps because life had been too smooth for her, Rylee became the major obstacle in her life.
Rhianna quickly tidied herself up, applied light makeup, and slipped into her high heels before heading out.
The Palmer family had been a prestigious family for centuries. In recent decades, Rylee's grandfather, a founding hero of the country, had shifted the family's focus from business to politics, establishing a new era for the family while upholding the family's century-old traditions, turning the Palmer family into a discreetly powerful noble household.
Although Rhianna and Rylee had not held a wedding, their families had met several times. In her previous life, Rhianna's greatest wish was to become Rylee's bride in a wedding dress, but that wish became an unfulfilled dream even after she was dead.
Rhianna got into her double-door sedan, shook her head, and cast aside the memories that suddenly flooded her mind.
She arrived at the company without any issues. Lauryn was talking to another agent when she bumped into Rhianna.
One had to admit, her precious girl was truly stunning. Lauryn, having mingled in the entertainment industry for years and seen countless beauties, found Rhianna to be an exceptionally distinctive beauty. Even if she were just a pretty face in the industry, she wouldn't have to worry about her livelihood.
Though Lauryn didn't know much about Rhianna's family background, she noticed over the three years of their collaboration that Rhianna always completed her assigned tasks well. However, she didn't show the same dedication as some other young artists. Lauryn guessed that Rhianna came from a well-off family, not having to worry about making a living.
"Lauryn," Rhianna said sincerely, feeling grateful for her recognition and for teaching her many things.
The Jefferson family, though not as prestigious as the Palmer family, was still well-off. In recent years, the Jefferson family had undertaken several projects for the G Corporation and was expected to go public.
Rhianna had grown up without worries, enjoying a comfortable life. Therefore, she sometimes felt lost about her future plans.
"Alright, go wait for me in the office.I'll show you the script later."
Rhianna sat in Lauryn's office, holding a freshly brewed latte. Seeing a familiar face for the first time since her rebirth truly felt like a different lifetime.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Lauryn asked as she entered the office after discussing matters with a colleague. She saw the beautiful Rhianna lost in thought. A beauty, just sitting there quietly, could be so pleasing to the eye.
Rhianna blushed and accepted the script that Lauryn handed over.
All three scripts were for web dramas. Although they weren't major IPs, getting such opportunities at Rhianna's current stage was quite remarkable.
The first one was a light-hearted campus comedy about childhood sweethearts who bicker and develop romantic feelings as they grow up.
The second was a contemporary urban drama about a broken relationship being mended, featuring an elite male lead and a rookie female lead, in a classic CEO falls for me storyline.
The third was a newly popular suspense genre, a detective story with episodic cases, promising to be quite engaging.
Indeed, the role secured for Rhianna is quite commendable. In the first campus drama, Rhianna plays a schoolmate who becomes infatuated with the male lead, subsequently catalyzing the romance between the male lead and another girl. In the second urban drama, Rhianna's character is the non-biological younger sister of the male lead, deeply in love with her older brother, yet forced to watch him drift further away. In the third suspense drama, Rhianna features in one of the episodic stories as a character initially appearing kind and innocent, but ultimately revealed to be the antagonist who drives the murder case forward.
"Can I act in all three of these scripts?"
"Can I act in all three of these scripts?" Rhianna asked with a sly smile, dimples showing and her eyes slightly upturned, almost bewitching Lauryn.
"No, you can only choose one." Alivia needs a drama too, so I grabbed these for you to choose first."
Rhianna knew she couldn't take on too much at once. She had no acting experience or formal training yet, so if she wanted to pursue a career as a serious actress, she had to take it one step at a time.
"I'll take the urban drama."
"So quick to decide?" Lauryn thought Rhianna would have struggled to choose." Lauryn thought Rhianna would have a moment of struggle。
Each of these three has its own highlights.The role in the urban drama wasn't likable, but the ratings for such melodramas were usually high, making it a good opportunity to get familiar with the audience.
Rhianna, however, saw a lot of similarities between the sister role and her past self, loving but never being loved back, even to the point of obsession.
More importantly, as someone who had lived through another lifetime, Rhianna knew this web drama would create significant buzz online. Family drama and melodrama were evergreen topics.
