“A little rebel, a little rebel, there is a little rebel... in... meee and youuu...” humming a new song, Bing Shi walked towards the bus station and used a bus as her means of travel.
It was nicer when people looked up to her than down at her. Bing Shi didn’t want any bad rumors to be spread around her anymore, really, it didn’t feel good to be misjudged. She wanted to build an unshakable reputation for herself. If she had to choose between a slave or a rebel, she could do both. Everything came to a single fact and that was if she liked the king or not.
‘In chess, there is a queen and a king. They’re the most powerful pieces on the board. Then there are the players who control the pieces on the board. Then, there’s me... I don’t fit on the board, and I’m not a player. I have no place here... Chess is far too serious for my tastes.’
‘How does one make a game of chess more exciting?’
‘The Queen of chess used to be the weakest piece on the board, and look how much she evolved. A proof that rules could be changed.’
.....
‘Shall I come up with a new chess variant?’
‘Oh, my...’
‘Bwahaha.’
.
.
.
‘Did all that power finally get to my head?’
‘Ah, it doesn’t matter... As long as I don’t end up being like Mo Luwei, everything is fine.’
Seeing all the cruel things a human could do, especially in ancient times, Mo Luwei just didn’t seem so scary... Hell, not even the apocalypse could compare to the ancient times when it came to merciless brutality; not to mention how normal torture was back then...
Also, Bing Shi didn’t have to protect her people against a clan of folks who wished to seek revenge and random assassination attempts. In fact, besides herself, she didn’t need to take responsibility for anyone.
She felt as though this was a nice change of pace. Instead of being a big boss or something, she was now a tiny employee- she would even go so far as to say that she was practically a nobody on the internet if one ignored the headlines that wanted to milk her spicy reputation.
Yet, still, despite the change of pace, she couldn’t shake off a feeling of restlessness in her heart.
There was a constant pressure inside of her that said she had to work, work, work without rest. This strong pressure was formed by her bad habits and now, because of the pressure that convinced her she had to always work, she was incapable of taking a break.
Silika Lin: Now is a perfect time to get yourself a few shares. Fighting! ?? #LiJieForCEO
Li Jie: Why don’t you go tell your husband that? These scandals are not enough to shake Mo Luwei’s firm standing in the company.
It was normal for men, even married ones, to have ‘scandals’ with various women, and very rarely did these scandals damage their careers. It was sad, really, how common these scandals were for men- at the end of the day, no one raised an eyebrow at the men who were always benefiting from the patriarchy in the ‘business’ world.
Of course, Bing Shi knew that, having dipped her toes in the business world for a few years. She sighed nonchalantly as she waited for Li Jie’s reply. While waiting for his reply, she would wave at the person who tried to take a picture of her secretly.
The next scenes were to be shot in another province, so she had to pack her things up. It was becoming harder to reach their nest unnoticed. She took it as an opportunity to train her shinobi skills, but sometimes, she would need to stay back at her parent’s house... That was exactly what she did when she received the flowers from Mo Luwei.
Silika Lin: I had to decide between wasting my husband’s time or yours, so what do you think was my decision? (?ˉ?ˉ?) It’s not the scandals that are endangering Mo Luwei’s standing, but Quin Yu.?????? Your family’s tech company is still being pressured, right?
Silika Lin: It’s payback time. ??(??????) #LiJieForANewCEO
Quin Yu? No, there had to be more to it. Li Jie was speechless at this woman’s audacity. Seeing how her every move was intentional, from the scandals to everything else, it felt like she was all knowing... She made him feel like an ignorant kid. She was scarily experienced; so much so, it made him feel skeptical at times.
Her maturity wasn’t easily revealed to people who weren’t looking into her closely, but if one watched her long enough, like Li Jie, you would notice how she was never reckless despite being playful. She was cautious in a strange way; she wasn’t creating enemies headlessly- it was actually the opposite. It was like she was creating her own army, with troops of fighters who would heed her command.
There weren’t pictures of Silika Lin on the billboards nor ads due to Mo Luwei’s suppression, but she became easily recognizable by the youngsters.
Except for Mo Luwei, nobody dared to look for trouble with her. She flaunted her fighting skills, which made it difficult for others to bully her. Not even the paparazzi that sometimes followed her around dared to pick a battle with her. She radiated a kind of higher status and power that somehow earned others’ respect.
If Li Jie knew what she accomplished in her past lives, he wouldn’t be as surprised. Even if she didn’t know how to fight, she would let others do it in her stead.
The knowledge of being the ruthless CEO, who tore down other companies with a point of no return, came biting back at Mo Luwei. More and more haters came out of their hiding spots while Silika Lin gained more and more followers.

“CUT!” The director yelled into the microphone with a broad smile, his heart was beating as loud as thousands of drums.
This was the very reason the director agreed to stage Silika Lin. Silika Lin, in her streams, was the most accurate representation of who Lisha would grow up to be. Lisha would grow from a little, naive girl and turn into a capable woman. Lisha, once going through enough hardships, would be a skilled leader of the organization.
Whenever he had a confrontation with Silika, he would feel intimidated, but despite his intimidation of her, he would do nothing to Silika for the sake of his movie. He didn’t need to keep filming the Lisha who was weak as a teenager anymore, “Silika! Who would have thought that you would finish the hardest scene on your first try?”
“Oh no, don’t mention it, I feel too embarrassed right now,” Bing Shi covered her face as she got off the movie’s male lead chest, aka her undercover husband.
Bing Shi needed help with an intimate scene, and her hero came to her rescue. They trained so much for the past few nights and then, suddenly, midway in a fight that was more show than anything else (everyone else thought that they were really fighting for real) but an accident in the fight caused them to kiss..
This was really not a job meant for her.... She just wanted to be done with all of this as fast as possible. Her respect towards all actors and idols, who had to deal with so many things it became a norm, intensified with each passing second.
Xuan Mu, with a new face, stood up from the cold dungeon ground, touching his bruised lips with a chuckle while his hand went through his black hair that had turned a bit messy because of their fight. Each movement of his muscles caused a rise in the temperature from their surroundings.
Grabbing a towel from Bing Shi’s seat, Xuan Mu threw it over her head. He was hoping that blocking her view of all the crew would ease her anxiety. She found kissing in front of so many people very uncomfortable... as expected of someone who didn’t like PDA.
The movie set stared at the silent man and the embarrassed girl with their mouths open wide with shock. Those two seriously fought for real! They were wearing tank tops, and some visible bruises appeared during their heated confrontation.
Lisha’s and Zekiel’s stunts were both dangerous and physically demanding, difficult to nail down. Their fight looked like a choreographed dance of destruction. They moved almost without sound. It was as if a hundred divergent emotions got turned into one, into something they could feel together.
Don’t tell them something was going on between those two! The sparks flew here, and there, all around, everywhere! Just the sight of Ziekel inserting his tongue inside Lisha’s mouth during the brief touch of their lips made their hearts skip a beat a thousand times. Just when they started to ship Silika with Li Jie, this single scene made them change their opinion in an instant!
