Hua Jin said sullenly, âDo you know how much I get paid for an episode of this TV show?â
â...ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liang Yin frowned. Was this guy trying to show off his wealth?
âHow much for an episode?â she asked, playing along and pressing for that detail.
The actor replied, â600,000!â
â6...â Liang Yin choked on her own words. She spread out her hands and did some mental calculations.
80 episodes at 600,000 per episode, he would make a total of 48 million after the filming concluded!
So much!
âThatâs a lot of money!â
The actor snorted. âYou realize itâs a lot of money! Since itâs 600,000 per episode, thatâs my job. I have to do it seriously. Even if something like this happens, I canât drag the crew down.â

âUh...â When Liang Yin heard this, her opinion of him suddenly shifted. âI didnât realize you were so dedicated!â
His lips curved in triumph. âOf course!â
âBut if I were paid 600,000 per episode, Iâd be willing to be that dedicated. However, Iâm acting for you and donât get a penny of this 600,000.â
The actorâs lips twitched. Why hadnât he thought of that?
âSee? Isnât that right?â
Liang Yin crossed her arms angrily. âWouldnât I be working for free for you, in this case?â
âIâll give you half the pay.â
âHalf?â
âIâll give you 250,000 per episode after-tax. Deal?â
The actor continued, âAs long as you put on a good performance, there will be a bonus payment for this show. You and I will split it fifty-fifty!â
Liang Yin was stunned. She did a quick calculation.
According to these terms Hua Jin had promised her, if she were to film an episode for 250,000 yuan, she would have at least... 20 million!
20 million?!
Liang Yin took another deep breath. Suddenly, she seemed to realize that something was wrong.
âWait!â
âWhatâs the matter?â
âLet me ask you a question.â
âUh huh?â
âDo you think... weâll ever get back into our own bodies?â
It would have been better if she hadnât asked. As soon as he asked the question, Hua Jinâs expression changed!
Without thinking, he said, âIâm sure we can!â
âHow?â Liang Yin said in disappointment, âI wake up every day hoping that all of this is just a ridiculous dream, but every time I wake up, things are the same...â
Then she buried her face in her hands, looking worried and on the verge of tears. âCould it be that weâd never be able to get back into our own bodies?â
âYouâre not allowed to say such depressing things. Even if you canât get your body back for the rest of your life, Iâm the one at a disadvantage.â The actor snorted. âYouâve become me, a big star, worth millions. I, on the other hand, have become you, poor like a pauper.â
âThatâs true.â
Liang Yinâs eyes lit up. âWhy didnât I realize that?â
Thatâs right.
She was Hua Jin now. She was worth millions. Well then...
Seeing the light in her eyes, Hua Jin asked suspiciously, âWhat are you planning?â
âAhem.â Liang Yin cleared her throat. âIt just occurred to me. Iâm a big star now and Iâve got money. Does it mean that I can now eat the sort of posh western food that I had never dreamed of being able to afford in the past?!â
Hua Jin felt as though he was about to spew blood! To think heâd thought she was going to make some groundbreaking statement. After becoming a celebrity with a net worth of tens of millions, all she could think about was posh western food!?
Surely she could do better than this!
