Because of a car accident, both I and my Oscar Winner husband were reborn. Opening my eyes again, I returned to three years ago, back to the film set where I first met Julian Vance as a Stunt Double. The hot search from my previous life was still vivid in my mind. "Actor Julian Vance died in car accident, wallet cherishes photo of first love." Turns out in ten years of marriage, I was just a substitute for his "The One That Got Away". This time, I frantically worked out three months in advance, cut my long hair short, and appeared in the dressing room in sharp cargo pants. In the mirror, my eyes were sharp, completely different from that gentle and lovely "Her". Since I live again, I will never be anyone's shadow. ... Chapter 1 It took me a while to realize this was the audition site for the movie "Shadow Blade". And to realize, I actually reborn. For a moment, I was in a trance. My life in previous life, to the outside world, seemed perfect enough. Career-wise, I went from an unknown stunt double, struggled all the way, finally became a top action director in the industry. Family-wise, I married Julian Vance, the man who later swept all major film awards. Everyone said we were the most incredible couple in Hollywood. He was the genius of the film industry surrounded by stars, every gesture full of elegance and calmness; and I was just the most inconspicuous stunt double on set, bruises all over body was normal, even face rarely appeared in the camera. But only I knew, deep in his wallet, he hid a yellowed photo. The girl in the photo looked seventy percent like me. The girl smiling like a flower in the photo was Lily, the white moonlight Julian never forgot. During the filming of a low-budget action movie, due to staff negligence and serious aging of Wire Work equipment, an accident occurred, causing Lily's unfortunate death. The only regret, perhaps, was that the car accident came too suddenly. When he protected me, blood stained his white shirt red, but his fingers dead gripped that photo. Before dying, he looked at me, eyes trance, softly said a sentence: "...Sorry." I didn't know who he was apologizing to, me, or the person in the photo? He failed rescue and passed away, I was also seriously injured and hospitalized. During treatment, "White Moonlight Event" suddenly fermented on the internet. Overwhelming public opinion made me physically and mentally exhausted. After a month of rescue treatment, I finally couldn't survive this double blow, closed my eyes forever. Chapter 2 Blinding white light dissipated, I fierce opened eyes, entered eyes was "Shadow Blade" crew familiar audition shed. This year, I was 22, just graduated from martial arts school, pulled by friend to audition for a stunt role in "Shadow Blade". Memories surged like tide. In previous life, I first met Julian here. He played male lead, and I was female lead's martial arts stunt double. That man who later became my husband, deeply affectionate to me in front of camera, said I was his life love on award podium. Everyone thought he loved me like life. But only I knew, he might just be looking for another person's shadow in me. "Calm down." I said to myself, "Since start over, don't be foolish again." This time, I won't be anyone's substitute again. "Mr. Vance is here!" "God, why would he personally come to stunt double audition site?" Surrounding suddenly commotion, I lifted head, gaze crossed crowd, looked at that young man slowly walking over. He was still so dazzling, brows and eyes like painting, temperament noble, exactly same as that shining movie king standing on award podium later. But this time, his gaze swept over crowd, moment seeing me, pupil fierce shrank. Did he recognize me? I clenched fingers, heart beating wild. But next second, those eyes once gentle like water to me, like looking at a stranger passerby, indifferently moved away gaze. Until audition ended, assistant director announced list, I finally understood. He really recognized me, Julian also reborn. "Female lead stunt double, Number 7, Lily." That was not my number. And Julian, from start to end, didn't look at me again. Chapter 3 "Why choose Lily?" "She doesn't even have martial arts foundation..." Whispers came from around. Female lead of "Shadow Blade" is a sharp agent, needs large amount high difficulty action scenes. And in previous life, this role finally completed all stunt shots by me, because original star simply couldn't endure hardship. But now, Julian personally chose a vase who can't even do backflip. Assistant director awkwardly coughed: "Script adjusted, female lead changed to intellectual agent, fight scenes will be largely reduced..." I stood at back of crowd, fingers unconsciously pinched into palm. Script changed? Julian's voice came from behind, cold and distant: "New version focuses more on suspense line, action scenes just embellishment." This is simply not "Shadow Blade"! Previous life this movie could explode, was because of real exciting action scenes! Other actors looked at each other, but no one dared question movie king's decision. I lowered head packing backpack, heard two staff whisper: "Heard Lily is Mr. Vance's first love white moonlight..." "God, turns out it's true, thought it was paparazzi making up entertainment news." Backpack strap suddenly broke, prop knife "Clang" smashed on ground. Whole field instant quiet. Julian's gaze finally fell on me. That instant, I almost thought he would walk over, just like when we first met in previous life, bend down pick up prop for me, smiling say "Be careful". But he just frowned, said to assistant: "Clear idlers." I turned and left, but at corner heard Lily crying voice: "Julian, I thought you wouldn't choose me..." Ghost messenger god send, I stopped steps. Julian's voice gentle strange, "It's okay, this time I will protect you well." Through door crack, I saw Julian hug Lily in arms, fingers gently combing her long hair. Exactly same hairstyle as in the photo he gripped that day of car accident. Rain fell heavy. I stood outside studio city, watching rain water flood the small square where he accompanied me practicing in previous life into an ocean. Turns out this is reason for his rebirth. Not for me. Is to compensate that person he truly loved for a lifetime. I wiped face, couldn't distinguish rain or tears. This life, let us live our own lives well. Chapter 4 In training room, I swiped news of "Shadow Blade" announcing female lead. #Julian Vance New Movie Uses Newcomer# tag already rushed to trending. Comment section exploded: [Lily? Who? Check no such person] [Holy sh*t! Isn't this previously rumored Julian's white moonlight?] [Broken defense family! Thought was brainless fabrication, actually true!] [Better to ship okay! Hidden for years finally public for love!] Phone screen light stung eyes pain. "Jade, your hand is shaking." Junior brother handed towel, looking at me worriedly, "Want rest?" I shook head, continue tie sandbag. Previous life was like this, more sad more practice to death, until body pain makes forget heart pain. "Right," Junior brother suddenly lowered voice, "Heard Julian let director delete all dangerous scenes in 'Shadow Blade', specially hired Hollywood effects team do CGI..." I fierce clenched boxing glove strap. Previous life filming this movie, Lily, which is this girl chosen now, was because Julian didn't choose her, angry ran to other crew, died in accident when filming a jump scene. So that's it. He is saving her. "Jade!" Martial art school little junior sister panting ran in, "There, there is a web drama come door, say want real fight real shoot martial arts director..." I took name card, but stunned when seeing producer name, Leo. Julian's biggest rival in previous life, capital puppet specialized in filming shoddy ancient idol dramas. And now, project book he sent impressively wrote: "Shadow Blade" same IP spin-off drama. Phone suddenly vibrate. Stranger number, content brief: [Miss Sullivan, Mr. Vance recommends you serve as 'Shadow Blade' action director. Pay double, dangerous scenes all use stunt double.] I stared at "Stunt Double" two words, suddenly laughed out sound. How ironic. Previous life he let me this stunt double turn official, this life he want let official owner forever safe. Rain fell again. When I walked out of martial art school, saw black nanny car stop at alley mouth. Window down, revealing Julian's clear profile side face. Cigarette in his fingertip flickered in rain mist, just like that night we first met on set in previous life. Just this time, person he wait no longer me. Phone vibrate again. Still that number: [Considered well? Mr. Vance said, this is compensation.] I pressed power off button, turned walk into rain. Since live again once. This time I want be person holding knife, not someone's knife.
