Transmigrated as The Best Female Character of the Year

"Ah! Zane Langdon! He talked to me!"

"He was talking to all of us! You’re so dramatic!"

"Hubby! Hubby! Zane Langdon, I want to marry you."

"I want to have your babies!"

After a flurry of crazed confessions, the fans at the front adopted a more civilized approach and spontaneously cleared a path.

"You’re really good at this," his agent, Taryn Lynch, whispered in Zane Langdon’s ear.

Zane Langdon waved to the fans, then pressed his palms together in a gesture of thanks.

"AHHH! Hubby, you’re so handsome!"

"Hubby, make sure to take care of yourself! We’re rooting for you!"

...

On the film set, everything was ready. They were just waiting for Zane Langdon to arrive to start shooting.

Even Hailey Paige, who was notorious for being late, had arrived on set early.

Melody Monroe, her makeup already done, found a spot to go over her lines.

In the distance, a figure stood watching Melody Monroe.

"She’s putting on a good show! I refuse to believe she’s actually studying. It’s just a bit part. Does she really need to go over those few lines again and again?"

"Rhona, you should stop trying to stir up trouble with Melody Monroe," her assistant, Wendy, said softly. "She’s just playing a tiny role right now; she’s no threat to you. We’ll be gone from this production as soon as our scenes are done."

"Me, stir up trouble with her? She’s the one who has it out for me, okay!" Rhona Hughes retorted angrily. "Are you getting scared? Let me tell you, if you dare betray me, I’ll make sure your good-for-nothing brother ends up in prison. Believe it! He’s the one who did the deed! He took the money, and now you’re having second thoughts?

"I... I would never betray you! I just feel like we shouldn’t take any more risks. If anyone finds out, you’ll be ruined too. You’d hurt her, sure, but you’d take a massive hit yourself. And look at Raymond Ford—he’s no pushover. He has something on you now, and who knows how he’ll use it to threaten you in the future."

"Raymond Ford wouldn’t. He’s not that kind of person," Rhona Hughes immediately retorted.

Wendy held her tongue, not daring to say anything more against Raymond Ford. She could only try to placate her. "You’re already doing much better than Melody Monroe, aren’t you? Sooner or later, you’ll have her completely under your heel."

She glanced in Melody Monroe’s direction. ’Melody Monroe really is annoying! But I don’t dare to try anything again.’

Melody Monroe felt someone staring at her. When she looked up, her eyes met theirs.

The moment they saw Melody Monroe looking their way, both Rhona Hughes and Wendy grew flustered, their guilty consciences making them quickly avert their gazes.

"I’m going to go touch up my makeup," Rhona Hughes said, turning to walk toward the makeup room.

Melody Monroe found the pair’s evasive glances highly suspicious.

"Zane Langdon’s here! Zane Langdon’s here!"

The set instantly burst into a commotion as everyone flocked toward the entrance.

Talia Mercer shot to her feet. "Melody, let’s go too!"

"There’s no point in trying to squeeze through that crowd. Just wait here. You’ll see him eventually."

Talia Mercer glanced at the massive crowd in the distance, sighed, and sat back down next to Melody Monroe.

Suddenly, she saw a figure hurrying toward the commotion.

"Melody, look! Wasn’t Rhona Hughes just heading to the makeup room? She must have heard Zane Langdon arrived and didn’t even have time to touch up her makeup. Turns out celebrities are just like us. Even though they’re stars themselves, they still fangirl."

Melody Monroe looked up in the direction of Rhona Hughes.

’Rhona Hughes had joined Stellaris at the same time as the body’s original owner. She’d found a wealthy patron and her career had flourished initially. However, she was constantly at odds with the original owner, who ultimately engineered her downfall, leaving her utterly disgraced.’

’They were always at odds... so, could Rhona Hughes have had something to do with the original owner’s injury?’
