Chapter 3207 Clickbait
In the blink of an eye, the show was reaching the middle of its run. Megan’s character was about to
appear soon, but the viewership ratings had already decreased to nearly less than half of what the pilot
episode had garnered.
The audience was complaining about how the main female character was useless and how many of
the side characters only served as plot devices to the story. Some were even starting to criticize the
director’s skills and decisions.
However, Megan was aware that the main female character was going to develop and grow. The first
half of the show merely hinted at the exciting plot twists to come in the second half.
So, on the day that the episode where her character was debuting was about to air, she made a Twitter
post to try and get more people to tune in to the show: Don’t forget to watch “Transcendent” later
tonight! The princess is finally making her appearance, and she’s an extremely charming character to
keep an eye out for!
She knew that her character would not appear to be likable at all for quite a few episodes, but had
chosen to promote the show at this specific time anyway. After all, even one curious person who might
watch the show was a potential future fan.
As she’d expected, a lot of people had watched the new episode because of her social media post.
After the episode was over, they returned to comment their criticisms under her post.
Your character is just as shameless as you are in real life! Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Charming”? She’s just a bratty, prideful show-off! Calling her “charming” is an insult to people who
actually are charming!
Megan raised an eyebrow as she scrolled past all of the unpleasant comments. Donna, on the other
hand, kept sighing and huffing as she read through them.
“It’s not that bad, Donna. Cheer up! I’m sure my character is going to become one of the most popular
ones in the show.”
Nothing she said was able to lighten Donna’s mood, whose frown seemed to never leave her face.
The two of them later went to bed that night, keeping their thoughts and feelings to themselves.
The next day was the day that Megan was going to finally find out if she’d made the right bet. Yet, for
some reason, she couldn’t find the strength to turn on the television.
Donna had an inkling as to why but didn’t voice her suspicions out loud. But, even if Transcendent was
going to flop, she was going to watch every episode until its inevitable crash. With a newfound
determination, she took the remote from Megan and turned the television on.
Goosebumps rose all over Megan’s skin at the familiar tune of the show’s opening theme song. Her
hands, scrolling through her social media feed, trembled as she glanced up at Donna. “Why’d you
switch it on?”
“Today’s the day we find out whether accepting the role was a good or bad thing. We have to watch it
even if you don’t want to.” Donna had an out-of-character serious expression as she set down her
laptop on the coffee table. The screen displayed her social media feed.
It looked like she was going to watch the show while scrolling through other people’s real-time
comments.
Megan felt her shoulders stiffen up upon that realization. She’d always been confident in herself, but
now she was facing a bout of self-doubt.
In her past life, someone else had blown up in popularity because of this character. What if the
circumstances were different because the character was now played by her instead of that person?
Swallowing the lump in her throat, she glanced down at her lap and blocked the rest of the world out,
too afraid to think about what might happen if her plan failed.
Just as she was in the midst of wallowing in her own doubt, her phone buzzed with the notification of a
text message.
She opened it up without thinking twice and saw that it was from Jonas: “Your acting is great. Keep up
the good work.”
Is it… good?
Her grip on her phone tightened, and she finally mustered up the courage to look at the television
screen. Her character was all alone, kneeling down on the palace floor. Her long, crimson red dress
spread out all around her made her look like a phoenix ready to take flight.
“I feel so bad for the princess…”
Donna had only intended to watch the show out of morbid curiosity but was now completely pulled in
the plot. Her eyes were filled with tears, her heart moved by the sheer emotion displayed by the
princess.
Megan’s eyes slowly widened. It was hard for her to believe that the person onscreen was her, and that
was her acting skills. Her heart instantly swelled up with pride and relief.
She’d had a certain level of confidence in her own acting, but to see it from a third person’s perspective
in an actual television drama was a completely different thing, and the first time in her two lives.
She slowly raised a hand to cover her shocked, open mouth. She was suddenly grateful for this
character and regained the belief that the drama would absolutely catapult her into fame. Even if she
was currently a mere amateur, there was no doubt that she would one day be reborn as a gorgeous
phoenix!
