The Homophobic Woman Is Reborn And Turns the Best Actress Gay - Chapter 1

“An’an, don’t go… Don’t leave me. Don’t!”

In the dim room, Ye Shixun sat upright in bed, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

After finally calming down, she fumbled for the bedside lamp in disbelief and switched it on. When the light illuminated the room, Ye Shixun slapped herself, torn between sorrow and joy.

“Hiss… That hurts.”

Only when she felt the burning pain on her cheek did Ye Shixun realize that she was truly still alive. The car accident that had taken her life seemed to have been nothing more than a dream.

Ye Shixun looked around the familiar yet strange room. She remembered moving out of this place ten years ago, and her memories of it had already grown hazy. Following old habits, she quickly found the phone beside her pillow.

When she checked the time, she discovered that she had returned to ten years ago.

At thirty-two years old, she had suddenly returned to the age of twenty-two.

However, when she saw the exact date and time—

October 2, 5:43:21 a.m.

Ye Shixun’s pupils instantly widened. She leaped out of bed, washed up as quickly as possible, grabbed a random coat, and rushed outside.

Ye Shixun was now certain that she had been reborn. However, she did not know whether returning to this particular point in time was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement by the heavens.

In her previous life, Ye Shixun had been an extreme homophobe who hated homosexuality to the bone. Yet during the final period of her life, she had fallen in love with a woman whose face had been disfigured by sulfuric acid—the once wildly popular Best Actress, Gu Su’an.

In her previous life, Ye Shixun had been an orphan who wandered the streets and performed for a living. One night, she found an “ugly” woman lying drunk on the roadside.

Only after spending time together did she learn that the woman had once been a Best Actress.

The reason Gu Su’an had ended up that way was because, just as she first entered the entertainment industry, the only sister she depended on had fallen seriously ill and needed an enormous amount of money for surgery. To save her sister, Gu Su’an had sold herself to a woman who slept with both men and women.

Gu Su’an stayed by that woman’s side for seven years and suffered endless humiliation.

In the end, just as she was crowned Best Actress, one of that woman’s lovers threw sulfuric acid at her, forcing her out of the entertainment industry.

Later, the truth about that lover’s actions was exposed, and the woman took revenge against her.

In a fit of rage, the lover dragged Gu Su’an down with her and died together with her.

Ye Shixun could not accept Gu Su’an’s death, so she began changing her life. Step by step, she forced her way into high society and established her own business empire. At any cost, she tracked down the woman who had once kept Gu Su’an as a mistress.

However, just as Ye Shixun prepared to take revenge, she discovered that the woman was so powerful that Ye Shixun was nothing more than a ridiculous clown in her eyes.

A deliberately arranged car accident silently claimed the life of Ye Shixun, the business genius of that era.

Ye Shixun was grateful that she had returned to a time before the nightmare began.

But she needed time, and she needed money.

Otherwise, even though she had returned, she would merely witness Gu Su’an being taken away by that terrifying woman with her own eyes.

In front of the tightly shut doors of a bar, Ye Shixun desperately pounded on the entrance while repeatedly dialing a number on her phone.

Ye Shixun thought back carefully. In her previous life, Gu Su’an had said that she had been short by four hundred thousand yuan.

For that four hundred thousand, she had sold herself to a demon.

Yet she had never regretted it, because as long as there had been even the slightest chance of saving her sister, she would never have let it go.

Unfortunately, her sister still had not survived.

“Silly An’an, don’t do anything foolish in this life. Wait for me a little longer. Even if I have to give up everything, I’ll gather that four hundred thousand for you.”

Ye Shixun muttered to herself as she pounded even harder on the door.

The people inside seemed to hear the commotion outside. Before long, the door opened.

Feng Liu stood there with a coat draped around her body, her face filled with resentment at being awakened. However, when she saw Ye Shixun standing outside covered in sweat, Feng Liu froze for a moment before sneering.

“Well, well. Am I dreaming, or has the great Young Miss Ye really come here?”

The bar Feng Liu ran was not an ordinary bar. It catered specifically to lesbians.

As a seasoned homophobe, Ye Shixun had only recently discovered that Feng Liu was a lesbian and had cut off all contact with her.

Now, seeing Ye Shixun standing before her, Feng Liu’s eyes held not only mockery but also disbelief.

Ye Shixun looked at Feng Liu with complicated emotions.

At the very end of her previous life, when she had been on the verge of death, this woman had been the only person to visit her at the hospital.

Yet because of Ye Shixun’s homophobia, the two of them had not contacted each other for an entire decade.

“Feng Liu, I came here because I want to borrow some money from you,” Ye Shixun said uneasily.

After ten years apart, their relationship had already become distant in Ye Shixun’s heart. Not to mention, she and Feng Liu had only recently gotten into a serious conflict.

The disappointment in Feng Liu’s eyes slowly turned into disgust.

She had not expected that the person who had said only a few days ago—

Even if I die, I will never associate with disgusting homosexuals like you. I feel as though every breath of air around you people is filthy. Wouldn’t being friends with you mean deliberately disgusting myself? It would be best if we never saw each other again, so I won’t have nightmares in the middle of the night.

—would now appear before her, looking frantic, only to ask for money with her very first sentence.

Had she been blind when she became friends with Ye Shixun?

Feng Liu was about to make a few sarcastic remarks when Ye Shixun’s phone suddenly rang.

Ye Shixun gestured for Feng Liu to remain quiet, then quickly answered the call.

“Hello, Teacher Zheng. This is Ye Shixun. You still remember me, don’t you?”

Ye Shixun’s attitude was humble, and there was not the slightest hint of anxiety in her voice.

The person on the other end had recognized her the instant he heard her voice. Teacher Zheng replied with a cheerful laugh, “You little brat, why did you call me so many times so early in the morning? Fortunately, this old man has a habit of getting up early for a morning jog. Otherwise, wouldn’t you have annoyed me to death?”

Ye Shixun laughed heartily a few times before saying, “Teacher Zheng, something has happened, and I urgently need several sums of money. I don’t own anything valuable except for the violin my teacher left me back then.”

“I want to sell it to raise some emergency funds, but it is the only thing my teacher left behind. I plan to buy it back once I have money in the future. After thinking it over, I believe leaving the violin with you temporarily would be the most suitable choice.”

“You little girl, are you truly willing to sell the violin your teacher left you?”

Elder Zheng was someone who understood violins. Ye Shixun’s violin could be called a legend within the industry.

Although the violin itself was not extraordinarily expensive, its significance was immense.

Each of its three previous owners had used it to win the championship at an international violin competition.

It was a priceless treasure that could not be bought even if one had the money, and Elder Zheng had wanted it for a very long time.

Ye Shixun chuckled softly.

“Even if I’m reluctant, I have no other choice. I urgently need the money. Besides, Teacher Zheng, you love and understand violins. I can only feel at ease selling it to you.”

Teacher Zheng seemed to become troubled. He hesitated before saying, “Girl, you know that I donate a sum of money to charity every year. Aside from the emergency funds I have already set aside, I don’t have much spare money available.”

“Teacher Zheng, you also know the lowest true market value of my teacher’s violin. But I don’t want to sell off the only thing my teacher left me. I’m merely finding another way to store it with you for now.”

“When I have the means in the future, I will buy it back. Besides, I believe the violin will certainly be maintained better in your care than in mine.”

Ye Shixun’s heart felt bitter.

In her previous life, she had sold that violin to establish a small company. Not long afterward, news broke that the nouveau riche who bought it had gotten into an argument with his wife and smashed the violin in a fit of anger.

A legendary treasure of the industry had disappeared just like that.

When Ye Shixun saw the news report, she had cried in front of her teacher’s grave for an entire afternoon.

No matter what happened in this life, she had to preserve that violin.

Elder Zheng thought for a long time before saying, “That violin could easily sell for millions or even tens of millions, but I truly don’t have that much money available. I can only give you a few hundred thousand for now.”

“Thank you, Elder Zheng. I need the money urgently. Could you transfer it to me first? I’ll personally deliver the violin to you tomorrow afternoon.”

Ye Shixun finally relaxed slightly and ended the call.

When she turned around, she saw Feng Liu staring at her strangely.

“Why do you need money so urgently?” Feng Liu asked.

“One of my friends is sick. She’s at the hospital right now, waiting for money for her surgery.”

The moment Ye Shixun said this, her eyes reddened.

Although she appeared remarkably calm, her heart was still filled with terror.

She was afraid she would be too late.

She was afraid that when she arrived at the hospital, she would discover that Gu Su’an had already left with that frightening woman.

Feng Liu had always believed that Ye Shixun was a heartless person who cared about no one but herself.

In fact, most of the time, Ye Shixun did not even care about herself. An air of weariness and loathing for the world had always surrounded her.

Seeing Ye Shixun this worried about someone for the first time, Feng Liu chuckled softly.

The mockery hidden deep within her eyes gradually faded away.

She reached out and straightened Ye Shixun’s collar. As she did so, she carefully observed Ye Shixun’s reaction to her touch.

Ye Shixun did not resist. Aside from worry and regret, there was not the slightest trace of any other emotion on her face.

Feng Liu smiled knowingly.

“How much do you want to borrow from me?”

“I want to borrow two hundred thousand. I’ll repay it within a year.”

Looking at the close friend who had existed only in the depths of her memories, Ye Shixun spoke without hesitation.

Feng Liu nodded lightly.

“All right. There’s no need to rush to repay me. After all, we once promised to be friends for life.”

At the same time, outside the hospital’s emergency operating room, Gu Su’an sat quietly on a bench like an injured hamster.

Helpless despair covered her face.

A week ago, she had learned that something had happened to her sister. However, she had no way to gather enough money.

She had originally planned to sell one of her kidneys on the black market.

But on the black market, she encountered that woman.

Not only had the woman warned the black-market boss not to allow Gu Su’an to sell her kidney, but she had also offered to keep Gu Su’an as her mistress.

Although Gu Su’an rejected her on the spot, she later found the woman’s business card while organizing her bag at home.

Now, she tightly clutched that business card, and her resolve began to waver.

Her family had fallen into ruin, and her parents had taken their own lives.

Her elder sister was the only family she had left, and she was currently lying in the operating room.

For Gu Su’an’s sake, her sister had worked herself to the bone to pay for her food, clothing, and education.

Gu Su’an had thought that once she started working and earning money, she would repay her sister properly.

But she had only just entered the entertainment industry when her sister collapsed by the roadside from an illness brought on by years of exhaustion.

“What should I do? Mom, Dad, if your spirits are watching over me from heaven, please help me. I don’t want to lose my sister…”

Gu Su’an wept softly.

Tears slid down her cheeks as her gaze slowly settled on the business card in her hand.
