´Congratulations Host! You have managed to accomplish absolutely NOTHING in the past 5 years!´
Opals robotic voice seemed to be dripping with sarcasm, however their spicy chicken host either didn't notice or didn't care.
"Thanks Opal" Juliet said as she shoved another handful of mini-Oreos into her mouth. Her system watched her in disgust.
"Did you know these delightful little things are Vegan?" Juliet said, examining the bag in her hands.
'Those aren't remotely healthy! I'm sure my superiors will count it as OOC!'
"oh, you're just pissed cause I'm not living off of vegetables and tofu!" Juliet fired back.
Over the past 5 years, Opal and Juliet had grown a lot more comfortable with each other. Juliet has realized that it can be really annoying having someone in your head 24/7, giving constant commentary on everything you do. And Opal had realized that it can be REALLY annoying when your host is lazy and a completely unprofessional *beep* *beep*
Only a week after the the Long sisters 18th Birthday Party, news had spread that Xiang Long would be sent abroad to live with a few distant relatives and would start University there. Many people had mixed feelings about this, some said that the Long family were too cruel to send their daughter away while others said that she was lucky not to have been disowned. Juliet couldn't have been more thrilled, because having the Villianess out of the picture meant she couldn't cause anymore trouble and that ment Juliet was free to do whatever she wanted.
Not to say that she hadn't accomplished anything in the past 5 years, contrary to what her unfaithful system seemed to believe. Juliet had actually been casted as the lead for the Time-Travel Romance Drama she auditioned for, prior to meeting Xiang Long. The Drama had been pretty popular and thus Maria had become a minor-celebrity. New opportunities opened up for her and soon she was climbing up the ranks of the social order much quicker than the previous Maria had.
Juliet assumed this was because the original had eventually branched out toward music and had a steady and slow rise to fame in that field. While Juliet, who chose to stick to acting, had a much faster but possibly more unstable path to the top. After many years of being apart of the entertainment industry, Juliet had been pulled into several scandals caused by jealous second rate actresses who claimed her either a sl*t or a bully. However none of these accusassions ever got any attention and not only where they quickly swept under the rug but she always seemed to come out of each scandal looking like the victim which only strengthened her public image.
Juliet assumed it was her agency protecting her and was happy to let them deal with it.
True to the original story, Jin Lian had become a ruthless business tycoon. He wasn't even thirty yet but had already become the CEO of Jin Industries and one of Chinas most eligible bachelors. Fan Long had also started her career as an actress 3 years ago and was doing fairy well. However, the day of Xiang Longs return was drawing near.
This meant that the true Female Lead would get transmigrated into Fan Longs body and the plot would begin to unfold, with Xiang Long as the Villian.
Juliets eyes landed on her phone. Only a couple days after their meeting, Juliet had gotten a text from an unknown number.
« I hate flying »
Juliet had laughed when she read this and responded almost immediately. That was how she learning Xiang Long had a fear of heights. Remembering this, Juliet picked up her phone and prepared to send a message to Xiang Long about her flight back to China.
« Remember to bring gum on the flight and don't forget your headphones! Don't think abt flying to much and if you get freaked out, remember to breathe-»
´Simp' Opal commented. Juliet stopped typing and looked up at the empty space around her.
" I am not!"
´You never stop texting her. You FaceTime everyday. You call her at the smallest inconvenience and you have an ongoing contest to see who can find the cutest animal plushy, with her in the lead for sending you that strawberry cow'
"So what!? Can't I have friends? That's all perfectly normal for someone in a long distance friendship!"
´I think you mean relatio-'
"Do you have a mute button?" Juliet blushed furiously as put her phone away just to show Opal how wrong they were.
But not before sending a quick text to the Villianess. ;)

At the top floor of a penthouse, over looking a large city. A woman's phone buzzed. She was sitting elegantly on a luxurious leather sofa, staring at a TV screen. Where a beautiful woman dressed in a historical costume was pleading with a handsome man in yellow robes.
"I just want to go home!"
The woman took in a sharp breathe as tears formed in the corners of her eyes as she watched.
Picking up the remote with her perfectly manicured hand, she paused the Drama and after a moment she teared her eyes away from the screen. She picked up her phone and found a new text message from someone very special to her.
A gentle smile formed on the woman's angelic face. As she held the phone close to her heart before speaking into the empty room,
"I'll make you fall in love with me Maria, just wait and see"
