**Chapter 40: A Rare Beauty in the Mortal World**

In just a few seconds\u2014
The previously low viewership of the livestream skyrocketed to its peak\u2014

**”It’s Qin Mang! Ahhh!”**
**”I’m going crazy, what did I just see?! I casually opened a random reporter’s livestream backstage at the premiere and got served a huge scoop!”**
**”Is that her boyfriend? Is it, is it?”**
**”It must be! Why else would the reporter be told to delete it?”**
**”What were they doing just now? Kissing, hugging, or was he lifting her up?!”**
**”OMG, am I the only one who thinks Qin Mang is insanely hot? It’s the first time seeing her face up this close\u2014absolutely stunning! She looks like she\u2019s about to toss those paparazzi out to feed the sharks!”**
**”Not the point! The point is\u2014who\u2019s that man?!”**
**”…”**

Moments later, the livestream abruptly ended.
Someone with quick reflexes managed to record the entire thing.

**Backstage Rest Area**

Fu Yuan never expected that a simple touch-up would turn into such a massive news story.

Atong blamed herself. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s all my fault. I should\u2019ve stayed with Sister Mang.\u201d
She had gone to get an ice pack for Qin Mang\u2019s eyes, thinking it might help reduce the redness before she went on camera.
Qin Mang always demanded perfection, especially when it came to her looks.
Red eyes didn\u2019t match her style as a proper heiress.

But now wasn\u2019t the time for blame.
If anyone *were* to be blamed\u2014

Fu Yuan glanced at the man reclining lazily on the single sofa, his features cool and aloof.
**He** was the real culprit.

No one else dared confront him\u2014except Qin Mang, who was fuming.
**”Did you do that on purpose?”**
**”You must be jealous that I\u2019m about to become a superstar in the entertainment industry!”**
**”Sabotaging me on purpose!”**
**”I didn\u2019t think you were such a scheming bastard!”**

As always, Qin Mang\u2019s vocabulary for insults didn\u2019t go beyond \u201cscheming bastard.\u201d

Since she had practically dragged him into the makeup room earlier, He Lingji remained patient today and let her vent.
He gently twisted open a thermos with his clean, elegant fingers, blew on it, and held it to Qin Mang\u2019s lips.
**”Your voice is getting hoarse.”**
**”Drink something to soothe it before continuing.”**
Wouldn\u2019t want her to lose her voice before she cried her heart out back home.

Qin Mang glared at him with her sharp, black-and-white eyes.
She *got* the implication behind his words!

Seriously\u2014he was still thinking about *that* at a time like this?!

**Damn it!**

The next second\u2014
He Lingji turned to Cong Zhen with his usual calm demeanor and issued a crisp order:
**”Start PR. Immediately.”**

Meng Ting exhaled in relief. \u201cPhew, thank goodness.\u201d

He zoomed in on a screengrab of the video on his tablet. \u201cMost of President He\u2019s face was blocked, and his front wasn\u2019t caught on camera. It\u2019s not unrecoverable.\u201d

Because the paparazzi was too flustered and shaky, and Qin Mang had reacted quickly to cover most of He Lingji\u2019s face with her hand, the blurry video only showed his sharp jawline and clean side profile.

But before that, the camera had briefly caught him holding her and the two of them talking.

The PR team moved quickly.
They redirected the narrative and buried the harmful rumors about Qin Mang.
After all, this was a golden opportunity for rival camps to stir up drama and throw shade.

As for the final decision\u2014
It still lay in Qin Mang\u2019s hands.

Most popular celebrities would pretend nothing happened unless the news blew up or the man\u2019s identity was exposed.
It all depended on whether the artist was willing to go public.
There were pros and cons to either choice.

**Knock knock.**
There was a timid knock at the door.

A staff member asked cautiously, \u201cUm… Teacher Qin, are you still doing the interview?\u201d
**”It\u2019s about to begin.”**

Before Fu Yuan could say no\u2014
Qin Mang took a sip of the warm water He Lingji had handed her.
Her red lips looked more hydrated.

She stood up first, lightly adjusted the black shawl draped over her arms, and walked out.
**”Yes. I\u2019ll do the interview. Just the chance to clear things up.”**

Why should *she* feel guilty and hide? It\u2019s not like she did anything wrong.
She was never one to run away.

Meng Ting, knowing her temper all too well, got up in a panic, terrified she might do something irreversible.
**”W-Wait! How exactly are you going to clear it up?”**

Qin Mang turned back and shot a glare at someone, then sneered:
**”What else? I\u2019ll just admit it.”**

**”That scheming bastard really lucked out.”**

**Interview Segment**

Everyone assumed that after such a scandal, Qin Mang would avoid the press and sneak away.
To their surprise, not only did she show up\u2014she was the **first** to walk onto the stage, calm and composed.

She even took the mic and looked directly at the now-silent crowd of reporters, her voice soft and clear:
**”Any questions?”**

After all, the movie premiere was still the main focus. She added:
**”Only one personal question allowed. The rest must be about the film.”**

Her move completely stunned the reporters.

Two seconds of awkward silence later\u2014
A young journalist at the front reacted quickly:
**”Teacher Qin, who is the man trending on the hot searches?”**

That\u2019s how entertainment reporters operate.
Instead of asking *what’s your relationship*, they ask *who is it*.
If you ask about the relationship, the answer might just be \u201ca friend\u201d or \u201ca family member.\u201d

Qin Mang, dressed in a stunning, elegant cheongsam with red lips and black hair, her glamorous looks radiant under the lights, held the mic with her delicate fingers.

She heard the question and smiled, not flustered at all about being caught in a dating scandal.
Instead, she boldly declared:
**”We were practically kissing. Who else could he be?”**

**”He\u2019s my man.”**

Those last five words echoed powerfully through the speakers, reverberating in all directions, making sure no one missed it.

Meng Ting silently covered his face.
**He knew it.**

> **#QinMangGoesPublicWithRomanceAtPremiere**
> Crushed all other hashtags and shot to the top of trending.
> \\#1 on the hot search.

**”Is Qin Mang crazy? She\u2019s not even made it big yet and she\u2019s going public?”**
**”Career fans turning anti now.”**
**”No matter how pretty, she\u2019s got a terminal case of love brain.”**
**”Let\u2019s dig, dig, dig\u2014first wild herbs, then his kidneys\\~”**
**”LOL, her speech was peak love-brain energy. Big beauty should focus on her career, not some guy. Open your eyes\u2014does he even match up?”**
**”Sis, with your face, kissing anyone is a downgrade! Wake up!”**
**”Qin Mang fans in collective meltdown.”**

Most fans were devastated.
To them, Qin Mang was supposed to shine brightly, unique and dazzling on the awards stage\u2014
Not get distracted by romance.

Still, a few casual viewers or rational fans said:

**”Am I the only one who thinks the guy looks kinda hot? Blurry, but he\u2019s way taller than Qin Mang, and that jawline is killer! I study sculpture\u2014his proportions are *perfect* (whispers).”**
**”Let\u2019s shake hands\u2014I didn\u2019t dare say it either…”**
**”Qin Mang is too cool. Publicly owning it? I love her even more!”**
**”She\u2019s not a minor, who cares if she dates? You want her to wait until she\u2019s old to find love?”**
**”When you\u2019re in love, who doesn\u2019t want to be young and reckless? Once you’re old, you can\u2019t even be wild if you tried!”**
**”Bro, you\u2019re being sus. But I have no proof.”**
**”Let\u2019s focus on the acting.”**
**”She didn\u2019t cheat, didn\u2019t get caught with a sugar daddy. What\u2019s the scandal here?”**
**”How do you know it\u2019s not a sugar daddy? There were rumors she had a backer.”**
**”With that jawline and those hands? No way he\u2019s old…”**
**”Could he be… shrimp-type?”**
**”Gasp… could it be a male celeb at the premiere?”**
**”!”**

**Back at the Lakeside Manor**

Qin Mang lay lazily on her bed, scrolling through Weibo.
As long as He Lingji\u2019s face wasn\u2019t exposed, she didn\u2019t care about going public. It just meant fewer suitors throwing her business cards.

Besides, she never liked lying to fans\u2014
She had never pretended to be single.

She scrolled through netizens\u2019 wild guesses like she was watching a drama.
They guessed everyone\u2014from the male lead and second lead of *Dreams of Old Beijing* to every male celeb at the premiere\u2014
Except He Lingji.

After all, the media didn\u2019t even dare point a camera in his direction.
He was always low-key. Even attending the premiere was done discreetly.
Very few people knew he was even there.

She didn\u2019t care about the rest\u2014
But!

Saying she had bad taste? That was crossing the line!

**Shrimp-type, my ass.**
Her He-ge was obviously **fairy-type!**

She had agreed to the arranged marriage at first sight just because of that face.
If she was going to marry someone eventually, might as well choose someone clean, good-looking, and rich.
He Lingji was the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me. He met all her standards.

So she refused to back down.

**Qin Mang V:** *”My taste is impeccable! If he wasn\u2019t a rare beauty, I wouldn\u2019t even look at him.”*

**”Wait\u2014this is the first time I\u2019ve heard someone describe a man as \u2018a rare beauty in the mortal world.\u2019”**
**”LOL. Does your man know how you\u2019re introducing him to the public?”**
**”Hahaha I can\u2019t\u2014classic Miss Qin!”**
**”Of course! Only our heiress would dare to speak and act so boldly!”**

Thanks to Meng Ting\u2019s habit of calling her “Miss Qin,” her fans had also started using it affectionately.

**\u201cOh my god, if even someone as stunningly beautiful as Qin Mang is called a ‘worldly enchantress’, then how handsome must this man be?\u201d**
**\u201cMaybe it’s just love being blind?\u201d**
**\u201cI don\u2019t believe it\u2014no photo, no truth!\u201d**
**\u201cIf he\u2019s really that handsome, why not show his face?\u201d**
**\u201cUnless there\u2019s a frontal photo, I\u2019m not buying it!\u201d**
**\u201cPfft, the more ordinary people are, the more confident they act\\~\u201d**

Qin Mang glanced at the so-called \u201cworldly enchantress\u201d who had just come out of the bathroom. Her slender white fingers leisurely typed a reply:
**Qin Mang V: Provocation won\u2019t work. What\u2019s mine, stays hidden.**

The next second, her phone rang sharply.
It was Meng Ting, who had noticed the little troublemaker causing a stir on Weibo again.
**\u201cPlease, Ancestor, stop touching your phone!\u201d**
**\u201cIt\u2019s such a beautiful moment\u2014spend some quality time with President He, will you?\u201d**
**\u201cI\u2019m begging you!\u201d**
**\u201cStop clapping back at netizens!\u201d**
**\u201cOnce the movie is out, people will shift focus to your work.\u201d**
**\u201cRight now we have to endure. We can\u2019t afford to fight back yet!\u201d**
**\u201cActors without works\u2026 are really in a humble position.\u201d**

But asking this young lady to be humble? Impossible.

Qin Mang sneered, \u201cWho\u2019s having a romantic moment with him?\u201d
As she spoke, the corners of her eyes lifted slightly, giving a sideways glance at the man walking toward the bed. She tilted her exquisite chin and drawled,
**\u201cPresident He\\~ the guest room is your destination tonight.\u201d**

He Lingji bent down slightly,
**\u201cPlanning to back out?\u201d**
**\u201cWho agreed to anything with you?\u201d**
Qin Mang was firm in denying it.

But instead of getting angry, He Lingji laughed. He was used to Madam He going back on her word.
Still, he had more than one way to make her cry.
And he wasn\u2019t one to forget grudges. The screenshot Ruan Qizhuo had sent him earlier\u2014of her Weibo post\u2014had triggered a dangerous glint in his eyes.

**\u201cHe Lingji, you\u2019re a beast!\u201d**
He Lingji responded smoothly,
**\u201cA worldly enchantress needs to live up to the title. Madam He, in which area\u2014on or off the bed\u2014is your husband most outstanding?\u201d**

Qin Mang: \u201c\u2026\u201d
**\u201cI was\u2026 complimenting you.\u201d**
So why hold a grudge?

Qin Mang refused to admit her own twisted sense of humor.
**\u201cMm.\u201d**
He Lingji nodded calmly,
**\u201cThen allow me to prove that your compliment was spot on\u2014with action.\u201d**

That night, Qin Mang\u2019s voice turned hoarse\u2014not from shouting, but from crying.
President He always kept his word.
So all that filled Qin Mang\u2019s mind was\u2014

**Forget \u201ccelestial being.\u201d
He was a beast in human form.**

After netizens realized they couldn\u2019t dig up any real info about Qin Mang\u2019s boyfriend, things finally quieted down.
Especially when\u2014

On the first day of its release, *Dreams of Old Beijing* surpassed 100 million yuan at the box office.
On day two, it passed 200 million.
Day three, over 300 million.
The film skyrocketed in popularity, sweeping the internet. Qin Mang\u2019s acting was once again the focus of attention.
Everyone had once been dazzled by her beauty\u2014and underestimated her talent.

Nobody cared about those gossip rumors anymore.
All that peachy scandal?
It meant nothing in the face of absolute talent.

Qin Mang had a busy Spring Festival. The vacation she had planned fell through.
Fu Yuan insisted she capitalize on the momentum: pack the schedule, increase media content\u2014
All to divert attention from the news on the day of the premiere.

The film\u2019s popularity kept soaring\u2014
Even the elite housewife circles were hooked.
Including Madam He, who watched *Dreams of Old Beijing* videos on loop every day. She knew the script by heart.

The elegant living room that once displayed antique oil paintings\u2014
Now featured a massive framed poster from the film.

A young woman in cool black tactical gear, slender fingers toying with a silver handgun, lips curled in a seductive smirk\u2014dangerous and bewitching beauty incarnate.

Madam He loved that poster the most.
She even requested the original print.

When Lou Tingdai came to visit for the New Year, it was the first thing she saw.
The striking poster completely clashed with the mansion\u2019s classic decor.
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly composed herself.
**\u201cHappy New Year, Auntie.\u201d**

Madam He put down her iPad and beamed at her, waving her over.
After some small talk,
She noticed Lou Tingdai glancing at the poster now and then.

Smiling, Madam He asked,
**\u201cYou think that poster of Mangmang is beautiful too?\u201d**

Lou Tingdai replied,
**\u201cI\u2019m a bit timid. Miss Qin\u2019s expression with the gun scares me.\u201d**
**\u201cYou\u2019re brave, Auntie.\u201d**

**\u201cHahaha, it just shows how good our Mangmang\u2019s acting is.\u201d**
Madam He praised her without reserve.

She wasn\u2019t concerned at all.
She even explained the plot of the poster to Lou Tingdai enthusiastically.

Lou Tingdai: \u201c\u2026\u201d

She had no shortage of patience\u2014especially when dealing with Madam He.
Even if the person being praised was the woman she disliked most.

Eventually, when Madam He finally stopped gushing,
Lou Tingdai found a chance to bring up the earlier incident about her background being exposed on the He Group forums.

**\u201cI didn\u2019t want to doubt Miss Qin\u2026 but the people who knew about this were all those I trust most.\u201d**

Of course, she meant Madam He\u2019s family.

Then, as if realizing she\u2019d gone too far, she softened her tone,
**\u201cAuntie, maybe Miss Qin has a misunderstanding about me\u2026\u201d**

Her fingers clenched in her palm as she forced herself to hold back tears\u2014
Looking so fragile and pitiful it was heartbreaking.

**\u201cYou know me, Auntie. I\u2019m well aware of my position. How could I possibly think inappropriate thoughts about President He?\u201d**

**\u201cWhat position or status? We\u2019re all just people\u2014there\u2019s no such thing as high or low.\u201d**

Madam He had watched her grow up, step by step, from a small mountain village to the capable woman she was now.
She was proud\u2014and sympathetic toward her background.

However\u2014

**\u201cMangmang definitely didn\u2019t do it. She\u2019s like her uncle\u2014if she holds a grudge, she\u2019ll deal with it on the spot. She doesn\u2019t play petty mind games.\u201d**

Madam He fussed with the fresh flowers flown in that day.
She didn\u2019t mean anything by it, but to Lou Tingdai, it sounded like an insult\u2014
As if she were saying Lou was scheming.

Seeing Lou lower her eyes,
Madam He, thinking she was just sensitive, patted her hand.

**\u201cMangmang and the others will be here for dinner soon. If there\u2019s a misunderstanding, clear it up face to face.\u201d**

\u2026

Naturally, Qin Mang had come with He Lingji this time.
But as soon as they arrived, He\u2019s father stopped him at the door.
**\u201cLingji, come to the study.\u201d**

He responded but didn\u2019t move.
Instead, he turned to look at Qin Mang, who was nervously tugging at his sleeve.

She hadn\u2019t joined him on New Year\u2019s Eve due to work.
If his uncle found out, she was definitely in trouble.

Yet, strangely, the He family hadn\u2019t insisted on her returning that night.
She\u2019d even wondered if they were ready to give up on the Qin family\u2014
And let He Lingji marry someone more obedient.

A thin layer of snow had fallen the night before,
Weighing down the wisteria vines.
The morning sun was bright and soft, painting the ancestral courtyard like a poetic dream.

At that moment,
He Lingji looked down.

The girl clutched his sleeve pitifully, like a little white lion abandoned in the snow.

His lips curved slightly.
**\u201cDon\u2019t worry. Mom won\u2019t blame you.\u201d**

Thinking of the last time they were here,
His tone took on an amused edge,
**\u201cGo to the living room. There\u2019s a surprise.\u201d**

**A surprise?**
Qin Mang lifted her lashes, unconvinced.
She had a feeling he was up to no good.

But this time, He Lingji wasn\u2019t teasing her.
There really was a surprise.

Lou Tingdai got up like the hostess and greeted her,
**\u201cMiss Qin, please have a seat.\u201d**
**\u201cAuntie is in the kitchen.\u201d**

At the mention of that, her expression faltered briefly.
Madam He had suddenly remembered a dish Qin Mang liked and gone to add it to the menu.

Qin Mang looked at the figure standing by the black leather sofa.
Her beautiful eyes lifted slightly\u2014
Her thoughts already beginning to wander.

**Could it be that the He family really prepared a backup Mrs. He?**

Qin Mang might not be the one who posted on the He Group\u2019s employee forum, and she didn\u2019t know Lou Tingdai\u2019s identity either. Seeing her sit here calmly as a distinguished guest, she assumed Lou\u2019s family must have some connection with the Hes.

Plus, Lou\u2019s position in the He Group\u2019s upper management was unknown.

Naturally, suspicions arose.

But when her gaze unintentionally swept to the large poster above the black leather sofa, her red lips suddenly curved upward.

She smiled.

**So this is the surprise.**

As for Lou Tingdai\u2014

(*The text here seems garbled or corrupted. It likely intended to describe Lou\u2019s mood or expression, possibly something like “Lou\u2019s expression turned cold\/stiff.”*)

\u201cMiss Lou, with that attitude of yours, someone who didn\u2019t know better would think I\u2019m the guest at *your* house,\u201d Qin Mang said bluntly.

Lou Tingdai hadn\u2019t expected Qin Mang to be so direct.

She choked slightly.

Taking a gentle breath, she forced herself to stay calm\u2014especially in front of Qin Mang.

**Just a brash, brainless woman.**

Lou smiled again, \u201cNo wonder Auntie praises your acting skills.\u201d

\u201cIndeed.\u201d

\u201cYour acting really is superb.\u201d

At first, Qin Mang didn\u2019t catch the sarcasm\u2014after all, the compliment sounded quite sincere.

So she replied politely, \u201cThank you.\u201d

Lou\u2019s newly forced smile stiffened again for a second.

\u201cCan you stop pretending to be clueless?\u201d

\u201cDaring to post on the employee forum to slander my background\u2014now you don\u2019t dare admit it?\u201d

Qin Mang\u2019s dark, crystal-clear eyes flashed with confusion.

She looked at Lou Tingdai as if watching a fool perform.

\u201cWhat employee forum? What background?\u201d

Her beautiful, striking face was filled with innocence. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with your background?\u201d

What Lou hated most was this false innocence\u2014pretending to be pure-hearted and clear-cut in love and hate while being scheming underneath.

Seeing her refuse to admit it and still sprinkle salt on her wound, Lou couldn\u2019t help but bite her lip and sneer coldly:
\u201cYes, I\u2019m low-born. But you? If you weren\u2019t born a rich heiress, how could you ever match up to President He?\u201d

In her heart, He Lingji was like a god\u2014meant to remain high above the mortal world, admired by all, cold and indifferent. Regardless of noble or humble origin, he viewed everyone as ants, looking down on the masses.

**And now\u2014**

He had been tainted by an actress from the dirty entertainment industry like Qin Mang.

**Why?**

All because of the Qin family.

If Qin Mang were a nobody, how could she have pulled a god from his pedestal?

If He Lingji had always stayed high on his pedestal, she wouldn\u2019t have dared harbor even the slightest desire.

But now, for a woman with nothing but beauty, he had broken that pattern.

Qin Mang finally caught on and looked at her with a half-smile.

Even the young girl holding a gun in the giant poster above seemed to look down on her.

Just as she was about to speak\u2014

A cold, distant voice suddenly rang out:

**\u201cThe world is lowly\u2014only she is worthy.\u201d**

Qin Mang suddenly looked up. A man in a black coat walked over slowly, cold and noble. His thin lips parted slightly:

**\u201cTrue nobility comes from the heart.\u201d**

**\u201cSo does lowliness.\u201d**

As he said the last four words, He Lingji\u2019s gray-blue eyes swept past the now-pale Lou Tingdai without a trace of emotion.

**Who he meant\u2014was obvious.**

Qin Mang leaned lazily on a pillow, propping her chin with a smile at He Lingji.

**President He was 2.8 meters tall today!**

**Totally qualified to join the dinner table.**

She was just about to praise him\u2014

When He Lingji\u2019s meaningful gaze landed on her.
\u201cGet up.\u201d

\u201cHuh? Why\u2026\u201d

\u201cI\u2019m tired.\u201d

Qin Mang acted spoiled as if no one else were around.

He Lingji\u2019s usually cold voice softened a little, \u201cDirty.\u201d

\u201cHave them change the sofa before you sit.\u201d

**Dirty?**

Lou Tingdai, who had reached the door, nearly tripped.

Her face was full of self-mockery.

Yes.

Her background would always be dirty.

Qin Mang looked at He Lingji\u2019s cold and ascetic side profile and suddenly wanted to tease him. She reached out and poked his wrist bone\u2014like a piece of art.

\u201cHey\\~\u201d
