Snort–

There was a moment where Mo Guanyu’s facial expression cracked open. In just a second, he had transformed into a comedian. The others wanted to laugh, but they had to hold it in, while Ling even patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

The staff who were initially oppressed by the ferocious Li Li suddenly felt a lot lighter. They all thought the goddess would be difficult to get along with, but she was very easy to interact with. In no time, their fondness for her had risen significantly.

“Alright, enough teasing everyone,” Seeing that Shen Ruyin had actually arrived on time, Li Li ordered everyone to prepare quickly – it was time to start shooting.

As soon as Shen Ruyin set foot on the set, she saw the cheerful atmosphere among the others and Mo Guanyu. Her jealous gaze, as tangible as a sharp edge, was fixed on Qiao Xiaren.

How come Mo Guanyu and Li Li, who were usually so aloof and hard to approach, had become so friendly upon meeting Qiao Xiaren?

Everything was ready. Li Li looked into the camera lens and shouted, “Action!” As the clapperboard clapped shut, the female protagonist slowly made her entrance.

Shen Ruyin was playing Fang Qianping, the daughter of a doctor who was referred to as “Hua Tuo reincarnated.”

In the first episode, instructed by her father, she delivered medicinal herbs to the Family Head of the Nangong Family, thereby crossing paths with the male lead character, Jun Lin. It was the first time they met, a scene which was particularly picturesque.

The courtyard was filled with maple leaves that were neither yellow nor red, and through the gaps, sunlight streamed down in broken patterns. The camera captured the angle perfectly. The entire courtyard was filled with vibrant, delightful flowers – almost forming a background setting for the two lead characters.

It was already deep in autumn, and the servants were shuttling back and forth within the grand courtyard. The Fang Qianping portrayed by Shen Ruyin had a light flush on her cheeks. She tried sneaking past the young master while staring at her own robe’s hem, yet she couldn’t resist stopping by the most splendidly blooming flowers to steal a glance at Jun Lin under the pretext of smelling the flowers.

Jun Lin chuckled slightly, squinting his eyes knowingly. He understood this was a common tactic used by young maidens.

“Miss, you seemed to have dropped your handkerchief.”

Jun Lin stepped forward, bent down to pick up the pink handkerchief on the ground, and handed it to Fang Qianping. With a smile lingering on his lips, his ink-like eyes were gentle and warm and resembled mesmerising spring ripples.

For some reasons, Shen Ruyin was taken aback and her face gradually reddened. What was meant to be a scenically beautiful sequence was now ruined by Shen Ruyin, causing Li Li’s furious rage to ignite!

“Cut!”

Li Li abruptly stood up, picked up his megaphone, and began to roar: “Shen Ruyin, what on earth are you doing? Are you spellbound? Have you swallowed your lines? Have you seen a ghost? Can’t you even recite your lines or what? Show some commitment as an actress! Your expression is so rigid, are you acting like a zombie?”

Li Li’s roar was so loud that even Qiao Xiaren who was outside the scene could hear it. The entire crew seemed to shudder at his outburst.

Everyone was well acquainted with Li Li’s fiery temper; they were simply glad that they were not the subject of his wrath.

“I’m sorry, director, I’m truly sorry.”

Being scolded in front of everyone, Shen Ruyin quickly apologized. She felt extremely awkward. Looking at Qiao Xiaren’s indifferent expression, her heart filled with even more resentment.

Of course, Li Li paid no heed to Shen Ruyin’s expressions. He waved his hand and shouted: “Staff, take note, we’re doing it again! Stay alert!”

“Ready, action!”
