“Yun Li, it’s almost your turn. Get ready!”
“Got it.” Yun Li immediately stood up to show she was taking it seriously, then thought for a moment and asked, “Director, should I act according to the original script, or the revised version from Assistant Director Chen?”
Hearing this, the director’s head slowly turned toward Chen Xuan.
Wait—this kid actually rewrote it for real? He thought he was just joking.
“You… show me what you wrote,” the director said. After all, Chen Xuan had been sent over by a big investor—he couldn’t afford to offend him too badly.
Chen Xuan lifted his chin proudly and handed over his “masterpiece” written overnight.
The director flipped through it casually at first—then his eyes gradually widened more and more.
Chen Xuan: Heh, this is in the bag.
Little did he know, the director was actually about to explode.
This was supposed to be a youth校园 (campus youth) web drama—how did the male and female leads end up cultivating immortality in the end?!
Where did this even take place now? Was this still China?!
Even the director, despite his status, couldn’t hold it in anymore. He slapped the script back into Chen Xuan’s hands.
“If we actually film this, my reputation will spread across the entire industry—and it’ll all be trash reputation!”
“Use the original script. Don’t look at this nonsense.”
Yun Li silently nodded. She knew it—Chen Xuan’s chaotic script would never pass.
Ignoring that mess, she took a deep breath and fully entered performance mode.
This scene was the moment the male and female leads first meet in the entire story.
Inside Yunduan High School, Class 26 was noisy and chaotic.
Outside the classroom, the sound of the teacher’s high heels was getting closer and closer, but the noise inside didn’t quiet down—instead, it grew even louder.
A girl kept her head lowered, hiding behind the teacher’s back.
“Bang!”
A loud landing sound rang out, and the entire class instantly fell silent.
The girl curiously lifted her head—and met the amber-colored eyes of the boy below her.
Thus, the story begins.
……
After finishing his scene, Shen Sixing frowned as he looked at the unusually “intimate” interaction between the male and female leads inside the studio.
“Does acting require being this close?”
“Uh… that’s what the script says. If you didn’t want it, you should’ve said so earlier. My revised script doesn’t have any intimate scenes at all,” Chen Xuan replied faintly.
Clearly, he still held a grudge over being laughed at earlier.
“Grow up…” Shen Sixing didn’t bother with him and instead went to communicate with the director.
After some friendly discussion, the director decided to change the kiss scene into an “implied” (fade-to-black / suggestive) version. Both sides were satisfied with the deal.
At this moment, Yun Li on set had no idea her on-screen first kiss had just been saved.
She lightly touched the pocket containing chewing gum, feeling a bit nervous.
Time flew by, and the entire day of filming quickly ended.
During the day, Yun Li had gotten to know almost everyone on set—except Xin Yu.
As the female third lead, Xin Yu didn’t have many scenes, but she still had some.
Based on her earlier attitude toward Yun Li, Yun Li had expected some kind of confrontation today.
Unexpectedly, Xin Yu didn’t show up at all. Yun Li even noticed the director making multiple phone calls, his face growing darker each time.
Only when filming was completely wrapped did Xin Yu finally arrive—late.
And she wasn’t alone.
Beside her stood a man.
One look nearly made Yun Li’s eyes go blind.
Gold chain, gold watch, branded logos everywhere from head to toe—dense, overwhelming branding covering his entire outfit. His suit couldn’t even hide his protruding belly.
Instead of looking rich, he just looked tacky.
What made Yun Li even more uncomfortable was his gaze.
His small eyes scanned her from head to toe. The moment he saw her face, a lecherous expression filled his eyes—so blatant it was disgusting.
Yun Li wasn’t someone who would tolerate this.
She met his gaze directly. “I already know I’m good-looking, but you’re staring a bit too long, aren’t you?”
“If you keep staring, be careful your eyes rot.”
Her voice carried killing intent at the end.
The fat man froze, then jumped in anger. He wrapped his arm tightly around Xin Yu, as if trying to prove something.
“Bullshit! There’s no woman I can’t get. I just don’t like someone like you—flat as a bean sprout.”
He grinned, revealing yellow teeth, and deliberately looked down at her chest and hips.
“If you beg me, I might even agree.”
Yun Li glanced at Xin Yu, who was being forcibly held, and smiled.
“So you like this kind…”
She made a pinching gesture with her hand.
“So small and cute.”
A perfect critical hit.
Xin Yu felt the man beside her trembling with rage and quickly spoke up:
“Yun Li! Are you just jealous and trying to ruin me? Our Mr. Wang is the dream man of countless girls.”
“Mr. Wang… is also extremely powerful in bed. Far beyond what you could ever imagine.”
Halfway through, even she struggled to continue.
After all, while others were just talking nonsense—she had actually experienced it.
It wasn’t that bad… it was just completely unimpressive.
Xin Yu felt like even using a sanitary pad would feel better than that thing.
Oh?
Looks like I guessed right~
Seeing Xin Yu’s ugly expression, Yun Li almost laughed again.
“Really? I heard that fat men tend to have poor performance in that area. I’m truly worried about your… happiness.”
Just like how, if someone says a very handsome person is ugly, that person would never get angry—instead, they’d probably just find it laughable. But if someone is genuinely ugly, they’ll immediately lose their temper.
Right now, Mr. Wang, the fat man, was exactly in that state.
Both Mr. Wang and Xin Yu’s expressions darkened completely. Xin Yu opened her mouth, ready to lash out.
“Xin Yu! When the investor recommended you to me before, I really had to go through a lot just to agree.”
“And the contract clearly states you must show up on time. But you were late by an entire day! Now everyone is about to get off work, and you show up just to put on a performance—what’s the point?!”
The director was truly furious this time. That investor had persuaded him for a long time—and even thrown in money—before he finally allowed Xin Yu to join the crew.
Who would’ve thought she would cause such a huge problem on her very first day?
The director deeply regretted it. If he had known what kind of person she was, he wouldn’t have let her into the production even for double the money.
“If you still have this attitude tomorrow, you don’t need to come anymore,” the director said sternly, not even looking at her after finishing.
Watching the director storm off, it was clear he was genuinely angry.
For productions like this, both parties are bound by contracts that require heavy compensation for violations. The director was willing to risk paying penalties just to kick Xin Yu out of the crew.
Now Xin Yu truly had no way to defend herself, and she silently began to resent the fat man beside her.
Last night, she had already told him she had work the next day—but he insisted on clinging to her and forcing several rounds, which made her oversleep and miss her morning alarm.
And when she finally did wake up, that same fat man dragged her again—several more times. Each time lasted only about five minutes, but he needed an hour of rest in between.
The more Xin Yu thought about it, the angrier she became, and even Yun Li in front of her began to feel resentment in her mind as well.
