âComing,â Si Fuqing called out in response, her voice bright and clear. âAunt Junci, Iâm off to film now.â
Ye Junci quickly replied, âAlright, alright, you go ahead. I wonât keep you.â
After the call ended, Si Fuqing began to change into her costume.
Over the past week, Mo Yanwen and JIANG Shuihanâs scenes had already been completed.
If it werenât for the fact that not everything had been shot yet, Director Lu would have been eager to release the first two episodes immediately.
Sitting in front of the monitor, he kept reminding himself to stay calm.
Si Fuqingâs first scene was set on JIANG Zhaoyueâs eighteenth birthday. Upon hearing that there was unrest in North State, she didnât even have time to attend her own birthday banquet. She immediately found the armor that JIANG Haiping had given her when she was a child.
After donning the armor, she went straight to the palace to request permission to go to war.
From that moment on, she never wore the red garments of a young maiden again.
âTeacher Siâs addition to the script is quite remarkable,â the screenwriter whispered to the assistant director. âAlthough JIANG Haiping was a stalwart warrior, he had a tender side too. After being away in battle for so long, and with JIANG Zhaoyue being his youngest daughter, itâs touching that he would seek out a gift for her.â
âThe fact that JIANG Zhaoyue wears the armor her father gave her, symbolizing the continuation of the JIANG familyâs legacy, is a beautiful touch.â
The assistant director nodded in agreement. âTeacher Si truly excels in whatever she does.â
âAbsolutely,â Director Lu interjected, having overheard the conversation. âEven JIANG Zhaoyueâs weapon was designed by her.â
Si Fuqing hefted the long spear in her hand but suddenly felt its weight, as if it had grown heavy.
She was different from the others.
The items JIANG Haiping had gifted to JIANG Zhaoyue were personally entrusted to her. She had traveled thousands of miles to bring them back to the capital, Yongâan, and had delivered them into the hands of the then seven-year-old JIANG Zhaoyue.
Perhaps even at that young age, JIANG Zhaoyue had already known this day would come.
Si Fuqingâs gaze hardened. âIâm ready. Letâs begin.â
Director Lu gave instructions to the camera crew, and the filming commenced.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuzhen had returned to the Ye family.
Seeing her emerge from Ye Zhenmianâs home with a dark expression, the housekeeper didnât dare say a word on the way back.
Old Madam Ye, turning her prayer beads, asked, âHow did it go? Did she agree?â
âMadam, Iâve never met someone who enjoys making such grand claims,â Ye Yuzhen replied, still amused by Si Fuqingâs words. âDo you know what she said? She actually claimed that she would help Ye Junci become a true Class A evolved being.â
Old Madam Ye, was shocked. âIs that even possible?â
âExactly.â Ye Yuzhen shook her head in disbelief. âDoes she think evolved beings are lab rats?â
To this day, neither the Evolved Beings Alliance Laboratory nor the Intercontinental Research Institute could fully ascertain the exact direction in which an evolved beingâs genes had mutated.
Moreover, there was no medical method capable of altering these mutated genes.
Did Si Fuqing think of herself as a god?
âIgnorance breeds fearlessness,â Old Madam Ye scoffed. âYou have contacts in the laboratory, right? Even Professor Kamal couldnât accomplish such a feat.â
âIndeed,â Ye Yuzhen sneered. âSheâs probably acted in too many dramas and lost touch with reality.â
âJust wait,â Old Madam Ye said with irritation. âWithout sedatives, sheâll come crawling back to you soon enough.â@@novelbin@@
Ye Yuzhen nodded in agreement, sharing the same thoughts.
As the servants busied themselves in the kitchen, the old madam and her family went out for a stroll after dinner.
âYuzhen!â As they were heading back, a womanâs voice called out from behind, stopping Ye Yuzhen in her tracks. âYou still have the mood for a stroll?â
Ye Yuzhen frowned and looked over, recognizing the woman as an evolved being of similar strength to herself.
Her expression turned cold. âWhy shouldnât I?â
âBecause your family has been upgraded to Class A!â the woman exclaimed. âAnd you didnât even tell me?â
Ye Yuzhen was momentarily stunned before she felt a surge of joy. âReally?â
Could it be that Ye Junci had already gone to the Evolved Beings Alliance Laboratory, and thatâs why the Ye family had received such a huge gift?
âOf course, itâs true. My son just came back from the Evolved Beings Alliance. The system has already updated your familyâs rating,â the woman said enviously. âFrom now on, youâll be entitled to Class A family resources.â
There were fewer than twenty Class A evolved being families in total. Even the Quinn family, which produced the enemies who had killed Ye Junciâs parents and had no fewer than ten Class A evolved beings, had not been elevated to Class A.
The woman was baffled as well. The Ye family only had Ye Junci, who was a Class A, and even then, her bloodline was unstable, making her a false Class A. How had they suddenly been upgraded?
Ye Yuzhen, though excited, maintained a composed exterior. âI truly didnât know. The Evolved Beings Alliance hasnât sent anyone over yet, so maybe they havenât informed us.â
âTheyâre here now, arenât they?â The womanâs sharp eyes spotted a group of people approaching the Ye family residence. âQuick, letâs go! Iâve never seen anything like this before.â
Ye Yuzhen also noticed the allianceâs emblem on the group. This time, she could no longer contain her excitement. âOld madam, letâs go!â
The family hurried over.
Old Madam Ye stepped forward and respectfully greeted them. âMay I ask, has our Ye family been elevated to Class A?â
âYes, it has,â the team leader responsible for delivering resources confirmed. âYour Ye family produced a Class A psychic-type evolved being, so of course, your rating has been upgraded.â
Upon hearing this, both Ye Yuzhen and Old Madam Ye were stunned.
A Class A evolved being? And a psychic-type?
Who?
Ye Yuzhen couldnât help but ask, âThere must be some mistake. Our family doesnât have a psychic-type evolved being, let alone a Class A.â
Before the team leader could respond, a cold voice rang out, âYes, there is.â
Ye Yuzhen whipped around and saw a car pull up in front of her.
The door opened, and Ye Junci jumped out, followed closely by Ye Luwen.
She took a few steps forward, stopping in front of Ye Yuzhen, whose expression was gradually freezing. With a faint smile, she said, âJust upgraded. Are you happy?â
Now, she was going to reclaim everything that rightfully belonged to her.
