âBoss, the target has returned.â
âBoss, the target is just staring at Mo Li.â
âBoss, the target is having dinner with Mo Li.â

âTsk and he calls himself a member of the Han Family! Heâs more like a dog!â Han Shang was not dumb enough to believe that Han Xu was just there for no reason. Therefore, he had his people watch Han Xuâs every move. However, the result showed that Han Xu was indeed that useless.?Han Zhou told me to be careful of this Han Xu but based on my observation, Han Xu is no threat at all. The boy doesnât really think returning to the Han Family will help him with anything, does he? Then again, the threat here is Han Zhou. Is he trying to distract me with this Han Xu?
Han Shang knew Han Zhou didnât give him any advice for free, after all, they were also competitors.
The next day, when Mo Li got out of the car, she noticed Han Xu was waiting for her. She was confused. âAre you going to stay with the crew from now on?â Mo Li never expected Han Xu to wait for her. This was a problem because if he stuck to her like this, she wouldnât be able to conduct an investigation.
âYes, my brother hopes that I can spend more time to look after Miss Li Min, to be her bodyguard.â
Kang Zhi looked at Han Xu and shook his head. âYouâre going to be her bodyguard? You look like you need a bodyguard yourself!â
Han Xu didnât say anything but smiled helplessly.?Mo Liâs agent sure is naiveâ¦

âToday, weâll be filming the raining scene. Please prepare all the appropriate equipment. Prop people, get the water tank cars readyâ¦â The Director ordered people around.
âLi Min, for this scene, we are focusing on the power struggles between 2 countries. Fu Jinyingâs close friends are dying one after another. At the same time, the peasants are being affected by the war. Fu Jinying tries to save the world but the second male lead has managed to convince the Bat Queen that Fu Jinying was behind the blood plague even though he was actually the real culprit.â Xiao Ou went through the scene with Li Min but Xiao Ou noticed that Li Min wasnât really paying attention.
âAfter her fight with the Bat Queen, Fu Jinying was injured. In the throes of her injury, she saw the souls of her dead friends. She tried her best to chase after them but she couldnât catch up to them. Eventually, she cried and her wails of despair attracted the attention of Tai Sanâs God.â
Xiao Ou looked at Li Min worriedly. This scene was a very difficult one. This was the turning point in Fu Jinyingâs characterization. It was after this ordeal that she realized pure kindness would only be taken advantage of. There was a deep wealth of emotions in her epiphany. Xiao Ou had trouble envisioning Li Minâs performance capturing the nuances.
The director shouted, âLi Min, are you done? Ready?â
âOkay.â Li Min answered despondently.
âOkay, weâll start rolling!â
Li Min nodded mechanically before she turned to Liu Yang as if stating her dominance.?I can do this, I am not like her⦠I have both acting chops and looks. I am not some trash like her who only relies on her faceâ¦
Li Min started her performance. âNo⦠No⦠Senior brother, Lu Lu, Xiao Die⦠Please donât go! Donât leave me all alone!â Then Li Min fell to the ground, splashing water everywhere. âPlease⦠please donât goâ¦â
âCut! Li Min, that was too fake! This is already your 4th take.â The director looked at Li Min, shaking his head.
âDirector, give me one more try. I have the feeling down, Iâm sure I can nail it this time!â
âItâs alright. Li Min, you better go rest. Weâll move on to the other scenes for now.â
Jin Chuan looked at the woman and sighed. Li Minâs eyes dimmed like she suffered a huge blow. Then she exploded, âNo, please, I can do it, just one more timeâ¦â
Jin Chuan shouted at her. âLi Min, we donât have all day! Yours is not the only cut we need to take in the rain! Please be more understanding of the other cast members!â
Li Min was startled by the shout. Then she turned to shuffle towards the temporary awning. âFine.â
When she walked past Yang Liu, the latter uttered, âDonât be mad at Brother Chuan. You are not the only member of the cast. Granted I have no acting skills but at least I know my limits. If you canât act, then you canât act. It canât be forced.â
