Chapter 309 - Heartache Picking the Script

“Tang Yin, which scripts do you think are better in here?”

There was a pile of scripts on the table in the studio.

The role of the Heavenly Spirit Princess that Xia Wanyuan played was rich in quality and deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone. Everyone liked her very much, and her ending was rather difficult to reconcile with. Even though the grand finale had already ended, the popularity caused by it on the Internet did not decrease at all.

Many production teams threw out olive branches to her, hoping to use her remaining popularity as the Heavenly Spirit Princess to promote their drama.

“There are three that are okay. One is the second female lead in a fantasy drama, one is the second female lead in a youthful style, and the other is the script for the first female lead in a small production team that I’ve never heard of.” Tang Yin pulled these three scripts out of a pile of documents.

“These three are indeed not bad. Let’s give these three to Wanyuan and see what she has to say.”

“Okay.”

When she returned home after the day’s meeting, Xia Wanyuan felt especially tired. Even though she had only listened for a day, she had spent a lot of energy and effort to understand the contents of the meeting.

Thinking of it this way, Jun Shiling had actually worked much harder than she had imagined after being in such a high-pressure job for so many years.

“What’s wrong?” Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s gaze, Jun Shiling turned his head.

“You’ve worked hard,” Xia Wanyuan said seriously.

Jun Shiling’s heart warmed. “Is your heart aching for me?”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

She was not a person who said one thing but meant another. She indeed felt that Jun Shiling made her heart ache.

She had once controlled the entire Xia Dynasty and had experienced the peak of power, so she could understand how people in power were treading on thin ice.

It was easy to be a useless ruler, but it was difficult to be a wise ruler.

Furthermore, in modern society, the competition in political, economic, and cultural aspects was much greater than her time.

“Then let me hug you, okay?” Jun Shiling’s expression was very solemn, but his expression was extremely serious, without the usual teasing.

“Mm.”

Jun Shiling waited until Xia Wanyuan nodded before pulling her into his arms, as if he was hugging a rare treasure in the world.

This hug was not charming at all and was filled with gentleness and cherish.

He felt that everything was worth it. The pain he had suffered when he was young, the sadness and loneliness he had felt along the way, seemed to have been gently erased by Xia Wanyuan’s words.

Jun Shiling had never believed in fate, but at this moment, he was extremely grateful that fate had sent her to him.

Xia Wanyuan received the script that Tang Yin had sent her. The first fantasy book was a big production with a famous director. Although she was only the second female lead, she was much better than the female lead of many low-cost dramas.

The second book was a youth school drama, but the story was a little old-fashioned. There were misunderstandings, abusive relationships, and a hodgepodge of in-laws. It gave Xia Wanyuan a headache.

The third book was a script for a small production. Xia Wanyuan flipped through it and was attracted by the plot.

Many television dramas nowadays were adapted from novels. The third script was an adaptation of a national novel called “Moon As Frost”.

Xia Wanyuan found the original novel and read the first ten chapters. Then, she decided to act in this role.

“Forget it, Brother Li. I still have a suite. I’ll sell this house and return to my hometown after paying my debts. Even if I think that my writing is good, what’s the use? Who would notice?”

“Let’s persist for a while more. What if that Xia Wanyuan is willing to accept our script?”

“How is that possible? I heard that the production team of ‘Above the Moon Palace’ also sent her a script. How could they abandon that kind of big production and come to our small production team?”
