The more the screenwriter thought about Xuan Ruo, the more affection she felt for the character. Before taking her leave, she gave Chu Xiang a warm hug and laughed. “You truly are my lucky star, for your understanding of Xuan Ruo not only managed to bring her character to life but even added the crucial finishing touch to my story! I never expected such a fascinating antagonist to appear in my script. Did you know? An interesting antagonist is far more difficult to write than a well-received protagonist. These days, rarely would you ever find an antagonist that stands out within a show. Initially, the main protagonist of this story was already well-written. With the appearance of such an interesting antagonist, the popularity of this show will definitely explode!”

Chu Xiang replied with a smile, “I’m also hoping for this show to create a spark within the industry. When that time comes, I certainly plan to ride along the coattails of its popularity.”

“Surely, you won’t need to do that. After all, you would have already gained much attention by that time. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck! We have many high expectations for you.”

With that, the screenwriter left in high spirits. But seeing the direction she was walking in, it did not seem that she planned to return to her room yet. Perhaps she was going to discuss the changes in the script with the director.

Through certain unknown methods, the screenwriter successfully dragged the director along with the new script. In any case, he had already made the decision to follow through with the version of the script that Chu Xiang made input in.

Xia Fei, the female lead of the show, did not seem very happy with the changes she read in the updated script. After all, the Xuan Ruo in the previous version of the script was, without a doubt, the villain of the show. Initially, the most impactful and satisfying moment of the show would be when she and the male lead eliminated the villain. But now…? Xuan Ruo would inevitably gain the pity of the viewers, completely removing the original climax of the show. Furthermore, it would definitely result in conflicting opinions of the two main protagonists.

Besides, Xuan Ruo would be depicted as a character following down the “correct” path and leave a lasting impression on the viewers. Wouldn’t all the glory and attention be shifted towards her character? For what reason did they decide to give a mere girl-number-three such an important role in the show? In fact, wasn’t that character simply stealing her spotlight as the female lead?

Feeling as if the changes should be revoked, Xia Fei decided to take matters into her own hands by talking with Director Lee. However, the changes had already been finalized. The only thing he could promise was that the main point would remain the same, and that the two protagonists would still have important roles with lasting impressions in the show. Moreover, he explained how a well-written antagonist would only benefit the show.

She could only accept the changes reluctantly, and even had to act normal and hold her emotions back in front of Chu Xiang. Since Zhou Ye had personally recommended her to the production crew, she naturally couldn’t afford to provoke her.

Thus, during the shoot, Xia Fei purposely increased the pressure of her strikes on Chu Xiang  during the fighting scenes in an attempt to teach her a lesson. To her surprise, however, not only did she fail to affect her in any way whatsoever, but she even messed up her own part of the script on several occasions. Despite shooting a total of four fighting scenes in a single day, she nevertheless failed to create any sort of trouble for Chu Xiang. As her frustration finally reached its peak, she immediately headed back home right after the shoot without looking back or saying a single word to anyone.

Perhaps it was during this exact moment when everyone in the production crew witnessed Chu Xiang’s true strength that they finally sincerely approved of her acting skills. As Director Lee became even stricter with Chu Xiang, she managed to make constant improvements with each shoot, polishing her skills in each take.

Initially, Director Lee’s promise to Zhou Ye about teaching Chu Xiang the ropes was but a mere conventional greeting. However, his opinion towards her as an actress had improved drastically since then. Not once did he ever hesitate to point her in the right direction. At the end of the day, Chu Xiang managed to finish shooting ten days worth of scenes. Experiencing this seemingly miraculous event, the entire production crew was exhilarated. Chu Xiang had also benefited greatly from this as she had just experienced a new yet interesting life in this world.

However, when the photo of the shoot’s conclusion was uploaded onto the web, all the internet users simply could not sit still any longer.

[Who is the person in the image? Isn’t that Chu Xiang? Why is she standing next to the director? Why is she dressed up for the shoot? Just who exactly invited Chu Xiang to participate in a movie shoot?!]

Immediately after seeing the uploaded images, the internet users started their investigation of the situation. Very quickly, they had already figured out that the attire that Chu Xiang wore was designed for Xuan Ruo’s character in the show. After digging deeper into the situation, they also discovered that the actress who was given Xuan Ruo’s part had accidentally injured herself and could not partake in the shoot. At this point, who wouldn’t have concluded that Chu Xiang had filled in the post for that role?

However, one had to understand that Xuan Ruo was initially depicted as a vicious and merciless villain in the story. On the other hand, didn’t Chu Xiang previously act in an idol drama as a sweet, naive young lady? Did the director seriously pick her as the replacement? Did he not consider the feelings of the fans of the novel?
