Yang Mi was rather vain. She believed that the only one capable of snatching the role from her was Yan Bingqing. That would be acceptable as the latter had a higher reputation and more resources.
Thus, when she learned that she had lost to a rookie with no track record, she was displeased.
When she found out that Yun Shishi would be at tonight's gala, she decided to check her out. In the end, she had nothing to criticize about this newbie. She also realized why Lin Fengtian had insisted on this girl to have the female lead role. Yun Shishi in her white gown seemed to have just stepped out of that teen novel. She even agreed with the director's choice to cast Yun Shishi as Yin Xiachun.
Yun Shishi could suss out the hostility in her words. She smilingly replied, "It's kind of Director Lin to give me the role; Shishi is nervous about it, too."
