It was already early summer, the bright sunny weather has been just perfect to do the outside scene.
The scene to be shot was the part everyone was getting ready for the palace banquet in celebration of the Harvest Festival. The Emperor along with his wife and Princess Sun were parading down the city as people praised and cheered them. Especially since Princess Sun was known as a Phoenix Goddess who was the reason for the fruitful harvest.
For such a quick scene, everyone felt drained and exhausted. Especially the actors and actresses since they need to wear layers of the traditional dress on such a hot day.
"Cut!" The director shouted as he wipes the sweat on his forehead. "Every take 10."
As everyone looked for their own shades to hide, a group of people entered the set carrying a container of ice cream. Amongst them was a young man dressed in a suit.
"It's President Yun."
"My gosh, it really President Yun."
"Yiyi, your boyfriend is here."
When Long Yiyi heard people praising her boyfriend, she charmingly acts shy as she approached the man.
"Bro Yun, I didn't know you were coming?"
"If I told you, would you be surprised?" The man said as he wraps his arms around the girl.
Everyone was all in thrill as they watch the couple show their affection towards each other.
Long Yiyi then grabs hold of the man's arm as she introduces him to every one of the staff. However, she could not find the person she really wishes to introduce to her boyfriend.
'Darn it, where is that girl? I bet she'll be so jealous when she sees Bro Yun.'
The man excused himself from the crowd as he went for a break, as he was walking by... He suddenly collided with someone, as he held onto that person's shoulder and slowly pushed the person aside. He glances at the person who bumped into him, and for a moment, he was taken aback captivated by the woman's beauty.
"I'm sorry."
The woman apologized and excused herself without any further words leaving the man curious about who she is.
As the man returned to where everyone was, he glanced at the crowd checking around if the woman earlier was nearby.
'I wonder who that girl was earlier? How come I can't see her anymore, was she just an extra?'
"Thanks, President Yun, we are all now refreshed. So a few more minutes break and will start again." Director Ge said, then everyone started cheering and thanking Long Yiyi and President Yun.
Long Yiyi then grabbed her phone and took a picture with everyone and posted it on her SNS account.

It didn't take long for Long Yiyi's fans to comment on the photo which made Long Yiyi happy.
"Princess Yiyi is so lucky to have such a boyfriend."
"My dear Yiyi, can you give me some ice cream too?"
While everyone was busy praising the couple.
Wang Ji and Liying were panicking as they were searching for someone.
...
As President Yun left, everyone quickly went back to work.
Wang Ji and Liying finally came across each other...
"Liying have you found her?"
"Manager Wang I haven't found her at all."
...
"Alright everyone place."
When the two of them heard the director preparing to shot, they glance at the set and noticed the girl was already on the set.
"Action!"
The Empress just found out the most heartbreaking news. She ponders if she should tell her beloved daughter. The fact they were still celebrating for the Harvest Festival. She gathers all her courage as she embraces the young princess tightly.
Her daughter was already not looking too well after the death of her daughter's teacher recently. Despite she was comforting her daughter, her eyes showed a sign of anger and detest to the person who tried to harm her beloved daughter.
"My child, my precious Princess Sun. You are my one and only purest daughter, whom I have carried for a long time. As a mother, I wish for you not to experience such pain again, but I don't want you to be blind by the truth..."
As the Empress slowly breaks down the truth to her daughter, the young princess collapse on her knees with such an expressionless expression.
"My child, always remember that your father and I love you," She said as she lowered herself to comfort the girl.
The princess did not respond at all, she was lifeless already. Despite the Empress was explaining the situation in a slow manner, she already knew what her mother's intention were...
"General Mu…"
The Empress was taken aback when the words came out of the young princess's mouth. She did not expect she'd known already.
Princess Sun got up on her feet as she walked towards the door. Despite her pale and upset expression, she gave her mother a reassuring smile.
She paused before the door to bid her mother farewell, but she then suddenly collapses on the ground as her vision when dark.
The Empress run to her daughter's side and cried, "My precious Sun…"
The Empress was in tears as she witnesses her daughter in such a state.
"Cut!"
"Well done everyone! That was an amazing take, Li Zi your sick expression was very impressive." The director said as they watched the playback.
"Li Zi..."
"Li Zi wake up!"
Everyone turned around as they heard the woman scream panicky all of a sudden. When they saw that the girl in Zheng Mi's arms all pale and unconscious, they all panic as they run towards them.
"Li Zi?" Wang Ji quickly grabs the girl in his arms as he runs out of the set.
"Sis Li Zi, wake up." Liying cried as she watched the girl being carried away.
...
Inside the car...
Liying was all in tears as she held the girl in her arms on the back seat.
"Liying don't worry, she'll be fine." Wang Ji said, seeing the girl was so heartbroken. But deep inside, he too was so worried that his hands were all trembling whilst driving.
Behind them, the director, and other staff followed them to the hospital.
