Director Lan felt sorry for Ran Xueyi. He wasn't the only one who was looking forward to working with her. Peng Qinling, who fell for Ran Xueyi at first sight because of how remarkable and similar she was to the character she wrote in her novel, was absolutely heartbroken.
When Peng Qingling heard that Ran Xueyi was being forced to leave the cast, she protested and said that she won't be joining the production either, and she would like to pull them off the rights of her novel.
Unfortunately, Peng Qingling already signed a contract to let the filming production use her novel. Simply pulling back out of the production would mean she violated the agreement she signed and would be paying a hefty amount of money as recompensation for the parties involved.
Director Lan waited for Ran Xueyi to take everything in. It was too silent. Nobody was speaking on the other side of the phone. He became worried that this brought a lot of pain and heartache to Ran Xueyi.
