Chapter 37 - Filming Starts

The makeup artist started removing her headgear. Her last headgear was very heavy, and her neck suffered. It was only when the headgear was removed that she came alive as if she had been liberated.

At this moment, having finally finished packing her luggage, Du Qing entered the dressing room. She gushed excitedly, "Sister Yun! I just went to get the original film from the photographer. The photos are gorgeous!" Then, she lowered her voice sneakily and whispered into her ear, "You look rather compatible with Best Actor Chu."

Glancing at her phone, Bai Yun felt even more tired. Why was she tied up with Chu Jiang again!

'Why can't I escape the protagonist's world?' She sang silently to herself.

As for the photoshoot, the official Weibo post immediately rushed to the top of the trending list, causing Bai Yun to become even more popular. Although most people's attention was still on Chu Jiang, there were also many netizens who found Bai Yun really pretty and started following her on Weibo.

The netizens couldn't help but sigh. How many good deeds had Bai Yun done in her previous life to have such good fortune? Fancy being the woman that the Best Actor loved but couldn't get in the drama!

Scrolling through her phone as she sat on the set, Bai Yun swiped away the comments in disdain. 'Yes, yes. Best Actor Chu is the most noble and elegant while I'm not worthy.'

Too excited about the fact that filming was about to start, Bai Yun couldn't fall asleep last night, so she came very early this morning.

Today, she was to film the scene where Yun Xiang first met the prince. She only learned that filming was to start an hour later after arriving at the set.

Because Chu Jiang had an advertisement shoot in the capital, he had left in a hurry last night after the photoshoot.

Bored waiting on the set, she dragged her voice and recited her lines without emotion.

She was a little bored sitting there, so she started to squat down. It was only when a shadow blocked her that Bai Yun lazily raised her eyes and looked at the glamorous costume.

Bai Yun narrowed her eyes, dazzled by the hair accessories on her head under the white light in the studio. Feet numb from squatting, she couldn't move and could only wave awkwardly while squatting. "Hello."

As the woman lowered her head, her jade earrings tinkled. Bai Yun finally saw her face clearly.

The other party had very pure looks, but her head was covered in pearls and jade, making her look a little tacky. Her eyes met Bai Yun's, and her gaze was a little complicated and even carried a hint of disgust. "Bai Yun, stay away from Chu Jiang. He's mine."

Without giving Bai Yun a chance to say anything, she turned around and left.

Because she turned around so fiercely, Bai Yun even saw her tassel hit her cheek. Bai Yun touched her face reflexively. It looked so painful.

As she studied the script, Bai Yun quickly forgot about this matter. She tried to stand up, but her feet were so numb from squatting that she grimaced.

When Du Qing came in and saw Bai Yun acting like this, she subconsciously looked away. Sister Yun, image, image.

She approached Bai Yun with buns and soy milk. "Sister Yun, come and have breakfast."

Bai Yun looked at the buns and only took a cup of soy milk. Wagging her finger, she said, "Ah Qing, now that filming has started, I can't eat high-calorie food anymore. I have to watch my weight."

"But Sister Yun, you don't get fat from eating." To be honest, she had never seen Bai Yun's weight increase in the past. All along she remained fragile, weak, and thin.

Bai Yun shook her head. "You don't understand. My appetite has grown now." The original Bai Yun was so gloomy that she treated eating like punishment. How could she get fat like that?

She remembered that in reality, because of her lack of restraint, she had once gained some weight halfway during a filming. Hence, under the supervision of her agent, she began to eat calorie-reduced meals and go to the gym after filming. Only then did she manage to lose a ton of weight.

That lesson of blood and tears could not happen in this world again.

Just as she sipped her soy milk, she heard a commotion at the entrance of the film set and saw that the staff started to become attentive. Bai Yun snorted twice and straightened her back. Who else could it be but Chu Jiang?

Sure enough, Chu Jiang, who had already changed his clothes, appeared on the set.

He nodded politely at the group, looking like a superior patrolling the area.

Even she didn't make such a grand entrance in her previous life!

Seeing that he was approaching, Bai Yun quickly nodded obediently. She thought that he would simply pass her by, but surprisingly, he stopped beside her. "Thank you in advance for your guidance today."

In spite of her puzzlement, Bai Yun raised her head and replied in fear nonetheless, "No, no. I wouldn't dare."

Chu Jiang laughed mysteriously and walked to the dressing room.

By the time he was done with his makeup, the venue was almost ready.

Bai Yun found her position, picked up the pipa, and took a deep breath. At the thought of acting with the Best Actor Chu of this world, she found it difficult to suppress her excitement. She was going to act!

Once Chu Jiang was in place, the lights dimmed, and the lights cast upon them. "Action!"
