Ming Ge: Of course, I wouldn't refuse him~ (≧▽≦)/~
However, thinking about my own little safe becoming empty after taking out all my belongings, with a balance of 0.
Ming Ge: I feel like I'm gutted～(┯_┯)～

He went to the bank nearby to cash the check, and with five million appearing in his account, Han Sen immediately teared up, feeling immensely relieved.
When he turned back, Miss Ming Ge raised her slender hand, with her beautiful red lips curving slightly, "Stop there, no need for any sentimental words. If you really want to thank me, then put the production team back together properly."
A simple thank you was no longer sufficient to express Han Sen's gratitude.
Just when his dream was about to break and be buried in the sand, it was the girl before him who generously lent a hand, allowing his first life's work—also his passion—to revive from a desperate situation.
Many years later, when this future genius director reached heights unattainable to ordinary people, standing at the pinnacle, holding the trophy under the spotlight, what came to his heart was the memory of this seemingly ordinary afternoon that, in some way, changed the trajectory of his life.
The girl stood in the sunlight, her exquisite features bathed in a pale golden halo, speaking in a very calm and indifferent tone: "Han Sen, I believe in your ability."
Of course, all these are stories for another time.
At the moment, the young director who hadn't yet grown into a genius suddenly had a lightbulb moment.
"Sugar Daddy, why don't you play Female protagonist Zhuang Jiang in 'The Empress is on Top'?"
Han Sen originally just blurted it out on a whim.
But when his gaze swept over the girl's rose-like delicate and vibrant eyes and brows, her face too radiant to be vulgar, and her allure that was just tempting...
An idea popped up in Han Sen's head:
Isn't this exactly the Zhuang Jiang he was looking for?
'The Empress is on Top' is a time-travel drama, where a modern playboy travels to ancient times and becomes a young lady of the same name and of the Prime Minister Residence, Zhuang Jiang, and faces her imminent fate of entering the palace as a concubine.
Then, the godlike plot unfolds.
Zhuang Jiang uses 100 ways to avoid serving the Emperor, charms the six great beauties of the Emperor's harem, inadvertently causes princes and generals to bow at her feet, and at last, accidentally... turns the Emperor.
The woman before him, dressed in black leather and with lazy, flamed red lips and curls, isn't she just the embodiment of Female protagonist Zhuang Jiang – beautiful, assertive, and captivating?
Han Sen immediately determined—
No one suited the role of Zhuang Jiang better than Ming Ge!
This role seemed tailored for her!
Han Sen was a professional, meticulous and dedicated to his work, even risking the main investor pulling out, he still hadn't agreed to cast the investor's mistress as his female lead.
In the end, the main investor withdrew funding out of frustration, and the production team faced the crisis of disbandment.
Even his best friend couldn't understand him and left after a vehement question.
"Do you know how much money that is? Ten million! Without that ten million, our production can't move an inch, how can we talk about dreams?"
"It's just a female lead role. If she wants to play Zhuang Jiang, let her play. As long as the drama becomes a hit and we become famous directors, there will be investors coming to us. We won't have to take this crap anymore!"
"Han Xin, who shares your surname and perhaps was from the same family eight hundred years ago, even he had to suffer the humiliation of crawling through someone's legs when he was young and destitute. Yet later, he still became a marquis and prime minister, reaching the pinnacle among officials, and when recalling the past humiliations, he's still praised as a great man."
"Han Sen, do you really need to be so stubborn?!"
Indeed, why be so stubborn.
These days, Han Sen had been asking himself the same question.
And he came up with an answer—
If dreams could be used as stepping stones, than reaching the pinnacle would be meaningless.
Dreams that have once been trampled upon will never bloom.
Don't forget why you started.
This phrase constantly reminded Han Sen.
If today Miss Ming Ge wasn't the Zhuang Jiang of his mind, even if she was willing to invest another ten million, Han Sen would only smile apologetically and return the five million in full.
However, at this moment, the young director's eyes sparkled brightly, shining with blingbling luster, as if the girl in front of him was a treasure. He spoke solemnly:
"Sugar Daddy... no, Miss Ming Ge, I formally invite you to be Female protagonist Zhuang Jiang in 'The Empress is on Top'!"

'The Empress is on Top' is inspired by the popular web drama 'The Princess Weiyoung.' It's only a prototype for inspiration, and the content and details are different. Please do not project any stars into it.
Although this story is fictional, it inevitably adapts some variety shows from the entertainment industry based on reality. After all, if I come up with an original idea for a new and popular variety show, I might as well become a planner myself~
