Filming plot:

The day after the male protagonist went to the battlefield, the four female characters were bullied by the servants of the general's mansion. Unable to bear the injustice, they decided to leave.

Because they also saw through the female lead's ugly face.

She claimed they were servants she had bought, even if it was just a way to conceal their identities and avoid being discovered by spies from the enemy country.

But why make them do the dirty work that only the lowest servants do, day and night?

Are they just going to watch those servants bully them?

Clearly, with just a word from her, no one would dare to bully them so brazenly.

But what did she do?

He outwardly reprimanded the servants, but his tone sounded like he was secretly laughing.

When they were leaving, the female lead pretended to stop them and said some nice words to persuade them to stay. But in order to not seem like a bad person, she directly gave the second female lead a hundred taels of silver as a settlement fee.

What can one hundred taels of silver do in the capital?

An egg costs ten copper coins, and a steamed bun costs three copper coins.

Renting two tiled houses costs thirty taels a month, and one hundred taels would only last for three months.

Not to mention food and drink, buying some daily necessities, as the weather turns to autumn and winter, a few sets of clothes can cost more than ten ounces.

The old beggar told the second female lead not to take it, but she still took the hundred taels because she would have no way to get around in the capital without money.

Moreover, she has a mute younger brother to support, and she cannot let him suffer from hunger out of spite.

The year-long escape had exhausted him; he had fallen ill several times and nearly died. Having finally enjoyed two weeks of peace, she couldn't be so capricious as to refuse the hundred taels and let him return to the streets, begging for a living and enduring insults.

The second female lead, who had taken one hundred taels of silver, went to find a house in the slums. She rented only two tiled houses and a kitchen, which cost her more than twenty taels of silver.

After the four of them settled in, the neighbor went to find work, and the second female lead also found a job as a cook at a wealthy family's house. She worked there for a month and, because of her good cooking skills, she gained the appreciation of the matriarch, who wanted to make her the head chef, specifically responsible for the matriarch's three meals a day.

Upon seeing the second female lead, the head mistress, wary of her beauty, drove her out but paid her fifty taels in compensation.

The second female lead, who lost her job, felt hopeless about life. At that moment, her neighbor, who was on his way home from work, was stopped by several masked men who slashed him, leaving him with several fatal knife wounds and causing him to fall into a pool of blood.

If the second female lead hadn't discovered him in time and gone out to look for him, he probably wouldn't have seen the sun rise tomorrow.

She took him to a clinic for treatment, which cost over a hundred taels of silver to save his life. This also depleted her remaining money, making her feel that the road to revenge was endless.

After the neighbor recovered from his illness, there was no rice or food left in the house.

The second female lead went to the general's mansion to find the female lead, but was ridiculed and insulted. In the end, the female lead, to save face, gave her one hundred taels of silver, but asked her to do one thing: move to a small village outside the capital and not stay in the capital, for fear that the enemy spy would discover them.

The second female lead had no choice but to agree, because winter was coming and they needed money to survive until next spring.

So they moved to a small village outside the capital. The second female lead and her neighbor had no work, so they had to work even harder to learn martial arts.

In just three months, they made rapid progress, which made even the old man feel gratified.

The cold winter has passed, and the warm spring has arrived.

The second female lead and her neighbor went to look for work to support themselves. After being turned down once, they encountered a young master Zhao being attacked by several bad guys on the road. They helped him out, drove away the bad guys, and received a reward of several dozen taels of silver, but also got into trouble.

Those bad guys held a grudge and followed them for several days until they finally found their residence. That night, they set fire to the house they had rented, but luckily, the three of them escaped unharmed.

However, they had to compensate the landlord several tens of taels of silver, so the second female lead and her companions once again became penniless paupers.

The second female lead was unwilling to ask the female lead for money for food anymore, so she had to live with the three of them in an abandoned temple.

A few days later, the old man returned from outside and learned that his house had been burned down. He took out his only gold hairpin and pawned it for over a hundred taels of silver. He then rented a house so that he could finally have enough to eat.

When the neighbor went to look for work again, he encountered those bad guys. In a moment of impulse, he killed one of them. After the incident escalated, someone reported it to the authorities, and several officers came and arrested him.

The second female lead had no choice but to go to the general's mansion to find the female lead and beg her to rescue her neighbor.

Knowing the male lead would be returning soon, the female lead gave the second female lead a few hundred taels of silver to get rid of her. She didn't want the two of them to have a chance to meet, because the second female lead was prettier than her, and no man could resist her.

He was also afraid that the second female lead would reveal the truth and let the male lead know that she was the one who saved him.

The second female lead was utterly disappointed, but she still took the money and left, only to bump into the young master Zhao, whom they had rescued, on the street...

When this part of the story was filmed, half a month had passed. Gu Qingqing performed very well, persisting in filming every day, and she did not have the temperament of a spoiled young lady. She was hardworking and resilient.

Even Gu Mu admired her greatly, after all, it was a film studio, and the living conditions here were definitely not as good as in the capital.

But she never complained. She went to the set on time every day to rehearse with her co-stars, striving to show her best acting skills on camera.

She also frequently bought milk tea and ice cream for the entire crew, treating everyone with politeness and warmth. Unlike some actors who, relying on their fame, look down on everyone and act arrogantly.

During the two weeks of filming, Director Yang also grew to like Gu Qingqing very much. In addition to her high acting talent, good temper, dedication to her job, and sincerity, he also liked the young girl's youthful vivacity, which brought laughter to the entire crew every day.

In the past two weeks, Gu Qingqing has also gained a lot, met many people, and learned a lot about photography and filming.

In her spare time, besides exercising regularly, she also shares her experiences on Weibo. Her fans are amazed that she actually went to work, since her family is so wealthy that she could live a life of leisure and entertainment for several lifetimes and still not spend all her money.

Yet they still work so hard and diligently, which forces them to work and study even harder as well.

After all, having such a serious, outstanding, studious, and hardworking idol is truly awe-inspiring for fans, who admire them immensely.

During this time, Gu Jin and Gu En would come to the film set to keep her company every weekend, bringing her lots of delicious food and fun things.

Fu Jue was the only one who never came, because he took a private plane back to Italy after she joined the film crew.

After all, I've been in China for two or three months now, and I only planned to stay for a few days, but...

He stayed for two or three months, and the old man became curious and decided to come to China to find him.

In order not to affect her, he could only take this opportunity to return to Italy to appease the old man.

The main concern was that the old man might come and bother her, treating her like his granddaughter-in-law, which would scare her to death.

He never even confessed his feelings to her, let alone dated her, let alone got to the point of discussing marriage.

What if the old man frightens her? Wouldn't she be afraid of him and stay away from him?

So, after he returned to Italy, he tried to make the old man happy every day, only saying that she was his adopted sister.
