The palace is deep and secluded, and even the wind seems to have stopped blowing. Under the tree, a pretty woman in palace attire holds a small rabbit and looks up at the sky, as if she wants to transform into a bird and fly out of this cage.

"Every brick in this palace is stained with the blood of countless innocent women..."

The woman sighed, then suddenly realized that the little pet in her arms had stopped moving. Looking down, she saw that the snowball-like rabbit was no longer breathing, with only a trace of blood on its lips.

Someone wants to kill her!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The woman's pupils contracted, and she screamed loudly, her face filled with deep fear. Her pupils dilated involuntarily, revealing her utter terror.

"Click!!!"

Director Wang slammed down the script in his hand and loudly praised:

"Fantastic! Meng Qing, you handled this scene perfectly! The fear in your eyes wasn't acting at all; I could feel your fear of death through the camera! Fantastic! Keep it up! You're a serious actor!"

The people around them also spontaneously applauded:

"Wow! To be able to understand the script in such a short time, Ms. Meng Qing is so dedicated!"

"Director Wang is truly amazing! We finally passed!"

"That was a one-take run! That's amazing!"

Even Meng Qing's agent breathed a sigh of relief and came over happily:

"Qingqing, your acting was absolutely phenomenal this time! You were amazing! It seems the acting classes the company enrolled you in were worth it! Director Wang rarely praises people, but if you keep this up, you'll definitely change everyone's opinion of you!"

"Waaah—"

The words Meng Qing wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

She was truly on the verge of tears.

Watching someone kill a rabbit is a completely different experience from watching a seemingly harmless, pretty woman smilingly snap a rabbit's neck.

The former at most had some blood on it, but the latter scene was so graphic that it made her scream and try to hug herself tightly!

In that instant, she felt that the way that young lady looked at the rabbit was like the indifferent look of a large carnivore looking at its prey—a kind of bloodline suppression from the top of the food chain!

The young woman's gaze was as if she were looking at fish on a chopping board, without a trace of emotion.

She wasn't acting; she was genuinely scared!

Meng Qing turned her head and saw that the young woman was carrying a sack and greeting the director as if nothing had happened. She couldn't help but shudder.

...

...

Upon seeing Meng Qing's behavior, Xu Milu vaguely guessed what Meng Qing was thinking, and for a moment she was both amused and exasperated.

She was a cook herself, and even the cutest rabbit was just an ingredient in her eyes. Besides, it was a meat rabbit bought from a farm, and it would be troublesome to take it out alive, so it was better to just kill it and make cold rabbit for dinner.

"Want a rabbit?"

Director Wang glanced at the sack, then at Cui Qingli, and immediately realized what was happening. He slapped his thigh and burst into laughter.

"I was wondering why Meng Qing suddenly became so insightful. So that's how it is—President Cui, that's not very kind of you. A girl with such a great temperament and qualities, it would be nice to bring her to our crew for a cameo role."

"This is my junior aunt, and she's my senior in terms of seniority. If I were to really bring her into the entertainment industry, my grandfather would have to resort to family discipline."

Cui Qingli said, half-truthfully.

"Grandpa Cui's beloved disciple? I really didn't recognize her. Forgive my poor eyesight. I've always heard that the old master took on a last disciple, but I didn't expect to see her today. She's so young and beautiful."

Director Wang isn't just interested in the entertainment industry; he's certainly heard of Cui Shengguo. Besides, his politeness towards Cui Qingli is partly due to the Cui family's influence.

His gaze towards Xu Milu became even more polite, and he asked with a smile:

"Is the old man still in good health? I saw him once last year, and I was thinking about when I could go back to try the Cui family's roast pork feast. Oh dear..."

Director Wang smacked his lips, looking nostalgic: "When I was filming 'The Great Zhou Dynasty,' I invited Master Cui Mingjue to provide guidance. As soon as those dishes were made, everyone on set was drooling."

Just as Xu Milu was about to answer, the dimensional jump system, which had been unresponsive until now, suddenly popped up on its own. On the light blue system panel, there was once again a familiar line of large characters:

[Fragment of the dimensional system has been discovered. Do you wish to repair the system?]

New dimensional jumper fragment?

How did I end up here?

Xu Milu was startled.

She never expected such a pleasant surprise while traveling, but there were just too many props on set, and with so many people around, she had no way of pinpointing which one it was.

Xu Milu could only suppress her excitement and smiled as she said to Director Wang:

"I had never seen a filming location before, and I only realized today that it was quite different from what I had imagined."

"Of course, everything in the shot is what we want you to see. We definitely can't let you see what's outside the shot, like these dead rabbits."

Director Wang waved his hand and said, "It's normal to be curious. If you like it, I'll have the production assistant show you around tomorrow. There's also a scene with Xue Feng tomorrow, so you can get an autograph or something."

Xu Milu readily agreed, then casually pointed to the props in the distance and asked, "Those are—the props we'll be using for tomorrow's filming, right?"

The prop master was tidying up all the props and putting them away, stacking them up one by one, and she couldn't even pinpoint the location of the fragments.

The production assistant quickly chimed in, "Oh right, those props need to be reused. They'll be used in tomorrow's scene, and we're recording them now to prevent them from getting lost."

Xu Milu secretly memorized it, glanced at the props, pondered for a moment, and then had an idea.
