Time didn't allow her to think too much, and soon it was time for Lan Qingyue, the second female lead, to take the stage.

From summer to autumn, the hot weather gradually became sultry. Lan Qingyue had been on set for nearly two months. Today, she only had one scene. The second female lead, who became a concubine for revenge, met her childhood sweetheart and first love. The two lovers who had missed each other met again. All the words they had to say were helplessly turned into tears in their eyes.

Although Lan Qingyue inherited the original owner's memories, she didn't inherit the original owner's acting skills. In the past two months, she had struggled and stumbled to complete those scenes. Now, facing the tall, handsome "ex-boyfriend" in front of her, with slightly red eyes, trembling lips, and hesitant to speak, Lan Qingyue was really at her wit's end. How was she supposed to act out the emotion and tears of a long-awaited reunion?

They gazed at each other for a long time. At this moment, the second female lead would lose control of her emotions and rush into her first love's arms. However, Lan Qingyue, who had never been in love, could not understand that feeling at all. She stared blankly at the handsome second male lead with her big, blinking eyes.

Lan Qingyue hesitated to hug him, and everyone around them was getting anxious. Even Axi wanted to rush up and help Lan Qingyue.

"Tch, with acting skills like that, how can she deserve the role of the second female lead?"

Beside them, a maidservant spoke up in a sour tone, "This role is so challenging, shouldn't it be given to someone more capable?"

Passerby A: "Oh, you just arrived a few days ago, so you didn't see her earlier scenes. She acted really well before. Maybe she was tired and not in the zone this time. I can understand." Someone retorted.

"Hmph, tell me, we debuted in the same year, so why is she playing the second female lead while I'm still a minor supporting role?"

Passerby B: "Isn't this normal? They're Axi's artists. Who is Axi? He's the second-in-command among Star Entertainment agents. What kind of shabby roles would his artists get?"

"That's not fair. Her acting skills aren't that great either. Why should she be able to work under Axi?"

Passerby A: "She's talented, that's for sure. How could she become a movie queen if she wasn't talented!"

"Hmph! She just got lucky. See? So what if she became a Best Actress? She's still back to square one and got a supporting role. She doesn't deserve the lead role."

Passerby Ding said, "Whether she's good enough or not, she's still played the lead role."

"So what if you were once a star? It was just a fleeting moment."

Passerby C: "Don't be angry. She's just luckier than you. She debuted at sixteen, married into a wealthy family, and had a lovely daughter. Even though that young master is gone, she's still living a comfortable life."

"Tch, what kind of skills can a brat have, hooking up with a rich guy? She can only resort to dirty tricks."

Many women still feel sorry for Chu Xiao, who died young.

Lan Qingyue, who was trying to compose herself, didn't hear the gossiping girls' chatter, but Qi Yu, who had just entered, heard it all clearly.

His expression was cold as he watched the women's retreating figures until their discussion grew increasingly heated. He then asked, "Is gossiping about other people really that interesting?"

"ah?"

The four people froze simultaneously, a chill running down their spines as they turned around. When they saw who it was, they were completely terrified.

Qi Yu stared coldly at them. His aura was too strong, and the people who had just been discussing didn't dare to breathe. They glanced at Qi Yu and quickly lowered their heads.
