Cheng Yaoyao came in without Hong Baobao noticing.
She walked over and stood behind the sofa where Hong Baobao was sitting. After staring at Hong Baobao for a while, Cheng Yaoyao finally spoke.
"Baby, what are you thinking about?" Hong Baobao was startled when Cheng Yaoyao suddenly spoke.
Hong Baobao turned around and saw that it was Cheng Yaoyao. She patted her chest and said, "You're here."
Cheng Yaoyao hummed in agreement, then continued, "Baby, you still haven't told me what you were thinking about just now, why were you laughing like that? Could it be that you're in love?"
"No." Almost as soon as Cheng Yaoyao finished speaking, Hong Baobao denied it in a very fast voice.
Cheng Yaoyao's eyes flickered. Seeing how quickly Hong Baobao denied it, she felt more and more that something was wrong.
She felt that Hong Baobao was definitely in a relationship.
"Since you're not going to tell me, I won't ask anymore. You can tell me when you want to later," Cheng Yaoyao said.
Hong Baobao felt quite helpless after hearing this.
Actually, she really hasn't been in a relationship.
"Baby, this is a new drama I'm planning to get for you. Take a look. You like period dramas, right? If you think it's okay for you, I'll accept it."
Cheng Yaoyao also felt that this was a good script, both in terms of the characters and the plot.
That's why she tried to get Hong Baobao to take over.
Moreover, as far as she knows, Hung Bo-bo really likes period dramas.
Hong Baobao once said that she wanted to film a period drama.
It was precisely because she liked period dramas that the short dramas they filmed before were period dramas.
So, after receiving the script, she came to find Hong Baobao, wanting to ask her what she thought.
“Okay, let me take a look first.” Hong Baobao took the script from Cheng Yaoyao and started reading.
She looks at things very quickly and very attentively.
She didn't read the entire script, only the first few pages. After finishing, Hong Baobao said, "Okay, let's take on this role."
Although she only glanced at a few pages, Hong Baobao quite liked it.
The drama is called "Xiangsi" and the female lead's name is Song Xiangsi. She is a famous doctor in Chang'an City and the daughter of Song Huaichun.
When Song Xiangsi was three years old, her mother passed away due to illness. Song Huaichun, a grown man, has been taking care of his daughter ever since.
Song Huaichun was a good catch, and many people came to his door to propose marriage, but he rejected them all.
Song Huaichun still had feelings for his deceased wife, and besides, he didn't want to find a stepmother for Song Xiangsi.
A stepmother is not a biological mother after all. What if she bullies Xiangsi when he's not around?
Song Huaichun felt that he could take good care of his daughter on his own.
Therefore, for the sake of his daughter, Song Huaichun never remarried.
Because Song Xiangsi had been by Song Huaichun's side since childhood, she had always had a strong interest in medicine.
Song Xiangsi was very talented in medicine. After Song Huaichun discovered her talent, he began to teach her medicine.
Song Xiangsi often accompanied Song Huaichun on medical outings.
Sometimes, even when Song Huaichun wasn't at the clinic, Song Xiangsi could still treat other patients.
Gradually, Song Xiangsi's reputation spread.
When he was sixteen, suitors came to his home in Songxiangsi in droves.
However, Song Xiangsi was obsessed with medicine, so Song Huaichun refused her request.
Song Xiangsi's story begins when she accompanies her father on another house call and meets the male protagonist, Dou Xingzhi.
Dou Xingzhi was the son of the prime minister. He was in poor health and suffered from illness since childhood.
He saw many doctors, but none of them could cure his illness. Later, he met the female lead, Song Xiangsi.
Song Xiangsi had a particular fondness for treating difficult and complicated diseases. After examining Dou Xingzhi's body for the first time, she made up her mind to cure him.
In fact, under Song Xiangsi's treatment, Dou Xingzhi's health did improve significantly.
During Song Xiangsi's treatment of Dou Xingzhi, the two gradually developed feelings for each other.
However, this matter was discovered by Dou Xingzhi's father, who was also the prime minister.
After careful consideration, the Prime Minister decided to remain silent and wait until his son was fully recovered before dealing with Song Xiangsi.
As for the ending, Song Xiangsi cured Dou Xingzhi's illness, while she was killed by the Prime Minister.
When Dou Xingzhi learned of this, he intended to commit suicide and go to the underworld to find Song Xiangsi, but he did not die.
So he became a monk.
The prime minister only had one son, Dou Xingzhi; all his other children were daughters. His son had become a monk, and the prime minister was frustrated and disappointed, but he had no other choice.
Moreover, the prime minister harbored rebellious intentions, and was eventually discovered by the emperor and executed.
No one from the Prime Minister's residence escaped; in the end, only Dou Xingzhi survived.
Hong Baobao agreed to take on the role, so Cheng Yaoyao immediately made a phone call to finalize the contract as soon as possible.
As a result, Cheng Yaoyao's expression changed after only a few words with the other person.
"Director Chen, you said back then that you wanted Bao Bao to play the female lead," Cheng Yaoyao questioned.
Director Chen laughed and said, "That's exactly what I said at the time, but now we have a more suitable candidate."
Seeing that Cheng Yaoyao hadn't made a move for a while, Director Chen said again, "Well, I think Hong Baobao is quite suitable for the second female lead, so let's let Hong Baobao play the second female lead."
Hong Baobao overheard this as well. After hearing what Director Chen said, she stroked her chin and thought for a moment. Then, she leaned closer and whispered to Cheng Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, say yes to her."
Cheng Yaoyao was puzzled after hearing this, but since Hong Baobao had said so, she must have her reasons.
After Cheng Yaoyao agreed to Director Chen's request and hung up the phone, she looked at Hong Baobao and asked, "Baobao, why did you agree to play the second female lead?"
Cheng Yaoyao really couldn't understand this.
Hong Baobao smiled, picked up the script again and flipped through it a few times, saying, "Because I think playing the second female lead is not bad either."
The second female lead is also a tragic character. Her name is Guo Zhouzhou. She only has her mother as a relative. From a young age, she has been dressed as a boy because she doesn't want others to see that she is a girl and bully her.
After her mother fell ill, she went to the clinic to get medicine. Because she had no money, she planned to rob the medicine and run away, but she was caught by Song Xiangsi.
After understanding the whole story, Song Xiangsi gave the medicine to Guo Zhouzhou.
Furthermore, Song Xiangsi promised Guo Zhouzhou not to steal medicine in the future, and that if she needed it, she could come to her and she would give her medicine for free.
Guo Zhouzhou was extremely grateful to Song Xiangsi, whom she had always regarded as her benefactor.
After Song Xiangsi's death, she inadvertently learned that it was the Prime Minister who killed Song Xiangsi. In order to avenge Song Xiangsi, she ultimately died by the Prime Minister's sword.
