Jiang Si didn't mince words, "Your good husband killed you. He wanted to marry a woman of high status, but he had fame and fortune but no wealth, so he thought of you. After plotting to kill you, he married your ancestral tablet under the guise of deep affection and brought your father to his mansion, treating him as his father-in-law. Your family's vast wealth fell into his hands from then on."
"A few years later, your father fell ill from missing his daughter and passed away. He hid it very well, and your father never knew that you died at his hands. He was even grateful to him and told him to forget about you and remarry a good wife."
"He thus gained a reputation for virtue and talent, and from then on rose through the ranks, eventually marrying the daughter of the prime minister and becoming a marquis and prime minister."
Li Jianshan was dumbfounded.
He considered himself a powerful CEO, but he had never seen anyone so cunning and ruthless.
The female ghost's shoulders trembled as she burst into laughter.
Laughing at his own ridiculousness, laughing at his own patheticness, a line of bloody tears flowed down his pale face, pitiful and pathetic.
Li Jianshan couldn't bear it: "Isn't Heaven just too damn blind? How can it let such a person live so well!"
“He wasn’t a good person, but he was a good official. You can even see his achievements in history books. During his decades in office, he did do a lot of practical things for the people,” Jiang Si said. “If you say he deserved to die, he did. If you say he was completely useless, he did help countless people avoid the suffering of displacement.”
"But in the end, he has wronged this young lady!" No matter how great your achievements, murderers should pay with their lives, it is only right and proper.
Jiang Si didn't say anything.
The female ghost looked at Jiang Si and questioned, "So I deserve to die? My father deserved to be deceived his whole life?"
"Heaven's justice is indeed unjust."
She finally cried out in grief and indignation, "Heaven is unjust!"
Li Jianshan felt extremely sorry for her and gently tugged at Jiang Si's sleeve: "Can't you really help her?"
Jiang Si scoffed, "Don't think you're the only one who matters in the world. Even you can't easily touch that person now." She glanced at the female ghost, implying, "He's surrounded by powerful figures. It's harder than climbing to heaven for any evil spirit to get close to him."
Li Jianshan: "???"
Who is it?
Who else is that fierce!
“Liu Huaiquan,” Jiang Si uttered a name.
Upon hearing this, Li Jianshan was so shocked that he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of water. Liu Huaiquan was no ordinary person.
Born into a prestigious family, said to have been an official family since the previous dynasty, the family moved abroad during the war. When everything was in ruins, they returned to China to start businesses and invested in many industries. They are a family with a pivotal position both domestically and internationally.
Furthermore, their philanthropic endeavors are extensive, with total investments exceeding 100 billion, and they have even received grand honors from foreign dignitaries.
Liu Huaiquan is now the person in charge of the Liu Group.
Li Jianshan's family was already very wealthy, but they still couldn't compare to someone like Liu Huaiquan.
Li Jianshan was also somewhat desperate: "This is pretty awesome."
The female ghost sat blankly on the ground, while Jiang smiled bitterly: "Was it because I wronged him in my past life?" Otherwise, why would he end up like this?
“There’s no need to be so desperate,” Jiang Si leaned down slightly. “If you want revenge, I can’t do it alone; you have to do it yourself.”
The female ghost said, "I can't even leave this place, how can I take revenge?"
“I can help you get out of this place,” Jiang Si said. “As for how to attract Liu Huaiquan, that’s up to you.”
Back on set, Han Yunluo and Guan Qingchen looked at Jiang Si with suspicion when they saw that she had brought back another person.
The difference is that Guan Qingchen doesn't know whether he is human or demon, while Han Yunluo knows that the person in front of her is a vengeful ghost, the kind that contains endless resentment.
“I remember there’s a scene later on where she plays a ghost bride, right? Let her play that role,” Jiang Si said.
The Ghost Bride is a very simple and short play, with the bride covered from beginning to end, and the actors don't even need to show their faces.
The production team planned to find someone with a similar build to play the role.
Director Zheng naturally had no problem with such a simple request.
The new actor in front of me has fair skin, willow-leaf eyebrows, and almond-shaped cheeks. His brows seem to hold a thousand grudges, making him perfect for the role.
This face tells a story.
It would be stunning to see it on the big screen.
Wearing a bright red wedding dress, it looked a little eerie, but that was exactly what he wanted.
"I think we can revise the script," Director Zheng said, stroking his chin.
Jiang Si smiled warmly: "Thank you, Director Zheng. To express my gratitude, I'll find you a temporary actor for this scene."
One of the scenes is a parade of a hundred demons at night. Since it's a parade of a hundred demons at night, it's not as interesting as the real thing when they're all made up.
Director Zheng also knew some things about Jiang Si.
"This actor?"
"Promise not to cause trouble, to listen attentively, and to complete tasks to a high standard."
Since Jiang Si said so, he felt relieved.
When filming officially began, the director cleared the set.
Jiang Si personally went downstairs to invite some actors up. Director Zheng, seeing so many ghosts suddenly emerging from the ground, unconsciously moved closer to Guan Qingchen.
Having studied under Master Jiang for so long, he should have some skills.
Guan Qingchen glanced at him, his eyes filled with unspoken meaning.
Director Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you think I've never seen your cowardly self before?"
The ghosts were overjoyed to hear they could act in movies on Earth, and they didn't even care about whether Jiang Si would pay them or not.
"Is there a chance my mom will see me in a movie?"
"Great! I'm going to put on some beautiful makeup!"
Since it's a parade of a hundred ghosts, the ghosts can just act as they are.
In the dark woods, with lights shining, the ghosts swayed and carried the bridal sedan chair, while others danced excitedly.
They were wearing clothes burned for them by their living relatives. The clothes of the deceased are naturally different from those of the living, which looks a bit awkward.
I don't know if it's just psychological suggestion, but this looks really creepy.
When the bridal sedan chair reached the middle, the curtain was pulled back, revealing the bride inside, dressed in a red wedding gown and covered with a red veil.
The bride gently lifted her red veil, revealing a pale yet stunningly beautiful face. Her eyes swept over the camera.
That resentful gaze sends chills down your spine, yet you find yourself drawn in.
Jiang Si took out her phone and filmed this scene.
"Can I post this short clip online?" Jiang Si asked.
Sometimes movie trailers leak out online without revealing the plot, serving two purposes: maintaining buzz and promoting the film.
Director Zheng was very satisfied with this part.
Jiang Si was a great help, and since she only wanted the few seconds the bride lifted her veil, she naturally had no objections. This might even whet the audience's appetite.
That's absolutely shocking!
The real thing is always better than the fake one.
Jiang Si asked Li Jianshan to find some marketing accounts to release this clip and to promote it more aggressively.
With the help of money, this short clip quickly went viral.
[I'm supposedly from the drama "Dust and Fate," wow, this actress's acting is phenomenal!]
No way, who's so shameless as to take these photos secretly?
This is giving me nightmares; she really looks like a real female ghost!
Inside the Liu family villa, a junior member was scrolling through his phone.
As Liu Huaiquan went downstairs, he glanced down casually and his pupils suddenly contracted. He snatched the phone from the younger generation and stared intently at the bride in the red wedding dress in the camera lens, his heart pounding.
