This is a very interesting story. The female lead was not the kind of smart pretty boy from the beginning, nor did she become evil after experiencing a family tragedy.
Rather, the female protagonist herself was very ambitious from the beginning, and in the end, she used herself and others to achieve what she wanted step by step.
When the female lead's father was beheaded, she was still very young, and this scene was planned to be played by a child actor. Lu Qingyan was to film the first scene, which was the part where the county magistrate came to talk and discuss things with the female lead.
The actor playing the county magistrate is a TV King in his thirties named Du Xun. I heard that his family is quite well-off, and he only entered the industry to have some fun, but he is quite talented and has won several awards.
When Du Xun saw Lu Qingyan, he said with a smile, "I'm a handsome guy myself, but I never thought I'd be someone's daughter's father now."
"Alright, stop joking around and get ready!" With a gesture from the director, Du Xun and Lu Qingyan immediately got into character.
Du Xun bowed and said, "I still need your help with this matter, young lady."
Lu Qingyan glanced at him, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and had no intention of paying him any attention.
Du Xun, playing the county magistrate, repeated what he had just said.
"Why are you being so polite, sir? How could I possibly help you now?" Lu Qingyan took a sip of tea and looked at the county magistrate with a smile.
"You and my daughter look very alike..."
"My lord!" Lu Qingyan said sternly, "You've already said that once. So what if we look alike? There are plenty of people in this world who look alike. I don't want to become someone else. You should go find someone else, Your Excellency!"
“Even if there are many people in the world who look alike, there will never be another one with the same name as my daughter. Young lady, this is fate between our two families. If the higher-ups investigate, the lives of our entire family will be in danger.” The county magistrate said, almost kneeling down before Lu Qingyan.
"What do I care about the life and death of your whole family?" Lu Qingyan said coldly.
The county magistrate's face turned pale. He hadn't expected this woman to be so heartless, able to watch others die without even offering a helping hand.
The county magistrate also knew that this woman originally came from an extraordinary family, but he didn't know why her family had suddenly appeared here.
“As long as the young lady is willing to help, I am willing to pay any price,” the county magistrate said. He had thought the young lady would refuse, but to his surprise, Lu Qingyan smiled.
She was naturally beautiful, and her smile was like a lotus flower blooming in a pond, pure and elegant, unforgettable.
“It’s not impossible for me to help your family, but—you have to agree to a few conditions.” Lu Qingyan looked at the county magistrate in front of her, her eyes flashing with a strange light.
The county magistrate gritted his teeth, already prepared to be ripped off by the man in front of him: "Please speak, young lady."
After all, his daughter had run away long ago and never cared about the life or death of her family.
He couldn't stand by and watch his family be destroyed because that unfilial daughter had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Lu Qingyan smiled and said, "What I'm about to say isn't difficult. First, from now on, I'm just your daughter, Xiao Wanyue, and I have nothing to do with this family I'm in now. But you have to help me take care of them. Second, from now on, your daughter is the young lady of this family, and she has nothing to do with you. You can't keep giving her special treatment."
