Chapter 1 Green Tea was struck by lightning
Lin Shuang, an 18th-tier supporting actress, was struck by lightning.
Because she spread the news that the heroine and the assistant director had a four-legged affair quietly among the crew, it was discovered by the heroine, who deliberately squeezed her into the lake during the audition.
As luck would have it, as thunder roared in the sky, a bolt of lightning struck, giving her a glorious retirement that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Amidst her horrified screams, she still retained a trace of consciousness. She stared at the gurgling electric bubbles in front of her and sighed.
Alas, it is reasonable for Green Tea to be struck by lightning. I should be more careful in my next life.
"girl!"
girl?
Lin Shuang raised her hand and rubbed her dull forehead before opening her eyes, only to meet a round and pleasing chubby face.
"Girl, you finally woke up!"
The round-faced girl's eyes widened with joy: "Great! Girl, you scared Yanyu to death!"
misty rain?
Why does this pretentious name sound so familiar?
Lin Shuang sat up with his head feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds, looked around the room with pure ancient style, and while marveling at the crew's improved technology, he looked at Yanyu suspiciously.
"Is it your turn to play Yanyu? When did you change the script?"
She plays the maid of Su Rong, one of the female supporting roles in the play. Yanyu is the maid of the female lead Su Ci, so why would she be called a girl?
…No, wasn’t she struck to death by lightning?
"Fourth Miss, what are you talking about?"
Yanyu said doubtfully, reaching out to help her: "The young lady fell into the lotus pond and caught a cold. She has been unconscious for a day and a night. Aunt Lan went to the kitchen to urge Xueliu to make a soup. She will be here soon. If the young lady is still dizzy, lie down for a while..."
“…”
Lin Shuang blinked, jumped down, held her dizzy head, opened the door and walked out, searching 360 degrees in the clean and small courtyard.
There were no cameras, no props, makeup, or costume crews, not even a ghost...
"Girl, you haven't put on your shoes yet!"
Yanyu chased out with the shoes in her hands, and looked at her master who was squatting with her head in her hands in fear: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Auntie Lan, Yanyu Xueliu, Fourth Miss?"
Lin Shuang murmured, looking up and pointing at herself: "I am Su Ci? The heroine Su Ci?"
"Porcelain!"
An anxious and weak voice was heard, and a slender beauty with fair skin walked out from the carved archway, followed by a pretty girl carrying a tray.
"Ci'er, why did you run out?"
Lin Shuang stood up unconsciously and was gently embraced by the beauty. She smelled a scent of medicine at the tip of her nose.
“…Auntie?”
Aunt Lan's eyes were slightly red as she touched her daughter's face and nodded repeatedly: "Aunt is here, Ci'er, don't be afraid... Ah, why did you run out without shoes on? Come into the house quickly, Yanyu, get a basin of hot water to wipe the girl's feet, Xueliu, bring an extra mattress..."
Lin Shuang sat on the edge of the bed and watched the three people busying around. Even though her mind was a mess, she still didn't forget to look for the camera.
When the lightning struck, she was just emerging from the water. She felt a loud bang as if the top of her head had opened up, and her whole body shook and her eyes blurred.
I didn't feel any pain, I just smelled something burning. When I sank into the water, I could see crackling lightning all around me.
If she had not been electrocuted into a god, she would have died for sure.
But what's going on now?
"Ci'er, drink the medicine first."
Aunt Lan blew gently on the soup spoon and carefully handed it to her daughter's pale lips, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
"It's all your fault for not giving you a brother to support you. Ci'er, the eldest and third daughters are legitimate children after all. We in Shuiyun Pavilion cannot afford to offend them..."
The warm medicine was strong and bitter, but Lin Shuang suppressed her nausea and took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp.
The chaotic mind also cleared up.
She actually got into the script she was acting in.
From a maid with only eight lines, she suddenly became the indomitable and tenacious heroine Su Ci.
"Auntie, I was pushed into the lotus pond by Su Rong and Su Yin, and fell into a coma for a whole day and night, right?"
Isn't this exactly the scene where she was struck by lightning?
She played Su Rong's maid, and when she was pushing Su Ci down into the lotus pond, she was deliberately pushed down by the actor who played Su Ci...
"Ci'er, your father has not returned from His Majesty's southern tour yet. We should be patient for now. Auntie can talk to you when your father returns home, okay?"
"fine."
Lin Shuang suddenly shook her head: "Now that I'm awake, there's no need to tell me, otherwise my stepmother will cause trouble for my aunt again."
Not only Aunt Lan, but Yanyu Xueliu also looked over in surprise.
Lin Shuang drank a bowl of medicine and felt a little hot. She lay back on the pillow and looked at the intricate patterns on the roof.
"Auntie, I'm sleepy."
“…Okay, Ci’er, don’t think too much and have a good sleep.”
Aunt Lan tucked the corner of the quilt for her daughter with a gloomy look on her face, and quietly walked out of the boudoir with Yanyu Xueliu.
…
The surroundings became quiet. Lin Shuang still closed her eyes and waited for the director to call cut. After a while, she opened her eyes, let out a long breath, stood up, walked down to the dressing table and sat down.
In the bronze mirror, a young girl in a light pink middle dress stroked her black hair with her bare hands. Her perfect oval face was smooth and clear, her eyebrows were as black as willows, her eyelashes were raised at the corners of her eyes, her eyes were hazy, and there was a natural charm in her youthfulness. Her plump petal lips were slightly faded, adding a sense of weakness and illness.
Just as described in the original novel, Su Ci is extremely beautiful and pitiful in appearance, but her style of doing things is in stark contrast, she is tough and decisive, and she has countless admirers.
Lin Shuang admired the peerless beauty in the mirror with emotion.
I didn't expect that she had been a supporting role all her life, and only after her death did she have the chance to become the heroine.
Lin Shuang came from an ordinary family. When she was ten years old, her parents divorced and started their own families. She became an annoying burden. After finishing high school at her grandmother's house, she dropped out of school and went out to work. When she was learning makeup, she followed her teacher into a film crew and fell in love with acting. She couldn't stop.
In the next ten years, she played supporting roles in Hengdian. Although her appearance could only be described as classical and pretty, because she was proficient in makeup techniques, sweet-mouthed and good at flattery, she was often able to squeeze out those girls who relied on their looks to make a living and play the maids and servants who appeared frequently around the heroines and supporting actresses.
Not only did it satisfy her desire to perform, but it also made her financially viable.
When she participated in the play called The Concubine's Strategy, she was already 28 years old. Relying on her makeup skills, she played a girl of 15 or 16 years old. She was often ridiculed by the heroine and others. Therefore, she fought back and spread rumors, and was later pushed into the lake and struck by lightning.
This TV series has just started filming for a few days. It is adapted from a novel. Although she is only a small supporting role, she still read the original novel carefully because of her love for acting. The TV series only has some changes to the sub-plots, and the main plot is almost the same.
But after reading the original novel, she had only one thought.
Although the heroine Su Ci's life was wonderful, it was really too tiring.
The author probably has never experienced any hardship in life and does not know the value of a stable and peaceful life. He created countless setbacks and countless enemies for the heroine. In order to show the heroine's independent and wise style, he also paired her with a gentle and unworldly male protagonist who is a banished immortal.
The poor heroine first fought with her stepmother and step-sister in the boudoir, ran away from home and fought with people in the underworld, fought with her peers in business, and after meeting the hero, fought with her love rival. After going through eighty-one difficulties, she finally married the hero with a grand wedding, and then had to fight with the evil mother-in-law, sister-in-law, sisters-in-law, and other aunts and cousins in the house.
After that, she has to take care of the household and have children. She is as beautiful as a flower and lives in harmony with the male protagonist, and they grow old together.
But Lin Shuang felt that the banished immortal hero's greatest strength, apart from being ethereal and pleasing to the eye every time he appeared, was his loyalty. He could also say all kinds of sweet words, giving spiritual support to the miserable heroine.
Not only was he of no help in big matters, but he also attracted a lot of bad romantic partners before and after marriage, and the heroine had to deal with them one by one.
After reading the whole novel, she had the illusion that the heroine was being taken advantage of for free.
