Huo Jinning had just arrived home and hadn't even washed up when she received another video call from Yang Nianke.
"Ningning, you're really making me angry. I never expected there to be such a weirdo. She's not even that good-looking, but she has such high and mighty dreams."
"When he saw me today, he said that he likes girls who are well-behaved and obedient. He said that after I marry him, I should stop acting and find a proper job. He said that his family will buy a house and I will pay for the renovation. He also said that I should not be materialistic, and his family will not give me a bride price or dowry."
"Also, he earns 5,000 a month, has a mortgage of over 4,000, and I still have to pay for his living expenses. He even seems to think that I'm not good enough for him."
"Chunchun is sick."
Yang Nianke finished speaking, her little face puffed up.
Huo Jinning couldn't help but chuckle, wanting to laugh but not daring to, her face turning slightly red from holding it in.
She tried hard to suppress her laughter, but couldn't help letting out a soft chuckle.
Yang Nianke noticed the change in Huo Jinning's expression and guessed that she must find it very funny.
So he smiled and said to her, "You don't need to hold it in, just laugh if you want to."
Upon hearing this, Huo Jinning finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha...haha...sorry."
Huo Jinning laughed so hard she could barely breathe, wiping away tears as she laughed.
Seeing her laughing like that, Yang Nianke was amused and started laughing along with her.
"There are all sorts of oddballs out there, this is quite a talent!" Huo Jinning laughed until tears welled up in her eyes.
Yang Nianke laughed until her stomach hurt, saying between laughs, "Yeah! I don't know where my mom found such a weirdo. I'm never going on blind dates again; if I ever encounter another weirdo like that, I'll be ready to punch them."
The two laughed so hard they were doubled over, as if they had forgotten the awkwardness and unpleasantness they had just experienced.
At that moment, their friendship deepened, and the distance between them shortened considerably.
...
Neither Huo Jinning nor Yang Nianke expected that there would be a follow-up to this matter.
When Yang Nian encountered such a strange person, she felt that he was stingy and selfish, so she directly refused him. Moreover, because she didn't want to take advantage of him, she paid for the meal herself.
Unexpectedly, the day after the blind date, the man's second aunt took him to Yang Nianke's house and declared that Yang Nianke was her nephew's wife, and that the matter was settled.
Yang's parents initially thought that Yang Nianke was exaggerating because she didn't like the other person, but they were dumbfounded when they saw the two of them talking like that.
What's even more infuriating is that the man's second aunt actually said that if they didn't marry Yang Nianke into their family, it would be considered marriage fraud.
This kind of sophistry and unreasonable attitude is unacceptable.
Mr. and Mrs. Yang were also stunned. They didn't understand why the topic had suddenly turned to the matter of marriage fraud.
They tried to explain and reason with the other party, but the other party simply wouldn't listen.
Finally, Yang's parents had no choice but to kick the couple out of the house.
However, the aunt and niece did not give up after being driven away.
They started spreading bad things about Yang Nianke throughout the neighborhood, trying to force the Yang family to compromise.
In the end, law enforcement officers arrived and resolved the matter.
Mr. and Mrs. Yang were also scared and dared not let their daughter go on blind dates again.
Yang Nianke thinks it's good to meet weirdos; she won't have to go on blind dates anymore.
He later told Huo Jinning about it, which of course made Huo Jinning burst into laughter.
When they met again, it was at the opening ceremony of "The Great Yu Dynasty", and all the actors were already in place.
To Huo Jinning's surprise, she ran into several old friends there: Xu Qingluo, Zhao Luoyi, and Xu Shubai.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, there wasn't much time for further conversation due to the large number of people present.
Xu Luoqing plays the female lead Sanqi, and Zhao Luoyi plays the second female lead Song Jin.
Xu Shubai plays a minor role, a bodyguard named Shadow who serves the male lead.
"The Great Yu Dynasty" is a story about Shangguan Yunting, whose country is invaded. His elder sister tricks him into leaving, saving his life. Later, he meets the female lead and some companions, and eventually establishes the Great Yu Kingdom.
The first scene that was filmed was the one Huo Jinning auditioned for, which was also a major turning point in the entire TV series.
Huo Jinning wore a red ruqun embroidered with peony patterns.
Her hair was styled into an exquisite double-looped bun, adorned with a magnificent golden hairpin that shone brightly.
This outfit made her look noble and elegant, like a fairy who had traveled from ancient times.
Once the makeup and styling were complete, the entire crew fell silent, everyone's attention drawn to Huo Jinning.
Her beauty was breathtaking, like a painting unfolding before everyone's eyes.
"Wow, Ningning, you look so beautiful!" Yang Nianke was the first to come to her senses and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Others echoed this sentiment, expressing their admiration and envy for Huo Jinning's beauty.
However, there were also some who harbored jealousy, but they could only endure it silently and dared not easily reveal it.
At this moment, director Zheng Ming broke the silence: "Alright, everyone to your positions, let's get ready to film!"
His voice was serious and forceful, reminding everyone to get back to work.
The actors quickly found their positions and prepared to get to work.
The audition went very smoothly before, and this time I passed it in no time.
After Princess Shangguan Yunxi, played by Huo Jinning, saw her younger brother off.
She took a deep breath, a look of determination and resolve flashing in her eyes.
After changing her clothes, she faced the soldiers guarding the city and shouted, "Soldiers of Yu the Great, follow me out of the city to fight the enemy!"
Her voice resounded throughout the city, inspiring every soldier.
Then, without hesitation, she led her generals out of the city to fight the enemy and hold them back so that Shangguan Yunting could escape smoothly.
"Soldiers of Yu the Great, let's fight!" Huo Jinning rode his horse at the head of the column, his red riding outfit making him look even more heroic.
Her eyes were filled with determination and courage, which moved everyone who saw them.
At her call, the soldiers responded in unison, shouting rousing slogans: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
However, they ultimately failed, and the eldest princess died on the battlefield.
The battlefield was silent, save for the howling wind, as if mourning the valiant princess.
"Cut, good, good, good." Zheng Ming said "good" three times in a row, his eyes filled with tears of excitement.
Huo Jinning's performance deeply moved him, showing him what a true actor should do.
Hearing the director's praise, Huo Jinning smiled happily, but she did not become arrogant or complacent.
Instead, she humbly thanked the director and said she would continue to work hard.
Then, she quickly reverted to her usual obedient self, completely different from the brave and fearless princess she had just been.
