Ming Shu left with a smile, as if she hadn't poured juice on someone just now.

"..." The spectators could only think, She's worthy of being the big-shot.

"..." Song Man was also silent. What was she doing just now?

Ming Shu returned to the break room, her smile shrinking but still visible. Tian Yuan was afraid of even breathing loudly and didn't dare to lecture Ming Shu. She secretly sent a message to Sister Aileen.

Sister Jiang Nian is not herself today.

Meanwhile, Ming Shu was talking to the Harmony System.

"How was my behavior just now?"

[You should have poured it on her face.] the Harmony System suggested.

Ming Shu's gaze changed and after a while she said, "I didn't know you're that type of system?"

Harmony?

What kind of fucking harmony?

[My task is to help you get Hatred Points, so the suggestion I'm providing is that you make others more hateful.]

Ming Shu's index finger rubbed her lips and her smile even curved her eyebrows. She was very peaceful and gentle now, which made others want to be close to her.

But the Harmony System knew she was not so innocent. Even when she killed others, she was hardly affected and a smile always graced her face.

Ning Keqing also went back to the break room she shared with a few others, full of confusion and resentment. Another woman made fun of her when she arrived, embarrassingly enough.

Ning Keqing glanced at her and hid her hatred behind her eyes. Then she silently went to the dressing room to change out of her dirty dress.

She looked at the reflection in the mirror and her face became gloomy.

What had happened today was outside of her expectations. Why did Jiang Nian act against her? Jiang Nian smiled at everyone, but in the past days of filming she didn't notice that Jiang Nian was especially close to Song Man. So why did Jiang Nian help Song Man today?

Yes, now Ning Keqing thought that Ming Shu was helping Song Man.

Ming Shu had nothing to do with today's affair. And according to what she had known about Jiang Nian before, she should have simply stood by.

Ning Keqing patted her own cheek. She lived so miserably in her last life, she wouldn't allow herself to live that way again.

No matter whether Jiang Nian was trying to help Song Man or not, she would remember what had happened today.

One day...

She would succeed.

Ning Keqing firmed her resolve, walked out of the dressing room while ignoring everyone's scorn, and started to read the script.

Because of this argument, the leading roles' act was stopped. The director had to film other scenes first.

What Ming Shu was acting in now was called Ever-Burning Light, which involved some magical elements. The ever-burning light which allowed people to live forever was the central point of this story, and most of it would be filmed in the palace.

Ming Shu played the second leading female role, a spoiled concubine of the highest rank, so Ming Shu's part was pretty much this scene.

Because of her great background, Ming Shu could easily get the opportunity to play the first leading female role. But her agent, the director, and the scriptwriter believed her image was more suitable for the second leading female role.
