Director An's recommendation was very successful. Xue Ling won the old director's favor and got the role of Tuoba Xiu. Because they had now found an actor to fill the role of the main character, the shooting schedule for the movie could begin.

Xue Ling did not concern himself with the things that came after that. As far as he knew, the main investor of the play was White Light, and the primary reason the shooting had been put on hold was because the director had not been able to find a suitable actor for Tuoba Xiu. After Xue Ling returned home with the script in hand, he began to intensively study the male consort's life, referencing many historical books, before finally waiting for the crew to start shooting.

One morning, Xue Ling woke up earlier than usual and found a bouquet of red roses still stained with dew in the living room. Curious, he asked the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, where did these come from?"

"It's been a while. Every morning, people from the florist's shop send it over." The housekeeper pointed to the bouquet. "The young delivery man who sends the flowers over won't let me reject them. After bringing them in, the Young Master would dispose of it. It should be addressed to the Little Young Master."

Xue Ling blinked and turned over the bouquet. Sure enough, there was a card. The flowers were sent by Lin Yi, and the card was handwritten, though the writing should have been done by the florist.

He found it a bit funny. "Does elder brother throw out these flowers every morning?"

"Yes. The Young Master directed me to bring it in, and then he would bring them away."

Xue Ling was left speechless. Was that man so scared of him seeing these flowers?

He put the flowers back intact and pretended he had never seen them. After breakfast, he asked the driver to take him to the company.

Bai Hao stayed up late last night because of work, and woke up a bit later today. When he got up, he found that his brother's room door was open and no one was there. His face changed, but when he went downstairs and saw the roses still in the living room, he relaxed.

From the housekeeper, he learned that Xue Ling had already finished breakfast and went to the company. Bai Hao had no mind to eat breakfast. He changed his clothes, took the roses and left. After leaving the neighborhood, he left the roses in a garbage can outside.

It was better if this kind of thing never appeared in front of his younger brother, so as not to dirty his eyes.

Today, Xue Ling needed to go to White Light in order to have his costumes done and have photos taken of him as the male consort. Tomorrow, he would be joining the crew.

He was the last actor, and he was probably the only one in the group that had not yet had his photos taken yet, so it was a bit rushed.

This film told the story of Tuoba Xiu's life, so there were more costumes to try on, progressing from his youth and continuing on as he aged. So, the first costume that Xue Ling tried on was from the period when Tuoba Xiu was still a prince.

At that time, the future male consort was still a prince from Xiye Country that was enemies with Tianlan Country. He had been in poor health from childhood and had survived countless assassination attempts. Even if it was a westernized country, the aura of treachery within the royal ranks would not change.
