All men had an obsession to beauty . Lin Fengtian was already led into the story by Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+'s beauty without the latter needing to act .
It was as if the female protagonist, Yin Xiachun, had walked out from the pages of the novel .
Her ethereal beauty was one worldliness could not contaminate .
“Director Lin?” Mu Xi carefully prompted the director again .
As if a spell had been broken, he came around with a start and could not stop gus.h.i.+ng, “You look so good . Yin Xiachun has come to life!”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ beamed with happiness when she heard his praise .
The trial session proceeded smoothly .
In the novel, Yin Xiachun, depicted by Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, was the younger sister of Yin Dongyu, portrayed by Gu Xingze . Both were close since young . Growing up together, they eventually developed taboo feelings for each other .
The simple-minded Yin Xiachun persistently pursued love like how a moth would chase after a light source . She could not let go of her brother from the very start .
However, worldly constraints kept her persistent love chained and at bay . Even though Yin Dongyu had come to love her in the same way, he had, time and again, rejected her for it was forbidden .
Finally, their mother found out about the two's affair through her daughter's diary, which vividly described her painful struggles, sorrows, and desperations . Livid, her mother exiled her overseas to study as a form of punishment .
Years later, Yin Xiachun received a call from her mother, informing her that her brother was about to marry his fiancée . She, thus, returned to her homeland in bitter disappointment, only to discover by accident that she was with leukemia .
Her brother went to the hospital to donate bone marrow to his sister but was told that he was not a suitable match for her . In the end, the pair of siblings found out that they were not biologically related . It turned out that, when she was born, she was accidentally swapped in with another baby at the hospital, which gave rise to this sorrowful, incestuous tale .
Lin Fengtian had always been sure of his foresight, and after today, he was even more confident of it!
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ fulfilled the look and feel of the female protagonist to a T .
The pure and gentle smile of Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was infectious to the entire film set .
Hence, during the production, the usually critical and harsh Lin Fengtian was atypically full of praises .
“This newcomer… is so well-suited as Yin Xiachun! It's as if she were from the novel itself…”
The chief styling director, who was standing at the side, was equally captivated .
Standing at one end was Yan Bingqing with a displeased look on her face . Either from jealousy or sourness, her brows knitted as her chest churned with rage .
Her makeup had not been applied yet when she heard that the trial shoot was about to begin . She specifically made a trip over to the studio to check out the happenings . Lin Fengtian was known for being harsh, and so far, none had escaped his scolding unscathed . Even the old-timers were not spared from it .
She, herself, had once received a dressing-down from him in front of the whole crew in one of his productions .
The newbie was so smug during their tussle earlier, so she was looking forward to seeing the way the latter would be put in her place by the director on-set .
It was totally out of her expectation for Lin Fengtian to express his delight over this newcomer, instead…
Jealousy had contorted her face by now .
She could somehow not stand the sight of Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, and after their earlier spat, her enmity with the latter was sealed .
Hmph! Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, the days are long . Just you watch; I'll see how far you can get away for offending me!
She squinted her eyes and secretly cursed the lady .
