The weather was gradually turning cold. Li Beinian lay on the bed listening to the sounds of cicadas outside, feeling a sense of immense tranquility.
Ding.
[Ah Chen]: Goodnight.
She stared at the message for the longest time without responding.
She muted her cell phone, staring at the ceiling in an almost hypnotic state.
Perhaps she was exhausted from the non-stop action the last few days, and she was now dreamless.
Only, the dreamscapes from her past seemed to expand in her mind now, becoming clearer with each passing moment.
Lin Ya, Mu Donglin…
“I’ll give you two options,” Li Beinian repeatedly murmured those words that reprised in her dream. “One, surrender him to me. I’ll bear the responsibility for you…”
Was it surrendering him, or it, or her?
And two, Li Beinian didn’t have a clue.
She shut her eyes and fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.
The next day, by the time she woke up, Mu Xichen had already left from Ming City.
She stayed home all day to accompany the Old Master, playing chess, chatting, and playing with the fiddle. Listening to the Old Master talk about the past made her feel especially chirpy and fascinated.
Time flew when one was relaxed and restful. A fortnight went by. In this period, Li Beinian had much free time on her hands.
The perfume advertisement agreement that she had signed previously with Paradise Entertainment City was already in the preparation phase.
Cheng Susu and Bai Yuan had taken a long break, and they had turned up very early to take Li Beinian to the preparation base.
Even with the urgent matters to attend to, from confirming the script to preparing and understanding all the various details, it was considered leisurely for her.
Of course, having to work meant that she had to return to Qing Shui Fu.
When Gu Mingye had helped them with the move, he had only moved over some basic items.
Her clothes and daily necessities were still there.
After getting home and taking a shower, she received a schedule confirmation from Bo Chengcheng.
After filming three advertisements successively, there were the variety programs “Man vs. Wild”, “Actor’s Secret” and “The Everyday Goddess”.
In the coming month, she’d be very, very busy.
She replied with an “OK” emoticon, and following this, received a WeChat message from Bo Chengcheng.
[Sister Bo]: Liu Wei will also be taking part in Man vs. Wild. You need to establish a good relationship with her. She’s a straight-shooter, so you’d probably get on her good side.
[Sister Bo]: Recently, three urban dramas and a youth drama came knocking on your door, but I’ve rejected them all. I’ve accepted two scripts for you—one is a transmigration drama by the title of “Ye Sheng.” The protagonist is a smart woman and becomes a queen in the end.
“Ye Sheng”?
Li Beinian had an impression of this drama. It seemed… in the previous life, Li Xueqing was the lead actress for it.
Following her huge popularity from Legend Of The Dragon Pearl, Li Xueqing was highly sought after for many other dramas.
Even if her acting skills weren’t exceptional, they were acceptable. On top of this, given her relationship with Dawn Entertainment, without a doubt, the role of Queen Ye Sheng would have gone to her.
However, Li Beinian wasn’t fond of this character.
The protagonist was an indecisive person. She was protected and doted upon by her senior, whom she grew up with and was very close to, and at the same time, had an ambiguous relationship with the male protagonist. After she had married the male protagonist, she roamed across the world like an airhead. At the time, this character received many criticisms from the netizens.
Nevertheless, because this was a huge production, it had hit a new level of high.
Li Beinian immediately asked, [You think this role suits me?]
[Sister Bo]: It’s a huge production, we can consider it.
[Sister Bo]: There’s another one by the title of “Solitude.” The female protagonist is a femme fatale, a cold and ruthless loner who is a professional assassin.
Li Beinian had a deep impression of this serial.
Because this serial… failed badly.
