Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Thought You Found Your First Love
“White Moonlight?” Ji Luochen was somewhat interested in this term.
Mu Lingyun saw that he asked, so she briefly described the plot.
The female lead was used by her family and married to the sickly prince, who treated her well and taught her many things she had not been exposed to before.
These included strategies for power, tactics, and the rules for surviving among such scheming.
Initially, she believed the world was bright, but later, she came to believe that there was brightness in the world.
From believing that the whole world was bright to acknowledging the darkness while still believing in the light.
...
From repaying malice with virtue to repaying virtue with virtue and directness with malice.
All these, the prince had led her through.
The female lead didn’t realize that, in the process of their interaction, she had gradually come to like and even love the prince.
It wasn’t until the prince, when his body was failing and he was on his deathbed, confessed his love to her.
Only then did she realize that she too was in love.
Thus, the prince became the female lead’s lifelong ‘White Moonlight,’ the indelible mark on her heart.
It was because of this that the director had very high requirements when selecting the cast.
After all, to become the Empress’s White Moonlight, one must not only have an extraordinary appearance but also impeccable acting skills.
After listening to Mu Lingyun’s description of the plot, Ji Luochen furrowed his brows slightly, then asked in a low voice, “And what about Mumu? Does your heart have a White Moonlight?”
“Hmm?” Mu Lingyun thought she had heard wrong.
“Never mind, let’s sleep. Aren’t we shooting early tomorrow? I’m hanging up.” Ji Luochen said, then hurriedly ended the video call.
Looking at the suddenly disconnected call, Mu Lingyun slightly furrowed her brow.
She thought she had heard Ji Luochen ask her if she had a White Moonlight.
She wasn’t sure if she had heard wrong.
However, whether she heard wrong or not, after all, this was the person she was trying to allure.
She had to tell him, right?
So, she sent Ji Luochen a message.
She directly sent Ji Luochen a voice message.
“Luochen brother, you hung up too quickly just now, I forgot to tell you, I also have a White Moonlight. He is a noble from a distinguished family, also the most brilliant and stunning person. Just like the female lead’s White Moonlight, he also taught me calligraphy, strategy, The Art of War, and Imperial Power Technique. How could I not keep such a person in my heart forever? Don’t you think? Luochen brother, hmm?”
After sending the message, Mu Lingyun let out a sly smile, then put down her phone and closed her eyes to sleep.
Ji Luochen tapped the voice message and heard the girl’s soft and enticing voice slowly coming through.
Listening to her words, he knew she was referring to him.
After listening, he couldn’t help but play it again.
Every word the girl said brushed his heart like feathers.
He had never understood the term ‘irresistible itch’ before, but now he did.
He longed to pull her into his arms and hold her tight, but she wasn’t by his side, leaving him feeling emptily alone.
He took a deep breath and once again stepped into the bathroom, habitually taking a cold shower.
–
In the following days, Mu Lingyun was still shooting the early part of the drama.
As they were about to start filming the middle parts, where the sickly prince would appear, the director had not yet finalized the cast selection, which left her somewhat speechless.
She always felt that this drama might fall behind schedule due to last-minute cast changes.
Unexpectedly, just two days before they started shooting the middle parts, the director suddenly told her jubilantly that the actor for the sickly prince had been chosen.
Seeing how happy the director was, Mu Lingyun coolly said, “It seems that the person you found fits your expectations, doesn’t it? Looking at your grin, anyone who doesn’t know better would think you’ve found your first love.”
