The villain An Xi, whose original name was An Qing, was a princess of the Duke's Mansion in Li Kingdom. The Duke's Mansion was framed for treason and its entire family was executed. Only twelve-year-old An Qing survived by accident.

She changed her name to An Xi and went through various hardships on her own. First, she was coveted by bad people, but she finally managed to escape.

Then she was captured and sold into a brothel. On the very night she was to receive customers, she was caught while trying to escape and was about to be in serious trouble, but fortunately she was rescued.

The person who saved her became a major reason for her later descent into darkness.

It wasn't that An Xi had fallen for that man, but rather that she was being led around like a plaything, moving from one different man to another.

She harbored hatred in her heart, endured all the humiliation, and secretly worked hard to learn martial arts in order to escape this life devoid of dignity.

Later, she dealt with all those who had bullied her one by one. The feeling of killing gave her a sense of satisfaction. Thinking about the revenge for her family, An Xi began to turn completely evil.

Xu Wan's performance is An Xi's monologue as she stands on the edge of a cliff, covered in blood, after killing someone.

"Directors, I'm ready!"

"Then let's begin!"

Under the lamplight, Xu Wan lowered her eyes slightly, and when she raised her head again, her eyes instantly became empty, as if swallowed by endless fatigue, losing all color.

That eye acting was impressive; it really caught the director's eye.

She pretended to be carrying a sword, walking step by step towards the edge of the cliff, looking straight ahead.

When she reached the edge of the cliff, she stood there for a while, seemingly talking to someone, or perhaps talking to herself.

"In this world, only strength can earn respect and control everything."

"I will avenge the An family!"

After she finished speaking, her eyes turned as dark and indifferent as an abyss, as if nothing in the world could catch her eye anymore.

The people below exchanged glances, all agreeing that the acting with those eyes was excellent.

This scene has only two lines of dialogue, but it conveys the villain's transformation.

Although he doesn't say much, you can see the villain's psychological journey through his eyes.

Xu Mian then turned around without hesitation, leaving behind a tall and lonely figure.

The path of a villain is destined to be one that no one understands and one from which there is no turning back.

After she finished walking, Xu Mian turned around, bowed, and said with a smile, "My performance is over."

The director smiled and said, "Not bad, go back and wait for our call!"

Although he was very satisfied and felt that Xu Wan should be chosen for the role of An Xi, he did not show it now.

"Okay, goodbye everyone!" Xu Wan picked up her bag and left.

Once outside, she put on sunglasses and a mask, found her familiar car, and got in.

Sister Cheng was worried that she was under a lot of pressure, so she didn't ask her anything and just said, "Go back and get some rest."

"Mm." Xu Man nodded.

Shen Group

On the top floor, in a large office, Shen Yihan, dressed in a suit, sat in an office chair at his desk.

He was meticulous when working, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, which gave him a refined and ascetic air, and his expression was serious.

dong dong~

A knock sounded at the door, but Shen Yihan didn't even look up, his voice indifferent: "Come in!"

Secretary Li pushed open the door and came in to report on her work. She stepped forward and handed over a document: "President Shen, this is a newly compiled cooperation plan with Huaxu Group."

"Hua Xu? The Xu family?" Upon hearing this, Shen Yihan raised his head slightly.

Secretary Li explained, "That's right, it's at Madam's house."

Secretary Li was also aware that President Shen was already married.

Shen Yihan took the document and glanced at it: "The plan is fine, send it to Huaxu like this."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Li breathed a sigh of relief; President Shen was usually not so easy to talk to.

It seems that things are different after Mr. Shen and his wife got married; at least he's more accommodating to his wife's family.

"Okay, I'll get back to work then," Secretary Li said, taking the documents.

Shen Yihan casually replied, "Okay, let's go out."

After the office door closed, Shen Yihan stopped reading the documents and looked at his phone.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up his phone and opened Xu Wan's contact information.

Thinking that today was the day she was going to audition, Shen Yihan typed a question first: How was today?

Then, feeling something was off, I deleted it again. After thinking for a moment, I typed out, "I'm going home for dinner tonight," and sent it.

Meanwhile, Xu Wan, who had already finished her audition, had returned home.

She was lying on a chair in the courtyard, drinking afternoon tea.

Hearing her phone ring, she picked it up and saw it was a message from Shen Yihan, which made her raise an eyebrow.

I casually sent a cute emoji; the little guy on it was making an "OK" sign.

Shen Yihan was looking at the documents, glancing at his phone every now and then. When he heard the notification sound, he quickly picked up his phone to check.

He stared at the emoji Xu Mian posted for a while before putting down his phone.

My gaze fell on the time again; it was only a little past two o'clock. I thought to myself that time was passing rather slowly today.

"Host, congratulations!" Xiao Qi's voice rang out.

Xu Wan asked in confusion, "What joy?"

"You passed your audition today. Your agent will probably call you soon. Just keep an eye on the progress bar."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan quickly opened her personal panel, where the progress bar showed 10%.

She was somewhat surprised: "5% increase? The original lead actor starred in several dramas and only got 5%, and I just auditioned and they're giving me 5%?"

"Host, this means you'll become a minor celebrity through this drama."

Xu Wan laughed: "Yeah, this progress bar even has an identification function."

"Yes, host, your call is coming in."

As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, Xu Wan's phone rang, and she answered it immediately.

"Hey, Sister Cheng!"

"Xu Wan, the production team just called me and said you passed the audition and will join the crew in half a month." Sister Cheng's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, Sister Cheng, I understand!"

Sister Cheng habitually reminded me: "Take good care of yourself for the next two weeks, and make sure you take good care of your figure and skin."

"Well, I will."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Wan put down her phone, picked up the small cake next to her, and ate it with a clear conscience.

She doesn't need to manage her figure or skin; having a golden touch is all she needs.

"Host, I want to eat too!" Every time Xiao Qi sees her host eating, she feels craving something.

Xu Mian: No, you're just greedy for everything you see.

Xiao Qi covered her face shyly: Don't say that about me.

Xu Wan said, "It's in the space, go get it yourself."

She's eating the cakes her aunt Zhang made right now; she's too lazy to ask for another one, and besides, two cakes for one person seems a bit too much.

"Okay, host." Xiao Qi happily went to choose a small cake.

That evening, after Shen Yihan returned, the two sat down together for dinner.

Seeing that they were almost finished eating, and that Xu Wan still hadn't mentioned the audition, Shen Yihan finally spoke up: "How did your audition go today?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan replied, "It's approved. I'll join the crew in half a month."
