When the group arrived at the film set, the shooting order had been changed because they had given prior notice, so it didn't really delay the filming.

Upon joining the crew, Yuan Si'an was taken to the dressing room. Yuan Yangyang wanted to wander around, but Yuan Si'an grabbed her arm.

Yuan Si'an: "You are not allowed to go anywhere. You must stay by my side."

Yuan Yangyang protested, "Why should I?"

Yuan Si'an: "Weren't you supposed to be visiting me on set? If you're not by my side, what kind of visit is that?"

Yuan Yangyang's eyes widened; this was the first time she had ever heard such a statement.

Looking at the other person with suspicion, "Is that so?"

"Of course." Seeing that the other party really believed him, Yuan Si'an found Yuan Yangyang's naivety adorable.

Without any qualms, he continued to deceive, "Isn't the whole point of visiting the set to understand my work on set? Just follow me, and I guarantee you'll get a comprehensive understanding."

Yuan Yangyang disagreed, inwardly complaining.

I don't know what those people do; I'm not the director, I'm just here to watch the show.

Everyone says film sets are lively and exciting. If I'm with you, how am I supposed to hear gossip and watch the drama unfold?

Yuan Si'an immediately changed the subject, leaning closer to Yuan Yangyang and whispering, "Follow me, and I guarantee you'll hear the latest gossip from the crew."

"Really?" Yuan Yangyang asked doubtfully.

Yuan Si'an continued to deceive, "I'm your brother, would I lie to you? The inside stories and secrets of the production crew are known to my staff first."

"If you stay with me, I guarantee you won't miss a single piece of information."

"If you wander around the film set, people won't include you even if they want to gossip, because they don't recognize you."

Yuan Yangyang thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she stopped making a fuss and running around. She stayed by Yuan Si'an's side, watching the makeup artist do Yuan Si'an's makeup and listening to her gossip.

"Sister, you're amazing! You even knew about such a secret thing. And then, what happened next?"

Yuan Yangyang had a sweet tongue, as sweet as honey, praising the other person until they were shaking with joy, covering their mouth and giggling.

Then he continued to pour out all the gossip he knew, one by one, without sparing any effort.

Listening to Yuan Yangyang's praise, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.

It felt like going back to the first time she independently completed a makeup project, and the sense of accomplishment was no less than it had been then.

The two hit it off as they chatted, like old friends with endless topics to discuss.

Yuan Si'an then realized that Yuan Yangyang was an expert at flattery; she could spew out nice words without spending a penny, and most importantly, she made people feel that she was very sincere and not hypocritical at all.

The makeup artist and the staff next to her were secretly delighted, their faces beaming with joy.

Yuan Si'an was afraid that the makeup artist might accidentally ruin his makeup if her hand slipped.

Fortunately, the makeup artist was skilled enough, and the result was as expected.

Yuan Niaoniao had already quietly slipped away while Yuan Yangyang was mingling with the people around her.

He disliked Yuan Yangyang even more.

What a country bumpkin! What's there to talk about with those people? No matter how good the relationship is, they're just a bunch of low-class people who won't bring her any resources.

They're easily swayed and don't know how to build connections.

Yuan Niaoniao originally wanted to find the director directly, but after looking around the film set, she couldn't find him.

But it wasn't entirely without gains.

A male actor with an even bigger entourage than Yuan Si'an approached Yuan Niaoniao and asked if there was anything he could do to help her.

The two chatted for a while, and when Yuan Niaoniao learned that the other party was the second male lead in the drama, she immediately became very friendly.

Thinking that it would be good to get in touch with her, and maybe even introduce her to a director, would be better than her wandering around aimlessly.

Little did she know that the other party had similar plans.

Wu Anran had heard early on that Yuan Si'an had brought two girls to visit the set, claiming they were his sisters.

Everyone knows that the Yuan family has a daughter who is pampered by everyone in the family. If you can get close to the Yuan family's daughter, you won't have to worry about your career not taking off.

Wu Anran had her assistant inquire early on. One of the girls was dressed casually in sportswear, while the other was dressed in designer brands.

Upon first seeing Yuan Niaoniao, Wu Anran immediately recognized her as the daughter of the Yuan family, which is why she approached her and took the initiative to befriend her.

Upon inquiry, it was indeed true; she was Yuan Si'an's sister, and they immediately became even more enthusiastic.

Upon learning that Yuan Niaoniao was interested in acting, he immediately extended an olive branch.

“One of our actors just couldn’t make it at the last minute, and the director is looking everywhere for a replacement.”

"I heard there were some newcomers auditioning today, I wonder how it went."

"But it's okay. If you're interested, I can introduce you. The director won't make things difficult for you because of your brother."

Wu Anran was very cunning and didn't mention asking Yuan Si'an to introduce her, little did she know that this was exactly what Yuan Niaoniao wanted.

Yuan Niaoniao looked very happy, but also a little troubled, and said, "That's great. My fifth brother is too busy. He went to put on makeup as soon as he arrived. I don't want to trouble him with such a small thing."

"If Brother Anran can make an introduction, it will make things easier for my fifth brother."

After Yuan Si'an finished her makeup, she and Yuan Yangyang came out and saw Yuan Niaoniao and Wu Anran chatting happily.

"Who is that?" Yuan Yangyang asked.

[With his pretty-boy looks and super-slim build, could he be the one who's in love with Yuan Si'an?]

[But it's hard to say. That person has a girlfriend and a male mistress, and is bisexual. It's probably difficult to determine whether he's from that circle based solely on his appearance, right?]

Yuan Yangyang stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Yuan Si'an immediately became alarmed and spoke cautiously.

"His name is Wu Anran, and he's the second male lead in this drama."

"The second male lead? Isn't this a palace drama? What role does he play?"

Yuan Yangyang was confused. Aren't palace dramas supposed to be about a group of women surrounding a man?

Yuan Si'an immediately understood and explained, "Although he is the second male lead, he doesn't have many scenes. He plays the female lead's childhood sweetheart before she entered the palace, and can be considered her 'white moonlight'!"

So although Wu Anran didn't have many scenes, almost all of them were scenes with him, since he was playing the female lead in drag.

Thinking about how Wu Anran had repeatedly asked him to rehearse, Yuan Si'an's alarm bells went off. He wondered if that person was him.

Yuan Yangyang had also thought of this question and asked softly, "Does he have a girlfriend?"

Yuan Si'an thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know, we're not familiar with each other."

Sigh, what was that person's name again? I just can't remember it at all.

Hearing this, Yuan Si'an was also somewhat disappointed. He had thought that by bringing Yuan Yangyang to the film crew, he could find that person.

In hindsight, he had oversimplified things.

Just as Yuan Niaoniao and Wu Anran had agreed that the other party would take her to find the director, Yuan Si'an came out of the dressing room.

Yuan Niaoniao immediately panicked, but quickly calmed down and greeted Yuan Si'an.

"Fifth Brother, your makeup is so beautiful! You look absolutely gorgeous!"

Yuan Yangyang agrees with this point, which explains why the director preferred to have Yuan Si'an play the female lead rather than choose another actress.

It's truly outrageous that Yuan Si'an is so beautiful that she doesn't distinguish between men and women.

With that kind of appearance, anyone who sees him would be confused.

Wu Anran also came over. Even though he saw her every day, he still couldn't help but be amazed by Yuan Si'an's beauty.

Wu Anran's dazed look lasted only a moment, but Yuan Yangyang caught it, not even missing the infatuation in his eyes.

[No way? Could it really be him?]
