Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

When Gu Shijiu regained consciousness, she felt a tearing pain all over her body.

I have a few pages of paper and a glowing virtual interface at hand.

"Please challenge yourself with the initial skills of casting for the script of 'The Princess of Great Xia'."

The virtual interface emits an electronic voice and displays several options such as "intelligence, strength, speed, appearance, and acting skills".

Without Shi Qi's advice, Gu Shijiu could only rely on her somewhat sluggish brain to think.

Since you're an actor, you should improve your acting skills.

However, I'm not very smart. If I were a little smarter, that would be good too.

Gu Shijiu hesitated between the acting skills in the first row and the intelligence buttons in the second row, slowly reaching out her swollen hand to reach the intelligence buttons.

Unexpectedly, due to the intense pain, he couldn't lift his hand and instead pressed directly on the source of the force.

Uh, this is a bit bad.

After making her selection, Gu Shijiu discovered something even worse: she was now covered in bruises and seemed to have lost sensation in her lower body.

Was he beaten? No wonder he's in sore all over.

She had no recollection of when or why she was beaten.

Could it be that he's terminally ill and has lost his memory?

Gu Shijiu couldn't understand it. Looking around, the surrounding environment was terrifying.

Less than five centimeters from my head lay a skeleton, with bits of flesh on it, and the stench of decay made me want to vomit.

Looking around, there were corpses scattered everywhere.

Some looked like they had just fallen; the meat still looked quite fresh.

Some are rotting, and some bones have long since weathered away.

It turned out to be in a mass grave.

Gu Shijiu hadn't seen a dead person in many years, and suddenly being beaten half to death and thrown into a pile of corpses was quite unusual for her.

There were a few pages of paper beside me, and a cold wind was blowing around me, but the paper was not blown away.

Gu Shijiu picked it up curiously and found the words "The Great Xia Princess" script written on the cover: Yu Zhen.

It only contains a plot summary: a drought occurs in the Great Xia Dynasty, and a certain place suffers a complete crop failure, which naturally leads to famine and plague.

After her parents and grandparents starved to death, Yuzhen, a peasant girl, fled to the county town with her younger sister, Yuzhu.

They had no choice but to escape; their uncle was planning to sell the two sisters to a brothel in exchange for food.

The county is opening its granaries to distribute grain.

Many villagers brought their families into the city, and everyone praised the magistrate for caring for his people.

Unexpectedly, the reason the county magistrate distributed grain so early was because he had received news that the disaster affected a wide area and a large number of people, and the imperial court could not take care of this remote town.

Taking advantage of the chaos and the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the relief grain, the magistrate fled with his family.

The county magistrate and the county constable were not locals, and they followed suit and fled.

Now the disaster victims were left unattended, neighboring counties closed their city gates, and the situation descended into chaos, to the point where starvation was rampant and people were even resorting to cannibalism.

Fortunately, Yuzhen was alert and dared not go to the prosperous south. After many hardships, she led her sister through a forest and arrived at the fiefdom of the Prince of Yan.

The Prince of Yan became the only non-royal prince of the Great Xia Dynasty due to his outstanding military achievements. His fiefdom also has fertile black soil. Although it has been affected by the disaster, the situation is still relatively good, and he is willing to take in some disaster victims.

However, it is very dangerous for the two girls, Yuzhen and Yuzhu, to walk on the street; they cannot survive on their own.

After much deliberation, Yuzhen made the difficult decision to sell herself and her younger sister into the royal palace as slaves.

They were originally from farming families. Although women were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, they were still commoners.

Once you sell yourself into servitude, you become a slave, and your future depends entirely on your master's word.

But Yuzhen had no choice; if she didn't sell herself, she might lose her life.

The two sisters lived in the Prince's mansion for several years. Originally, Yuzhen was thinking that once she had saved enough money, she would ask her master for a favor to redeem her from the mansion and help her younger sister Yuzhu find a good family.

The problem was that the two sisters were born with beautiful faces, but Yuzhen's appearance was damaged by years of hard work, and her beauty could no longer be seen.

Because of her young age and the protection of her older sister, Yuzhu is not only beautiful but also has a naive and impulsive personality.

After discovering the beauty of Yuzhu, the steward of the Prince's mansion stopped letting her work and prepared to offer her to his master.

Yuzhen was extremely anxious, but Yuzhu thought it was a good idea.

She was only slightly dissatisfied with the person the steward presented; she preferred the Prince of Yan's heir to the lecherous and alcoholic second son.

So she did something outrageous: she seduced the heir apparent of the Prince of Yan.

This was an unforgivable crime, and Yuzhu's actions were quickly discovered by the Prince's Palace.

The two sisters were beaten and thrown out of the mansion to fend for themselves.

Yuzhen died in a mass grave, while Yuzhu was not severely punished.

It turned out that the Crown Prince of Yan found Yuzhu's clumsiness amusing, and secretly instructed his servants to only pretend to beat her.

She was then taken from the mass grave and placed outside the mansion.

Yu Zhu, who became the concubine of the Prince of Yan, matured rapidly after this great ordeal.

After experiencing a series of events with the Crown Prince, she unexpectedly won his true love and became the Princess Consort of Yan after he ascended the throne.

The two lived happily together, indulging in a shameless life in the royal palace.

(End of the play)

Gu Shijiu was a little confused when she saw these three words. That was it?

So, by now, Yuzhen should have been beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave; the filming should be over.

Gu Shijiu flipped through the script over and over, still not knowing what role she was supposed to play.

The subsequent plot is quite brief, only mentioned in a few sentences, because Yuzhen doesn't have any scenes with her.

Gu Shijiu was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a rustling sound getting closer and closer.

It turned out to be a few stray dogs, the leader of which was slick and shiny, with a strong body and fierce eyes.

Dogs without owners will turn back into wolves once they form a pack, and wolves living alone will also turn into dogs if they encounter humans.

Gu Shijiu recalled the internet celebrity wolf she had seen before, which would wag its tail when it saw people, and was not as fierce as these dogs.

The pack of dogs walked up to her, each one drooling.

Although she didn't know that the corpses in the mass grave would be eaten by various animals, her instincts told her that it was dangerous.

Did the script change, and Yu-zhen's ending scene become being bitten to death by a dog?

Gu Shijiu wanted to flip through the script again, but where was the script?

The script is missing.

"What is this?" Gu Shijiu couldn't understand. Then she picked up a skull from the ground and confronted the dog.

She didn't know what to do, but she couldn't just sit and wait to be bitten by a dog; she might die.

There was also the possibility of contracting rabies, and Gu Shijiu began to space out again.

She didn't have to wait long before a smaller dog jumped out from behind the lead dog and pounced on her.

Gu Shijiu had never experienced this kind of battle before, and subconsciously tapped the dog's head lightly with her skull.

Uh, the wild dog's brains splattered out, and it's dead.

This plot doesn't make sense. Gu Shijiu has Trisomy X syndrome, so she is born weak, with almost zero motor skills, and her intelligence and perception are weaker than normal.

Never before have I felt so heroic.

The dogs were startled, while Gu Shijiu stared at the skull in her hand for a long time without reacting.

The vanguard sent out to probe the enemy died a heroic death, and the leader of the dogs looked puzzled.

Usually, the people I encounter here are all dead, helpless and barely breathing. But this one is different.
