Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

It's 3 a.m. in the apartment.

Su Wuli suddenly opened her eyes from the bed.

The room was quiet, and I was lying on soft sheets.

The sensations in my body... were exceptionally clear.

It seemed as if a heavy weight was pressing down on him, and he was burning hot.

It's stuck in the middle, bringing with it a restless and unsettling feeling.

It felt as if a temperature that didn't belong to me still lingered on my skin.

Completely unable to sleep, she paused for a moment, then moved her fingers, which trembled slightly.

She then raised her hand and touched her lips, which still carried the man's scent.

It tingles slightly when touched.

Unsurprisingly, the body under the blanket was completely naked.

An emptiness filled my heart, silently permeating the still of the night.

She slowly turned to her side and buried her face in the pillow.

The pillow was soft and dry, with a faint scent of detergent, quite different from the scent of my dreams.

But when you close your eyes, what appears in the darkness is still that eye filled with terrifying desire when he finally pressed down on you.

She tossed and turned, feeling sticky all over, and had to get up and take a shower.

That calmed me down a bit, and I was able to fall asleep easily.

I had no dreams in the latter half of the night.

I still had no dreams for the next few days.

On the day that "The Beauty in the Flames" officially started filming, Su Wuli got up early.

At 10 a.m., the van slowly stopped at the filming location, which was a grassland in the film studio.

Outside the car window, you can already see a lot of people holding up their phones.

They gathered outside the cordon, constantly tiptoeing to peer inside.

Su Wuli's makeup and hair were done. To fit the character, her long hair was braided into neat braids.

She wore only very light foundation on her face, deliberately highlighting the clarity and resilience of the grassland princess in the early stages.

"Mist Pear, we've arrived." Su Yuan glanced out of the car; the people there didn't look like fans.

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous, clutching the bottled water and the small fan tightly in her hands.

Su Wuli took a deep breath and nodded.

I opened the car door.

The heatwave outside immediately swept over us, mixed with the buzzing chatter of the crowd in the distance, making it hard to breathe.

As soon as the foot touched the ground, a commotion broke out outside the cordon.

"Su Wuli, you should read the original novel. The female lead isn't like you."

"If you can't ride a horse, don't play a grassland princess. Please, don't ruin my ideal woman."

"Replace the actor; those who bring their own funding to join the production should get out of 'The Flame of Love'."

The voices chattered into Su Wuli's ears.

She could even see the excited faces of several young girls nearby.

She paused for a moment, her fingertips curling slightly inside the thin sleeve.

Upon seeing this, Su Yuan's expression changed, and she immediately stepped aside to block her.

He said quickly in a low voice, "Don't listen to anything, let's go inside quickly."

She reached out and gently supported Su Wuli's arm, wanting to lead her quickly across the area.

Su Wuli took a deep breath and gently brushed away Xiao Yuan's hand.

Then he looked straight ahead, towards the entrance.

Walk in step by step.

The sounds continued.

"I heard the first scene after filming starts is a horse-riding scene? Let's wait and see how she falls."

"What was the production team thinking? Casting such a delicate-looking actress..."

"My heart aches for my daughter, Ulanzhu..."

Just as she was about to reach the entrance, Su Wuli suddenly stopped.

She stood still, turned her head to the side, and calmly looked at the emotionally charged crowd outside the cordon.

The sunlight slanted across her face, revealing her long, delicate eyelashes.

She stared intently in the direction from which the loudest shout had come from.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment. No one expected her to stop, let alone look over.

Su Yuan was stunned when she saw this, and subconsciously reached out to pull her.

He stopped halfway through reaching out his hand, staring blankly at Su Wuli's profile.

Su Wuli opened her lips, her voice not loud, one could even say it was a little soft.

But every word was clear and distinct, reaching their ears through the sweltering air.

"It's not that I haven't been bullied."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl, who had been excited, froze for a moment, and a hint of unease flashed across her face.

Her past experience of being bullied at school was brought up again recently, and many people know about it.

"I was able to pull through back then," Su Wuli continued.

His voice remained calm, but with a hint of resilience: "I can do it now too."

The meaning couldn't be clearer after he finished speaking.

It means that they are no different now than those who bullied her back then.

The crowd fell silent.

Some people looked away, while others moved their lips as if to refute, but couldn't find the words.

A hint of guilt and embarrassment flashed across some people's faces.

But some were not convinced. A girl standing a little further back shouted out defiantly.

"That sounds nice, but let's see if you can avoid falling off your horse later."

Su Wuli glanced at her but didn't reply.

He simply nodded slightly. "Okay, then we'll wait and see."

Having said that, she stopped and started walking towards the entrance again.

You can still faintly hear the girl say disdainfully, "Hmph, that's easy for you to say. You've probably already prepared a stand-in."

Su Yuan followed behind Su Wuli in a daze, her mouth slightly open.

Looking at the figure walking ahead, his eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

She's been with Su Wuli for so long, she knows her too well.

In the past, Su Wuli's usual approach to dealing with such situations was to avoid them if possible, and if she couldn't avoid them, she would remain silent and shrink away.

To confront the doubts head-on like today, even to lay bare old wounds that you least want to talk about...

Su Yuan had never seen it before.

Once inside, the crew's production assistants and security personnel came to greet and guide you.

Su Yuan then came to her senses and hurriedly handed over her documents, her gaze involuntarily glancing at Su Wuli, who was waiting quietly beside her.

"Ms. Su, this way please. Go touch up your makeup first. The director said the first scene will start in half an hour."

The stagehand ran over and said.

Su Wuli smiled and nodded. "Okay."

Following the stagehands inside, we passed several actors rehearsing their lines.

Someone nodded to her in greeting, and Su Wuli nodded slightly in response.

The dressing room was actually a temporary tent, but the air conditioning inside was quite strong. The makeup artist came over to do a final check.

The makeup artist tidied her braids one last time, stepped back, and examined her closely.

"Okay, you're in good shape and fit the role perfectly."

Su Wuli looked at the "Ulanzhu" in the mirror, a face that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

He then stood up and took off his somewhat stuffy sun-protective jacket.

The light yet neat grassland-style dress underneath is revealed.

"Let's go."

Outside, the filming location is busy yet orderly, with the director and cinematographer making final confirmations about camera positions.

The horse trainer led a beautiful white horse to the designated spot.

The horse seemed a little uneasy under the lamplight, gently pawing at the ground.

The moment Su Wuli appeared, everyone's eyes turned to her.

Her eyes initially showed amazement, but quickly turned to worry.

Su Wuli nodded to everyone and walked up to the director.

"Director, I'm ready."

The director frowned slightly, almost unconsciously.

He witnessed that solid fall firsthand.

The video went viral online, and he was filled with anxiety.

The very first scene to be filmed is a major horse-riding scene. If anything goes wrong, the show's reputation will be ruined before filming even begins.
