When the recording of the show was finished, it was already very late when they returned to the villa. As they still had to go to the drama set tomorrow, He Yi hurriedly urged the two to take a bath and sleep.
Meanwhile, Shen Shuyao had already gone to rest in the master bedroom. Ji Nian was lying on the bed alone, and couldn't help but think back to the recording of the show today.
She had been in this world for a while now, although she didn't know how she had transmigrated here.
Strangely though, Ji Nian had clearly died in the book, but when she saw Cheng Liran, she could still clearly feel the original host's consciousness there.
Why was that? Could there be something else going on, leaving the original host with a sliver of obsession? The key seemed to lie with this man Cheng Liran. Should she try to talk to him alone?
"Forget it, it doesn't seem feasible," Ji Nian shook her head, talking to herself. She didn't have the original host's memories. If her cover was blown, she would have to do a lot of explaining, the risk was too high.
She yawned. She thought that it was too troublesome to think about these annoying things. She didn't care anyway. Ji Nian cleared her mind and soon fell into a daze and asleep.
At this time online, even though Happy Camp had finished airing, the topic was still trending hotly. Those night owl netizens were still scrolling through Weibo.
Some even cut out Ji Nian's footage separately. Her tearful and smiling face made everyone exclaim that she was too beautiful.
"When others cry they are breathtakingly beautiful, but when I cry I look like a ghost?"
"I won't say anything else, but Ji Nian is truly good-looking. Her temperament itself is cold and aloof, a goddess. But when she cries, she cries her way into my heart."
"Hasn't everyone noticed? She has never taken advantage of Cheng Liran's popularity, it has always been everyone who grabs onto her and won't let go."
"Those who have been in love, can't you see? Only when you truly love someone deeply do you have that kind of look in your eyes."
"When Cheng Liran said the word "obedient", her eyes were already gleaming with tears."
"I strangely have good feelings towards her. Although after breaking up she made a big fuss at the man's company, afterwards she never brought up the matter to gain popularity."
"She didn't gain popularity? The heartbreak songs she released right after, (Guest) and (Arrogance), don't those count as gaining popularity?"
"Haha the above made me laugh."
While on this side, fans of the Ji Nian-Shen Shuyao CP were also unwilling to fall behind. They directly cut out all the interaction footage between the two from Happy Camp.
"Our Shuyao is just so nice."
"After Ji Nian answered the questions, she was in a bad mood. Later during the games, did you notice most of it was Shuyao taking care of Nian?"
"Hahaha, this sugar is so sweet, who cares about Cheng Liran, our Shuyao is home."
"Ji Nian and Shen Shuyao are a perfect match, one is cold, one is cute, if this isn't complementary what is?"
"The above, Ji Nian only looks cold on the outside, but when she speaks she is super silly."
"Haha, the truth comes out. A beautiful appearance but silly at heart."
"This is the couple I ship the hardest. Shuyao's deep confession really hit me in the feels. Ji Nian you better not fail our Shuyao!"
"Love it, love it!"
In the morning, sunlight filled the entire room. A ringing alarm woke Ji Nian up. The glaring sunlight made her unable to open her eyes.
She hazily got out of bed, only just remembering that she had forgotten to draw the curtains last night.
Knock knock. There was a knock on the door.
"Nian, time to get up. We're going into the set today." Shen Shuyao's gentle voice sounded outside the door.
Ji Nian looked completely like she just woke up. Barefoot, she went to open the door and squinted at the visitor.
Seeing the woman's sleepy appearance, Shen Shuyao smiled helplessly, "Hurry up and get ready, no need for makeup today, going straight to set."
Ji Nian nodded, answering with a yawn, "Ok, I'll go change now."
After simply eating breakfast, He Yi came to pick them up. In the car, Ji Nian caught some more sleep. She thought to herself that this job really was tiring, mainly mentally tiring. She would have to toughen up mentally.
Once at the set, she was hurriedly pulled to hair & makeup and costume change. The crew and cameramen on set had already prepared the equipment and set.
"Nian, your scenes are first," the director came over with script in hand to go over the scenes, "The first episode is mainly about demons making trouble in the mortal world, and the male lead Bai Ruoyuan slaying monsters and defeating evil, coincidentally saving your life during it."
"Mm mm." Recently hanging out with Yu Luobai so much, Ji Nian had already analyzed these plot points and scenes to the point she almost memorized them.
"What you need to do is, in the moment the male lead saves you, act with your eyes." Seeing the woman listening intently, satisfaction flashed in the director's eyes.
"This is the first time you see the male lead. In white clothes, like a god descending, using magic to battle and defeat the monsters. You feel he is breathtaking, and this scene becomes etched deeply into your heart from then on."
"Mm mm." Ji Nian kept nodding without asking anything further. The leader says it, so that's what it is. She'll just listen.
"Alright, take another look at your lines. We start filming in 5 minutes." The director said before hurrying off towards the cameras again.
Ji Nian was still dazed. That's it? They would start filming in 5 minutes? Isn't that too fast...
Cheng Liran had already finished his makeup and come out. Seeing the woman standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but frown.
The topic on Weibo blew up again yesterday. He was actually quite annoyed by it. The contract was up, he thought that with the breakup there wouldn't be anything more connecting him with this woman.
But as if deliberately teasing him, both jobs he came across recently were with her.
"I thought this script was good when I first saw it, but there was an accident midway and they changed the role. Just so happens they changed it to this Ji Nian..." his manager Eighth Older Brother complained at the side, "Should've known not to take this script for you."
Cheng Liran frowned, glancing at the man beside him, "We're just coworkers."
"Don't know what luck this woman has with no real works, yet still so hot." Eighth Older Brother spat.
"The few songs she released, what do you call those if not works?" Cheng Liran rebutted, reading the script as he spoke.
Eighth Older Brother was left speechless. What's going on, he tries to stand up for him yet gets no gratitude.
"Forget it, I'll go order some milk tea for the crew." Eighth Older Brother decided to let it go and get on with proper business instead.
Although his artist was a top tier celebrity, they still had to maintain their image. Giving the staff some drinks and food could also earn them a good reputation.
"Ok." Cheng Liran responded.
"Nian, Liran, we can start. First shot." The director called.
Hearing her name called, Ji Nian froze. Although she had been taking lessons with Yu Luobai recently, when it came to actually being on set she was still extremely nervous.
As Cheng Liran walked past the woman, seeing her standing there stunned, he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going?"
Hearing the voice, Ji Nian turned to look at the side. She saw the man dressed in ancient costume, glowing with immortal airs, very much having the aura of the immortal described in the script.
"Oh, going now." Ji Nian didn't know why the man would talk to her.
She slowly ambled over, her mind still wandering. An average person coming to act, unbelievable in the past...
