Nian Qin

Filming for the television series was going to begin soon. Qin was to play the role of an upright yet callous Su Feng. The first filming site was in Y City's filming studio, so on the script reading day, they gathered there. The sign on the door had the name of the series, written on it. The novel had been insanely popular when it was released, so there was a lot of hype over the series even before filming had begun.

Anticipation was further heightened because the female lead was Nian Qin and the male lead was Yang Xiao.

The opening party was to be held there and Zhang Qin was there to attend it with Qing Mian.

Everyone on set was a senior to her because she just made a comeback, so she walked around with a glass of wine and propose a toast to everyone. After some time, she felt her head begin to heat up.

"When was the last time I socialized?", she thought.

Then, she heard someone say that Nian Qin had arrived.

She was the female lead of the series and the most popular young actress in the mainland. When she entered, most of the attention shifted to her. She was followed by a few assistants and managers, commanding attention wherever she went.

As Qing Mian watched her, she really felt that Nian Qin was quite beautiful. It was the first time she was so close to such a huge celebrity. Qing Mian marveled at how she was indeed a huge celebrity. She had so many fans outside supporting her and wherever she went, there was a line of people waiting upon her.

Without a doubt, she was the center of attention.

A while later, she heard someone announce the director's arrival.

Fei Jingchen was insanely popular. Now, he was the newest male director that everyone knew about. When he stepped out of his car, the fans surrounding it started making a racket immediately. Their voices were piercing and deafening. The other celebrities could not help but be envious.

"A director even has so many fans", someone sighed

"Yes, he has a wide fanbase"

"Impressive"

A top director was a top celebrity. The moment he came out, a hoard of people rushed after him.

Just as people were talking, Yang Xiao, the male lead, came in. He was also insanely popular. Now, he was the most popular male actor that everyone knew about. When he stepped out of his celebrity van with his crew, the fans surrounding it started screaming. Their voices were piercing and deafening. 

Beside Zhang Qin, someone quickly said to her, "You and Yang Xiao have quite a few scenes together. Remember to try to get on his good side. Go over to him later and greet him. Otherwise, your scenes together may be awkward."

With her mouth half-open, Qing Mian also looked at Yang Xiao from a distance. He was tall and slender, his lips red and teeth white.

Qing Mian was suddenly pushed by someone.

"Sorry...", the person said but Qing Mian was already infront of Yang Xiao. Her eyes immediately met Yang Xiao's eyes. She spaced out and didn't know what to say.

"Young lady....", Yang Xiao said.

"Ah....hello." She could only summon up the courage to greet him.

Zhang Qin quickly eased the awkward atmosphere, "I'm sorry, she's my assisstant" 

Yang Xiao looked at Qing Mian with slight interest, noticing that although the expression on her clean and natural face was a little blank, her gaze was bright and clear. She looked very eye-catching thanks to her extraordinary pale skin.

In this industry replete with beautiful women who were starting to look more and more alike, she gave off a very different vibe.

He smiled as he said, "Hey, am I scary?"

"Huh? No, no way."

"Then why do you seem afraid to look at me?" He smiled sweetly as he stared at her round and misty eyes.

Laughing dryly, she said, "No way. I'm just a little uncomfortable... please go ahead. I'll be leaving first."

"Mum, I'll wait for you in your dressing room", she said to Qin.

"Hey... why are you running away?" Perplexed, Yang Xiao looked at the assistant beside him. "Hey, do I look very scary?"

"No"

When she managed to sneak out, Qing Mian found a place to sit. Soon after, she heard a voice above her head.

"Wasn't that the man Danyi said is like a demon...I must not provoke him, I don't want to die", she mumbled.

"Hey, no one is sitting here, right?"

Qing Mian raised her head to look; Nian Qin was here!!

With her mind blank, she said, "Nope."

Nian Qin sat down, she exuded elegance and royalty. Qing Mian drank a mouthful of water. She caught sight of Nian Qin looking at her and turned back to him.

Nian Qin looked at her. "You're an assistant?"

Qing Mian nodded, looking respectful and mannerly. It was only right to behave this way towards a senior.

"You look like a high school girl"

"I'm my mum's assistant."

"Ohhh, which school are you attending?", she asked.

"Shengdu Royal High School"

"I have a friend there. Mr. Lin..."

"No way, is he a big shot?"

"He is actually under punishment. He....."
