The discussion on her character was raging on Weibo, but none seemed to touch on her exceptional acting ability.

The audience was immersed in Qin Yuyan's vicious personality and seemed to ignore the actress's efforts in bringing this character to life. Her acting was a notch higher than the main lead. Even though Lin Zhi's acting was considered applaudable, the protagonist's impeccable acting skills surpassed the rest of the cast.

Mu Xi: "The TV Festival is coming soon. Shishi, I'm so looking forward to it. With the villainous role of 'Qin Yuyan', I'm confident that you'll win the 'Best Supporting Actress' this time!"

"TV festivals are just like film festivals—there are a lot of shady dealings behind the scene. We can't take anything for granted, lest we end up disappointed again." The actress sounded vexed,when she spoke, stroking her forehead ruefully. "There are so many things that have been bothering me lately. Seriously, I like acting and I enjoy the sense of accomplishment when I conquer the audience with my acting skills, but the entertainment industry, especially Lin Zhi, Yan Bingqing, and Li Xiang'er, gives me the feeling that it's more of a power play. In 'Lethal Beauty', the women in the palace are all fighting with one another, but this seems to be the same in real life. The entertainment industry is like a big harem, where the audience is like a mighty yet quite a blind and dim-witted monarch. The women in showbiz live in a conniving world filled with struggles for attention and power, and the viewers only see what they wanna see. All the artists are like Qin Yuyan; they have to exhaust all means to climb up the social ladder."

Her assistant furrowed her brows for a second and suddenly took a seat beside her, placing her palm gently on top of the actress's.

"Shishi, I've seen your hard work. Honestly, you don't have to be so hard on yourself. I'm sorry; I must've complained too much and put a great deal of psychological pressure on you. I won't add to your worries in the future, no matter how big or small the complaint is."

"It's not you who's giving me trouble, so you don't have to blame yourself."

"But… I seem to be sending a lot of negative energy onto you."

"Don't be silly. I'm just whining here. By the way—"

The door was opened from behind all of a sudden.

Gu Xingze pushed open the door and walked into the dressing room, looking exhausted, when he happened to hear Yun Shishi asking her young assistant with a beam, "Can you put in a leave request to Qin Zhou on my behalf tomorrow? I've already asked for a leave of absence from the production team because I can't come to the set for the next five days."

"What's the reason for taking so many days off?" asked the girl curiously.

She smiled sweetly and replied with a blush, "I'm going for my wedding photoshoot!"

The superstar stood in the doorway, petrified by what he had just heard.

Mu Xi was about to say something when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the tall figure in the doorway. When she turned her head to see the actor standing there, she was taken aback with shock. "X-Xingze! You're here already?"

Yun Shishi knitted her eyebrows and turned to look at the doorway with a start. The man was leaning against the door, his deep-set eyes covered by the stray fringe falling across his forehead, which prevented her from having a clear view of his face.

She had forgotten that they had to shoot two scenes together today.

She tugged at the corner of her lips and greeted him awkwardly, "Xingze…"

What followed suit was a frostily stiff atmosphere, and one which she did not know how to thaw.

Gu Xingze slowly raised his eyes and looked at her for a long time before giving her a bitter smile. "Shishi, you don't have to avoid me`deliberately , or am I bringing you any trouble?"
