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

Finally, the filming plan was finalized.

It took a long time to put on makeup.

The silver-blue eyeshadow, with tiny crystal fragments stuck to the outer corner of the eye, resembles mermaid teardrops.

Her long hair was highlighted with a few strands of ice blue, and her fishtail dress was adorned with sequins and light gauze.

The staff present couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"This makeup is amazing, even the real Little Mermaid isn't this beautiful."

"Yeah, how can someone have such fair skin?"

Before going into the water, Lin Liwen came over to give her some special instructions.

"This pool is a bit deep, so please let us know if you feel uncomfortable."

"Okay." Su Wuli smiled at her.

Her pale face was now covered by foundation, so there was no sign of anything unusual.

The breathing apparatus is a professional underwater model, with the mouthpiece held in the mouth.

The water was colder than I expected, but my body quickly adapted.

Su Wuli adjusted her pose according to the photographer's instructions, stretching her limbs in front of the camera.

She swayed her hips, causing the heavy skirt and sheer fabric to sway with the flowing water.

The photographer's instructions came through waterproof headphones.

"Keep your gaze...unfocused, raise your arms...as if inviting...turn slowly, let the gauze float..."

Everything went smoothly at first.

The water pressure made my ears feel a little sore and my chest felt a little uncomfortable from being squeezed, but it was all within a manageable range.

She focused intently on striking the pose and emotion the photographer wanted, slowly sinking to the bottom of the pool in preparation for a series of upward-looking shots.

Her long hair and wisps of gauze floated upwards as she adjusted her angle.

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the respirator connector that was bitten in his mouth.

Before she could even react to what it was...

Immediately afterwards, pressurized water rushed in from the joint gap, heading straight for his throat.

Su Wuli's mind went blank for a moment, and the instinct to cough erupted before her consciousness could react.

This cough, however, draws even more water into the trachea and rushes into the lungs.

Suffocation instantly seized all her senses.

She tried to push herself up, but her limbs were heavy and wouldn't obey her commands; the mermaid's skirt had become a deadly entanglement.

An unprecedented fear of near-death enveloped her, leaving only despair, and her consciousness gradually faded.

When she woke up, she was already lying in a hospital bed.

"Awake?" Lin Liwen's face was full of worry.

"Sister Wen," Su Wuli called out weakly.

"Is anything bothering you? I'll call the doctor over," Lin Liwen said.

Su Wuli shook her head.

Lin Liwen raised her hand and placed it on her forehead. "If you're not feeling well, just say so. Don't always think that you can't bother others."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli's nose tingled, "Mmm..."

Because the substance was inhaled into the lungs and caused mild inflammation, the doctor prescribed medication and advised the patient to rest.

When Lin Liwen returned to the apartment that evening, she gave him a few words of advice before leaving.

Su Wuli agreed and fell asleep faster than she had expected.

However, when she regained consciousness, she was back in the water, and the fear of water choking her mouth and nose returned.

She flailed her arms wildly, but couldn't get out of the water no matter what she did.

As her body sank, the mermaid suit once again became the heaviest shackle.

Her mind was in complete chaos; in her near-death state, she lost the ability to think.

Just before she lost consciousness again, she saw the water surface break open.

His black robes billowed like ink.

Su Wuli thought that must be a lifeguard...

Despite being clearly disoriented, he couldn't help but be astonished when he saw the other person's face clearly.

Yu Chen?

She was dreaming, and it was her own dream.

Su Wuli clearly saw Yu Chen's brows furrow when he saw her, and a hint of displeasure and a darker emotion flashed in his eyes.

He moved quickly, wrapping his arms around her waist and lifting her up.

Through the mermaid fabric, the warmth and strength of his hand seemed to be imprinted on her skin.

Their bodies inevitably pressed close together.

He held Su Wuli in his arms, his long arms around her waist like chains, pulling her upwards.

The water pressure squeezed her chest, and when she opened her mouth, she choked on a mouthful of water.

The feeling of suffocation gripped her throat, and her will to survive made her disregard everything else.

Her hands wrapped around his neck like vines, but even so, she still felt it wasn't enough.

The next second, a large hand gripped the back of her head, and thin lips pressed down on her without warning.

Their cool lips touched, and a warm breath entered her mouth.

She swallowed instinctively.

The air rushed into my burning lungs, miraculously soothing the excruciating pain.

Su Wuli greedily absorbed the food, unconsciously tightening her grip.

The breathing was continued several times until she could barely catch her breath.

He didn't leave immediately; his lips were still pressed against hers, and his breath was somewhat heavy.

The water rippled, and his eyelashes almost brushed against her skin.

Su Wuli saw that his eyes were very deep.

It's like scrutinizing, or perhaps restraining something.

Yu Chen's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he brushed the edge of her lower lip with the pad of his finger that was pinching her chin.

It stopped immediately.

Don't hold her as she quickly rises to the surface, bursting through the water with a "splash".

Cold air choked my nose.

Yu Chen first carried her to the edge of the pool, then he climbed up himself, splashing water in the process.

Both of them were soaked to the bone, and Su Wuli lay sprawled on the cold tiles, panting heavily.

The mermaid dress clung to her body, outlining every curve of her figure.

She slightly raised her eyes and saw a drop of water dripping from Yu Chen's chin, hitting her collarbone, and then sliding into her deeper cleavage.

Yu Chen knelt on one knee beside her, his gaze sweeping over her with a deep intensity.

From the almost transparent tulle hem to the shimmering sequins clinging to the waist and abdomen.

Finally, it landed on her face, resting on her slightly parted lips.

Su Wuli felt that the gaze had taken on a real weight, her skin tightened, and she subconsciously shrank back.

He suddenly reached out, placed his palm on the side of her neck, and pressed his thumb on her throbbing pulse.

Yu Chen leaned closer, the hem of his soaked black robe draped over her legs.

He stared at her lips, his breathing noticeably becoming heavier.

There was an undercurrent in his eyes that Su Wuli couldn't understand, as if he was forcibly suppressing something that was about to burst forth.

The fingers pressing on her neck tightened for a moment, then forcibly loosened.

Su Wuli had just recovered from her near-death experience when she saw Yu Chen's restrained gaze.

My heart sank, and I swallowed hard without thinking.

More than once, he said he could easily snap her neck.

Time seemed to stand still.

Despite having just experienced suffocation, Su Wuli still dared not breathe loudly.

She was afraid that she might accidentally offend him.

The man's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, as if he had finally snapped a string.

Without warning, the man's face suddenly loomed large, and a kiss landed.

"Well……"

Su Wuli's lips were easily captured.

Thin lips pressed down and sucked.

The tip of the tongue roughly pries open the teeth and goes straight in.

The coolness, damp with moisture, was completely different from the scorching heat he described.

A chilling masculine aura instantly enveloped her.
