Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

It was a large film crew borrowing space from a smaller film crew.

The director had given prior notice that Gu Qiushui, being a semi-leading actress, shouldn't have needed to say thank you.

But she did say it! This made Director Li feel very favorably towards her.

"It's nothing," Director Li said with a smile. "It was just a small favor for us, nothing at all."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, filming began.

The support staff and some other actors were quickly cleared out of the filming area.

This is the scene I saw when I came here for the second time.

A female strategist in a red dress stood in the small teahouse that had been set up earlier, talking eloquently to a richly dressed man.

"I know Your Highness's purpose in going there."

I once read the synopsis of the script for "The Rebel," which tells the story of a young lady from a fallen kingdom who, while fleeing, enters an enemy country. In order to seek revenge, she cultivates herself into an ambitious woman, gradually rises in power in the enemy country, and eventually becomes the emperor's favorite minister. Then, using her power, she betrays her country and turns it into a sieve.

If I'm not mistaken, they should be filming right now...

After lying low in the enemy country for a year, the young lady finally met the person she longed to see.

The two met at a teahouse. The young lady, despite being a woman, was charming and witty, and her sharp words caught the prince's attention.

Because of the distance, I couldn't see Gu Qiushui's face clearly.

But she could see the aura.

With a wave of his sleeve, he exudes elegance and wit, his conversation flowing effortlessly.

Okay... go for it.

The director continued filming, while Yu Ci stared intently at Gu Qiushui.

About five or six minutes later, the director of the film crew next door yelled "cut".

The first scene of "The Rebel" has been filmed.

Another actress, who didn't have many scenes, saw Yu Ci staring intently at her and asked, "Yu Ci, are you a fan of Gu Qiushui?"

"Yes."

"No wonder you were so engrossed in watching her."

It's a pity, though.

Tsk, if Gu Qiushui were still the eldest daughter of the Yu family, having such a fan would definitely boost her value, but now...

It's just generating a little buzz.

Gu Qiushui finished filming this scene and went to the back to change clothes.

Having honed her acting skills for seven or eight years, this kind of leading lady drama is not too difficult for her.

The only difficulty is having to wear so many clothes in this kind of weather.

The assistant was wiping her sweat. "Sister Gu, when the people delivering watermelons arrive later, will they be distributed to the whole crew?"

"hair."

"You told them to cut the melons along with the delivery ones. Later, you and Xiaomu will take the melons to the director and the lead actors, understand?"

"I understand, Sister Gu, you can rest assured that I'll handle it."

Gu Qiushui hummed in agreement. Although this assistant was talkative and liked to gossip, she had never made a mistake in these trivial matters.

By the time all four acts were finished, it was almost noon.

Because there was a final farewell scene, "The Rebellious Minister" borrowed more than an hour of space from "The Land of Beauty".

noon.

Both film crews ate boxed lunches.

When the crew of "The Kingdom" saw the boxed lunches of the crew of "The Rebellious Minister," they couldn't help but feel a little envious, even though they knew the difference between first- and second-tier TV dramas.

On average, each person got a few extra pieces of meat, plus soup, it was really...

However, not long after the complaints, news came from the logistics department that there was a share to be made. Upon inquiring, it turned out that it was sent by Gu Qiushui, the female lead of the neighboring drama crew.

This drew praise from many people.

There's a reason she's able to become a leading lady. She's beautiful, a good actress, and so shrewd. It would be an injustice if someone like her didn't become famous.

Yu Ci also got to enjoy the gossip that the female lead shared.

I must say, it's actually quite sweet.

After finishing her meal, she began to think.

It turns out that even those with minor status have a chance to meet Gu Qiushui, as long as the opportunity is right. But just being able to meet her isn't enough; what identity should one use to approach her?

Opponent? Pass.

Partner? Passed again.

So--

Little fan?

That's a good option.

What Yu Ci didn't know was that she had just made the decision to become Gu Qiushui's little fan when she received the legendary divine assistance.

-

As instructed, the assistant delivered the biggest and sweetest melon to both directors and lead actors before returning to report.

"Sister Gu, have a piece too."

"Okay, put it there. I'll eat it after I finish this bite."

After putting the melon down, the assistant chuckled.

Gu Qiushui raised her eyebrows slightly. "Tell me, what gossip have you heard this time?"

"Ah! Sister Gu, how did you know?"

"You only get this excited when you're gossiping."

"Alright, this time we're still talking about... still about that young lady."

For some reason, it seems like the name Yu Ci keeps intruding into her life lately.

"What's wrong now?"

"Sister Gu, you have no idea! When we were dividing the melons just now, I overheard the supporting actresses from the Jiangshan crew discussing something. Apparently, Miss Yu is a huge fan of yours!"

"..."

A die-hard fan?

"I heard that when you were filming this morning, Miss Yu stared at you without blinking once."

Gu Qiushui: ...

Yeah.

"I never expected you to have such a wealthy fan, Sister Gu." But the excitement only lasted a short while before the assistant became disappointed. "But this wealthy fan is a bit unlucky."

"Hey, thinking about it this way, what if Yu were still—"

"Alright." Gu Qiushui interrupted her assistant calmly, "Why think so much? Don't always expect something for nothing."

The assistant responded with an "oh".

Gu Qiushui, however, couldn't help but glance at the group of actresses in Jiangshan.

Then, she saw Yu Ci squatting in a corner, gnawing on a divination stick.

"..."

Isn't she a rich heiress?

Why are you eating watermelon so...unrestrained?

Having not eaten fruit for a long time, Yu Ci happily picked up the second slice of watermelon after tasting it and finding it incredibly delicious.

It's sweet, so very sweet.

Chapter 45 Can I get an autograph?

The afternoon shoot began quickly.

The fans were removed, and the midday temperature was very high, causing many actors to sweat.

Gu Qiushui, who was photographed under the scorching sun, sweated the most.

However, even when a beautiful woman is sweating, she can still find a way to describe it as being drenched in fragrant sweat.

It was at this moment that Yu Ci appeared.

"Hello," she called out to Gu Qiushui's assistant.

The assistant didn't actually know many people from the Jiangshan film crew, except for Miss Yu, whom she had been gossiping about for a long time. "Is there something you need?"

"Well, it's like this..."

"What is it?" the assistant asked again. "I need to go get something for my sister Gu."

Yu Ci knew that she had already been coy enough, and if she continued to be coy, something bad would happen.

"It's nothing, I just wanted you to take this to Sister Gu!" After saying that, Yu Ci shoved the white thermos into his assistant's hands, took a step back, and disappeared in a flash.

The assistant, who had originally intended to return the items, suddenly found herself with no other choice.

Behind.

As Gu Qiushui finished her performance and wiped her chin and neck with a slightly damp towel, she happened to glance at the white thermos bottle on the side and paused for a moment. "Xiaoqing, where did this white bottle come from?"

"Sister Gu!" Gu Qiushui had almost forgotten about this thing if she hadn't seen it. "I ran into that Miss Yu on the road at noon, and she forced it on me."

"I'll give it to you?"

"No, no," the assistant quickly waved her hand. "It's not me, it's you, Sister Gu! It's probably true that the crew here said Miss Yu is your fan!"
