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

Three days ago, Yu Ci suddenly sent her a WeChat message telling her that she was going to start studying her classic TV series.

At that moment, Gu Qiushui's inner thoughts were like this: ???

Learn from her?

It's not that Gu Qiushui looks down on Yu Ci; it's just that Yu Ci's level...

Okay, Yu Ci is a beginner and should start learning from supporting roles. Gu Qiushui originally wanted to suggest that Yu Ci watch other people's TV dramas.

but--

"I always feel more connected to Qiu Shui's TV dramas; the others are a bit dry."

She naturally took back what she was about to say, and then Gu Qiushui thought that it was fine to choose her, since she didn't play a complicated female lead in every drama.

Pick a few simple, easy-to-learn ones from earlier years; they can also be used to pass the time.

but.

Yu Ci had a keen eye and picked out the TV series "School Gate" from a bunch of TV dramas.

Miao Miao, a school beauty with a dark side and some problems... a complex character.

Goddess Gu: Don't be discouraged.

Gu Qiushui typed with difficulty on her phone screen, "Actually, it should be alright. Don't underestimate yourself. Just practice a few more times—"

Gu Qiushui quickly saw the following message pop up on her WeChat screen:

The other party requests a video call with you.

……

When Yu Ciyi saw the silhouette on his phone, he was stunned.

Perhaps it was because the lights in the small hotel were too bright, too yellow, and too dim, that Gu Qiushui, in the phone, looked different under those lights.

The image is slightly blurry with low resolution, but the skin looks very smooth.

She wasn't wearing makeup, but some people's beauty and temperament are already ingrained in their bones. They don't need lipstick in their eyes; just being quiet is enough to captivate and enthrall.

"Sister Qiushui".

"Well, I'm here."

"I sent you the video so you could see my recent insights into acting!"

"..."

It's been a month and a half.

The video was shown a total of eight times.

After each video call, Gu Qiushui felt like she had become a big liar.

That's not the worst part. The worst part is that she feels like she's lying bigger and bigger each time.

Although she had a lot on her mind, on the surface, Gu Qiushui seemed very ordinary: "Here comes another video."

“You’ve been making progress lately, and I believe you’ll improve even more this time.”

Although I felt terrible when I looked in the mirror during training, the encouragement from the expert made me realize that I could still improve.

"I think so too!"

"Although my progress isn't obvious, it's still noticeable!"

She smiled, a bright and cheerful smile.

Gu Qiushui remained silent for a long time before finally humming in agreement, "Yes, I can tell."

After that, Yu Ci began to explain which scene and plot he would be performing for Gu Qiushui that day.

"After watching 'The School Gate', I felt that this scene... Sister Qiushui, you were absolutely stunning in this scene."

"Quietly wearing her graduation gown, she walked out of the school gate."

"The past is gone, but the school is still the school. Even though it has been tainted, hope still remains."

Yu Ci watched it several times and was moved by Gu Qiushui's back view. "I practiced it more than ten times in private. Sister Qiushui, wait a moment, let me stand the phone up so you can take a look."

"Ah."

Yu Ci's movements were very fast.

She gets into character very quickly.

The only one is...

It gets in quickly.

Ok.

The acting was awkward.

The movie about the school gate was from many years ago, and Gu Qiushui didn't remember much of the plot, except—

She remembered that the school gate was supposed to be a... rather sad? movie.

The final outcome was also depressing.

So why does Yu Ci's back view look so cheerful?

Half an hour later.

"Well, I see it."

"can."

"I know this character represents the vicissitudes of life after experiencing the world," Yu Ci said confidently.

"Yes." The words truly conveyed a sense of weariness, but his back view looked happy, genuinely happy.

"Sister Qiushui, what do you think of my performance in this scene?"

The girl's eyes were shallow.

She felt as if her throat was being choked.

None of the words I had prepared could be uttered: "It's pretty good, a little bit better than last time."

She's easily satisfied; just one casual remark and she's so happy she could fly away.

After reviewing the acting, Yu Ci sat down on the sofa with his phone in hand.

"Sister Qiushui, is filming for 'The Beauty and the Wind' almost finished?"

"No..." According to the original plan, filming should have wrapped up by now, but two weeks ago, the investor added someone to the crew.

If it weren't for her personal relationship with director Shen Teng, Gu Qiushui would have really been unable to hold back.

It's ridiculous to insert a character who doesn't even exist into a drama that's almost finished filming.

Moreover, this lousy actor's acting skills are terrible.

It's been dragging on for several days now.

"It will probably take almost another month."

"So..." There's still a month left! Yu Ci was a little impatient. "Then, Sister Qiushui, how about I come visit you on set? There are so many questions that can't be explained clearly over a video, I want to ask you directly."

"Okay, come on."

……

The WeChat video call ended.

Xiaoqing quietly poured out some honey water from the kitchen.

Sister Gu during this period...

Something is really wrong.

During the video call, the entire conversation was filled with praise for someone's acting skills, noting their continuous improvement. Intrigued, she secretly watched for a while once.

Even if she couldn't act and had no acting skills, she could still clearly tell that... Yu Ci's acting was really bad.

But Sister Gu, who is considered a new generation's benchmark for acting skills, went against her conscience and said—

Not bad, acceptable, the expression is spot on, the movements are standard, and this is a series of lies.

"Sister Gu."

"Okay, it's alright now, you can go and rest."

"Okay, goodnight, Sister Gu!"

"Good night."

Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Set Visit! What? More scenes?

After saying goodnight, Gu Qiushui naturally took out her phone.

I used to not use Weibo, but later I really enjoyed using it.

I went to the toilet, and sure enough...

Yu Ci liked her post again.

But it seems like there was more than just a like today, there was also a mention?

With a slight lift of her eyebrows, she followed the trail of Aite and poked into the scarf.

……

Yu Ci v/: #Screenshot 1#Screenshot 2#Screenshot 3#I've been watching all the dramas starring goddess @Gu Qiushui lately. She truly is a goddess; she's been beautiful all along! It must have been hard work filming all these dramas over the years!

The accompanying pictures were all stills of her from her dramas, and judging from her appearance, they must have been taken from... a very, very long time ago until now.

Suddenly I remembered that not long ago Yu Ci said that he wanted to see your growth process, Goddess.

This was a very difficult period in the past.

Unlike many female celebrities in the entertainment industry who like to rehash old stories and claim to be workaholics, the real workaholic Gu Qiushui has never promoted herself in this way. She believes that everything in the past, although arduous, is proof of her hard work step by step.

There's no need to dig it out and put it under media scrutiny, turning it into a bargaining chip to win over fans.
