The set of "Sword Immortal Romance."
Mu Xing was currently with her precious younger brother, Jiang Chen, familiarizing him with the environment on set.
However, Jiang Chen completely lacked the self-awareness expected of a "guest."
Like a king surveying his territory, he pointed and commented on everything on set, and even, in front of all the staff, "instructed" Mu Xing on her acting.
"Third Sister, your line just now, the emotion was wrong."
"You should have been more decisive, not so soft and weak like you are now."
His words were full of an "air of superiority" and "professionalism" beyond his age, drawing suppressed whispers from the surrounding staff.
Director Director Wang also had a headache over the arrival of this "little ancestor"... but due to Mu Xing and the Young Master Lu behind her, he could only stand by, smiling apologetically, not daring to show any neglect.
Just then!
A black rolls-royce phantom, like a monarch in the dark night, silently arrived at the set.
As soon as Lu Cheng got out of the car, the director and screenwriter immediately rushed forward like two pugs seeing their dear father, their attitude utterly fawning!
Seeing this stark contrast, Jiang Chen's proud heart, belonging to a "genius," felt a hint of displeasure for the first time.
He actively stepped forward, blocking Mu Xing, and watched the man who got out of the car with a hostile gaze, full of vigilance.
However, Lu Cheng didn't even bother to give him a proper look.
Instead, he directly greeted Mu Xing.
"Long time no see, did you miss me?"
Mu Xing's pretty face flushed, and her eyes instinctively darted away.
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, his alarm bells immediately went off!
He immediately rushed forward, spreading his arms like a protective puppy, and roared at Lu Cheng in a childish voice:
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"
Lu Cheng then lowered his head, looked at the ignorant little brat in front of him, and chuckled: "Little friend, this isn't your home, you know."
He directly announced to Director Wang next to him.
"Director Wang, this younger brother of mine is very mischievous."
"Just arrange a role for him, let him experience life firsthand."
...What a shrewd person Director Wang was!
He almost instantly grasped the deeper meaning behind Young Master Lu's words!
He arranged a highly "challenging" role for Jiang Chen, one that would make him unforgettable for a lifetime.
A little eunuch who would "kowtow and wish a long life" to the main villain, played by a greasy middle-aged actor in the drama.
Jiang Chen, confident in his [God-tier Acting MAX] ability, naturally agreed to this "small role" with disdain.
In his opinion, even if he played a eunuch, he could still conquer the entire set with his unparalleled acting skills!
...The audition officially began!
Director Wang cleared his throat and made a request to Jiang Chen:
"When we start shooting later, you must perform three kowtows and nine prostrations; your movements must be standard, and your emotions must be in place!"
"The lines are also very simple, just one sentence—"
"Godfather, may you enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as the heavens!"
Jiang Chen: "..."
His small face turned crimson!
His whole body froze in place!
Because he had just... tried to use his Charm Aura to influence Director Director Wang's mind and make him change his mind!
But he was horrified to discover that his ever-victorious system aura had actually... completely failed?!
Instead, a system prompt sounded in Lu Cheng's mind.
[Villain Aura effect is active...]
Just as Jiang Chen was in a dilemma.
Lu Cheng stood beside Mu Xing, "kindly" advising:
"Jiang Chen, as an actor, the first lesson is to learn to let go of unnecessary pride."
"For art, what is this small grievance of yours?"
And so, under the gaze of all the staff on set.
Jiang Chen finally knelt down reluctantly.
He awkwardly kowtowed a few times.
So-called god-tier acting... couldn't make kowtowing into something spectacular either... Next, it was Lu Cheng and Mu Xing's turn for their scene.
After Ji Yao was taken home by Lu Cheng, the so-called female lead naturally became Mu Xing.
And the focus of the plot, also changed by the sensible screenwriter, became the love-hate entanglement between Lu Cheng and Mu Xing... The plot continued the previous "pursuit" scene overflowing with ambiguity, except this time, the setting was changed to indoors.
When Lu Cheng put on the silver mask and got into character, his entire demeanor instantly changed.
He was no longer the lazy and casual young master of a rich family, but rather... a night walker with sharp eyes and a dangerous aura.
During the fight, Lu Cheng's movements were even more full of "training" implications.
He always narrowly avoided Mu Xing's sword at an extremely perilous angle the moment she struck.
Yet his body always "accidentally" made various intimate and ambiguous contacts with her—
His slender fingers brushed her delicate wrist.
His broad chest grazed her graceful back.
His warm breath sprayed on her sensitive, reddened ear... His lines, on the surface, were about the plot, but every word seemed to be privately... "The heroine's sword is too eager." to Mu Xing.
"Do you... want to catch me that badly?"
And when he cornered Mu Xing again, he would softly say:
"Your heart is in turmoil."
"If you continue like this, you will... suffer a qi deviation."
Mu Xing was provoked by his words and body language, her pretty face flushed, her heart raced, and she had several NGs!
She felt both shy and annoyed!
But she also had to admit that the man in front of her, whether from his acting or his damned charm, possessed a fatal attraction!
Making it impossible for her to concentrate!
...This scene, overflowing with ambiguity, finally finished shooting under Director Director Wang's excited gaze, full of "shipping."
All the staff on set, especially the women, praised Lu Cheng's "acting" and "charm" endlessly.
As for Jiang Chen, the so-called "eight-year-old prodigy," he was left alone by everyone, unnoticed.
He tried to go up and say a few words to his Third Sister Mu Xing, but was mercilessly pushed aside by a group of equally excited actors.
He wanted to go argue with the director, but then found that the director and screenwriter were surrounding Lu Cheng, like devout followers, asking him for "divine guidance"... Jiang Chen stood alone in the corner, watching Lu Cheng and Mu Xing, who were surrounded by the crowd.
The two of them seemed to form their own world, leaving no room for anyone else to intrude.
His small hands clenched into fists, his teeth gnashed so loudly they almost fell out.
After all, an eight-year-old child is in the process of losing baby teeth.
"Lu Cheng... Lu Cheng!!!"
"You just wait! I will absolutely not let you off!"
"Both Big Sister and Third Sister will be deceived by a hypocrite like you! But Second Sister won't! She's the strongest!"
"When she comes back, that will be your death day!!!"
