After her makeup was done, Jiang Ling, following the original description, changed into a white silk and sheer gauze outfit that had been prepared beforehand. Her long skirt trailed on the ground, and with a graceful, ethereal stride, she arrived at the bridal chamber.
Dragon and phoenix emblems, a hundred sons and a thousand grandsons, high red candles, much like Li Shengnan's continually burning life, about to be extinguished.
"All positions ready," Guan Suyun announced, "Action!"
Jiang Ling immediately got into character. She gently closed the door and said in a soft voice, "Shiyi, are you still blaming me?"
The softly spoken words were both delicate and seductive, with the trailing end carrying a heavy despair and brokenness.
Her life had reached its end. Before dying, the man she loved most still hated and resented her.
But she had no choice. This was the only way she could resolve her regrets and depart in peace.
Upon hearing this line, Le Zhengyu’s entire body jolted.
When an expert makes a move, you know the quality.
Although he wasn't an actor of overwhelming skill, he knew what good acting was.
He could feel the immense power contained within the line, "Shiyi, are you still blaming me?"
Was this still the Jiang Ling who had previously recited lines as if reading numbers?
"Cut!"
Guan Suyun suddenly shouted. She picked up the microphone and scolded Le Zhengyu, "What are you messing around for? To reshoot the male and female leads' scenes, the entire cast and crew have been waiting for you for a full seven days, and you're standing there like a block of wood. Are you trying to infuriate me to death?"
Le Zhengyu snapped back to reality, realizing he had, without even noticing, been captivated by Jiang Ling's voice and lost his train of thought.
Seeing Le Zhengyu being berated by Guan Suyun, Jiang Ling's lips curved into a schadenfreude-filled arc.
How could she not tell how reluctant Le Zhengyu was to act opposite her?
He wanted to see her make a fool of herself. Now he knew her strength, didn't he?
Le Zhengyu had originally intended to put Jiang Ling in her place. Who would have thought she would be so formidable?
He was truly, utterly embarrassed.
The bridal chamber was eerily silent; one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone in the crew knew that Guan Suyun was extremely strict during filming. No matter who it was, friend or relative, if they didn't take their acting seriously, they would be scolded.
Previously, when Le Zhengyu filmed this scene, he had performed very well.
He hadn't expected that today, when reshooting with Jiang Ling, he would be thrown off by a single line from her.
Terrifying!
This line delivery skill was truly terrifying!
"Director Guan, I apologize, I apologize. I didn't expect… In short, I'm truly sorry. Let's try again!"
Seeing Guan Suyun's expression turn ugly, Le Zhengyu quickly apologized and tried to placate her.
Guan Suyun took a deep breath. "Again. All departments, prepare. Action!"
As the words fell, Jiang Ling's eyes shifted, getting into character a step ahead of Le Zhengyu.
"Shiyi, are you still blaming me?"
Though the line was the same as before, her tone was much weaker, yet it more accurately conveyed Li Shengnan's state of weakened vital essence at this point.
Le Zhengyu, sensing the change in her tone, realized she had been deliberate earlier, and a surge of anger filled him.
At the same time, he recognized that this woman, whose beauty was almost otherworldly, possessed acting skills superior to his own.
If he didn't handle this carefully, he would truly be overshadowed by her.
Le Zhengyu maintained a cold expression, his face filled with resistance and helplessness.
Jiang Ling sighed, "I know you hate me, but no matter how much you hate me, you and I are already husband and wife. I am content, and have no further desires."
Le Zhengyu continued coldly, "I have done as you wished. Now, should you give me the antidote?"
