Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 110

By noon that day, Sheng Nuan drove her little BMW and arrived at the set on time.

After reporting to Director Hou Xin, she headed to the makeup room to get ready… Once her makeup was done, she would shoot her character’s stills and then film a scene that evening, with more scenes scheduled for the next three days.

Hou Xin had clearly tried his best to arrange her scenes as close together as possible.

Just as Sheng Nuan entered the makeup room, customer service spoke up: “Host, the female lead Su Nian is coming, and she’s coming for you.”

Sheng Nuan curled her lips.

Tsk…

A moment later, footsteps echoed behind her…

The only people in the makeup room were Sheng Nuan and the makeup artist. When Su Nian entered, the makeup artist immediately greeted her, “Miss Su, would you like a touch-up?”

Su Nian, dressed in a flowing white costume, smiled gently. “No need. I heard a friend is here, so I came to take a look.”

In the next instant, their eyes met through the mirror.

Su Nian remained silent, waiting for Sheng Nuan to speak first.

However, what she didn’t expect was that Sheng Nuan also said nothing, simply looking at her through the mirror with a vague smile.

The atmosphere in the makeup room grew awkward. The makeup artist found it strange but continued working without comment.

Sheng Nuan needed to have her hair styled, and time was tight.

Su Nian’s expression became slightly stiff. Since she had taken the initiative to come over, leaving without saying anything would be too weird.

She took a deep breath and smiled as she spoke, “Sheng Nuan, hello, I’m Su Nian… I’ve heard a lot about you, and today we finally meet.”

After speaking, she waited for Sheng Nuan to exchange polite pleasantries with her.

But instead…

“What have you heard about me?” Sheng Nuan looked at her.

Su Nian was caught off guard and felt a bit dumbfounded by this question.

Isn’t this just a polite remark? Why is she still pressing for an answer?

What had she heard? Was she supposed to say she’d heard Sheng Nuan was Fu Yunxi’s lover?

Forcing a smile, Su Nian said, “I’ve heard you’re really good at singing and dancing, and that you’re quite popular now.”

“That’s all?”

Sheng Nuan asked. “I’m also good at composing music. Haven’t you heard?”

Su Nian’s smile could hardly be kept in place, but she forced out, “Oh, I think I’ve heard something like that…”

Sheng Nuan was very happy. “Really? What did you hear?”

Su Nian: ……

Is she insane?

Is there anyone who communicates like this?

Suddenly, Su Nian said, “Ah, I just remembered I need to review my script. I won’t disturb you anymore. You go ahead and finish your makeup…”

Without waiting for Sheng Nuan to say more, Su Nian turned and quickly left.

As she walked out, Su Nian heard Sheng Nuan’s puzzled voice behind her.

“Huh, why leave halfway through a conversation?”

As she walked outside to the set, Su Nian suddenly snapped back to reality.

She hadn’t managed to say a single thing she originally planned…

She had planned to tell Sheng Nuan that she knew Fu Yunxi and had a deep connection with him, subtly hinting at how Fu Yunxi had confessed to her, and even mentioning how they looked somewhat alike…

But from the moment she entered to the moment she left, she hadn’t found a single opportunity to start the conversation!

In the makeup room, Sheng Nuan sat there as calm as ever, while customer service was almost dying of laughter.

It almost felt a little sorry for Su Nian.

The makeup artist glanced at Sheng Nuan with a hint of awe.

Faced with someone like Sheng Nuan, a master of social kung fu, most people wouldn’t know how to handle it…

Sheng Nuan was playing Zhu Yue, the Princess of Pingyang in ‘Chaotic Tang’. Although she held the title of princess, she was not the emperor’s daughter.

She was originally a second-rank commandery princess¹, but after her father died saving the emperor, she was granted the title of a first-rank princess². She grew up relying on the male lead, the seventh prince, Li Chengping, and they supported each other through life.

Li Chengping regarded her as a younger sister, but she secretly harbored romantic feelings for him… As a child, she once killed someone to protect the neglected Li Chengping. When she grew up, she committed numerous ruthless acts to help Li Chengping seize the throne.

But in front of Li Chengping, she always maintained a facade of innocence, kindness, and naivety… until Li Chengping met his destined woman, the divine doctor Mo Yunqian.

Mo Yunqian was played by Su Nian, and the male lead, Li Chengping, was played by Han Che… who was also in the group chat Su Nian was part of.

Han Che came from a wealthy family, one of those people whose fallback was inheriting billions if he didn’t succeed in the entertainment industry. In the original storyline, he was also the one who encouraged Gu Jincheng to pursue Sheng Nuan.

In other words, the male and female leads that Sheng Nuan would be facing in the ‘Chaotic Tang’ crew were both characters who harbored ill intentions toward her.

Four hours later, Sheng Nuan’s makeup was finally finished. She slowly raised her eyes and noticed in the mirror that both the makeup artist and the hairstylist who had arrived later were staring at her in a daze.

“So… so beautiful…” the makeup artist stammered before quickly closing her mouth.

She was afraid Sheng Nuan might ask her: What’s beautiful about me specifically?

Sheng Nuan had no interest in firing at innocent people. She smiled sweetly, thanked them, and then turned to head outside…

The set had just finished a scene when the lighting technician’s hand trembled, causing the light to flicker. Everyone’s eyes followed the beam of light to a woman in red, walking out with a faint smile.

For a moment, most people were stunned…

Dressed in an intricate, ornate palace dress with an exquisite, breathtaking face, she looked like a beauty who had stepped straight out of a painting, walking closer with an ethereal elegance that didn’t seem real.

Hou Xin’s eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed the walkie-talkie, saying, “Right now, let’s shoot the stills first.”

The cameras and equipment were quickly set up, and Sheng Nuan swiftly got into character based on Hou Xin’s directions…

Su Nian was resting on the sidelines, waiting for her scene, when she overheard a few crew members nearby quietly discussing.

“No wonder Director Hou hasn’t been scolding people these past few days. Looks like he finally found his Zhu Yue.”

“Exactly! For Director Hou, complex villains are often more important than the leads. By the way… where did they find this girl? Her beauty is killing me!”

“She’s killing me too, hahaha…”

“Her acting is probably good too. Director Hou isn’t someone who hires just for looks.”

“True, he’s been going on about needing a ‘crazy beauty’ for a while. I wonder if she’s the Zhu Yue he’s been looking for…”

“Han Che’s back. Get ready. The next scene is between him and Zhu Yue.”

“Got it, let’s work, let’s work…”

Han Che had already started filming earlier that morning, so his hair and makeup were already done. After having lunch with his assistant, he returned and learned that Sheng Nuan had arrived.

As he walked, his assistant helped adjust his costume. Across the set, Sheng Nuan had just finished shooting her stills and was listening to the action director’s instructions for the upcoming martial arts scene.

She had three scenes that evening: one action scene and two dialogue scenes… the action scene was with Han Che.

Typically, for newcomers like Sheng Nuan, action scenes would be scheduled later to give them time to practice. However, Sheng Nuan told Hou Xin that she had some martial arts training, so Hou Xin didn’t hesitate to move the scene forward.

The action director was a little worried at first. He demonstrated a few short moves for Sheng Nuan to try out, reassuring her that if it didn’t go well, they could edit it with the camera later.

To his surprise, Sheng Nuan replicated the moves flawlessly. Perhaps even more precisely than he had.

The action director’s eyes lit up. “Have you trained before?”

Sheng Nuan smiled. “A bit.”

The action director immediately felt relieved. “Then there’s no problem. Get ready, it’ll be your turn soon…”

From a distance, Han Che watched Sheng Nuan’s cheerful demeanor with mocking eyes.

Just a show of flashy, useless moves… Let’s see how long she can stay proud…

The next moment, Hou Xin’s voice rang out, “Alright, Li Chengping and Zhu Yue, are you ready?”

Han Che walked over.

Before Hou Xin could say anything, Han Che smiled and said, “Director, why don’t we start with the action scene? Zhu Yue just practiced, so it’s best to strike while the iron’s hot.”

Hou Xin had the same thought and immediately agreed.

Once Sheng Nuan was in position, her gaze met Han Che’s… and in his eyes, she saw mockery and coldness.

She knew this first backup of Su Nian’s wasn’t up to anything good.

But it doesn’t matter… soon enough, we’ll see who ends up crying…
