“You forgot what your sister said?” Sister Wen had no choice but to invoke Lai Shengxia: “The original novel of ‘Original Sin’ has a very high reputation, and although ‘Ying Xuaner’ is an antagonist, the character is distinct and well-liked by readers.”
Lai Yuaner hesitated in her heart.
She certainly hadn’t forgotten her sister’s instructions before she went abroad.
Her sister had told her, playing Ying Xuaner would broaden her range as an actress.
Moreover, as long as the movie was shot according to the original novel, it was bound to be a hit once released. Even if she played the second female lead, her topicality and exposure would definitely increase.
Seeing her hesitancy, Sister Wen added, “The producers have called me four or five times and even wanted to take me out for dinner. President Fang from Ningmang Media said that if you agree, you can name your own price. All this just goes to show how much they value you; you are their ideal choice for Ying Xuaner.”
Upon hearing this, Lai Yuaner couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.
Sister Wen didn’t need to say it; she was well aware that in the domestic entertainment industry, which female artist under 20 could surpass her?
“Since both you and my sister said so…” Lai Yuaner reluctantly pursed her lips: “Then I’ll take the role. But let’s make it clear, I have to read through the script and make sure there are no problems before we shoot.”
Sister Wen beamed with joy: “As long as you, the little ancestor, agree, everything else can be negotiated.”
Before she finished speaking, the cellphone rang.
“What’s this about now?” Sister Wen pressed the answer button.

Then, her face grew uglier by the minute: “What do you mean they’ve found a more suitable Ying Xuaner?”
“Weren’t we agreed that Yuanyuan is the best choice for Ying Xuaner? What’s this now?” Sister Wen stood up from the sofa, crossing her arms and pacing back and forth in the bedroom. Whatever the person on the other end said, her tone grew increasingly firm: “What do you mean by saying we haven’t replied in a long time? If they came asking for Yuanyuan to play the role, they should at least give us time to consider.”
After Sister Wen hung up, Lai Yuaner couldn’t wait to ask: “What happened?”
“…I have a friend who works at Ningmang.” Sister Wen hesitated for a moment but finally revealed the truth: “She said Ruan Jiang has found someone else to play Ying Xuaner.”
Upon hearing this, Lai Yuaner’s mind went ‘boom’.
Not wanting to play Ying Xuaner herself and being cut out from the role were entirely different matters!
And—
She had clearly already agreed to take the part!
“Who is it?” Lai Yuaner pinched her palm with her fingernails: “Who took the role of Ying Xuaner?”
Seeing that the little ancestor was already displeased, Sister Wen sighed to herself.
‘Original Sin’ was Ningmang Media’s big IP this year. The person in charge of Ningmang contacted her a couple of months ago, the chief executive himself, hoping that Lai Yuaner would play “Ying Xuaner” and they offered very generous terms.
Lai Yuaner found out she was to play the second female lead and was very smug about it, but after reading the novel and discovering that “Ying Xuaner” was a psychologically twisted murderer, she adamantly refused to take part in this big production.
Now that the little ancestor had finally nodded in agreement, the producers were going back on their word.
“Who is playing Ying Xuaner in the end? Li Si or Ye Zhenzhen?” Lai Yuaner pressed on, determined to get an answer.
To her, it was already a humiliation.
Whether it was Li Si or Ye Zhenzhen, who could outshine her in popularity?
What right did they have to steal her role!
“Neither of them,” Sister Wen truthfully said: “Apparently, this morning, Director Ruan Jiang chose someone from a screen test at Capital Movie Academy.”
“They’re planning to use a newcomer?”
“I’m afraid so.”
Lai Yuaner scoffed with disdain: “Then let them wait for the box office bomb!”
