She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 88: The Innocent Superstar Is Not to Be Messed With 38
[Rumor has it, Brother Shi and Chenchen are going to act in a melodrama.]
[Ah, these two are getting crazier and crazier. Last time, one of them played a doctor and the other played a psychiatric patient. I thought they were both psychiatric patients or switching identities with all sorts of twists and turns, but it turned out they were both sane and just pretending with each other. I still haven’t recovered from it. It was too intense. Even if they’re not crazy, I’m a bit insane now.]
[Crazy is good, haha. I like anything abnormal.]
[A melodrama, huh? I like it even more since it’s them acting. Speaking of which, they haven’t played a couple together yet, have they? Any drama they cooperate on has entertaining behind-the-scenes footage. Those damn directors always use the behind-the-scenes to fool us, and when it airs, we find out there’s no romance between the two in the show! Yet every time I fall for it, thinking they’re finally playing an on-screen couple. I wish those damn directors end up with noodles without seasoning packets and forks.]
[Hahaha, this is killing me.]
[Aww, I can’t wait!]
Ah Chen and Shi Wei have been on set for several days already.
The plot in the past few days has been fairly normal.
This drama tells the story of the male lead climbing to the top for revenge, not planning to deal with his enemies directly, but wanting to slowly torment them instead. The enemy’s most beloved daughter steps in to atone for her father’s sins, tagging along with him, allowing him to tease and torment them. Soon, he discovers that the enemy’s daughter is actually the white moonlight he’s hidden deep in his heart, and things gradually spiral out of control.
Today, the atmosphere between the protagonists starts to get tense.
"Weren’t you supposed to atone for your father?" Shi Wei’s character, the male lead, sneers, pressing her into the corner, his figure closing in as a cold aura gradually envelops Ah Chen’s character, the female lead, completely.
She does not resist, because her father really did excessive things back then, causing the other’s family to be destroyed.
He tilts her chin closer and closer, then bites her lip, trapping her tightly in his embrace. At this moment, he is greedy, wanting to completely possess her.
But then he quickly regains his senses, casually pushing her away with disdain all over his face.
"Ha, filthy thing."
He turns and leaves, but the camera keeps following his face. His gloomy eyes hide a crazed possession and love buried deep within, but soon it is enveloped by intense hatred.
She is the enemy’s daughter.
He is only torturing her and his enemy, he cannot have any feelings for her.
He must make both father and daughter suffer, only then can he feel at peace.
After this segment ends, Shi Wei, who originally left ruthlessly, takes a few long strides back faster than anyone else, carefully scooping Ah Chen into his arms, kissing her cheek seriously, "I am the filthy thing."
The rest of the crew: Hiss... Are we part of your play?
From now on, anyone who calls Shi Wei an old cadre will get toothaches remembering these scenes.
Scenes like this often come up next.
The female protagonist is willing to atone and does not resist.
The male protagonist who troubles the female protagonist’s father and humiliates her, seeming to get revenge, actually falls step by step into a web of his own making, wanting never to escape. His plan gradually derails, and he slowly loses control.
Bringing the female protagonist back, he originally intended to use this to tease father and daughter, making them suffer greatly.
From the start, he never intended to let them go.
Finally, he used the pretense of revenge to possess her.
Having obtained the person deep in his heart, he wants more, but he cannot let go of the hatred. It was her biological father who destroyed his family.
How can he forget?
She is deeply embedded in his heart, inseparable.
He wants her, to have her always, but she cannot cancel out his hatred for her father.
He begins a new plan, having her greedily, being more and more gentle with her, gifting her, making her laugh, pulling her step by step into his web of affection from which she cannot escape.
Then, with no mercy, he seeks revenge on the other side.
As long as she never escapes the web, they can live happily ever after.
But she eventually finds out, how could such a thing be hidden?
The former gentleness and happiness turned into bubbles, there are no longer smiles on her face.
Nor is there any shadow of him in her eyes.
"Why won’t you look at me?"
"Look at me."
"I don’t like your eyes without me in them."
She, like a lifeless doll, allowed him to manipulate her. This was not what he wanted. He wanted to see her smile, smiling at him, whispering his name affectionately in his ear.
He will not let her go.
Never will.
He thought they would continue in a cold war, but maybe because he tried hard enough, she finally responds to him again. The two return to their former sweetness.
That day, they sat by the seaside, the female protagonist leaning in his arms: "I understand your pain."
"So..."
Listening to her, at that moment a pain stabbed his chest, looking down he saw her driving a dagger into where his heart was.
Her voice, desolate and bitter, sounded: "I will make the same choice as you."
He did not resist, did not struggle, yet his arms held her tightly, his body with its last strength leaned on her, whispering by her ear: "I’ve been waiting for this day."
"I like you so much."
She was in tears, touching his lips gently: "Me too."
The scene freezes on the two falling under the sunset, tragically and mournfully.
"Cut!" Yang Meimei shouted, eyes red but full of excitement, melodramatic as it was, she reveled in it.
Shi Wei helped Ah Chen up, and the two of them looked at the sunset together, the scene more beautiful than before.
Yang Meimei’s eyes lit up, quickly wanting to use this scene for publicity, misleading the audience that this was the ending, hehe.
Will she get scolded? She’s been scolded enough, this won’t make a difference.
She quickly posted something on Weibo.
Yang Meimei: Filming wrapped! Such a fitting pair, of course, it’s a happy ending. [Picture]
[Holy crap, Yang’s melodrama is finished!]
[A happy ending? Do you believe it?]
[Heard it’s a melodrama, surely it’s a happy ending now. Nowadays melodramas all have happy endings.]
[True, there are rarely unhappy endings these days.]
[Probably terribly tragic in the middle, as long as the ending is perfect.]
Yang Meimei chuckled at her phone, sorry, it’s tragic from start to finish, with a sprinkle of bittersweet moments, a perfect ending? Impossible.
What she meant was that the couple is a good match and should have a happy ending. She never explicitly said that the drama’s ending was going to be good, hmph!
"Teacher Shi, you look like you weren’t acting out of control," Ah Chen suddenly said.
Shi Wei’s heart tightened, though he’s usually quick to disengage, but in this drama, he was often out of control. Yet he managed to control it, always able to detach in time, because he really couldn’t bear to hurt her even a little.
"Did I scare you?" Shi Wei asked, forgetting that she’s actually quite brave.
"Let’s not do this kind again next time," he said.
Ah Chen wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning against him, "Seeing Teacher Shi like that occasionally is rather interesting, not scary at all. When I want to see it, you can act it out for me at home. After all, it’s not real, right?"
Shi Wei felt like he was going to lose control again, hearing her say that, how could he stand it?
He couldn’t refuse.
"Okay."
If she wants to see it, he’ll act it out.
The melodrama aired soon, leaving the audience tortured to no end, but occasionally sprinkling some sweetness made them squeal for days. They kept hoping that the ending would reveal their hatred was a misunderstanding or something, but instead, they saw the scene under the setting sun and were tortured to their wit’s end.
After watching, Yang Meimei’s Weibo was stormed.
[Yang, you melodramatic liar! I believed your nonsense.]
[You damned liar, playing us loyal fans!]
Yang Meimei: Just tell me if it was good to watch, if they were exciting. Hmph, without me, you wouldn’t have seen such a scene?
[Damn, no words, it was good, my heart pounded, exciting too, but hatred wasn’t a misunderstanding, the ending tortured me senseless. Where’s your address, this won’t end.]
Yang Meimei: Just tell me if you still want to watch, if you want to see more of them, be polite to me.
[Respected Director Yang, do you have any new projects?]
Yang Meimei: Hmph, if there’s something suitable, they’ll cooperate for sure. We’re all the same, but I know best how to shoot them, just wait, I promise to leave you satisfied.
[Director Yang, hurry up, get more out while they’re young.]
[Beautiful and noble Director Yang, we’re waiting for you.]
[Putting on airs, but it works, Director Yang exudes more director vibes like this.]
