“Has the newcomer Tang Shu arrived yet?”

“She has, she’s next.”

Director Xie nodded imperceptibly, his thoughts still immersed in the costume inspection photos he had just reviewed.

He felt a surge of inspiration, considering the possibility of adding a new stratagem to the plot, when he heard a collective gasp from his surroundings, followed by a sudden silence.

“What’s wrong?”

Xie Yunfeng lifted his head to look around and saw all of his capable subordinates staring with dumbfounded expressions, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable, some even letting their cups drip water.

He arched his eyebrows, rather surprised.

The people around him were veterans, unphased by much. What could possibly make them gape as though they had just seen an alien?

Driven by intense curiosity, Director Xie followed everyone’s gaze and saw a woman dressed in a tight black ancient costume under the spotlight.

She exuded an aura of deadly seriousness, her small face expressionless, and her black eyes, like an abyss, were filled with cool detachment.

This was a true ancient!

Indeed, everyone had the same incongruous thought arise in their minds.

The ancient assassin’s slightly snug outfit clung to Tang Shu’s frame, accentuating her slender physique. Her makeup was minimal, yet her features were strikingly three-dimensional. The dagger in her hand added a sharp edge to her appearance.

It was as if she had parachuted down from an ancient battlefield, unstoppable in her descent.

Tang Shu hadn’t heard anyone speak for a while, so she looked up slightly in the direction of the photographer.

“Shall we start now?”

Just one look seemed to carry extraordinary penetrative power.

“Ye… Yes, of course!”

The photographer stammered out a response under Tang Shu’s indifferent gaze, feeling as though there was nowhere to hide.

Realizing he’d reflexively given consent when it wasn’t his place to do so, he remembered the big boss was still by his side.

“Director Xie?”

You are the one in charge, won’t you say something?

The shock Xie Yunfeng felt was considerable; his eyes lingered thoughtfully on Tang Shu under the spotlight, his expression becoming odd.

“Director… Director Xie?”

“Begin filming.”

Xie Yunfeng set aside the documents in his hand, crossed his arms over his chest, and watched the scene unfold with a seeming multitude of thoughts flashing in his eyes.

This Tang Shu indeed hadn’t disappointed him.

Just… was her presence too overpowering?

Something seemed a bit off.

Indeed, something was off, and Sister Woon, the staff member in charge of costumes and props, felt it too.

“Is this really the outfit I designed? Why does it feel so strange!”

“Sister Woon, what do you think is strange about it?”

“I’m not… Ah! I know!”

The staff member known as Sister Woon suddenly revealed an expression of epiphany, her eyes burning with fervor.

“That’s it, this is exactly the feel we need!”

“What exactly is going on, can you please explain? You’re killing me with suspense here!”

“The cuffs, waist, and hem of this outfit have been altered, it seems to have been tightened a bit, which really brings out the character’s spirit!”

“Changed…? Who was so bold as to dare alter Sister Woon’s clothing design?”

The colleague beside her was astonished, and Sister Woon was even more so.

However, her current astonishment wasn’t about who was bold enough to make alterations without her permission, but because the changes were more perfect than she could have imagined!

“When I was designing this outfit, I always felt something was slightly off. It turns out it was due to how these parts were finished…”

Sister Woon’s eyes shone brightly. Offhand, she stared at Tang Shu, speaking with conviction, almost like she was ready to jot down every burst of creative inspiration.

“Did our team get a killer costume designer or something? How come Director Xie never mentioned it?”

“If you haven’t heard about it, then I definitely haven’t either.”

“Nope, I’ve got to talk to that person later, I feel inspiration coming on!”

At this moment, Tang Shu, who was on everyone’s minds, stood under the spotlight, posing for the shoot as directed by the action guide, without a hint of awkwardness.

In fact, some movements were even more professional than those of the instructors.

“That’s just… really odd!”

“Being good-looking sure is great, why do I think Tang Shu’s moves have more charm?”

“Brother Zhang just got outright outclassed!”

“Waaah, why do I feel like Brother Zhang is just a background extra when these two stand together???”

“Not going to lie, I feel the same.”

“Just don’t let Director Zhang hear you say that, he doesn’t care what you think, he only cares what he thinks.”

However…

Brother Zhang, standing beside the spotlight, was also questioning his life.

What’s up with this girl, he’d only given a rough description of the movement, and she’d already struck the pose without him having to demonstrate?

And it was spot on!

So spot on that he felt too embarrassed to show how it’s done himself!

“Miss Tang… you’re not just good at throwing darts, are you?”

If before today he’d thought that Director Xie had chosen Tang Shu because of the unapproachable aura she exuded in “Journey Together”, he now completely changed his mind.

This was raw jade, a martial artist with great potential!

Director Xie must have known about Tang Shu’s talents in advance, which is why he passed over fifty other young leading actresses to personally select her.

Definitely!

As the photographer pressed the shutter, Tang Shu nodded at this modern master of martial arts.

“Trivial skills, not worth mentioning.”

“…”

There was no need for such modesty, really.

After this set of photos was shot, the martial arts director went off to a corner to sulk.

On another weekend, while Tang Shu was attending the kickoff ceremony with the crew, people had already begun receiving parcels mailed from Give and Take.

And under this microblog about medicinal knowledge, the comments section was getting livelier.

[I received the blogger’s gift and am unboxing now, I’m so excited~~~~]

[Same here, the courier just called me, I’m opening it the second I get home——]

[What the hell, you two above, are you trying to incite jealousy? Picking on us because we don’t have one——]

[Life is so unfair. As a fellow fan and friend of the blogger, are you really going to leave us just watching?]

[No no no, I swear, you won’t even get to watch, hhhhh——]

“…”

[!!!]

[Are you the devil? Where’s your conscience!]

[Strongly suggest that the blogger bans these ten people and never collaborate with them again!]

[I’m unboxing! Wow, the small porcelain bottle the blogger sent is so pretty~~~~~]

[What, a small porcelain bottle? Ah, let me see, I’m dying of curiosity!]

While people were frolicking in the comments section, someone had already opened their parcel and taken out a small porcelain bottle the size of a snuff bottle from the beautifully packaged shock-proof container.
