Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiang Quqi: [The truth is the truth. I couldn’t be bothered to say more, but since you’ve already harmed an innocent person, I’ll give you a simple explanation. First, Mr Lu, thank you very much for your investment; to be able to choose actors for the roles myself is a very good feeling! And thank you very much to my partner, Miss An!
[Lastly, let’s talk about my casting criteria: 1. Capability! 2. Just capability! 3. Nothing but capability!

[Of course, acting skills, temperament and appearance are all part of one’s capability. Not convinced? Bite me.

[You don’t have to buy it. I’m just shooting the drama with a clear conscience!]
He even added an arrogant emoji at the end. He had a completely uncaring attitude, and could be said to be quite overbearing.
Everyone was in disbelief, and hurriedly wanted to start arguing, but discovered that Xiang Quqi had also uploaded a video. The caption for the video was even more arrogant: “You’ll change your mind after seeing this.”
Everyone was furious. They clicked open the video and started watching.
They were thinking: No way! Even if I watch it a thousand or ten thousand times, I won’t change my mind! Let’s give it a brief look and see what trash you can send out.
The main point was that it was just a brief look!
However, the moment they clicked open the video, everyone was instantly stunned!
Amazing!
Beautiful, too beautiful!
Utterly stunning and indescribably beautiful.
Pink peach blossom petals danced in the air~
In the light shower of blossoms, the beauty was even more breathtaking!
What greeted their eyes was a girl dressed in a dark blue traditional outfit.
She wore an exquisite traditional wig, the hair coiled up in a bun. She had a slender figure, and she looked noble and beautiful.
Her fair face was like porcelain white jade, her bright black eyes shone with a shrewd light, and her eyelashes were very long; just one glance at her, and it was as if their souls were being sucked out!
Many people couldn’t help but feel their hearts thump. They couldn’t help but want to keep looking, but the scene changed!
The girl, who was wearing a garment that had been patched together from various things, was suddenly pushed to the ground. With her frail body and head lowered, she cut a sorry figure.
But there was no timidity or even fear in those fox-like eyes. She clenched her fists over the dry branches on the ground. Suddenly, she got up and threw the girl who had pushed her over her shoulder!
“Wow!”
Many people couldn’t help but exclaim and applaud!
The girl enunciated each word in a clear voice, “Although I, Luo Mingshi, am poor, I’m definitely not someone who is easy to bully! Whoever dares provoke me and my grandmother, try it!”
There was a cracking sound as she broke two dry branches as thick as a thumb each.
The dry branches pricked her skin and blood flowed out, but the girl’s ash-covered face was calm and resolute!
Those eyes filled with tenacity seemed to burn with raging flames, and everyone around her was cowed! They were scared!
The girl ignored those people. She carefully helped up the old lady on the side and left.
Such a thin and lonely figure nevertheless carried an unyielding air. She didn’t cower at all just because she was poor, and even charged forward bravely, giving off a feeling —
It was precisely because she was poor and didn’t have anything that she could be fearless and calm!
In the video, the image switched back to that beautiful girl in the dark blue outfit.
The girl sat in a royal chair carved with intricate patterns. She elegantly picked up a wine glass from the table with slender fingers, and swirled it gently.
She looked pensively at the camera with shrewd eyes, and said in a low and gentle voice, “Excuse me, can I act as Luo Mingshi?”
