Cui Jie gave a few instructions and then hurriedly left.
The girl grinned and said, "Follow , everyone."
She couldn’t resist carefully examining the group. "I don’t know where Brother Jie found you all—each of you looks like a celestial being. You’re far too stunning to be playing extras; it’s really a waste of talent."
Gao Yuyue raised her eyebrows. "Big Sis, are you part of the film crew, or are you an actress?"
"I’m a makeup assistant. When the crew is short on actors, I’m the kind of extra who’s called to fill in wherever needed."
"Just now, you ntioned Sun Qianqian—is she the lead actress in this drama? Is her temper really that bad?"
Zhao Bingbing glanced nervously around and lowered her voice, saying, "You mustn’t say sothing like that in the crew, or you’ll bring trouble on yourself. Especially since you all are newcors without much of a background."
Gao Yuyue smiled sweetly. "Thank you for the advice, Sis. I’ll rember it."
The group arrived at the largest tent set up on the site. Zhao Bingbing lifted the flap and walked in, calling out, "Brother Xing, we’ve got work."
The tent was filled with row upon row of costus. Looking around, countless ornate costus stretched as far as the eye could see.
A man was trimming the edge of a costu. At the sound of movent, he looked up.
"Brother Xing, these newcors—find them a few outfits that match the temperant of noble young masters and ladies."
The man’s gaze landed on the group of young people. The boys were tall, well-proportioned, strikingly handso, with temperants ranging from indifferent to gentle. As for the girls, their sweetness and brilliance were distinct yet equally captivating, making them instantly morable.
When his gaze fell on the mysterious girl dressed in black, his interest deepened.
His instinct told him that beneath the black attire, there was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise waiting to be revealed.
The man sifted carefully through the opulent costus, finally choosing two round-neck robes: one in bamboo-green with ink-colored embroidered bamboo motifs for its fresh elegance, and another in sky-blue with cloud patterns, exuding an air of nobility.
He handed the robes to Liu Runxi and Gu Bichen, saying, "Awei, go and assist them."
Liu Runxi and Gu Bichen exchanged glances. The man didn’t give them any room to protest, pushing the costus into their arms. "Gentlen, stop hesitating—go change quickly! These outfits are personally designed by to perfectly suit your aura. I guarantee you’ll find nothing better for you anywhere in the world."
The two glanced at Shen You’an before finally taking the costus to the changing room, where a young man who looked like an assistant followed them inside.
"Here, take these two as well."
Li Xing handed two waist-length ru skirts to Gao Yuyue and Yan Lu. "These are yours. Bingbing, go and help them."
Gao Yuyue eagerly hugged her costu but then suddenly thought of sothing. She turned to look at Shen You’an. "What about An’an?"
Shen You’an coughed lightly. "I don’t need one."
"How could that be?"
Li Xing studied Shen You’an closely, increasingly captivated by the mystery of her aura. He asked, "Bingbing, what roles do these characters play in the script?"
Zhao Bingbing thought for a mont and replied, "They’re sons and daughters of high-ranking officials, and one of them is a Commandery Princess. But she gets assassinated by a martial world killer shortly afterward—her role is more of an NPC type."
These roles only appeared in one scene. However, Director Huang was a perfectionist, and even background roles needed to be taken seriously. That’s why a group of specially invited actors had been chosen for their exceptional appearance and presence. Unfortunately, they canceled last minute.
Li Xing snapped his fingers. "Perfect. The Commandery Princess is you. Yuanyuan, bring out the Butterfly Water Lily Dress."
A young woman ca over pushing a rack of clothing, from which hung an outfit sealed in a dust-proof bag.
Li Xing removed the dust cover, revealing a dazzling dress that nearly blinded everyone with its brilliance.
Yan Lu and Gao Yuyue had seen plenty of exquisite costus before, but even they couldn’t help exclaiming in awe at the sheer splendor of this dress.
Li Xing looked proudly at Shen You’an, only to discover that her gaze remained utterly unperturbed. She gave the dress a brief, indifferent glance before shifting her attention elsewhere.
Li Xing: ...
Seriously? Can’t you at least pretend to be impressed?
This kind of aloofness toward such finery was precisely what fit the regal deanor of a Commandery Princess. It was as though this role had been tailor-made for her.
"Try on this outfit. If it doesn’t fit, I can adjust it on the spot."
Gao Yuyue looked down at her own outfit, suddenly feeling that it no longer held any charm.
Shen You’an said, "I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m only here accompanying my friends. I don’t intend to audition."
Zhao Bingbing and Li Xing couldn’t help but be enchanted by her voice. If her voice was this captivating, her appearance must be beyond stunning.
Gao Yuyue nudged her lightly. "An’an, you’re already here—just give it a try."
