Liu Qian'er sat on a stool, chin resting in her hand, letting out a depressed sigh. She had originally planned to sneak out to get some fresh air for her eighteenth birthday, but who would have thought she would be surrounded by so many people that the crowd was impenetrable? She had almost died under the stampede of feet.
"If I catch you sneaking out again, you'll be sorry." Her manager, a woman over forty, stood with hands on her hips, her expression stern as if she were about to swallow her whole.
"Can't I even go for a stroll on my eighteenth birthday? Manager, you don't have to be so heartless to me, do you?" Liu Qian'er protested with a pout. She had only gone out to get some air and fulfill a tiny wish.
Hearing this, the manager didn't feel mollified; instead, she grew even angrier. "What do you mean 'don't have to be'? Didn't I tell you yesterday that the company would be throwing a party for you today? And yet you still ran off everywhere. You're truly being immature."
Hearing this, Liu Qian'er could only lower her head aggrievedly and say softly, "I understand. I won't do it again, okay?"
"Alright, alright. I'm not scolding you, I'm worrying about you, do you understand? If you had run out by yourself and something happened, what would we have done?" Seeing that Liu Qian'er was sincerely repentant, the manager turned around and smiled easily.
Liu Qian'er pursed her lips into a smile, stood up, and said, "I know, I know. You're always so naggy, just like my mom! Don't we have a scene this afternoon? If I don't get my styling done now, I won't make it in time. I'm going to change first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Qian'er." After speaking, the manager barked at the costume designer and makeup artist, "Hurry up and do Qian'er's styling! Make it quick, not a single second can be wasted."
Inside the dressing room.
"Qian'er, you look truly beautiful in this red bridal gown. So pretty!" After the costume designer finished adjusting the complex red wedding dress for Liu Qian'er, she looked at her with a solemn expression and sighed in admiration.
Liu Qian'er touched the clothes and tugged at the headpiece, saying dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean pretty? What is this thing on my head? It's heavy as lead. If ancient concubines dressed like this every day, wouldn't they die of exhaustion?"
The makeup artist and costume designer covered their mouths and giggled. Liu Qian'er was the most unique female star they had ever met. Although she was only eighteen, she was already incredibly famous! Moreover, she never put on airs and never made things difficult for them. Therefore, they liked this straightforward girl very much!
Everyone held their scripts, preparing to review them one last time before filming began.
At this moment, the director slipped over, saying with a grin, "Listen up, everyone. Today is the final episode of *The Peerless Imperial Concubine*. Everyone, please give it your best performance."
Liu Qian'er kept her head down and remained silent. She couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the director; she would rather focus on her script and act well later!
Strangely enough, many shots were completed in one take today, whereas normally, it was inevitable to have several NGs.
Liu Qian'er gave a large stretch. There was only one shot left before wrapping up, and she was almost free! The thought of being able to go home and eat the dumplings her mother cooked in a little while made her incredibly excited.
Soon, everything was ready, and the director shouted, "Action!"
Liu Qian'er sat on the edge of the bed, her head covered by a red veil, her hands folded on her lap, her body slightly tilted. She looked extremely evocative.
Suddenly, a streak of red light pierced through the red veil, shining directly into Liu Qian'er's eyes. Instantly, she felt a throbbing pain in her eyes, and her headache intensified, becoming extremely uncomfortable. Soon, her eyes could no longer hold out, and they slowly closed.
Liu Qian'er pressed her hands against her temples. Her head hurt so much, and her eyelids felt so heavy. She struggled to open her eyes, only to see a vast expanse of crimson. Her head was still covered by the red veil. She slowly sat up on the edge of the bed. Since she hadn't heard the director speak, she sat there obediently!
At that moment, the door opened with a 'creak.'
Liu Qian'er stared fixedly at the floor, and a pair of embroidered shoes entered her field of vision.
A soft voice drifted in: "Your Ladyship, I'm afraid the Emperor will not be coming tonight!"
Liu Qian'er smiled slightly, adjusted her tone, and said softly, "Hanyu, wouldn't it be better if he didn't come?"
"Your Ladyship," Hanyu called out softly.
Liu Qian'er lifted the veil from her head, stood up, and said, "Hanyu, I shouldn't have married into this imperial palace in the first place, should I?"
Looking at Liu Qian'er, Hanyu froze, her face filled with confusion, surprise, and disbelief. Was the person before her really Liu Qian'er? Looking closely, there was a shadow of Li Qian'er in her features. After a moment of being stunned, she finally said, "Your Ladyship, you... is this you? How... how did you become so beautiful?"
Liu Qian'er was startled. What was going on? Why were the lines changed? She scanned the room, but she saw no director, no cameras, and nothing related to filming.
Liu Qian'er patted Hanyu's shoulder and said seriously, "Hey! Lin Si, what's going on? Where's the director?"
Hanyu stared at Liu Qian'er and asked in confusion, "Your Ladyship, what's wrong? I am not some Lin Si, I am Hanyu!"
Liu Qian'er chuckled and sat back on the edge of the bed, saying, "Lin Si, you don't need to act! The director isn't even here; you've never been this professional before." This Lin Si usually didn't even want to play her maid during filming and always maintained a cold demeanor. How could she change so much today?
Hanyu didn't understand what Liu Qian'er meant, nor did she know how she had become so beautiful. She also didn't know why she was being called Lin Si. She asked anxiously, "Your Ladyship, what is wrong? Do you not recognize Hanyu anymore?"
Looking at Hanyu's expression, it didn't seem like she was acting! What on earth was happening? She walked to the door and opened it. Upon looking, there was no sign of the director at all; instead, the area was filled with guards. Counting them, there were actually thirty or forty! What was going on? Where did the director go without even notifying her, and why were there so many guards standing outside? In her memory, there was no such scene!
Seeing Liu Qian'er standing blankly at the door, Hanyu stepped forward and said, "Your Ladyship, what is wrong?"
Being called "Your Ladyship" by Hanyu made Liu Qian'er feel very uneasy. She said somewhat angrily, "What 'Your Ladyship'? Stop calling me that. Lin Si, I am Liu Qian'er!" This Lin Si, even if she was joking, shouldn't take it this far!
Hanyu smiled. She naturally knew she was Liu Qian'er; she just didn't understand how she had changed so much in just a short moment. "Your Ladyship, of course Hanyu knows who you are. You are Liu Qian'er, the second daughter of the Prime Minister, and the concubine of the current Emperor!"
Liu Qian'er was momentarily stunned. This person looked exactly like Lin Si, but she was definitely not Lin Si. "Who... who are you?"
Hanyu replied respectfully, "Your Ladyship, do you not recognize Hanyu? I am your personal maid, Hanyu!"
Personal maid? Liu Qian'er was momentarily stunned, her face full of confusion. "Hanyu, what era is this? What country is this?" Liu Qian'er grabbed Hanyu's arm and shook her incessantly.
"Your Ladyship, this is the eighty-second year of Yuehan, the Yuehan Dynasty!"
Liu Qian'er felt a 'boom' in her head.
Heavens, she had traveled through time?
She had traveled through time? She had actually traveled through time? To an era that was not recorded in history!
Seeing Liu Qian'er's strange expression, Hanyu hurriedly asked, "Your Ladyship, Your Ladyship, are you alright?"
Liu Qian'er's mind went blank. She stumbled toward the bed and collapsed onto it, saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine!"
Hanyu walked to the bedside, covered Liu Qian'er with a quilt, and said softly, "Your Ladyship, it is good that you are fine. Then please rest well. I shall take my leave!"
Liu Qian'er kept her eyes tightly shut and nodded, saying, "Mm."
Hanyu left the room, closing the door gently.
Liu Qian'er tossed and turned on the bed. She didn't know how she had traveled through time. She had been filming just fine; how could she have traveled through time? It was truly strange.
Can filming make a person travel through time?
This world is truly unbelievable!
