Chapter 129: Being Targeted

When Mo Li returned to her room, she noticed An Wan was already there, waiting at the door.

An Wan came to discuss the script with her. “I think my role this time is quite challenging.” An Wan smiled at Mo Li.

From reading the script, Mo Li knew that An Wan would play Ren Zhixue, the eldest princess of Nan Jiang, and the male lead’s eldest sister. She shared a very close bond with Ren Yanyi. To protect his brother’s life, she sacrificed herself to marry faraway to the Xu Family at Bei Liang.

Due to jealousy and xenophobia, the concubines at Xu Family spread rumours that Ren Zhixue would bring bad luck to the master of the house. She was labelled as a black widow and was ostracized by everyone. When Ren Yanyi brought his army into Bei Liang, he slaughtered everyone who had once said a bad word about his sister, earning the ire of all the important forces at Bei Liang.

“I actually think Sister An Wan is perfect for this role.” Mo Li honestly thought An Wan’s presence suited the picture of Ren Zhixue perfectly.

An Wan sighed, “The part that really moved me is that Ren Zhixue was sold to a merchant when she was 13. By accident, she met a young Taoist priest when her master was visiting a temple at Wu Dang Mountain. It was there that her family history was unraveled. Ren Zhixue was the reincarnation of the fairy of the ninth heaven; while the priest was the reincarnation of the immortal emperor. In their previous life, the emperor had disappointed the fairy and made her wait for him for 7000 years. So in this life, the priest was willing to do anything for her. Eventually they had their happy ending and they returned to heaven.”

An Wan was touched by the romance in the story that her eyes were tearing up.

However, Mo Li was completely unaffected. This was complete boulder-dash to her. She believed in science and not mythology.

Speaking of, Mo Li played the 3rd female lead in the story, she had no actual name but she was given a pet name by the female lead called Ling Xian Er. She was captured by a group of slavers and she was saved by the princess when she was young. Then, she managed to complete many great feats and was appointed by the King of Bei Jiang to be the personal guard of the princess, Yan Xingxian. Through the princess, Ling Xian Er became known throughout Bei Jiang and people referred to her as the fighting phoenix.

Since Ling Xian Er practically grew up with the princess, they had a very good relationship. After Bei Jiang fell and the princess was forced to marry into the Ren Family, Ling Xian Er was still willing to follow Yan Xingxian. She became the female lead’s serving maid but she never forget about avenging her country and family.

Mo Li’s character would do anything for the female lead. However, Mo Li would only play the earlier half of the character. Namely, Mo Li would only play Ling Xian Er in her teen. According to the script, there was an accident that separated Ling Xian Er and Yan Xingxian around the middle of the series. When the two were reunited, Ling Xian Er was already an adult female so another actor would be playing her.

…

“Who is it?!” Mo Li suddenly stood up and rushed to the door. Mo Li’s intuition told her that there was someone standing outside her door and they were there with a nefarious purpose.

An Wan walked to Mo Li’s side and looked outside, there was no one there. “Sister Mo Li, maybe you’re just tensed.” Since this was Mo Li’s first big production, An Wan believed Mo Li was being nervous.

Mo Li though was certain that was not the case! Mo Li looked down the corridor. She was certain that there was someone here earlier. Someone was targeting her and she needed to be careful.

After saying goodbye to An Wan, Mo Li took out her phone to call her grandparents to update them on her situation.

Of course, she wouldn’t worry them for no reason. Mo Li only told them about the interesting things at the set. She didn’t tell them that she had been targeted!
