Kate, currently starring in a drama which told the story of the female lead reuniting with the male lead abroad and their rapid rekindling of emotions.
Having previously been forcibly separated and lost her family, she prepared to seduce her ex-husband for revenge. Intentionally making a suicide gesture near a bridge, she was confident that the male lead would come to her rescue.
The male lead, in order to increase intimacy in the scenes, collaborated with the scriptwriter after this incident.
After returning to Chulae with him, the two quickly remarried.
The filming location was also moved from Metshire to Onistead, a place Kate had reluctantly come to but had no choice.
With three days of continuous shooting, she went straight to the set as soon as she got off the plane, not even taking a sip of water.
Today’s shoot involved the undercover niece-in-law coming to visit her under the guise of irony, and it took place in the film studio across from the Weaver mansion.
Kate glanced in that direction from afar, quickly retracting her gaze and striding into the set.
As the storm subsided, the bright reflection of snow inside the house seemed even colder.
The role played by Kate lazily stretched, setting down the needlework in her hand. The maid in a red dress outside opened the curtain and exclaimed, “Madam Larissa, Madam Lilly is here to see you!”
“Oh, please bring her in quickly.”
She cutely and lovably crawled off the bed, put on her shoes, and took a quick look in the mirror. Apart from the two braids, everything else seemed appropriate for this era.
After some time, a young woman dressed in a floral long dress accompanied by a few maids arrived and greeted Larissa.
She slightly bent her knees, quietly scrutinizing Larissa on the couch, who looked much younger than she expected.
“Let us dispense with the formalities, please take a seat!”
Larissa’s voice was tender and lovely. As Lilly sat down, the maid beside her handed over a pair of embroidered shoes. “My embroidery skills are poor, Lilly, I hope you like it.”
The maid handed the shoes to Madam Lilly. They were adorned with exquisite and elegant decorations, encrusted with many precious jewels, and quite expensive.
“Thanks, I really like them.”
Soon, the well-trained actor placed the prepared fake food on the table. Although these dishes looked and smelled delightful, they were all props made of silicone.
The actors had to elegantly prop up the bowls with their pinky fingers and pretend to enjoy the food gracefully.
The camera then cut to the clay dolls and paper windmills on the nearby desk, all items that children would play with.
Just now passing by and caught a glimpse, the paper was visibly damaged, with two kinds of fonts. Yet in the gaps, there was an imitation font, awkwardly learned, reflecting only a beginner’s level of skill…
Knowledgeable and versatile, the masterful and deeply scheming master actually married an ignorant woman.
In Lilly’s mind, there was a considerable disdain. It seemed that Larissa was indeed as rumored outside: a young woman with seductive charm, relying on her beauty to climb the social ladder.
Larissa was unaware of Lilly’s judgment, and instead generously presented a set of ruby jewelry to the latter.
The next scene unfolded in a pavilion, with the two of them playing chess under the eaves. One in a pink long dress, the other in a light green one, creating a harmonious and beautiful image.
“Wait… I regret it again, I’ll make the move here!”
“Madam, it’s the sixth time.”
They had agreed only three times.
Larissa blushed, even though they were of similar age. But as the elder, it was quite impolite to behave this way in front of a junior.
Just as she felt embarrassed, the maid approached, bent down and said, “Madam Larissa, Master Rogelio has returned.”
“I know.” Impatiently waving her hand, gritting her teeth, she was deliberating where to place a piece.
“Larissa, how about we continue tomorrow?”
Rogelio seemed to have entered the courtyard and was heading towards them.
“No, as they say, no pain no gain. I understand the importance of perseverance.” Kate, who portrayed the lead role Larissa, firmly shook her head to decline, about to make a move.
A warm hand held hers, “snap”, the piece landed on the board. A magnetic and deep voice sounded behind her.
“With your meager skills, don’t embarrass yourself in front of our niece-in-law. Also, pointless perseverance is simply foolish. There’s no need to thank me, after all, we are husband and wife!”
Lilly looked puzzled at the chessboard. Clearly, she had the upper hand, but one move completely changed the situation.
Rogelio was truly worthy of being a scion of a scholarly family, with extensive knowledge.
She quickly got up to bow, and took a quick glance at the newcomer. Rogelio was around thirty, handsome and resolute. Clad in a black robe with golden embroidery, he exuded an indescribable sense of restraint.
He had some resemblance to her husband, but he appeared more mature and serious. The aura of a superior made him appear exceptionally noble.
This piqued her curiosity even more. Such a person didn’t seem like someone who valued female charm, so why did he marry the seductive Larissa?
Perhaps because Lilly had been surreptitiously observing him, the man knit his brows imperceptibly, then turned to Larissa, “I shall take my leave first, I have matters to attend to in the study.”
“Alright, I’ll join you for dinner later.”
Interrupted by Rogelio, Larissa didn’t continue playing. Besides, it was only to pass the time and avoid embarrassment.
“Or, shall we go see how my vegetables are growing together?”
Larissa sincerely extended the invitation.
Lilly didn’t expect a noble lady like her to tend to her own crops.
Unable to refuse, she nodded, “Sure, I’d like to see how the medicinal herbs are coming along.”
As the two walked along the path, the wind blew, and Lilly gazed at the woman’s flowing skirt that shimmered brilliantly. It was probably a top-quality satin. Larissa’s skirt required at least a bolt of fabric.
“Cut!”
“Excellent, it’s perfect, and very natural.”
“If every scene could be this natural, Kate, you’ll definitely be the next Oscar winner!”
Mr. Stout sincerely praised Kate’s performance today, but inadvertently pushed Kate into the envy of others.
She keenly felt the unusual look from the people around her.
All she could do was blush and lower her head, “It’s all thanks to your excellent guidance, Mr. Stout. It’s truly an exaggerated praise.”
