Chapter 878: Wishing As You Wish

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Gu Huanhuan saw Sister Gao, she had just finished a phone call.

“Huanhuan, great news! I communicated with Director Zheng. He wants you to go for a screen test tomorrow. The filming for ‘Princess of Liancheng’ is almost set, just waiting for the lead roles to be cast. You’ve rarely done period dramas, so this is a fantastic opportunity. Go home and prepare well,” Sister Gao said excitedly.

“Thank you, Sister Gao,” Gu Huanhuan replied. She knew that every role she had played was secured through Sister Gao’s hard work, so she always put in her best effort to bring the characters to life.

“Director Zheng is investing heavily in this project. I’ve heard that the costumes are being specially made, extremely luxurious and exquisite. Many people are looking forward to the characters. You might have a costume fitting tomorrow, so get a good rest tonight and don’t show up with panda eyes,” Sister Gao reminded her.

“OK,” Gu Huanhuan agreed. Sister Gao knew her well and always gave precise reminders.

“There’s a new ‘princess’ at the company. Have you met her?” Sister Gao asked.

“Mm-hmm, we just had a chat,” Gu Huanhuan replied, frowning slightly. If Sister Gao specifically mentioned someone, it usually wasn’t a small matter.

“Stay away from her. She’s the new favorite of the company’s vice president. Since he has a family, they’re keeping it low-key. Be mindful,” Sister Gao, a PR expert with well-connected sources, warned her.

“Oh, no wonder she’s so arrogant,” Gu Huanhuan scoffed.

“Yeah, but she does have some popularity. She’s just relying on her looks and voice to grab attention—a vase with no real talent. She won’t last,” Sister Gao observed, having seen many like her come and go quickly.

“Don’t worry. I don’t like getting involved in such messy affairs anyway,” Gu Huanhuan assured. Since getting married, she was even more cautious about her actions and words, knowing any slip could make headlines and affect her family.

After chatting for a while, Gu Huanhuan decided to go home and quietly study the script. She felt she hadn’t quite grasped the princess’s psychological changes yet.

As she left, she saw Qin Wan’er, who greeted her awkwardly. Gu Huanhuan nodded and quickly walked away.

….

The next day’s audition went exceptionally well, as if the role had been tailor-made for Gu Huanhuan.

The princess of Liancheng was spirited, pure, and courageous—all qualities that Gu Huanhuan possessed.

The decision was quickly made: Gu Huanhuan would play the female lead, and the male lead would be played by the Best Actor award winner, Lu Yiming.

Gu Huanhuan was thrilled and immediately shared the news with Wen Chi.

Her joy was palpable in her voice. Since he was still out of town and couldn’t celebrate with her, Wen Chi could only express his happiness over the phone.

Soon, the opening ceremony was held. When Gu Huanhuan saw Qin Wan’er on set, she was momentarily stunned, marveling at Qin Wan’er’s resourcefulness.

Director Zheng was known for his impartiality and rarely cast “flower vase” actresses. That Qin Wan’er could be here likely meant there was pressure from the higher-ups.

Her assistant quietly approached her and said, “She went to see the general manager and quickly secured a role in the drama. I heard she’s playing the princess’s sister, and you two are love rivals.”

The assistant was well-informed, making Gu Huanhuan feel like she was the only one out of the loop.

“It’s fine,” Gu Huanhuan responded with an indifferent smile.

As long as she wasn’t provoked, she wouldn’t start any trouble.
