Su Ji didn’t return home to prepare for tomorrow’s filming, unlike what Pan Lian thought.
Today’s incident made her suddenly recall the past.
Then, she remembered that she still had an unofficial history book that she had not finished reading.
She bought this book out of curiosity and wanted to know who the second male lead was.
However, there were more than 23,000 chapters in total, and it was impossible to finish reading all of them. Su Ji planned to jump straight to the main chapters to find out what was going on.
When she got home, Su Ji greeted Su Cunyi and went back to her room.
She took out the book, spread it out on the table, and opened the table of contents.
From the 200th chapter onwards, a name appeared frequently in the table of contents.
“King Huai.”
Because there were too many male leads in the book, Su Ji was not in a hurry to come to a conclusion. She continued to read the title of more than 100 chapters.
Then, she saw it.
“The devil concubine has learned an ultimate move. King Huai persevered for 49 days and finally broke!”
“…”
The story in the book went like this, “in the 72nd year of the Shang Dynasty, King Huai led the army to war.”
“Concubine Su had heard that a divine-looking, and powerful general had arrived at the great Shang army camp.”
“He was twenty-nine years old, but he was not married.”
“Legends said that he had a beautiful voice and face.”
“He was the most beautiful man recorded in history, which was why he wore a mask every time he went to the battlefield.”
“The devil concubine who wanted to see the general disguised as a man and sneaked into the military camp, but she was exposed on the same day.”
“However, King Huai was the vassal king of great Shang, and the devil concubine was the king’s favorite concubine.”
“Prince Huai couldn’t do anything to her, so she could only let her mess around in the camp.”
“The concubine hid in his tent every night, but King Huai’s mental strength was unparalleled. How could he commit such a crime?”
“Later on, the concubine met an expert in the military camp and learned an ultimate technique. In the end, she made Prince Huai…”
The author wrote a hundred chapters just to whet the readers’ appetites, and he was going to go all out in this chapter!
One could only imagine the effect in the end!
It was like a rocket taking off!
Bombs exploded!
And this chapter was also the most wonderful chapter in the entire book.
From this chapter onwards, the devil concubine and King Huai began a new life in the military camp!
Su Ji’s hand trembled, and she almost tore the book to pieces…
She had indeed disguised herself as a man to sneak into the military camp…
But she was going to war!
The actual war!
With this, she could confirm that King Huai was the second male lead.
Su Ji touched her chin.
King Huai…
She did not recognize this name…
She remembered the royal relatives who were always causing problems.
However, King Huai’s character seemed familiar.
He always wore a mask, and he was close to 30 years old, but he had yet to be married.
When she went to war with the army, it seemed like she met her friend for the first time at King Huai’s camp.
When she flipped to Chapter 419, there was a short note by the author.
The author explained why he made King Huai the second male lead in the book.
According to historical records, King Huai had a lot of military power. After the death of the king, he could have easily ascended to the top, but he preferred to be an idle vassal king and help Concubine Su manage the government.
And less than a year after the death of Concubine Su, Prince Huai also passed away.
Su Ji looked at it for a long time and gave a one-word evaluation, “nonsense.”
Su Cunyi suddenly appeared behind her, “Su Ji, are you reading history books?”
Su Ji’s hand, which was about to flip the pages, suddenly stopped.
She had forgotten to close the door when she entered the room.
This was the only page in the entire book that was related to history. Every other page had a picture that depicted some body parts.

But she couldn’t close the book, because the cover was even more explicit.
Su Ji could only push the page back and calmly turn around, “yes, dad?”
It seemed that this was the first time Su Cunyi had heard her call him dad.
Feeling flattered, he said, “nothing.” He put a card on the page, “you’re going to start filming tomorrow, this is a little gift from me. Buy some decent clothes for yourself and some food for the crew to build a good relationship with them…”
Su Ji didn’t lack money now, so she didn’t want to accept Su Cunyi’s money.
Especially after she saw that the original owner’s mother looked exactly like her own mother.
However, just as she picked up the card and was about to return it, Su Cunyi put the card back and closed the book with his other hand. He wanted to clip the card inside, in case Su Ji didn’t want to…
Su Ji was speechless.
Fortunately, she was strong, and she put her finger on the edge of the book, so Su Cunyi couldn’t close it.
He thought that the book was stuck on the table. Before he could check, Su Ji said helplessly, “alright, then I’ll accept it.”
Su Cunyi smiled, “great. Take your time to read. I’ll get someone to call you when dinner is ready.”
After he left, Su Ji closed the book with a dark face.
To avoid such an awkward situation at home in the future, she stuffed the book directly into her backpack.
If there was a chance, she would find a place without a camera and throw it away.

Since “The Billion Stars” was filmed and aired at the same time, the filming was done in chronological order.
The first day of filming was a scene between Si Jingchuan and Su Ji.
It was a scene in high school where the male lead confessed to the second female lead and was rejected.
Before Si Jingchuan arrived, Su Ji was already there.
Today’s filming location was a school, and the production team had informed the school in advance.
The staff dispersed to set up the place. It was time for students to go to class, so the campus was relatively quiet. However, there were still students who slipped away from class to peek at them.
It could be seen from the window seats in almost every classroom.
After all, it wasn’t common for celebrities to come to their school for filming.
This was produced by Blue Whale and other big companies.
Only part of the crew were from Blue Whale while the director, assistant director and many actors and actresses were from other companies.
At the previous press conference, the higher-ups of Blue Whale were all present. These people were very restrained and looked very polite.
However, it was different today. One or two of them had revealed their true colors.
Seeing that Su Ji was reading the script, they started to whisper and discuss enthusiastically.
“That’s her. I don’t know which of the Blue Whale’s higher-ups has hooked up with her, but they’ve specially arranged a role for her at the last minute!”
“Zhou Xuefang is so pitiful. She has to share such a good scene with others.”
“On the night of the press conference, I saw that Manager Ren sent her home. Is it him?”
“But I heard that it was CEO Pei who…”
“That’s impossible. CEO PEI is famous for being cold. It must be Manager Ren. Did you see the corner of her lips? I don’t think it’s an allergy!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Song Heng interrupted the gossip.
Since he was the director, they immediately dispersed.
Song Heng was rather proud of himself for helping Su Ji.
He walked in front of Su Ji and said, “Su Ji, let’s talk…”
