Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

“Brother, her explanation was probably thanking me for supporting her on Weibo before. It didn’t mean anything else, really. Brother, believe me, I’ve done nothing except what you told me to do.”

Jing Ming’s brow furrowed tightly as he continued to eye Jing Ge suspiciously. “You’ve always been interested in her.”

“Brother, even if I am interested in her, I wouldn’t go against my own brother for a woman, would I?”

Jing Ming laughed coldly, “That’s not necessarily true. Who knows if you might lose your head over some woman and turn against your own brother?” Jing Ming deeply suspected his brother, not just of opposing him over a woman, but also wondering if Jing Ge, being part of the Jing family, might no longer want to be an actor and instead come back to inherit the family business.

Even if that wasn’t the case, Jing Ge might still oppose his brother slightly to please a woman. If his brother had truly fallen in love, anything was possible.

His suspicions weren’t unfounded. He’d received information that Jing Ge hadn’t dated anyone for a long time because of Shen Wan.

He even avoided women in the industry who tried to get close to him.

Instead, while filming his current hit TV drama, he’d secretly gone out to eat with Shen Wan several times. Jing Ming completely ignored the fact that Fu Qingman had also been present. A woman’s presence didn’t matter; she might have been there to cover for Shen Wan.

“Brother, it really wasn’t me. I don’t have that kind of ability.” Jing Ge was nearly in tears. It truly wasn’t him. He also wanted to know who it was, who could make his brother suffer like this. He admired that person.

Jing Ming’s face remained cold. “Whether it was you or not, you’d better hope I don’t find any evidence that it was. Alright, you can go now.”

As Jing Ge turned to leave, he was called back. He turned around and asked softly, “Brother, is there something else?”

“That Shen Wan…” Jing Ming frowned. “Do you still have feelings for her?”

Jing Ge shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum. “No, brother, I don’t have any feelings for her anymore, really. I swear, if I still have even the slightest feeling for her, may I never find a girlfriend and remain single for life.”

Jing Ge’s earnest words made Jing Ming believe him somewhat.

He pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, “This matter can’t be left as it is. Since you’re not interested in her anymore, it’s best you stay away from her.”

“Understood.” Jing Ge realized that Jing Ming was probably truly angry and planning to deal with Shen Wan.

His brother had always been petty since childhood. If someone bit him once, he’d have to take a chunk of flesh from them in return. Truthfully, the first reason he entered the entertainment industry to act was because he liked it, and the second reason was that he feared the day the two brothers would be at odds with each other. That was a scene he didn’t want to see.

Look at this – just one Weibo post and one interview, and his brother was already suspecting him.

Wiping away his sweat, Jing Ge quickly left home. As for Shen Wan, he dared not have any thoughts about her. Between his brother and a woman, he would definitely choose his brother, even if that brother was a bit petty, vindictive, and harsh.

Shen Wan’s new drama was a connection made by Fu Qingman. Fu Qingman was also in this drama, and she had suggested Shen Wan for the second female lead role. It was a very eye-catching and complete character. As long as the actor’s skills were up to par, this role would definitely elevate Shen Wan’s status in the industry.

Currently, Shen Wan only had her current hit drama to her name.

She had quite a bit of screen time in that drama, but it was still just the third female lead. Most of the scenes focused on the male and female leads. Moreover, most of her appearances were action scenes. The character’s background and emotions weren’t fully fleshed out. Even though there was a tragic turn at the end that resonated somewhat with the audience, it couldn’t sustain for long and only attracted a small fan base.

Trying to establish a position in the industry with a third female lead role was difficult. Why should other actors work hard to fight for main and second lead roles if that were possible? Being the third lead meant that no matter how well she performed or how outstanding she was, she was still the third lead. As long as the main and second female leads weren’t complete fools and their looks and acting skills were above average, it wasn’t easy to steal the spotlight.

Fu Qingman thought that with Shen Wan’s current fame, everyone knew her. If she could act well in two quality dramas, directors would see her potential. Shen Wan was very wealthy, but Fu Qingman believed that if Shen Wan wanted to buy a leading role with money, she would have done so already.

Since she hadn’t done that, it seemed she wanted to take it step by step, focusing on her acting skills and being a dedicated actor.

It made sense. The hard work of being an actor was for fame, and fame was for profit, wasn’t it? Shen Wan didn’t lack money, and she didn’t seem to care much about fame either.

After analyzing this, when Fu Qingman received the new script, she got it before the director started casting. At that time, she saw the second female lead role and thought it was very suitable for Shen Wan, so she could try for it. Now, she could start with second lead roles, and when she reached a certain level of skill, naturally good scripts would come looking for her.

Later, when she took Shen Wan to audition, it went very smoothly. The directors who invited her were all very famous and produced high-quality dramas. Even if they used some popular stars, they still needed a certain level of acting skill. They couldn’t rely on fame alone without any acting ability.

The director was very satisfied with Shen Wan’s audition.

After returning home, she and Shen Wan spent every day rehearsing lines together in the house. Because she was playing the female lead and Shen Wan was the second lead, they had quite a few scenes together.

In the drama, they were best friends at first, but later became enemies. Of course, it was Shen Wan’s character who turned evil. If her character as the female lead turned evil, that wouldn’t work. In the end, the second female lead would regain her conscience for various reasons and return to her innocent and lovely self just before dying.

While reading the script, Fu Qingman glanced up at Shen Wan and saw her with the evil expression from the script. It was quite scary. If she were in costume with the right makeup, Fu Qingman thought it would be even more fitting.

Naturally, there was no problem with Shen Wan’s acting skills. Fu Qingman was very confident about that. What she cared about was how to help Shen Wan perform even better. Unconsciously, she didn’t consider her own status as the lead at all, focusing entirely on how Shen Wan should act and what to pay attention to during their scenes together.

Even though Shen Wan had some experience, she still listened very attentively.

How could she not listen when her wife was teaching her so seriously?

“I think when you turn evil, you don’t need heavy makeup. The change in appearance is just superficial. To really portray this character’s transformation, it needs to come from within, from your eyes. For example, at this point, after everything you’ve been through, you should already be immersed in the character.”

Fu Qingman spoke very gently, constantly tucking Shen Wan’s loose hair behind her ear and pinching her cheek. “Your face is naturally pure and cute. If we add heavy evil makeup, I think it would be too much. We’ll talk to the stylist and makeup artist later about my ideas.”

“Do you understand?”

“You mean that even though I’ve turned evil, I don’t need heavy makeup to show it. Instead, I need to become evil from the inside out. Even if I look pure and innocent on the outside like before, like a little white flower, viewers should be able to tell from my eyes, expressions, and smile that I’ve actually turned evil. I’m no longer that little white flower, but a big pervert, right?”

Although she was correct, using such terms for comparison was strange.

A little white flower turning into a big pervert – it sounded so odd.

Fu Qingman was quite satisfied with Shen Wan’s understanding and nodded, “Now, give me your most innocent smile.”

Shen Wan thought: If my wife wants to see me smile, I’ll smile for her.

Then, Shen Wan broke into a happy smile. It was indeed radiant and pure, almost blinding Fu Qingman. She didn’t know how to describe that smile. It was as if Shen Wan was a little sun, and in that moment, all its warmth shone only on her. She was the only one who could feel its temperature.

“How was that?”

Fu Qingman snapped out of her daze when Shen Wan waved her hand, quickly regaining her composure. “It’s very beautiful. Your smile is really lovely.”

“Then I’ll smile again for you. If you like looking, you can look more.” Shen Wan said, and smiled again.

Fu Qingman watched her smile silently, her heart unknowingly starting to race, seemingly because of Shen Wan’s earlier words. Smiling again for her to see, telling her to look more if she liked it. Why did girls have to speak so ambiguously with each other?

She didn’t interpret Shen Wan’s words in any other way. Perhaps she was subconsciously avoiding thinking in that direction.

“Alright, stop smiling.”

Shen Wan stopped smiling and waited for Fu Qingman to speak.

Fu Qingman thought for a moment. “Now, a desolate smile. You must fully embody the character’s sense of desolation in this smile.”

As she finished speaking, Shen Wan covered her face with both hands. When she removed them, a different smile appeared. Her pretty, fair face seemed unchanged, but when Fu Qingman saw her eyes, she was startled. That faint smile was truly desolate and desperate. She thought she saw a hint of bitterness at the corners of Shen Wan’s lips. It was hard to imagine Shen Wan could smile like this.

But when Fu Qingman saw this smile, she felt it was genuine. She was drawn in, wanting to ask what was wrong, why she was so sad.

Just then, Shen Wan burst out laughing, pulling her out of the entire scene.

“Now, give me an arrogant laugh, like you’ve succeeded in your schemes and are completely at odds with someone.”

Shen Wan complied, and it was perfect again.

Moreover, Fu Qingman felt that Shen Wan looked most perfect when she smiled like a psychopath. Was it because she was especially good at turning from an innocent flower into a big pervert?

“The last smile is very complex – a smile of resignation.”

A smile that could be explained in four simple words, yet wasn’t so simple to execute.

Although Shen Wan did quite well, Fu Qingman felt something was missing, that something wasn’t quite right.

Shen Wan also noticed that there was a problem with her resigned smile. So, she consulted the excellent system 188, asking for help in analyzing it.

[188 analyzed for a long time before finally speaking, “Wan Wan, why don’t you try thinking about this: Imagine you originally had a lot of money, but someone spent it all. You’re furious and really want to kill the person who spent all your money. You chase them for half your life. When you finally find them and are about to kill them, you suddenly discover it’s your wife. Then you feel resigned, and even happy. Isn’t that similar to your character? Although you failed in the end, you learned the truth, everything was different from what you thought, you reconciled with your sister, and finally felt resigned.”]

Shen Wan: “Although your expression is a bit strange, I can try it.”

Her wife spent all her money, and she had to chase her for half her life. Why did it hurt so much? Having all her money spent, and then having to chase for half her life before finding the person.

Shen Wan cast a resentful glance at Fu Qingman, which left Fu Qingman puzzled. “What’s wrong? Is it a bit difficult? Do you want us to analyze this character again, find some inspiration?”

“No need, I’ll smile for you now.” That old woman!

If she dared to spend all her money and make her search for half her life, she’d teach her a lesson.

Pushing aside the distracting thoughts, Shen Wan gave Fu Qingman a resigned smile. This time it was perfect. Fu Qingman said, “When you film this scene later, you need to remember this feeling.”

Shen Wan’s gaze became even more resentful. Remember the feeling of this old woman spending all her money and being chased for half her life before being caught? What a terrible request.

Fu Qingman: ?
