Ran Yue wanted to grab the staff member who already turned around, but the other was already several steps away from her.

Yang Ruolan glanced at Ran Yue but didn't ask what she got. Everyone already got their number and what scene corresponded to the number that they got; there was no need to ask since all of them were rivals.

However, this audition was really strange and surprising. Usually, when the audition started, they only needed to wait for their names to be called and then, they would enter the audition room where the director and producers waited and watch the actress or actor perform the scene they picked for them to act.

Though it was still the same thing with just an added twist of suspense and thrill for they have to grab a number and scene inside a box, the actors and actresses inside the VIP waiting room still felt tense and nervous for only one reason.

Before coming here, they already received the script and contract from their companies. Along with it were, of course, the scenes that the directors would ask the actors and actresses to play in front of them. Thus, giving these artists time to practice and hone their acting skills, and perfect the scene and role they will be acting at the audition.

However, this was really unexpected. Because, this time, some scenes that were not included from the scenes they practiced were now part of the scenes they must act out. But of course, the most unfortunate ones were the only people who got these scenes.

For example... Ran Yue, who had the most difficult scene to act out.

The audition scene Ran Yue got was the action scene where the protagonist, Jiao Yu, will be fighting against some assassins.

Because the protagonist sensed that something happened with her adopted father, she came rushing through the wilderness like an arrow and saw her father being beheaded in front of her. As an assassin who was widely known in Jianghu for her skills and talent in both fighting and killing, she quickly fought and killed the assassins surrounding her father.

This part of the novel was one of the few scenes that catapulted the protagonist to embrace the darkness within her and started to shut the whole world away.

The director and producers expected that when the viewers watched this episode, they would be riding in a rollercoaster of emotions and the ratings would certainly increase.

However, there was a problem... This would only be possible if the actress playing out this scene was an outstanding actress who could bring out all the emotions that the protagonist possessed and poured into her fight.

This was one of the most important scenes in the drama. If Ran Yue didn't do well in the audition, it was better for her to leave now and forget about auditioning for the protagonist role forever.

When Ran Yue realized this... she was cursing and screaming inwardly. She really wanted to leave. But she couldn't. Not when this TV drama was a high-budgeted one with numerous investors and sponsors involved who are in it. If she successfully gets the protagonist role, her success in the industry will be secured.

Besides that... the fans who will be attracted to her and follow her will increase tremendously.

Moreover, there will be an award ceremony and the TV drama should have the potential to get an award.

Ran Yue couldn't give up. She wouldn't do it even if somebody were to offer her a good amount of money. What was money compared to what benefit she'll get from playing a role in the drama?

But the problem is...

Ran Yue glanced at Ran Xueyi who was sitting on her chair with her legs crossed; looking very cozy and comfortable as if she was inside her own living room rather than a stifling and suffocating waiting room.

Casually turning the page of the script she was holding in her hands, Ran Xueyi read out the lines and imagined the scenes playing out in her mind. The audition scene she got from the drama was the scene between the protagonist and the male lead.

Because the protagonist was widely known for hiding her face with a veil, no one really knew what she looked like. However, a chance encounter in the middle of the night, and in the middle of a dangerous mission, revealed the protagonist's beautiful face to the male lead who was coincidentally lurking in that forest where the protagonist was waiting for her enemies to arrive.

It was a simple meeting between the main characters. However, it still became the connection for the both to develop their feelings for each other. From strangers to enemies to lovers. Their bittersweet love story will definitely capture the hearts of both the young and adult viewers who will watch it.

Ran Xueyi turned the page again when a shadow of a person fell on the page she was currently, covering some part of it in a darker shade.

Knowing who it was, Ran Xueyi didn't raise her head up and continued reading the lines.

"Sister... are you really going to ignore me? Won't you at least help me understand my scene?" Ran Yue spoke a bit louder than her normal voice, making the ears of some people twitch and turn their heads to look at them.

Ran Xueyi also sensed that the other people inside the waiting room were watching them. However, she didn't really want to create a drama for these hyenas to prey on and watch on live.

But Ran Yue didn't give up.

Using her face, she showed a forlorn expression and made her voice squeak as she spoke; making others think that she was crying, "Sister, I know that you want to enter the industry again, but aren't you a bit too arrogant? I'm only asking you to help me understand my scene because you're much more talented and skillful in acting than all of us...But you're ignoring me. Is it because when I debuted, you also believed that I stole your spotlight?"
