The two of them entered through the west door. Gu An was the only one in the living room. She sat cross-legged on the sofa, surrounded by scattered documents.
When she saw Yan Xi, she waved.
“Fourth sister-in-law, can you do me a favor? It’s something very important.”
Yan Xi looked at Gu Shen and told him to let the maid send him back to his room before she sat beside Gu An.
“What is it?”
Gu An collected the documents around her and shoved them at Yan Xi.
“I remember that you studied Chinese in university. These are the scripts that the company sent over. Help me choose.”
Yan Xi scanned through them and realized that they were just some brainless silly drama scripts. She frowned and put them down.
“Do you like these scripts?”
Gu An told her the truth. “I don’t like it. The female lead in them is too silly. She doesn’t have any brains and is always at the mercy of men.”
While listening to that, Yan Xi thought to herself, “Well, you are no different from these female leads.” Ever since Gu An met the male lead of this book, she fell in deep love with him.
Gu An didn’t know what Yan Xi was thinking. She continued, “I want to look at other scripts, but they only sent me these. I can only choose one out of them.”
In the beginning, Gu An had been criticized because she was always playing silly roles. Even if she had the acting skills and ability, she had failed repeatedly.
She was even mocked for using her resources to get these roles.
In the end, her reputation improved because she played a vicious female supporting role, Hua Rong.
Hua Rong was heartbroken, and her love was turned into hatred. Her entire family was cruelly murdered by a heartless man. The heartless man took the opportunity to get rich and support his family. Coincidentally, this heartless man was the female protagonist’s brother.
In order to take revenge for her family, Hua Rong had been secretly plotting for many years, trying to kill the heartless man and his family to take revenge. Every time she was about to succeed, she would be ruined by the female protagonist or her admirers.
At the end of the drama, Hua Rong was surrounded by people. She hugged the female protagonist’s brother and jumped down from the cliff. The female protagonist also found out what had happened. After a short period of guilt, she threw this matter to the back of her mind and happily lived with the male protagonist.
After this drama was broadcasted, the female lead role was criticized for being too saintly. On the other hand, Hua Rong, the vicious supporting actress who had always opposed the female lead, was loved by everyone. After this drama was broadcasted, it even created a trend of vicious supporting actresses becoming the female lead.
Gu An also made a beautiful comeback with this drama. The stunning scene of her jumping off a cliff will appear in various editing videos many years later.
Yan Xi still remembered that this drama was called “The Duchess of Zhen ‘. She looked at the scripts again and actually found this script.
“How about this one.”
“I saw it just now. This female lead is too kind. I don’t like it.”
“I’m not talking about the female lead. You can consider the supporting role instead. She is more interesting than the female lead.”
Gu An was a little hesitant. “Will such a vicious supporting role leave a bad impression on the audience?”
“The most important thing now is to leave an impression on the audience. Only then will you have the right to choose more scripts and change this image. Otherwise, you will have to deal with these silly scripts for the rest of your life.”
Gu An was persuaded. “Fourth Sister-in-law, you’re right.. You are the only one who cares about me. My brothers and the rest will only mock me!”
