Yun Yecheng arrived at home, only to discover the mess and see a naked Yun Na inside the house. He immediately knew what had happened. Flustered, he took a pail of cold water and woke her up by pouring it on her.

Why do I have such an unfilial daughter like you?!

Yun Na, filled with shame and hate, kept begging for Yun Yechengs forgiveness, but her fathers anger was not assuaged. He threatened to sever their father-daughter relationship.

That night, she repeatedly scrubbed and cleaned herself in an attempt to remove all traces of stains from her filthy body. She was filled with loathing for Yun Shishi and cursed her to death.

Her red and swollen face from Li Dongqiangs abuse remained like that for several days. On the day of the audition, despite covering it with a thick layer of makeup, she could not conceal the bruises and swelling.

Her pretty face looked wan, swollen, and unsightly.

She was doubtful that she could pass the audition. Sure enough, even before she could start, the director told her to leave.

In her current state, she was just wasting their time.

Yun Na was shocked to see Yun Shishi at the audition site. Her face turned ghastly pale when she recalled what Li Dongqiang had said about her adoptive sister having an influential paymaster.

How did she manage to hook a rich man?

How can that be possible? She is just an average person with an illegitimate son. Which rich man would want her?

Why is she here today?

Dont tell me she found out about my deception on that night?

Yun Na panicked and only calmed down once she realized that her adoptive sister was not even looking in her direction. She tried to make herself inconspicuous and stay out of Yun Shishis sight.

Kacha.

The door to the audition hall opened once more. The second batch finished their auditions, too. Some looked elated, while others carried looks of disappointment. Audition could be competitive and harsh.

The person in charge of filtering the auditionees went to the door, clapped, and passed some instructions with a loudspeaker.

Those in the third group, please get ready!

Gu Xingze gave Yun Shishis shoulder a light pat. Go in, Shishi. You can do it. You are my Yin Xiachun.

She nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

The crowd dispersed. Yun Na watched Yun Shishi enter the audition hall and knew right away that her adoptive sister was there to audition, too.

Who gave her this opportunity?

She transferred her gaze on to Gu Xingze, who was looking at Yun Shishi with encouragement. Was it him?

Oh, god. Gu Xingze had been Yun Nas idol since he first entered the show business a decade ago.

How could he be giving her adoptive sister such a tender loving look? She was just a hooker with an illegitimate child! Life is so unfair!

She helplessly watched Gu Xingze accompany Yun Shishi into the audition hall. Her heart was filled with so much loathing and jealousy that tears welled up in her eyes.

The dance room was used as the audition hall. The rooms four walls were covered with mirrors, with a grand piano in a corner. On the rostrum, eight examiners sat side by side. Among them were Gu Xingze, the male lead in the The Green Apple, Lin Fengtian, the acclaimed director, and four other well-known producers in the entertainment industry.

Lin Fengtian felt tired after having presided over the last two rounds of the audition and was now having visual fatigue.

This audition, thanks to Gu Xingzes immense popularity, attracted tens of thousands of female participants. Although they were able to reduce the number to a few hundred after the initial selection round, none managed to catch his eyes today.

In the novel, the character, Yin Xiachun, had thick glossy, waist-length hair, fair and delicate skin, that did not need powdery makeup, and round and pretty eyes that were described as sparkling with innocence and joy. She was like a fairy that that had fallen to earth – otherworldly, fresh, and lovely.

However, he was unable to see any of these qualities in the last few batches of auditionees.

Who were the previous auditionees?

Their hair were curled into huge waves, their makeup were heavy and seductive, their eyelashes were thick like a brushs tough bristles, and their nose bridges were penciled thickly – the faces of these ladies were so shiny they could blind others.

The audition participants were either online celebrities who had gone under the knife or unpopular young models in the entertainment industry. They had neither looks nor auras of elegance.

High heels, painted faces, revealing dresses – what were all these? Did they come from nightclubs?

Putting this aside, six words could sum up the two sessions of auditioning today: an entire morning of crying scenes.

All these people seemed to think that a crying scene was the toughest to act out, so, for the rest of the morning, everyone who had come to audition performed the most iconic crying scenes in the story.

Crying and crying While crying scene was the most challenging to act, one would get sick from watching the same scenes again and again, no matter how good it was. Lin Fengtians head throbbed from watching the ladies cry the entire morning that he was no longer in the mood for the auditions.

Bored to death, Lin Fengtian propped his chin on one hand as he rapidly twirled a black pen between his fingers with his other hand. He inadvertently recalled, once more, that little fairy he had seen by the entrance of Huanyu Tower that day. That girl was the Yin Xiachun in his mind.

She did not need to act. She just needed to stand there and she would look just like the female character from the novel.

What a muddle-head he was. Sigh

The assistant sitting next to him shot him a cold glance

He looked lovesick.

Just as Lin Fengtians face contorted with a deep-rooted bitterness, Yun Shishi pushed the door open and entered.
