The girl was exactly the same as yesterday, totally immersed in her phone, a lovestruck smile plastered on her face.

The makeup artist hadn't arrived yet, so Yu Qianxia waited while going over her script.

A few minutes later, Xiao Wu's face flushed slightly, and she hesitated before speaking. "Sister Qianxia, I need to step out for a bit."

Yu Qianxia smiled. "No problem, go ahead. I'm good here."

Hearing that, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up with undisguised joy. A bright smile spread across her fair face, and she practically bolted out the door in excitement.

A little while later, the makeup artist finally arrived. "Sorry, Sister Qianxia! I'm late."

Yu Qianxia shook her head lightly. "It's fine, we're not in a rush. There's plenty of time."

The makeup artist flipped her deep red, wavy hair over her shoulder. She was rocking a hot, strapless crop top, showing off a killer figure that even Yu Qianxia couldn't help but steal a few glances at.

Yu Qianxia recalled that yesterday, the makeup artist had only been wearing light makeup and a comfy sports set. But today? She was clearly dressed to impress. Her makeup was flawless, her lips were a glossy, alluring red, and as she adjusted Yu Qianxia's wig, the scent of rose perfume lingered in the air.

The makeup artist seemed to be in a great mood, humming a tune while fixing the wig. "Sister Qianxia, does this look good to you?"

Yu Qianxia glanced at herself in the mirror. With the wig on, she definitely had that scholarly, refined vibe. She nodded. "Yeah, this works."

Just as she finished putting on the wig, the door suddenly swung open. Yu Qianxia's eyes flickered as she caught sight of Xiao Wu in the mirror—looking utterly dazed and out of it.

Her hair was a little messy, and she kept her head down as she hurried toward the bathroom. Yu Qianxia noticed something off about the way she was walking.

Curiosity sparked. This had "gossip" written all over it. She turned to her system. [I wanna know what's up with Xiao Wu. Spill the tea.]

[Ooooh, I love how dedicated you are to the gossip life, Host! Let me check!] The system practically squealed with excitement.

As the makeup artist started applying foundation, the system suddenly gasped. [OH MY GOD! Xiao Wu just met up with her boyfriend! He's her first love! They hadn't seen each other in forever, and the second they met, things got super heated—like, couldn't-keep-their-hands-off-each-other level!]

[They started making out in the car and then... you know...]

[Also—Xiao Wu was a virgin!!]

Yu Qianxia frowned. [Her first time... in a car? Does her boyfriend even know the meaning of the word "respect"?]

The system huffed in agreement. [RIGHT?! Xiao Wu likes him so much, and yet this guy just let his hormones take over. He insisted on doing it in the car, and if Xiao Wu didn't like him so much, she probably wouldn't have agreed at all!]

[Ugh, I'm so pissed! And to make things worse, the experience was awful for her.]

[It just hurt. No pleasure at all.]

Yu Qianxia scoffed. [Did this guy save Xiao Wu's life in a past life or something?]

The system chimed in, [For real! He totally disrespected her... Wait! HOLD UP!!]

[What?]

Then, the system burst into laughter. [HAHAHAHA, WAIT. Xiao Wu's still a virgin!!]

Yu Qianxia: [???]

[Explain.]

[Her boyfriend is just... too small. He didn't even break through. LMAO.]

Yu Qianxia: [...]

Is this boyfriend really that necessary?!

At that moment, Xiao Wu walked out of the bathroom, looking utterly shell-shocked. She was staring blankly ahead, as if questioning the very fabric of reality.

Meanwhile, the system was still howling with laughter in her head. Yu Qianxia's lips twitched.

The makeup artist continued applying foundation with swift, expert strokes. Soon, a fresh, natural base was done.

She stepped back to admire her work, then smiled. "Sister Qianxia, I think this light makeup looks perfect for the scholar character. What do you think?"

In the mirror, a refined, elegant scholar stared back at her. Yu Qianxia nodded. "Looks good. Let's go with this."

The makeup artist put away her brushes, her voice light and cheerful. "Alright! Since we're done, I've got somewhere to be, so I'll head out first."

She waved at Yu Qianxia before strutting out, looking like she was in an amazing mood.

After finishing her makeup, Yu Qianxia admired herself in the mirror. She flicked her sleeves and mimicked a man's stride, walking back and forth in the room with her head held high.

Her assistant, Xiao Wu, had gone to the set to find a female extra—one of Hengcheng's more skilled special actors. When Yu Qianxia saw her, she found her face familiar. She had often seen her playing important supporting roles in dramas, but she didn't know her name.

"Hello, Qianxia. I'm Xu Qian. Nice to meet you."

Xu Qian had delicate and elegant features, with a small dimple appearing when she smiled, giving off a warm and approachable vibe.

Yu Qianxia politely shook hands with her. "Hello, Miss Xu. I'll be troubling you today."

"You're too polite. Just call me Qianqian—no need for the 'Miss.'" Xu Qian waved her hand with a smile.

Xu Qian had brought her own costume—a red long dress. After changing into it, she skimmed through the script a couple of times and memorized all the lines with ease. Then, she and Yu Qianxia began their scene.

Yu Qianxia's livestream didn't have many viewers to begin with. Most of them were just there for the drama, ready to throw in a casual jab at her. But when they saw she was actually serious about acting, their curiosity was piqued.

No one had ever seen Yu Qianxia act before, but they could already guess—an industry outsider like her? Her acting was bound to be terrible.

With a "let's just see how bad it is" mindset, quite a few viewers decided to stay and watch her performance.

The script and dialogue were all written by Yu Qianxia herself, and she had run through the scenes in her head countless times. Lowering her gaze, she took a moment to immerse herself in the emotions. When she looked up again, Xu Qian was momentarily stunned—Yu Qianxia's expression and aura had completely transformed.

Some people spend their entire lives struggling in film cities, yet only manage to land supporting roles. In the acting world, hard work alone isn't enough—talent matters too.

And Yu Qianxia? Just one smile from her, and Xu Qian finally understood what "natural-born talent" meant.
