As Yeo Woon approached, Han Seo Ah said, “Just a moment,” and went to speak to PD Choi Dong Hoon. PD Choi, after listening to what Han Seo Ah said, shouted out in a slightly angry voice.
“Han Seo Ah, if you only want to do pretty things, you should quit acting. How can you be the lead if you can’t even act out a scene like this?”
Han Seo Ah’s expression hardened, and she suddenly stormed out of the filming set. Startled by this, PD Choi, who was holding a script, threw it on the floor and shouted.
“I can’t believe it. Hey, AD!! Bring Han Seo Ah back quickly!”
At his shout, the assistant director ran towards the direction Han Seo Ah had run off to. PD Choi let out a deep sigh and left his spot, saying he was going to smoke a cigarette. Yeo Woon stood despondently on the set, with the mirror ball spinning vigorously.
What’s going on?
Yeo Woon looked around at the chaotic surroundings and, thinking Han Seo Ah would return soon, pulled up a nearby chair and sat down. She could hear the other staff members murmuring complaints.
“Is she doing this because she doesn’t want to sing?”
“I don’t know. Maybe she doesn’t like singing or acting drunk. Isn’t this too irresponsible?”
“Exactly. If it weren’t for her agency, she wouldn’t even be the lead.”
There was a spate of somewhat stark criticism. Yeo Woon was surprised to hear all of this for the first time.
In her surprise, she tidied up the tambourine lying next to her, but the surrounding staff didn’t react to the noise.
What, was I the only one who didn’t know?
Han Seo Ah was always the center member in the girl group because of her pretty face. However, she always caused a controversy about her skills because she couldn’t sing, and even ‘Han Seo Ah, tonedeaf’ appeared in related search terms.
She must have felt a lot of pressure for this scene, where she had to sing and pretend to dance crazily. But no matter what, leaving the filming set was an utterly irresponsible act.
There were dozens of people waiting for Han Seo Ah on the set.
When PD Choi returned, Yeo Woon pondered for a moment before moving towards him. There was a strong smell of cigarette smoke coming from PD Choi.
“PDnim.”
“Hmm, Miss Yeo Woon.”
“It seems like Miss Seo Ah is feeling a bit burdened by the singing. How about for this scene, I sing and Miss Seo Ah just does a bit of the movements?”
Instead of answering, Choi Dong Hoon let out a deep sigh.
“But I’ll work hard! I’m good at that, PDnim. Also, Miss Seo Ah is the protagonist, so it wouldn’t look good if she is too stressed.”
“Ha… Really, there’s no one but Yeo Woon. Even if there’s a lot of investment, I shouldn’t have given the lead role for such a reason.”
PD Choi took out his phone from his pocket and called the assistant director.
“Where’s Han Seo Ah? What, still? I won’t make her sing, so coax her to come and just dance.”
Yeo Woon returned to the karaoke set and sat down. In fact, Yeo Woon was quite good at singing. She even dreamed of becoming a singer when she was young.
Then, the assistant director who went to look for Han Seo Ah came into the set.
“No matter what I do, she won’t come out. She says she can’t film anymore because she’s been hurt by PDnim!”
“What? Ha!! I can’t believe this!”
PD Choi spat out a curse and stood up abruptly from his seat. The surrounding staff also murmured in turmoil. Yeo Woon was also astonished, as this was a scene she was seeing for the first time.
Han Seo Ah, who is neither a veteran actor nor a top actor, isn’t crazy, but is making a scene at the filming site?
Thinking that the situation would get bigger, Yeo Woon got up from her seat and headed towards the waiting room that Han Seo Ah used. She didn’t have a specific solution in mind, but she decided to at least inform her of the onsite situation. She knocked on the door of the waiting room.
“Han Seo Ah! Are you okay? It’s me, Yeo Woon.”
When Yeo Woon knocked on the door again, some conversation could be heard from inside. Then, after a moment, a stylist slightly opened the door and peeked her face out.
“What brings you here…?”
“Ah, the situation on set is not good. PDnim is also very angry…”
Yeo Woon couldn’t finish her sentence. The waiting room visible through the gap of the open door was in a mess, as if it had been bombed, with objects scattered all over the floor.
As Yeo Woon stopped speaking and looked at the scene, the stylist widened her eyes and abruptly shut the door.
“……”
Yeo Woon, standing in front of the suddenly closed door, blinked in surprise.
What did I just see?
A sharp voice came from inside, and soon the door opened again. It was Han Seo Ah, with a clean expression as if nothing had happened.
As Yeo Woon stepped aside in surprise, Han Seo Ah took a step outside the door. The sound of her heels echoed coldly in the hallway.
Han Seo Ah looked at Yeo Woon and opened her mouth.
“Sister.”
Yeo Woon opened her eyes wide at the unfamiliar address.
Did she just call me sister?
“Can you sing well, sister?”
“Excuse me?”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
