Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

“This doesn’t seem to be my room?” In the morning, Shen Wan wore a puzzled expression. If 188 didn’t know her so well and hadn’t witnessed the scene last night, it might have believed her act. That confused little face – who was she trying to fool?

Fu Qingman was sitting on the balcony drinking milk when she heard the voice behind her. She turned and said, “I couldn’t find your room key in your bag yesterday, so I brought you to my room.” As a seasoned player in the entertainment industry, even if Fu Qingman suspected Mu Linshi had ulterior motives, she wouldn’t naively tell Shen Wan that she suspected Mu Linshi of trying to set her up or harm her.

The excuse about not finding the room key was good enough.

Little did Fu Qingman know, this excuse perfectly aligned with Shen Wan’s intentions.

Shen Wan inwardly praised her wife for becoming increasingly clever. Yes, they hadn’t found the room key last night, so she was brought to this room.

She was mentally showering her wife with praise!

“Now that you’re awake, have some breakfast. Do you have any schedule today?”

“No,” Shen Wan sat up, rubbing her face. Looking at her wrinkled dress, she added, “The crew doesn’t start filming for a few days. Besides, I’m just a small-time celebrity playing an unimportant minor role. I don’t have much to do.”

Though she was playing a minor role as a small-time celebrity, her body’s appearance was indeed quite attractive. If Fu Qingman was a great beauty, then Shen Wan’s looks could be called a little beauty without exaggeration. Fu Qingman’s beauty was vibrant and dazzling, looking very impressive and perfectly suited for the big screen. Combined with her acting skills and abilities, it wasn’t surprising that Fu Qingman had become an award-winning actress at such a young age.

Fu Qingman was only 24 this year. She had debuted in her teens and had been collecting awards left and right over the years.

“Oh, I’ll be leaving here soon. Can you get back on your own?” Fu Qingman hesitated before asking, “Is anyone coming to pick you up?”

“Probably not.”

Inwardly, Shen Wan muttered that someone would definitely come looking for her, but certainly not to pick her up.

Hadn’t Mu Linshi deliberately gotten her drunk at the dinner table, intending to send her to the investor’s bed? Mu Linshi had two reasons for doing this. First, she was jealous of Shen Wan’s looks, and the role Shen Wan was playing this time wasn’t really that small – it could be considered the third female lead.

The second reason was that the male lead in this drama had been very attentive to her. In fact, the three of them had worked together in a previous drama. That’s where she had met this male lead, who seemed to treat her specially, always taking care of her on set, often sharing snacks his assistant bought. Mu Linshi liked this man and used this dinner with the investors as an opportunity to get Shen Wan drunk and send her to his bed.

She had already colluded with the investor, who had also taken a liking to Shen Wan. If she succeeded, the investor would give her a good resource. How could Mu Linshi refuse the chance to eliminate a major concern and gain resources at the same time?

According to the original plot, Mu Linshi was supposed to bring that man to find Shen Wan this morning, under the pretext of discussing the script, as her character had many scenes with this man. Mu Linshi’s excuse was that she wanted to discuss the script with him, but to avoid suspicion, she asked Mu Linshi to join them, preventing any unsavory rumors.

The man naturally believed this, as he already had feelings for her. Hearing such an excuse, he didn’t suspect Mu Linshi of lying at all.

Although what they ultimately stumbled upon was the original host and Jing Ming in the room, rather than Shen Wan lying in the arms of that fat investor as Mu Linshi had imagined, it didn’t matter. Shen Wan had still slept with a man in an ambiguous situation, which was enough to tarnish her pure image in that man’s eyes.

But what Mu Linshi could never have anticipated was that these two men knew each other, and were quite close. In fact, these two men were brothers.

Jing Ge, the man who had been so attentive to Shen Wan on set, who liked her, and whom Mu Linshi fancied, was also Jing Ming’s younger brother.

The relationship between the two brothers was already strained, and Jing Ge had been interested in the original host. Now, seeing this little white flower lying in his brother’s arms, how could he not be angry? If he had only liked her three-tenths before, the stimulation had now increased it to six-tenths, leading to a competition between the two brothers for the same woman.

If Jing Ming wanted to support the original host, Jing Ge would create obstacles for her on set. They had many scenes together, and he was a seasoned actor who could easily overwhelm the original host with a few tricks. Especially since this was a martial arts drama with many action scenes. Jing Ge originally had a stunt double, but how could a small-time celebrity like the original host have one? She had to do everything herself.

During filming, Jing Ge stopped using his stunt double too, just to torment the original host. In any case, this little white flower was thoroughly tormented by the two brothers’ jealous competition.

Shen Wan sat beside Fu Qingman, drinking milk and pondering whether Mu Linshi would still bring Jing Ge over later.

Shen Wan looked up and noticed that Fu Qingman was studying her script while having breakfast, making various marks and notes. Her attitude was extremely serious. No wonder her wife won awards so easily; such a dedicated woman deserved them.

“What is it?” Fu Qingman looked up with a smile, noticing Shen Wan watching her. Especially with Shen Wan’s big, bright eyes full of an emotion that felt peculiar to her. Though she couldn’t identify the emotion, she could see that the other person was likely praising her in her mind.

“Actress Fu’s dedication is truly admirable. Even while having breakfast, you don’t forget to study your script. With so many notes, the blue and red circles and lines intertwining, it actually looks quite beautiful, like a lovely painting. No wonder you’re an award-winning actress.”

Fu Qingman laughed upon hearing this. This flattery was genuinely pleasing.

Though it was the same praise, it sounded different coming from different people.

When others praised her, it was usually three parts respect, three parts envy, and four parts fawning. Even if she just pretended to look at her script without doing anything, they would still praise her diligence. But Shen Wan’s praise seemed more sincere. Her flattering words, combined with her earnest gaze, made one feel she was speaking the truth.

Shen Wan: 188, did you see that? My wife’s lips curled up when I complimented her. Clearly, she’s very satisfied with my flattery.

188: You’re so shameless.

After breakfast, Shen Wan said she wanted to leave with Fu Qingman. She knew Fu Qingman was heading to the set, and this room would probably be checked out. It wouldn’t be good for her to stay here.

188: Have some dignity. You just want to go down with her and spend more time together.

As the door opened, both Shen Wan and Fu Qingman instinctively looked towards the opposite door. They saw it was already open, and at the same time, an angry shout came from inside, causing both to pause and observe what was happening.

“Who told you to come in?”

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Mr. Huang. I’m truly sorry.”

It was Mu Linshi’s voice, filled with panic. “I’m sorry, Mr. Huang, for disturbing you.”

“Then why aren’t you getting out quickly?” Mr. Huang roared. Footsteps were heard approaching, and soon a pale and disheveled Mu Linshi emerged, with Jing Ge following behind, looking quite calm.

He wasn’t afraid of any Mr. Huang. First, he was already an award-winning actor; a mere Mr. Huang wasn’t someone he needed to fear. Second, he was from the Jing family; Mr. Huang wouldn’t dare provoke him.

He had been standing further back earlier, so Mr. Huang probably hadn’t seen him. Seeing everything inside, he didn’t feel like reminding Mr. Huang of his presence. Observing Mu Linshi’s behavior, he fell into deep thought.

Mu Linshi hung her head, saying softly, “I’m sorry, Actor Jing. Shen Wan must have checked out of the room. I didn’t expect Mr. Huang to be staying here.” Mu Linshi gripped the room key tightly, her expression somewhat twisted. Shouldn’t Shen Wan and Mr. Huang have been inside? Why was Mr. Huang with a strange woman, and she had walked in on them at such an inconvenient moment? Now Mr. Huang probably wouldn’t let her off easily, let alone give her any good resources.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with Shen Wan, sneaking away without telling me, causing Actor Jing to encounter such an embarrassing situation,” Mu Linshi muttered softly. Even at this point, she didn’t forget to smear Shen Wan’s reputation.

She had booked this room for Shen Wan, so why was Mr. Huang here? Shen Wan had been in this room before, so why did she leave secretly? If Jing Ge hadn’t seen Shen Wan standing at the opposite door, he might have started thinking based on the information Mu Linshi provided. Was Shen Wan like some other small-time celebrities who would do anything to get ahead, approaching that fat Mr. Huang? If so, it would have been very disappointing.

Mu Linshi hung her head, pretending to be wronged, completely unaware that Shen Wan was right across the hall. She kept complaining about Shen Wan, while Jing Ge and Fu Qingman’s expressions grew increasingly strange. Although such things were commonplace in their circle, Mu Linshi’s inner thoughts being laid bare still made people feel peculiar.

Shen Wan pinched her chin, blinking her eyes as she glanced at Jing Ge, with no intention of interrupting Mu Linshi.

“I hope Shen Wan isn’t involved with Mr. Huang as I imagine, otherwise I’d be really disappointed,” Mu Linshi said, finally looking up, only to see Shen Wan staring at her with beautiful, wide eyes.

Mu Linshi’s face instantly flushed red. If there had been a crack in the ground, she would have gladly sunk into it.

“Shen… Shen Wan, why are you here? Didn’t you leave?” Mu Linshi struggled to compose herself, her mind racing to figure out how to turn the situation around. But in such a short time, how could she come up with any way to reverse the situation?

“Who told you I left? I just moved to a different spot,” Shen Wan said, stepping aside to reveal Fu Qingman to Mu Linshi.

Seeing Fu Qingman, Mu Linshi nearly cried out. If Fu Qingman had been a man, she might have been able to say something, but she was a woman, and an award-winning actress Mu Linshi couldn’t afford to offend. At this point, she didn’t dare look at Jing Ge. Anyone who wasn’t a fool could piece together some guesses from what was just said. Even if they couldn’t guess about her deal with Mr. Huang, their impression of her would be at rock bottom.

“Why are you with Actress Fu? You didn’t even send me a message or call, making me worry for nothing. But why was Mr. Huang in the room?”

Right, there was still Mr. Huang to consider. Mu Linshi’s eyes darted about. No matter what, how did Mr. Huang end up in the room she had booked for Shen Wan?

Shen Wan blinked, “How would I know? I was drunk last night. All I remember is a drunk person stumbling in in the middle of the night. I beat him up, and just then, Actress Fu heard the noise and came in to help me throw that drunk out of the hotel. Later, I was really out of it, and Actress Fu took me back. This morning, she told me she couldn’t find my room key last night, so she brought me to her room.”

Shen Wan glanced towards the room across the hall and said softly, “I guess Mr. Huang found my room key, saw no one inside, and decided to use it. Who knew such a big shot would be so frugal?”

Fu Qingman: Shen Wan did all the beating; she just passed by and didn’t lay a hand on anyone.

188: What’s the use of explaining in your mind? If you’ve got the guts, expose her!

Fu Qingman: I don’t dare.

“By the way, why did Actor Jing come here?” While Mu Linshi was still in shock, Shen Wan asked the most crucial question.

Before Mu Linshi could react, Jing Ge put his hands in his pockets, walked up to her, and looked down at her, bending slightly. His somewhat sexy voice drifted down, “Didn’t you invite me to discuss the script?” At the same time, his warm breath wafted over her face, causing Shen Wan to quickly step back.

Shen Wan frowned, “Did I? I was originally planning to go back to my hometown to pay respects to my ancestors during these few free days. I can assure you, I really didn’t invite you to discuss the script, Actor Jing.”

Mu Linshi, feeling like an ant on a hot pan, quickly said, “I told Actor Jing that you wanted to discuss the script with him.” Before Shen Wan or Jing Ge could speak, she continued, “Maybe, maybe I misunderstood. You were in such a state last night, I actually took your words seriously.” Mu Linshi bowed apologetically to Jing Ge, “I’m sorry, Actor Jing. It’s all my fault for caring too much about Shen Wan and taking her words at face value, rashly bringing you here early in the morning. This mix-up is entirely my fault.”

[188 clicked his tongue, “Wan Wan, this Mu Linshi is quite skilled. Even though everyone knows what’s really going on, at least she’s saved face on the surface.”]

Shen Wan’s face remained expressionless: “Does that matter to me?”

“Shen Wan, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault.”

Shen Wan nodded magnanimously, “Alright, I accept your apology. In the future, don’t be so rash in your actions. Be more careful and attentive, and you won’t have such mix-ups. This time it’s just a nobody like me and a magnanimous person like Actor Jing who won’t hold your mistake against you. If it were a petty, bad-tempered big shot, see if you wouldn’t be in hot water. Knowing your mistake and correcting it is a great virtue. Learn from this mistake and don’t repeat it next time.”

Mu Linshi: This isn’t how she expected things to go.

Fu Qingman: She hadn’t seen this kind of situation before either.

Jing Ge: Interesting, this little woman.

Shen Wan: Dare to provoke me, and there will be even more interesting things to come. Just wait and see.
