Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

After making a fortune, Shen Wan had two days left before returning to the country. She promptly asked 188 to find out where Fu Qingman was. They learned that Fu Qingman was currently filming. This time, she was working on an excellent movie with a meticulous director who preferred real locations over post-production effects, striving for perfection.

The filming location was atop a mountain, boasting truly spectacular scenery. Remarkably, amidst the misty peaks stood a lush bamboo forest.

Upon learning this, Shen Wan decisively shouldered her small backpack, ready to “accidentally” encounter Fu Qingman on the mountain.

As a relatively unknown small-time artist who had only participated in a handful of productions with minor roles and minimal screen time, Shen Wan could walk down the street without being recognized. If people looked at her, it was mostly because of her attractive face.

Shen Wan, with her tiny backpack, ascended the mountain at lightning speed. Her rushed demeanor made 188 feel something was amiss.

[188: “Wan Wan, are you in a hurry?”]

“Of course I am. You didn’t pay attention to the plot, 188. Luckily for you, I’m not a picky host. If it were someone else, you’d have been unbound and sent back for reforging by now.”

188 felt a bit depressed by this rebuke and hurriedly checked the plot. Sure enough, he found something unusual. At this very moment, Fu Qingman was supposed to perform a dangerous stunt. She was always a daredevil when it came to filming. That day, despite being on her period, she chose to complete this high-difficulty action. Unexpectedly, her body weakened, and she couldn’t support herself. While filming a scene climbing up a slope, she made a mistake and crashed into a rock wall, injuring her arm.

After reading this, 188 felt a bit guilty. He had been busy lately, with his partner often inviting him to watch movies and play games. He couldn’t always refuse, could he? Regarding the plot, he knew Shen Wan would ponder it repeatedly until she had practically memorized it, so he hadn’t been as diligent. Feeling somewhat ashamed, 188 promptly focused on managing Shen Wan’s investment projects.

Come to think of it, Wan Wan had been really good to him. From what his partner told him, many hosts were particularly unscrupulous. He was already a very fortunate system. So, he decided he must do something substantial for Shen Wan, striving to create an awe-inspiring big shot investor identity for her. To avoid arousing suspicion, he had to do more work to make everyone believe Shen Wan was mysteriously powerful, without doubting the legitimacy of her money.

When they finally learned the truth about Shen Wan, they would only realize, “Ah, she’s so good at showing off because she’s a big shot herself.” 188 thought gleefully, growing more excited as he pondered.

Shen Wan was unaware of all this as she raced towards the mountaintop.

The mountain was tall, attracting many hikers. However, the path was not easy to navigate, and those in poor physical condition wouldn’t choose this place for recreation. Many areas remained undeveloped to preserve their natural beauty, with only a small path constructed.

It took Shen Wan two hours to reach her destination.

Although the filming area was cordoned off, her status as a small-time artist still allowed her entry.

When she found Fu Qingman, the actress was wrapped in a long coat, sipping brown sugar water from a cup, her face somewhat pale.

Fu Qingman found Shen Wan’s appearance strange. Seeing her casual attire, she assumed Shen Wan had come hiking and, knowing about the filming, decided to show her face. Perhaps if the director noticed her, she might get a chance to substitute for a small role actor in case of any last-minute issues.

“Finished paying respects to your ancestors?”

Shen Wan nodded as she sat beside Fu Qingman, “I came back yesterday. Actress Fu, you look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?”

“It’s fine, just those few days every month,” Fu Qingman said casually. “I’ll drink some brown sugar water and feel better soon.” After years of filming, she had encountered all sorts of situations. As for injuries, while she hadn’t suffered any severe ones, minor injuries were inevitable during a shoot. If one couldn’t handle this level of hardship, they might as well quit the industry and certainly wouldn’t deserve the title of award-winning actress.

Shen Wan felt Fu Qingman’s hand, which was ice-cold even while holding the cup. “Actress Fu, your hands are so cold. Why don’t you rest today?” Although she knew it was unlikely, she still had to say it.

Fu Qingman shook her head, “I’m in most of the scenes throughout the film. If I delay for a day, I’ll be holding everyone up.”

Since she was in nearly every scene from start to finish, essentially being the main female lead, she really couldn’t afford to delay. Without her, everyone would have to stop for a day. The conditions on the mountain were already harsh; staying an extra day meant enduring more hardship. In such circumstances, who would want to sit around leisurely enjoying the scenery?

Shen Wan didn’t try to persuade her further but instead asked about the next scene Fu Qingman would be shooting.

Fu Qingman explained, “There’s a rather dangerous shot coming up…” She indeed mentioned the scene Shen Wan had read about in the plot, requiring her to be suspended by wires and leap up a steep cliff face. If Fu Qingman were in good physical condition, this action wouldn’t be too challenging for her. But with her current state, an accident was bound to happen.

“Can your body handle it now? Why not use a stunt double? When your physical condition doesn’t allow it, using a double isn’t a big deal. It’s faster that way, and the director won’t mind. Many stunt doubles have martial arts backgrounds and are very professional with their movements. Actress Fu, you’re working so hard, you’re not giving the stunt doubles a chance to earn their living.”

Fu Qingman chuckled. Using a stunt double wasn’t really an issue, but she rarely used them except for particularly intimate scenes. She could handle dangerous stunts herself, but she could never accept very intimate scenes and almost always used a double for those.

So she wanted to retort that her body did have work to do and wouldn’t be unemployed.

“I’m used to doing these actions myself.”

Seeing that Fu Qingman hadn’t given up on performing the stunt herself, Shen Wan pulled out a small package from her bag. “Then, Actress Fu, please wear these on your arms and legs. They’re arm and leg guards.”

Fu Qingman touched them, recognizing what they were. These were much thinner than ones she had seen before, and the color closely matched skin tone. Moreover, she was quite thin, and this role was in period costume, so wearing the guards underneath wouldn’t affect anything. Considering her physical condition, she didn’t refuse. She put on the arm and leg guards, thinking that if anything unexpected happened, they would indeed protect her limbs.

“Why do you have these things with you?”

“I bought them before, originally for my own use, and just happened to put them in this bag. I just remembered, and now Actress Fu can use them. You helped me last time, and I haven’t thanked you yet. Of course, these small items aren’t enough. After you finish filming, let me treat you to a meal.”

“Alright.”

Fu Qingman was already putting on the guards. She felt her arm, and it was as if she wasn’t wearing anything at all, with a cool sensation. She wondered what material they were made of. Her subconscious told her these things were definitely not cheap.

188: Of course they’re not cheap. Things from high-level space, how could they be inexpensive?

Shen Wan stayed on set, and since everyone saw her familiarity with Fu Qingman, they didn’t dare show any strange looks, treating her with kindness instead.

Shen Wan was naturally sociable. As people talked to her, she chatted away, and as they got to know her, the attitudes of those around her improved.

When Shen Wan went to watch Fu Qingman film, the people around even saved her a good spot.

Finally, it was time for Fu Qingman to shoot that scene. The director was initially worried about Fu Qingman’s physical condition, but seeing her perfect execution of the movements, his brow unfurrowed. If it really wasn’t possible, he would have been willing to use a stunt double. Although the shot might not be as perfect as it was now, even the most perfectionist person would take a step back when it came to safety.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, something went wrong with Fu Qingman. Her leg, which was supposed to be planted firmly on the cliff face, seemed to lose strength, causing her entire body to crash into the rock wall. The wire control team hadn’t anticipated this situation, and even with emergency measures, Fu Qingman had already hit the wall. The incident had occurred.

By the time they reacted, worried screams erupted from the set.

They planned to pull Fu Qingman up, but she seemed to be stuck and couldn’t be moved.

In this situation, they could only lower someone down to bring Fu Qingman up.

While they were discussing strategies, Shen Wan had already taken a rope from her bag, tied one end to a tree at the top of the cliff, and nimbly leaped down, drawing everyone’s attention.

When they saw her movement, the crowd became noisy again. By the time the director’s team was ready to go down, they discovered Shen Wan had already reached Fu Qingman’s side and was helping her with something.

Fu Qingman’s face was completely pale. Seeing Shen Wan descend beside her with just a rope, she opened her eyes and found it quite incredible.

“Actress Fu, are you alright?”

“I’m okay. Thankfully, I had the guards you gave me earlier. I managed to block the rock wall with my arm, so I didn’t hit my head. My arm’s a bit numb, but I don’t think I’m injured.”

“Oh, that’s good. You’re stuck between rocks now. I’ll get you out.”

“Ah, being too thin isn’t good either. See, you can get stuck in rock crevices. Next time, remember to eat a bit more. Your face is small, which is very photogenic. Most of the films you shoot are in period costume, so having a bit more flesh won’t matter.”

Fu Qingman, who should have been worried about how long she’d be stuck there, couldn’t help but laugh at Shen Wan’s words.

Shen Wan took out her tools, a small hammer and chisel. She tapped the surrounding rocks with the hammer, continuously hitting the chisel’s base. As pieces of rock fell away, Fu Qingman felt the area where she was stuck loosen, wondering how she had gotten stuck in the first place.

“You can move now. You can pull Actress Fu up.”

Hearing this, the people above confirmed that Fu Qingman’s body was indeed free to move, and they quickly controlled the wire, carefully pulling her up.

Shen Wan, of course, used the rope tied to the big tree, leaping up effortlessly and nimbly, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

Without any safety measures, she just climbed up holding a rope? It was too amazing; her arm strength must be incredible.

The director noticed this too, narrowing his eyes. Actresses with such beautiful movements were rare indeed.

The director asked Shen Wan to complete the previous action for Fu Qingman. Neither Fu Qingman nor Shen Wan was surprised. This time, Fu Qingman didn’t push herself, agreeing to use a stand-in, though this stand-in had become Shen Wan.

Shen Wan was more than happy to oblige, flashing a row of neat white teeth that nearly blinded those around her.

Building goodwill was just that easy, incredibly so.

“Be careful,” Fu Qingman cautioned.

“I know, I’ll be careful. Thank you for your concern, Actress Fu.”

Fu Qingman nodded with a smile, believing that even without her, this shot would be perfect.
