Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Shen Wan’s confident expression didn’t concern Jing Ge. She was just a newcomer in the industry, and even if she was clever enough to remember and practice the movements taught by the martial arts instructor, it didn’t mean much.

Actors without real training mostly put on a show, all flash and no substance. After all, these moves were designed to look good on camera, with post-production effects enhancing the final result.

He figured he could easily handle Shen Wan’s martial arts moves with his male strength.

It was a perfect opportunity to show this little girl that confidence was good, but arrogance without real skill was asking for trouble.

Some crew members noticed their behavior. Seeing them find an open space as if ready to spar, with Fu Qingman watching from the side, curiosity drew them to gather around, asking Fu Qingman what was happening. Even the director was attracted to the scene. He had originally planned to leave, as he usually wrapped up on time to have dinner with his wife.

But Shen Wan and Jing Ge’s stances suggested they were about to practice martial arts, which made him pause. Tomorrow’s scheduled scenes included a lot of fight sequences, which were relatively difficult to shoot. He was somewhat worried about whether Shen Wan could handle the complex movements, especially with wire work.

Since Shen Wan was also an investor in the film, the director was already considering contacting two capable stunt doubles to be ready tomorrow in case Shen Wan couldn’t complete her scenes.

After all, this wealthy investor treated filmmaking as a game, so she probably wouldn’t push herself too hard. Of course, if she didn’t need doubles, he was prepared for countless retakes. There was no choice; investors were big shots, and money talked.

“Qingman, what’s going on here?” The director’s name was Jin Peiquan, who had collaborated with Fu Qingman many times, so they had a good relationship.

Fu Qingman, without taking her eyes off Shen Wan, explained the situation to Jin Peiquan.

Hearing that Shen Wan had initiated the sparring, Jin Peiquan pondered silently and asked in a low voice, “Has Shen Wan trained before? Can she handle it?” He couldn’t help but wonder if Shen Wan’s small frame could really match up against Jing Ge. After all, Jing Ge was a grown man, standing at over 180 cm tall. Even a casual movement from him might be too much for her to handle.

He understood Jing Ge’s interest in Shen Wan but knew she wasn’t simple and hadn’t responded to it. He was just a director who liked making films, pretending to know nothing and not interfering with what the actors did, as long as it didn’t harm the interests of the crew.

“I believe Shen Wan can do it,” Fu Qingman said confidently. Just based on how Shen Wan dared to grab a rope and come to the cliff’s edge to help her, her physical skills must be impressive, even if that cliff wasn’t too high. Without extraordinary arm strength, no one would dare to do what Shen Wan did.

Fu Qingman’s confidence puzzled Jin Peiquan, but he decided to watch and see.

At this point, Jing Ge stood opposite Shen Wan, who had already taken her stance. At first glance, she looked quite convincing.

Both her posture and the few simple movements she made were very standard. From Jin Peiquan’s perspective, these movements were perfect and would look great on camera.

In contrast, Jing Ge stood more casually, one hand in his pocket, striking a very handsome pose that mesmerized the onlookers. He confidently flashed a smile at Shen Wan, his lips curled in a faint smile as if asking, “Can you really do this?”

Fu Qingman, watching from the side, inwardly scoffed. This presumptuous man really thought Shen Wan was like those women who would fawn over him with just a crook of his finger? She hadn’t noticed before, but now she found Jing Ge quite disagreeable. Wasn’t he just good-looking? Faced with a martial arts challenge, he was striking these flirtatious poses, looking lazy and scattered. No wonder Shen Wan disliked this guy.

At this moment, Fu Qingman hadn’t realized that in her mind, Shen Wan had become perfect in every way, while people like Jing Ge who had designs on Shen Wan were irritating and could do no right.

“Actor Jing, are you ready?” Shen Wan’s face broke into a smile. “If you’re ready, I’m going to make my move.” As she spoke, she cracked her knuckles, which made an audible sound, causing Jing Ge to be taken aback. Nevertheless, he nodded, still not taking Shen Wan’s words seriously, not believing she had real skills.

But when Shen Wan suddenly charged at him with a raised fist aimed at his face, he froze for a moment, instinctively trying to dodge. However, he couldn’t evade Shen Wan’s movement because it was too fast.

Jin Peiquan’s heart leapt to his throat. That face was expensive; it absolutely couldn’t be damaged. How would they film tomorrow if it was?

Shen Wan seemed to hear Jin Peiquan’s inner voice. Her fist, originally aimed at Jing Ge’s face, suddenly changed direction and struck his chest instead. She hadn’t used much force – at least, from her perspective, it was more like a tickle.

But Jing Ge, who received the punch, didn’t feel good at all. His chest ached. He had always thought a woman’s soft fist hitting his chest should feel warm and enticing.

Why did it hurt so much?

It felt like a hammer had struck his chest, giving him the sensation of having his ribs cracked.

“Actor Jing, it seems you haven’t done your homework well.”

Jing Ge snapped back to reality. Although he didn’t have real martial arts skills, he had learned quite a few showy moves. His mind raced through those movements as he tried to dodge Shen Wan’s attacks.

However, each of Shen Wan’s strikes seemed to anticipate his every move. If not hitting his chest, her fist would pound his joints, or when he attempted to counterattack, her small hand would instantly grip his wrist and twist it slightly, causing pain that nearly made him cry out.

With so many people watching, he couldn’t bring himself to cry out in pain. He endured it, though his face had turned ghastly pale. Fortunately, he hadn’t removed his makeup, so no one could really tell how pale he had become.

While the onlookers couldn’t see his complexion, they could clearly see that he was no match for Shen Wan.

Especially when Shen Wan’s simple movements struck his vital points, which he couldn’t dodge at all.

And when he tried to attack, Shen Wan could intercept his wrist, gripping it so he couldn’t move.

Everyone looked at Shen Wan in astonishment. Even the martial arts instructors who were watching nodded, “Her movements are very standard and powerful. She must have put in a lot of hard work recently.”

“Yes, among the actresses we’ve taught before, although their movements look good, none have the power that Shen Wan does. I think if her movements flow together, it will be much easier for post-production. The director won’t need to constantly switch camera angles and can shoot continuously. Her movements are incredibly fluid and cool.”

“However, Actor Jing might need more practice, otherwise it will affect the continuity of the movements.”

As the martial arts instructors discussed, Jing Ge was still trying to avoid Shen Wan’s attacks. Although he tried his best to dodge according to the previously taught movements, and Shen Wan didn’t change her routine from what they had seen in the video, for some reason, when he used these movements, they lacked power and couldn’t evade Shen Wan’s attacks.

But when Shen Wan used these movements, each one was not only standard and perfect but also full of power.

When her small fist swung out, he believed that if he didn’t dodge, a punch to his face would definitely cause swelling.

Yet every time Shen Wan’s fist was about to land on his face, she would avoid it, not hitting his face. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, that small pink fist would land directly on his chest, making him feel like his internal organs were about to be expelled.

In just five or six minutes, Jing Ge felt like an hour had passed. His forehead was covered in sweat, and the makeup on his face had started to cake.

Compared to Shen Wan’s unchanged expression, calm demeanor, and relaxed appearance, he was truly in a sorry state.

The scene was very quiet. Jing Ge felt tired, his movements becoming increasingly sluggish. Many times, if Shen Wan hadn’t pulled back in time, his face would have been hit countless times.

Although his face wasn’t beaten, other parts of his body, especially his chest, had been struck many times. The pain made him want to cough up blood.

And his knees – every time Shen Wan’s foot hooked around them, he nearly fell. But she would always grab his collar in time to pull him back up.

The onlookers watched silently, not daring to speak or discuss. After all, he was the award-winning Actor Jing.

Jin Peiquan’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, ignoring Jing Ge’s disheveled state. He had even eagerly opened his camera to record what had just happened. Even if it couldn’t be released, it would be nice to keep for personal appreciation. It seemed he wouldn’t need to hire a stunt double for Shen Wan after all.

As for Actor Jing, Jin Peiquan frowned. He was indeed handsome, but his movements were too showy, soft and lacking power. He shook his head. Well, nothing could be perfect. Having such an excellent female artist with great fighting skills was already very satisfying.

If only he could have a basket full of such wealthy, hardworking actors.

“Actor Jing, let’s end our sparring here for today. You’ve seen what I can do now. Are you satisfied?”

Jing Ge’s facial expression was extremely stiff. In fact, his back was already soaked with sweat, thankfully hidden by his jacket. But the sweat on his forehead couldn’t deceive anyone.

Everyone remained silent, pretending not to notice Jing Ge’s sorry state.

“Actor Jing, I’ll go have dinner with Actress Fu now. Let’s hope tomorrow’s filming goes as smoothly.” 

With Jing Ge’s mouth twisted awkwardly, Shen Wan bounced over to Fu Qingman’s side, linking arms with her and exclaiming, “I’m so hungry! Actress Fu, let’s go eat quickly. After that little workout, I’m even hungrier. I must eat a lot to have energy for filming tomorrow.”

The female artists watching silently touched their own stomachs. They wanted to eat more too, but if they gained weight, it wouldn’t look good on camera.

Looking at Shen Wan’s slender figure and hearing her talk about eating a lot, they wondered if she wasn’t afraid of gaining weight.

Jin Peiquan was also about to leave when he saw Jing Ge talking to two martial arts instructors. Listening closely, it seemed he had something to ask them. Jin Peiquan smiled to himself, guessing that Jing Ge had been humbled by Shen Wan. It was a good thing if it could make Jing Ge work harder.

Fu Qingman watched Shen Wan order so many dishes. They had filming tomorrow, so why was she eating such high-calorie food?

Seeing Shen Wan constantly stuffing food into her mouth, she finally couldn’t help but remind her, “You have filming soon. What if you gain weight?”

“I won’t gain weight no matter how much I eat.”

Fu Qingman saw her eating with her mouth full of oil and felt somewhat tempted. She liked these foods too, but she had always been mindful of her figure, afraid that gaining weight would affect her appearance.

“If you like it, just eat. Actress Fu, isn’t acting just a hobby for you? Why deprive yourself because of filming? Even if you’re afraid of looking bad in clothes after gaining weight, you can always spend two hours a day exercising or something.”

Fu Qingman was already convinced. She picked up a piece of fatty beef and threw it into the pot. The freshly boiled beef, accompanied by the flavor of the seasonings, was indeed delicious.

The taste was so good that Fu Qingman couldn’t help but eat five pieces before forcing herself to stop. Five pieces of fatty beef were already quite a lot.

“I have a set of weight loss exercises. Actually, I don’t gain weight because I do these exercises every day.” Shen Wan looked up with a smile. “Actress Fu, go ahead and eat. I’ll lead you through the exercises every day from now on. If you gain even one pound in a month, you can come beat me up.”

Fu Qingman was increasingly tempted. “Are those exercises really that effective?”

“High-intensity fat-burning exercises are naturally powerful. Doing them long-term can even strengthen your body. Look at me, aren’t I slim and in good shape? After practicing this, you’ll find action scenes much easier in the future. Trust me, you won’t gain weight. After an hour or two of exercise daily, all the oil will be gone.”

“Then I’ll have to try it. If I really gain a pound, you’ll have to take full responsibility.”

Shen Wan: Take responsibility? If you can’t act anymore, I’ll just marry you and take you home.

Fu Qingman was also a food lover, but most delicious foods were high in calories, so she had always been very restrained.

She didn’t think Shen Wan was lying to her, so she wanted to give it a try.

The silently observing 188 pondered thoughtfully. So Wan Wan was using these weight loss exercises to build a friendship with Fu Qingman, creating a meeting point between them? In the future, she might even use exercising together and eating as excuses to meet?

My goodness, she was so calculating.

This time, Fu Qingman ate to her heart’s content, even to the point of feeling stuffed.

Shen Wan suggested they go for a walk. Fu Qingman was in disguise, and makeup and disguise were simple for her. As long as she intended not to be recognized, there were many methods. Walking by the river, no one could recognize her.

After digesting, Fu Qingman eagerly grabbed Shen Wan’s hand. “My usual gym is just ahead. Why don’t we go do those weight loss exercises? I ate so much today, I don’t want to wake up two pounds heavier tomorrow.”

“Alright then.” Shen Wan was naturally very willing. The two walked arm in arm to the gym.

After a set of exercises, Fu Qingman felt refreshed all over.

Usually, after exercising, one should feel tired, but unexpectedly, she felt more and more energized as she continued. She already believed in the magic of these weight loss exercises.

After sending Shen Wan back, Fu Qingman still seemed reluctant to part. “Let’s meet up to eat again next time, and then go to the gym for exercises.”

Fu Qingman decided in her heart that she must make up for all those years of not eating her fill as an actress. Eating alone would certainly dampen her appetite, so she needed someone to accompany her. After much thought, Shen Wan was the most suitable.

Shen Wan flashed her pearly whites. “Sure, I love eating.”

The next day, it was time for Shen Wan and Jing Ge’s scenes together.

Both had changed into their costumes. Shen Wan was dressed as a female warrior, holding a long sword. The sword was real, though not sharpened. It wouldn’t cause injury, but it would still hurt if it accidentally hit someone.

Shen Wan stood gracefully in front of Jing Ge, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword.

Jing Ge put on the appropriate expression, but inside, he was panicking. Remembering yesterday’s experience, even after consulting with the two martial arts instructors, he wasn’t confident he could gain the upper hand against Shen Wan.

At this moment, the two looked as if they were about to engage in a real duel.

As the director called “Action!”, Fu Qingman quietly came to visit the set, standing in a corner watching Shen Wan leap into the air with her sword, attacking towards Jing Ge.

Jing Ge’s sword trembled at that moment, causing him to forget his intended reaction.

Naturally, Shen Wan’s originally perfect movement was interrupted. Jing Ge looked back at Jin Peiquan, pursing his lips and saying, “Sorry, it won’t happen again.”

“Alright, let’s prepare again.” Jin Peiquan knew that getting it right in one take wasn’t easy. Often, a single shot might need dozens of takes, and he wanted each shot to be as perfect as possible.

On the second attempt, Jing Ge finally managed to keep up.

He drew his sword to meet Shen Wan’s attack, but when their swords clashed, her strength was so overwhelming that he was forced to take a step back.

“Actor Jing, please pay attention here. In this drama, you’re playing a highly skilled master who keeps a low profile. When facing an opponent’s attack, you should remain unfazed, casually drawing your sword to block the attack. You shouldn’t step back; instead, your casual parry should repel your opponent,” Jin Peiquan explained seriously.

Jing Ge: Her force is as strong as a bull’s. How am I supposed to block that? Why don’t you try it?

Shen Wan: Amateur. Not every woman is yours for the taking.

In the original plot, Jing Ge had tormented the original host like this. Shen Wan didn’t go too far, planning to play around a bit before letting Jing Ge pass the scene.

Basically, she played with him for about ten takes per shot. When Jing Ge was sweating profusely and looking unwell, she would let him pass the scene easily.

By midday, Jing Ge felt both his arms were numb.

Because there were so many fight scenes, each of Shen Wan’s strikes against his sword sent vibrations through his arms, leaving them numb. The others looked at him strangely, thinking he was physically weak.

Weak? Damn it! How could these people know that this woman had the strength of a bull? His previous impression of her as a delicate flower must have been an illusion.

As they wrapped up for the afternoon, Shen Wan cheerfully bounced over to Fu Qingman, linking arms with her. “Actress Fu, let’s go eat. I’m starving after working all day. I need to eat a lot to replenish my energy.”

The female actors: “…”

Jing Ge, still rubbing his arms, could only watch helplessly as Shen Wan talked about going to eat.

Noticing his gaze, Shen Wan pulled Fu Qingman over to him. “Actor Jing, I’m sorry for any offense today. Why don’t you join us for dinner? My treat.”

An invitation?

Jing Ge was surprised but pleased. He still hadn’t given up his interest in Shen Wan. “Alright.”

188: Are you sure it’s alright? Is my Wan Wan really being so kind-hearted?
