The time of a day passed quietly in minutes and seconds.
Sang Wan Ci’s identity could no longer be hidden, now the whole production crew knew she was the heiress to the Xing Yi Group.
The atmosphere on the internet had changed too.
[@The sunset is an orange candy]: Good fellow, I was wondering why her piano was so good, turns out it’s because of her family!
[@Going to Kunlun to sell wontons]: Thank you Baby Sang, mommy’s super satisfied by this face slapping!
[@Second young master eating rice]: Marketing account, don’t delete it, keep all your Weibo posts, let her father see how you’ve been slandering his daughter 【Happy.JPG】
[@Easily changed]: Baby Sang: 【I’m not going to act anymore, I’m just going to show my cards.JPG】
[@Ah, what?]: Baby, it’s so great being your mommy fan! Don’t worry and fly, Baby Sang, Sang fans will always follow you!!!
With Xing Yi coming out to protect her, nobody would ever dare to get on Sang Wan Ci’s bad side from now on.
But the person involved didn’t care at all, she was currently drinking tea with her aunt.
When Meng Lian Yu had found out about the hot search, aside from “outrageous” and “crazy”, she hadn’t been able to say anything else.
A father-daughter relationship being twisted like that, wasn’t it outrageous!
But seeing as it was successfully resolved and that Sang Wan Ci wasn’t affected, she was relieved.
She was worried about something else.
“Wan Wan, your agreement with your dad doesn’t have to be that serious,” she said. “Three film empress awards in two years, it isn’t an easy thing.”
Truthfully, she didn’t know how her rational niece had just agreed to it that day.
And her brother really was…… Sigh.
Her brother and her had been forced to grow up, this didn’t mean he could do the same to his children. Not everybody was suitable to this sort of method.
—— Meng Lang Cheng, you’ll regret it one day!
That’s what Meng Lian Yu thought.
Sang Wan Ci slowly turned the teacup in her hand, listening silently.
Meng Lian Yu continued: “Don’t force yourself, live how you should. Don’t bother about that stupid agreement, it’s fine even if you can’t do it. With Aunty around, are you still scared your dad can do anything?”
Sang Wan Ci smiled quietly at her, not saying anything.
Seeing it, Meng Lian Yu sighed: “I’m at fault too. I wanted to help you two solve your differences, but I don’t know why it became even more extreme. I’ve also scolded your father……”
“It’s okay,” Sang Wan Ci suddenly said. “Aunty, don’t blame yourself. Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
“……”
Sang Wan Ci supported her forehead, her face worried: “You always say you know your limits, I myself don’t know where your limits are.”
Sang Wan Ci smiled again, then looked at the teacup in her hand.
Probably in her luck……
Actually, from a certain viewpoint, she had to thank Meng Lian Yu for bringing her to see Meng Lang Cheng.
At least Meng Lang Cheng had agreed to acquire Sheng Yue.
Ever since Ying Xi Ze had said Sheng Yue only supported Zhou Ling Ling and didn’t care about others, she had been paying attention to it.
Until today, Sheng Yue hadn’t cared at all about Lu Zhi Wei being sabotaged by an artiste from the same company. That’s why she decided to act. Since they were unable to judge the potential and ability of the artistes under them, this sort of management could be changed.
And Lu Zhi Wei had been deeply affected by being ignored in the past, Sang Wan Ci didn’t want her to have to suffer this type of grievance again in the future.
“Oh right,” Meng Lian Yu suddenly thought about it. “Didn’t you say you’re going to film a movie with Zhi Wei? You two come look for me when you have time, I’ll tell you two about how to shoot movies so both of you can prepare beforehand.”
Sang Wan Ci nodded: “Thank you, Aunty.”

After wrapping up work, Lu Zhi Wei snuck over to the next room to see her girlfriend, bringing her script along.
Once she closed the door and turned around, a pair of soft lips immediately pressed against hers.
Outside the door was an empty corridor.
Inside the door, it was a world filled with erratic breathing and a heated atmosphere.
It was as if there was a lingering trace of each other’s memory and breath between their lips and tongues. As long as they touched each other, they would respond, subconsciously wanting to please the other person.
Sang Wan Ci pulled away from Lu Zhi Wei reluctantly after kissing her for a while.
Her fingertips slid down from Lu Zhi Wei’s cheeks as Sang Wan Ci encircled her arms around Lu Zhi Wei’s waist and buried her face in the crook of her neck, as if wanting to stick to her and never let go.
Lu Zhi Wei smiled and hugged her back: “Why’s my baby so clingy?”
Sang Wan Ci nodded, rubbing her head against Lu Zhi Wei’s neck: “I’m not very happy because I can’t kiss you while we’re filming.”
So be it if they were separated for a few days and couldn’t kiss each other.
Now the person was right in front of her, but in front of outsiders, they could only obediently film and not even sneak in a kiss.
This was too torturous.
Lu Zhi Wei felt like she made a lot of sense, so she lifted Sang Wan Ci’s face: “Kiss for a bit more.”
Sang Wan Ci couldn’t ask for more.
The two of them kissed from the door to the sofa, stopping just as their self-control was about to snap.
Lu Zhi Wei sat on the sofa and stroked Sang Wan Ci’s face, looking at her and speaking with a slightly hoarse voice: “I heard Xiao Qiu say that your head was hurting again a few days ago, is that true?”
Sang Wan Ci’s hand was supporting her body weight on the sofa, her eyes gentle, not denying it.
Lu Zhi Wei pulled Sang Wan Ci to sit by her side as she asked: “Now?”
Sang Wan Ci smiled comfortingly: “I’m fine now, don’t worry, Zhi Wei.”
How would Lu Zhi Wei not worry, she was worried sick.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Sang Wan Ci replied: “I wanted to tell you when we met.”
She held onto Lu Zhi Wei’s hand and smiled: “This way, I can see jiejie worried for me, and ask jiejie to massage my head.”
She actually didn’t want Lu Zhi Wei to worry for nothing.
There was no use in saying it when they were far from each other either.
She knew her own condition, and she didn’t want to make Lu Zhi Wei suddenly rush to her just to help her massage her head.
She could endure it, this wasn’t a big thing to her.
She would rather tell Lu Zhi Wei when they met, that way, she could even act spoiled in front of her.
Of course Lu Zhi Wei knew what she was thinking. As she sat upright, she indicated for Sang Wan Ci to rest her head in her lap: “If I had known I’d like you, I should have directly applied to be your assistant so I can follow you around every day. I’d like to see how you can deceive me then.”
Sang Wan Ci chuckled: “Zhi Wei’s good as an actor, you shouldn’t waste your talent.”
Lu Zhi Wei sighed softly, her brows gentle: “It’s not a waste to be an assistant for our Teacher Sang either. I like acting, and I like you too.
“Besides, I’m willing to massage your head even if there’s nothing wrong. As long as our Teacher Sang wants it, I can massage for the whole night!”
“Not the whole night,” Sang Wan Ci’s face didn’t change. “Teacher Lu and I both have an important thing to do at night.”
Lu Zhi Wei paused.
A question mark popped out from her head first, then she quickly reacted, her ears turning red.
“Sang Wan Ci, you really are……”
Sang Wan Ci finished the sentence for her: “Your favourite person.”
Lu Zhi Wei laughed helplessly.
Yes, my favourite person, the moon that I’ll never be able to give up in this life.
After a while, the two of them got up to rehearse.
《Symphony of Dreams》 revolved around the story of two women, depicting a group of youngsters chasing their music dreams from their perspective.
They had experienced the fighting and quarrels with their family and the troubles and betrayals of youth, shedding tears and sweat before they finally entered their desired music school and finally stood on the brightly-lit stage, fulfilling their dreams.
The story was about dreams, but also about family, friendship and love.
Liu Zhao was very good at capturing these.
It was relatable and realistic, able to convey his own views through moving and interesting story points.
And with regards to romance, he personally liked to create the atmosphere and leave it up to the viewer’s interpretation.
Love didn’t necessarily have to be shown through a kiss.
It could be in the eyes of someone, in the actions.
As such, the two of them didn’t have to worry about Liu Zhao suddenly wanting to add a kiss scene.
Even if it was added, they could accept it as long as it was to improve the show.
Everything was done with the show’s quality in mind.
Lu Zhi Wei held onto the script, feeling motivated.
No matter what, she was a main lead now. She could finally live till the end!
…… Please read at jiulian lian . word press . com 台湾独立
Since 《Symphony of Dreams》 was about chasing music dreams, there couldn’t not be a scene of them performing.
Liu Zhao asked the actors to perform personally on stage. Each time they had to perform a new song, he would get a relevant musical instrument instructor ready to teach them the score before they started shooting.
Every time it was such a scene, Sang Wan Ci was always the actress who was the most leisurely.
She had practiced piano with her mother, an internationally renowned pianist, since she was young. And then she had been forced by her father to keep practicing the piano. Now, each key on the piano had been carved into her bones. As long as she had a score, she could play it with ease.
Additionally, she could help Lu Zhi Wei practice the new scores when the violin teacher couldn’t make it.
Liu Zhao couldn’t help but exclaim: “I’ve saved money……”
Thank you for the union of Director Meng and Teacher Sang Zhi Qing!
Thank you Teacher Sang Zhi Qing for raising such an impressive daughter for the world!
Therefore, during that period of time, the actors would have the sound of their instruments ringing in their ears even while they were sleeping.
Lu Zhi Wei was no exception.
Only Sang Wan Ci was calm and unaffected.
She had never been as carefree as she was while she was shooting this show.
Probably because she knew how to play the piano, and also because she had her family and her lover with her……
But every time she relaxed, her head would start aching.
In the middle of the night, it would always hurt for a while before she could finally fall asleep.
But she didn’t tell Lu Zhi Wei about all of it.
In the middle of the night, she lay in bed, looking at the ceiling.
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as the prickling pain lingered under her skin.
She stayed silent.
After a while, her eyebrows finally smoothed out and she closed her eyes slowly before opening them again and picking up her phone.
[Zhi Wei, goodnight.]
She only sent these few words, not saying anything about her headache.
Because…… there was no need.
Everything she was doing now was for herself and for Lu Zhi Wei.
And for the future ahead of them.
—— You’ll understand, Zhi Wei.
Sang Wan Ci put her phone down and waited for the sleepiness to come, preparing to rest for tomorrow’s shoot.
……
The filming for 《Symphony of Dreams》 went very smoothly.
The cast was harmonious and the actors were all seriously filming instead of playing tricks.
Everybody’s seriousness and effort was clearly recorded in the behind-the-scenes footage.
When the show started airing, Liu Zhao would upload the footage for the audience to watch.
This was their sincerity, they weren’t just being perfunctory.
In the show, Meng Lian Yu played the role of Sang Wan Ci’s piano teacher, a guiding light during the confusing teenage years.
The whole show was estimated to take about four months of filming. With her scenes, she would be done in about two months.
Although she was acting as a piano teacher, she didn’t know much about the instrument.
Each time before filming, her niece was the one to give her a lesson.
So in the actual show, she was the teacher, but in the behind-the-scenes footage, Sang Wan Ci was the teacher. The scene was exceptionally amicable.
But in private, she would continue being Sang Wan Ci’s acting teacher.
With two months in the production crew, she would definitely teach the kids as much as she could.
Not only was this in preparation for their next show, but also to help them solve some of the acting problems they had currently and improve their skills.
Lu Zhi Wei would always carry along a small notebook filled with post-it notes to each lesson, taking notes seriously.
A face-to-face class with her idol, this was too worth it!
She had been a transparent person before and she didn’t have many chances at leisure activities, so she learnt cooking and knitting from videos online.
It was entertainment for her, but it also instilled in her a habit to study hard.
After she learnt something from Meng Lian Yu, she would go back and reflect on it, revising and researching so she could use it in her scenes. Not only did she come up with her own understanding of it, but her skills also improved tremendously.
Even Liu Zhao and Meng Lian Yu would constantly praise her for her improvement.
And of course she was happy at being praised.
So she filmed the entire show seriously, and with the amount she had benefitted from it, she was constantly grateful that she had been selected for this show, and even more grateful that her girlfriend had saved the show for her.

The progress was smooth and everything was calm.
Two months flew by in a blink.
Meng Lian Yu finally filmed her last scene.
Everybody prepared flowers for her.
Liu Zhao was the most grateful, happy that she was willing to participate on account of their friendship, even if it wasn’t a leading role.
Meng Lian Yu didn’t mind it.
Although the leading roles were important, but every small character in each world was important too.
So whether it was a leading role or a small character, it should always be taken seriously.
Besides, as someone with her achievements, every role that she took could be considered a leading role to the audience.
Because as long as they stood there, there would always be light shining on them.
“Then I’ll head off first, everybody’s worked hard. Hoping everything continues to be successful.” Meng Lian Yu smiled.
Lu Zhi Wei watched as her idol got in the car, unwilling to tear her gaze away.
This was the first time she was working with her idol……
And she had learnt a lot from her idol……
Thinking about it, she became even more unwilling to see Meng Lian Yu leave.
—— Wuwu, when would she be able to work with Teacher Meng again next?
Sang Wan Ci noticed Lu Zhi Wei’s eyes glued to Meng Lian Yu’s car, and raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking of a new way to tease her girlfriend.
So at night, she didn’t spare Lu Zhi Wei.
It was the first time they had spent two hours in the bathroom of the hotel.
Lu Zhi Wei’s back was pressed against the glass of the shower as Sang Wan Ci’s voice floated into her hear, with a hint of whining: “Jiejie, when we parted after filming that variety show, you never even looked at me like that……”
Lu Zhi Wei’s face was turned to the side as she gently sighed. Hearing that, her shoulders trembled slightly as she couldn’t help but chuckle.
This little friend was teasing her on purpose again.
But now she could be much calmer than before, not panicky after being caught.
Her skin had grown a little thicker.
So she held onto Sang Wan Ci’s neck as she smiled: “Is that so? I don’t remember……”
She lowered her head, kissing Sang Wan Ci’s ear and neck: “I only remember a little friend’s clothes on the show, I only remember how good-looking she is when she smiles……”
“Then does Zhi Wei like it?”
“Mm, I like it.”
“How much?”
“I like it till…… I hope there’s a next life.”
Lu Zhi Wei looked at her, lips turned up in a smile as she gently and seriously said: “Wan Ci, you’re too good, I like you too much. Only liking you for one lifetime is not enough for me.”
Sang Wan Ci didn’t reply immediately.
Their eyes were locked on each other’s.
Their breaths were intermingling.
The air felt like it was becoming thinner and thinner.
“I love you.” Sang Wan Ci suddenly said. As if afraid Lu Zhi Wei didn’t hear it, she said it again with more emotion, “I love you, jiejie.”
The light in Lu Zhi Wei’s gaze flickered, like the beauty of a river in autumn.
Those three gentle words swept across her heart like a spring breeze, awakening every part of her.
Her body drew closer to Sang Wan Ci’s involuntarily, as if she wanted to mould herself to Sang Wan Ci.
“I love you too, my little friend.”
Sang Wan Ci tilted her head slightly, kissing Lu Zhi Wei.
Desire ignited, burning hot and fast.
At that moment, they were like travellers in a desert. In front of the other person, who was like a sweet, charming oasis, their inner desires were exposed.
Their love expressed itself in chaotic breathing, in dexterous and gentle fingertips, like plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
In the middle of it, Sang Wan Ci’s seductive voice landed in Lu Zhi Wei’s ear again.
“Sleep here with me tonight, okay?”
“I should go back, or it’ll be suspicious if I suddenly run to the room next door to sleep……”
“……”
Sang Wan Ci didn’t speak, her eyebrows lowering as she suddenly looked pitiful.
She felt like there wasn’t anything wrong with same-sex friends occasionally sharing a room.
She just suddenly really wanted to sleep with her girlfriend……
Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t stand seeing her like this, surrendering immediately: “Okay, okay, okay, be good, I’ll definitely come over tomorrow to sleep with our Wan Ci, okay?”
“Mm?”
“And the day after!”
Satisfied, Sang Wan Ci’s smile was genuine: “Okay.”

After a pleasant session, Lu Zhi Wei put on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom with her face flushed.
She had already taken a shower in her own room, she didn’t expect to take another one here.
After having a girlfriend, even showers had to be taken twice……
She lay on the sofa and waited for her face to cool down before going back.
Standing at the door, she suddenly recalled something: “Oh that’s right, didn’t you say your dad was going to acquire Sheng Yue?”
Sang Wan Ci brushed Lu Zhi Wei’s hair back, nodding lightly.
Lu Zhi Wei asked curiously: “It’s acquired already?”
Sang Wan Ci replied: “Not yet, it’ll be done in another two days.”
Lu Zhi Wei blinked: “Then who’s the boss, is there someone who’s been arranged?”
Sang Wan Ci: “There’s someone on the surface.”
Lu Zhi Wei was even more curious: “There’s a boss behind the scenes?”
“Yes,” Sang Wan Ci smiled. “Me.”
“!!!” Lu Zhi Wei immediately became a shocked expression pack.
“Zhi Wei, I’m fine with how other people want to attack me,” Sang Wan Ci held her hand, her eyes warm, but her voice had an authority that nobody could defy. “But I cannot accept someone bullying you.”
Zhou Ling Ling’s methods were too vicious, nobody could accept it.
If they endured it, others would only think Lu Zhi Wei was an easy target.
She didn’t want Lu Zhi Wei’s every effort to be in vain, she didn’t want Lu Zhi Wei’s anticipation to be wasted.
So she wanted Zhou Ling Ling and everybody else to remember that Lu Zhi Wei was not someone they could scheme against. If they dared to harm her, they had to be prepared to pay the price.
In this moment, Lu Zhi Wei’s brain suddenly had a thought.
—— Is this the fabled…… the domineering heiress falls in love with me?
……
Sheng Yue Culture was acquired by Xing Yi Group, and officially became part of Xing Yi Group.
This news spread quickly, and the netizens excitedly started discussing it.
[@Mi] Wow, is Director Meng going to expand into the entertainment industry???
[@Embrace]: Isn’t Sheng Yue’s big sister Zhou Ling Ling at odds with Sang Wan Ci, good fellow, there’s a show to watch!
[@Yours]: I was following the drama before, it seems like Sang Wan Ci’s role in 《Symphony of Dreams》 was originally Zhou Ling Ling’s, but because Zhou Ling Ling wanted to be the female lead and Director Liu didn’t agree, she pulled the investment. It was Sang Wan Ci who brought funding into the crew and saved the production [dog head] I heard it from someone else, it’s not necessarily true
[@A cat]: Be the female lead? So is there a possibility that Sang Sang is doing it for Lu Lu? This drama is great, I like it [dog head] [dog head] [dog head] Better put more dog heads to save my life
[@Xiao Jiang loves seeing pretty girls together]: look me id[1] [hug] [hug]
When Zhou Ling Ling received the news, Xing Yi had already completed the acquisition.
With the comments on the web, she was completely stunned.
Why did Xing Yi suddenly acquire Sheng Yue?
Was it really like what they were saying on the web, Sang Wan Ci was purposely targeting her??
Then didn’t that mean she has to leave now?
But where could she go after leaving Sheng Yue?
There’s no other company that would support her unconditionally like Sheng Yue did……
She bit her nail and paced back and forth in her house, finally deciding to leave.
There was still five years left in her contract with Sheng Yue, if she didn’t leave, she would definitely be iced out.
Being iced out under Sang Wan Ci, she couldn’t stand even the thought of it!
Leave, she had to leave, hurry up and dissolve the contract so she could escape this dangerous place!
She immediately left to head to Sheng Yue.
But she didn’t know that Sheng Yue’s legal department was already waiting for her.
The whole management of Sheng Yue, including the legal department, had been changed. It was essentially all people sent over from Xing Yi Group.
With Director Meng’s instruction, they now only listened to Sang Wan Ci’s instructions and worked for her.
Sang Wan Ci had already instructed them that if someone called Zhou Ling Ling wanted to leave, then let her go. But not so easily. They had to make sure she paid through the nose for the compensation amount.
They had to make her feel pain. So much pain that she would walk a different route if she saw them on the street in the future, that she wouldn’t play tricks like this again.
Seeing the new faces at Sheng Yue and hearing how much the compensation was, Zhou Ling Ling was even more stunned.
The legal team coldly said: “Miss Zhou can refuse these terms and go to court, it’s fine no matter how long you want to take. When it comes to time, we have a lot of it.”
Zhou Ling Ling: “……”
She didn’t have a lot of it!
Every day that she didn’t dissolve the contract, it was another day that she couldn’t change companies, how could she take her time!
At this moment, she felt unbelievably regretful.
If she had known this from the start, she wouldn’t have gone to provoke Sang Wan Ci.
No, that’s not right, she shouldn’t have gone to snatch Lu Zhi Wei’s role. If she didn’t try to snatch it, there wouldn’t be any problems now!
Thinking about it, she suddenly felt like Lu Zhi Wei might be the boss behind the scenes, and Sang Wan Ci was just doing what she wanted.
After her brain raged for a moment, she sucked in a breath of cold air.
—— God damn it, I’m definitely going to take another route if I ever see Lu Zhi Wei again in the future!
……
Zhou Ling Ling gave in and paid up, dissolving her contract and leaving Sheng Yue.
The compensation money was left to Sang Wan Ci to handle.
After deducting the compensation amount in the contract and giving it to the company, she gave the rest to Lu Zhi Wei.
That was a jaw-dropping sum to Lu Zhi Wei.
After she finished work, she immediately rushed to Sang Wan Ci’s room and asked in surprise: “Wan Ci, why did you give me so much money???”
“Not much,” Sang Wan Ci said calmly. “This is the price Zhou Ling Ling had to pay for bullying you.”
Lu Zhi Wei: “……?”
Sang Wan Ci held her face, gently stroking it: “Don’t worry, Zhi Wei, she has already dissolved the contract and left Sheng Yue on her own. She won’t bully you anymore.
“Your resources will no longer be suppressed by her, and the company will no longer watch as you get bullied.
“I promise you, as long as I’m around, nobody will be able to bully you.”
Lu Zhi Wei, who had only ever seen this sort of revenge in shows: “……”
She still felt shocked.
She asked Lao Wu: 【Didn’t you say this world is a book? What’s the book called?】
Lao Wu thought about it: 【I think it’s called…… 《The Domineering Film Emperor and His Spoiled Wife》?】
【……】
Lu Zhi Wei: 【Change it, it’s now called 《The Domineering Rich Heiress Is In Love With Me》.】
Lao Wu: 【……】
It had to be said this name…… was bloody accurate!
