At the end of the chat, Chu Cheng became provocative. Ji Qingzhou was only chased by girls when he went to school. Nowadays, girls talked more directly and always stood in front of him and said, “Ji Qingzhou, I like you, can you associate with me?” Like Chu Cheng, they also used a few ancient poems.
When Ji Qingzhou heard the end, he could only sigh with emotion that Chu Cheng’s literary accomplishment was good and listened shyly.
Chu Cheng felt that he was about to finish reciting Du Fu’s poetry collection on his side, but the person at the other end of the phone didn’t say anything, so he asked, “What’s the matter with you just listening and not talking? Give me a response, too. “
Ji Qingzhou:? ? ? Why did he need to reply? ! Chu Cheng teased him, he still had to tease back? ? ?
This was really too difficult.
Ji Qingzhou thought for a moment and tentatively replied, “I hope people will live for a long time and have a wonderful life together.”
“It’s not the Mid-Autumn Festival yet.”
“Then, I send my sorrow and worries, following the wind to the west?”
“Worried?”
“The heart that worries about missing you.” Ji Qingzhou acted out a full play.
Chu Cheng felt good, “It’s not too bad. All right, you go to sleep. I have some things to deal with first.”
“Well, then you should go to bed earlier.”
“If you were in my bed now, I would definitely go to bed early.”
“… Goodbye!” Ji Qingzhou hung up the phone and was puzzled for the first time. Had Chu Cheng really never been in love before? How could he be a novice in love when he said flirtatious words so smoothly? The gap between the novices was also too big, Ji Qingzhou felt that he needed improvement.
Ji Qingzhou put his mobile phone on the bed and was preparing to sleep when he heard the phone ring. He reached for it and looked at it. He saw that Chu Cheng sent him a WeChat message: The wind howled in the autumn of August, so sleep with me as early as possible.
Immediately followed by an anime villain holding flowers, Ji Qingzhou felt it was a little cute, he saved the picture of the villain, and then responded to Chu Cheng, “Leave Du Fu alone.”
“Then do you promise?”

Chu Cheng: Do you still want to fly out?
Ji Qingzhou: I don’t. I was talking nonsense.
Ji Qingzhou: Denies Third party. JPG
Chu Cheng: That’s more or less the same. Pack up your little wings and go to bed.
Ji Qingzhou: Then you should go to bed earlier.
Chu Cheng: Hmm
Ji Qingzhou saw that he no longer answered, put down his cell phone, laid back in bed, and soon fell asleep.
On the third day, the production team officially released Zhuang Xiangyang’s official publicity picture. Ji Qingzhou logged on to Weibo to forward it, only to find out that the official publicity picture sent by the crew were not what he imagined.
Looking at the picture, he was surprised. He even took out the photos taken by his mobile phone at that time and compared them. He was sure that the picture was not as real as the one that had not been edited. Zhuang Xiangyang in the picture had been edited badly, and his face had been shaped. Even the arc of his smile was not natural, which was not only unlike him, but also inexplicably a little more girly.
When Ji Qingzhou opened the comment area, he saw some comments: “He’s too girly. He’s not like a male god on campus. He’s a female student on campus.”
“I used to think Chen Jiyuan was average, but now I’d rather choose Chen Jiyuan.”
“The book fans cried with their true feelings. What they liked most in the original book was the role of Zhuang Xuechang. How did they choose such a new person to play it? The new person has no acting skills. Isn’t it selling his face? This face is not good either.”
“I cried when I hugged the book upstairs. I really shouldn’t have asked too much for the low-cost online drama. I pity my senior Zhuang.”
“Fortunately, I liked Zhang Fei when I read the book, and when I look at him, Chen Jiyuan is absolutely gorgeous.”
“Chen Jiyuan’s own beauty value is average. It depends on his peers. After all, he is a man.”
” Zhuang Xiangyang has no fans? Choosing a person like this, ha ha ha ha, it’s a dog in the sun!”
Ji Qingzhou looked at the series of bad comments and did not know what to say at the moment. He felt that he shouldn’t. How come the photos after adjustment was not as good as the photos before adjustment? However, the official announcement poster was right in front of his eyes. Even if he did not want to believe it, there was no way out.
He felt a little lost unconsciously. He was still looking forward to today’s official announcement. He also agreed with Chu Cheng to send the official announcement to him. It was better not to do so now.
Ji Qingzhou asked Zhou Chengfeng, “Forward?”
Zhou Chengfeng frowned at the apparently distorted photos on his mobile phone. This should not be the case. The official publicity poster was the audience’s first impression of the play. In order to make a good impression, the crew’s graphic editor would try to make the actors look better to attract more viewers.
However, Ji Qingzhou’s poster was no longer a question of whether it had been edited well or not, but it had been demonized with obvious malice- It was obviously not edited in a good way. Ji Qingzhou may not have known what this meant, but Zhou Chengfeng knew very well- The male lead felt threatened, so he was reducing the threat.
Zhou Chengfeng had a headache. Chen Jiyuan was the biggest actor in the production team. He even beat the heroine. He was not bad, but he was just good. He was not handsome enough to be amazing, nor did he make people feel that he was indispensable. Besides, his acting skill was mediocre. So far he had only been a second-tier actor.
If one only looked at his face, Ji Qingzhou was indeed much better than him. However, Ji Qingzhou was, after all, a newcomer. Zhou Chengfeng did not expect that Chen Jiyuan would be so cautious that even a newcomer like Ji Qingzhou, who didn’t have any fans in the whole network, yet he guarded against him and did such things before the drama started.
“Forward it, the official blog tagged you. It is not appropriate for you not to forward it.” He stood up and gathered his coat. “You sit here and wait for the show. I’ll go out and smoke a cigarette.”
“OK.” When Ji Qingzhou saw Zhou Chengfeng saying that, he forwarded his Weibo post and said, “Grow up in the sun and go against the wind.” According to the words on the official poster. “Hello everyone , I’m Zhuang Xiangyang.”
Soon some fans of the book arrived at the bottom of his Weibo post and issued a serious protest.
“No, you are not.”
“Are you Zhuang Xiangyang? ? ? Look in the mirror first to see what you look like. “
“Don’t flatter yourself. The description of Zhuang Xiangyang in the original book is: gentle, with tender eyes, which makes people feel like spring breeze. As for you, when I look at you, I only feel the chilly autumn wind, which makes me feel cold!”
“Garbage crew! ! They found an 18th tier actor! I’m going crazy! “
“Who are you? Disgusting. How dare you say you are Zhuang Xiangyang? You are absolutely disgusting.”
Ji Qingzhou looked at these comments, did not speak, turned off his Weibo, put his mobile phone aside and concentrated on reading the script.
When Zhou Chengfeng found the editor of the production team, the photo repairer was watching the video. He handed over a cigarette and said, “Can I have a word?”
The editor recognized him as Ji Qingzhou’s agent, and knew why he came to find him. He looked around and saw no one nearby. He whispered, “It’s not easy for you to be an agent, and it’s not easy for our crew. I know what you want to ask me. Ji Qingzhou and I have no enmity or hatred. Everyone will see what he looks like when the drama is released. I don’t need to do such a thing. I can’t help it. “
“Because of Chen Jiyuan?”
The graphic editor smiled. “I didn’t say anything, but the male lead should be the male lead. If the male lead is flattered, everyone praises the male lead.”
Speaking of which, Zhou Chengfeng also confirmed that it was really Chen Jiyuan. He understood the reason of the incident, did not embarrass the editor, added him on WeChat and left.
Chen Jiyuan was the male lead of the drama. Ji Qingzhou had just started his career. Zhou Chengfeng did not intend to let Ji Qingzhou and Chen Jiyuan play hardball. However, Chen Jiyuan had a good foundation. Ji Qingzhou’s face was there, and it could be easily beaten with only a face showing. Zhou Chengfeng wanted to think, he decided to play it by ear. He would use Chen Jiyuan’s little action to give Ji Qingzhou a batch of face fans before the drama broadcasted.
Ji Qingzhou did not take long to sit in the rest area and came to act his scene. This scene was Zhuang Xiangyang’s first encounter with Wei Wei Jiang. Wei Wei Jiang entered her freshman year, pulling the luggage and carrying large bags. It was very difficult to walk all the way. It happened that Zhuang Xiangyang was one of the freshmen this year and helped her carry the bag to the dormitory building. Wei Wei Jiang therefore had a hazy feeling for this gentle and handsome senior.
Zhou Ling, who played Wei Wei Jiang, was a new actress who started her career two years ago. She was not tall, only 1.61 meters tall, but she was very cute. A baby face was very suitable for the positioning of the campus idol drama. At this time, Zhou Ling pulled the suitcase in her left hand, two bags in her right hand and a large backpack on her back according to the script.
The director shouted “action” and Zhou Ling began to walk along the school road. She walked with great difficulty and stopped to rest from time to time. Ji Qingzhou and the group acting as his classmates came along the other way, just to see Zhou Ling struggling. He asked his classmates to leave first, walked over alone and patted Zhou Ling on the shoulder.
Zhou Ling got a fright and turned around. She saw Ji Qingzhou looking at her with a smile. He was very good-looking. When he didn’t smile, he was a bit chilly. When he laughed, he looked like a peach blossom in March. He said softly, “Dear fellow student, I am one of the volunteers responsible for picking up new students this year. Can I help you?”
Zhou Ling nodded, with her heart beating frantically, it was no wonder that Wei Wei Jiang had a crush on Zhuang Xiangyang, if Zhuang Xiangyang looked like this, she would also have a crush on him ah.
The scene was very simple, Zhou Ling acted naturally, and Ji Qingzhou was more natural than she was. When he went to school, he studied acting, and he was good-looking, so at first all the students in the class thought that he entered the school through his face. It was not until he introduced himself that everyone was surprised and said, “So you are Ji Qingzhou.”
No wonder everyone was surprised, because that year, Ji Qingzhou was the first in the art exam, more than ten points higher than the person who got second. Later, the teacher who taught him once said to him, “In acting, some people are given food by God and some are given food by ancestors. you belong to the first kind.”
Before Ji Qingzhou could be happy, the teacher added, “But do you know what is the easiest thing to do for an actor like you who is quick in acting, full of sensitivity and good at figuring out the characters’ hearts?”
That got me angry. Poor Ji qingzhou, wishing ML to avenge our mc.
Thanks for the chapter🌸
Thanks for the chapter!😘
Thanks for the chapter 😀 lolol I wonder how the ML will react to the photos if/when he sees them xD
I guess they don’t have the budget to change his face while filming, so wtf was the male lead thinking???
Ah I just realized, it’s useless if he is not thoroughly edited JQZ with CG/deepfake him in live act…
Right? and this is a low budget type of thing so no way do they have the money to CG his face to be uglier than the male lead! So what kind of pit does the male lead have for brain to do this??
My guess is “pull aggro”.
Lol I’m gonna wait for Chu Cheng to find out what happened
Thanks for the chapter! 🙂
Thanks for the chapter! ^ ^
that drama male lead’s actor wants to be excluded from future job offers apparently… yikes
This little cannon fodder is going to regret this
That’s dirty but not only is it easy to counter, the source is easy to trace. Seems like a foolish move and could damage the show for everyone?
Thanks for the great translation ♥️
Thank you so much for the chapter!(๑´>᎑<)~♥️
And here comes the darkness of entertainment circle…hope there will be a suitable counterattack.
Thanks for the chapter.
Ah ah poor Ji Qingzhou ;_;… let Chu Cheng get revenge for you when he finds out !!! (hopefully with no negative effect on the show itself…. though I guess even without Chu Cheng’s intervention, the fans will probably be cursing and swearing at the production team once the drama comes out ~~~)
Thanks so much for the chapter!!
Pfft, with this move I can see that our dear ML actor’s brain has some serious problems lol You will regret it sooner or later, don’t worry. But maybe he’ll just blame JQZ for it and don’t reflect on his own misbehaviour bc no brain, you know? xDD
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
Hi Hanni, I am Allen from Indonesia.
If you don’t mind, can I translate your work into Indonesian? I will credit you ^^
You know this isn’t western when you can trash talk other people’s appearance without getting dragged to hell by the internet
Thanks for the chapter!
are you actually serious lol
That Chen Jiyuan is ridiculous. Ugh.
Chu Cheng is too smooth at flirting! Ji Qingzhou’s heart Will be moved really soon.
Thanks for the chapter!
One way to face-slap:
getting an anon post in a forum or in weibo a face of real ji Qinzhou side by side with main lead, and tagging the show with the topic/headline “what the hell happened to the photo of the new actor? Main lead got threatened by supporting character?”
Or just leak real photos of the cast with JQH and main actor side by side. That would probably be good enough. Except the hate could be targetted to the producers… but imo they’re partially responsible
Thank you for translating 💕💕💕
Thank you for the chapter 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Chen Jiyuan is just too petty. Sigh. Feeling threatened by another rookie. Really? Smh.
Thank you for the update ❤️
Reader: Ohh our MC has it hard!
ML: Wait until he’s back, and you can say it again.
MC: (;;;・_・)
Thank you for the chapter!
Thank you very much for the chapter ❤❤❤❤
I hate it that everyone involved in the entertainment industry ever is so malicious but I guess real life is like that too 🙁
JQZ doesn’t deserve that. He just wants money LOL
I really enjoy the novel. Thanks for the translation <3
Thank you for your hard work
Using poems to confess my feelings to my crush aaaaaah thank you Chu Cheng laoshi!
I kinda hate that ML(눈‸눈)
Thaaaank yooouuu foooor theeee chaaaapterrr!!!
he’ll get stuck in a character much easier than other people. actors that are this kind should not take roles like psychopath, crime victims and etc.
not the mnet evil edit treatment
Da Chu do your thing 🙂
I remember now in the author’s note of the other novels of the author… Chu Cheng appeared and he is really good in poems 🤣
But i didn’t expect the MC of this novel is… naive and… pushover? Completely unlike in the MCs of the author’s other novels. 😕
