As soon as Feng Dongdong handed her the script, Tian Jingzhi worked hard on studying her character.

Tian Jingzhi almost fell in love with the screenwriter after reading halfway through the script. This story is simply Xue Lingqiao's biography. She squinted, bit her nails, and giggled while Xue Lingqiao was sitting quietly on the sofa reading. Unaffected by her creepy laughter, he can be regarded as a model of a century-old single otaku.

“Who do you think turned me into a monster?... No, no, I shouldn't sound too proud... Who do you think turned me into a monster?... Was that too pitiful? Maybe a little more of a frustrated tone... Who do you think turned me into a monster?"

She held the script in one hand and drank coffee with the other while reciting the same scene over and over.

Xue Lingqiao finally raised his head and looked at her with his limpid eyes, “Do you need me to go back to my room?”

“No need, am I disturbing you?”

“Yes.”

“You really aren’t polite, are you?”

“Since you are doing this on purpose, why should I be polite to you?” Xue Lingqiao put the book aside and stretched out his hand, “Give it to me.”

Tian Jingzhi hesitated for a moment. Although she didn't know what he wanted to do, without thinking,she still carefully placed her hand in his palm. 

“What are you doing?” Xue Lingqiao was dumbfounded, “Give me the script.”

“Ah?” Tian Jingzhi suddenly woke up and laughed to cover up her embarrassment, “Oh, yes, the script.”

Xue Lingqiao took the script and looked at it seriously.

Tian Jingzhi clenched her hands nervously like a primary school student, “Which annotation do you think would be best for that sentence?”

Xue Lingqiao answered truthfully, “None of them.”

“Please respect the profession of a dedicated actress, okay?” Tian Jingzhi understood that this old monster had never even seen TV before, so he naturally didn't know anything about acting. She explained to him patiently, “Although I’m just a little lacking in the acting department, with hard work, I’ll be better.”

“With just hard work?” Xue Lingqiao gave her a light glance, “Do actors have such low standards?”

“Hey, you don’t really think I don't have any acting skills, right? I was being modest when I said that I was a little lacking! Who can't act?” Tian Jingzhi said while making a corresponding expression, “Happy! Anger! Sorrow! Surprised! How’s that?!”

Xue Lingqiao simply turned his head and did not comment.

Tian Jingzhi insisted, “How is it? Are you stunned by my superb acting skills?!”

Xue Lingqiao was really stunned by her exaggerated and pretentious performance. He tactfully said, “Whatever makes you happy.”

Tian Jingzhi was currently very unhappy! She had finally met a man who lacked even more social skills than Feng Dongdong!

Xue Lingqiao returned the script to her and commented lightly, “Your role is good, if you play it well, you can be a tragic heroine.”

“Don't you think it's exaggerated?”

“Because your acting is too exaggerated.”

“How dare you!” Tian Jingzhi threw away her script, she was no longer in the mood to practice her acting. She went on weibo to feel the love from her fans. When she unlocked the screen, the laptop was on the forum paging discussing the Library God. She scoffed, “You really are not exaggerating.”

Seeing her about to close the tab, Xue Lingqiao stopped her in time, “Don't close that page, I'm trying to find a way to contact someone.”

Tian Jingzhi didn't believe it, “There’s someone you know who is still alive? Might be easier if you request a necromancer to revive the dead.”

“A stranger, but her great-grandfather probably knew me.”

“Wha?”

“Someone commented that I looked exactly like a person in her great-grandfather's paintings. If that's the case, then I may have really known her great-grandfather more than a hundred years ago. So I wanted to contact her, to see if her great-grandfather has any other relics that may guide me to find the enemy.”

Tian Jingzhi snorted, “Wow, what a coincidence.”

She picked up the script again. The more she read it, the more upset she became. The second female lead was a monster, but she is not a monster. How would she know how monsters thought? Her eyes landed on Xue Lingqiao, oh yeah, there’s already a monster in her home.

Tian Jingzhi coughed twice, “Monster Xue, let me ask you a question. How did you become immortal?”

“Let me reiterate, I am human, I’m not some…”

“Got it, got it. You're human, a human being. I've said it eight hundred times, you seem to be so narrow-minded." Tian Jingzhi interrupted him impatiently, “the trend now is to have nicknames for everyone, you don't know? Hurry up and answer my question first, Monster Xue.”

Xue Lingqiao responded with another question, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to know anything about me?”

Tian Jingzhi gave an excuse, “I just didn’t want to know anything about your revenge plan. Besides, for the sake of art, I can make sacrifices.”

Xue Lingqiao carefully confirmed Tian Jingzhi through her expression. Seeing her sitting cross-legged and looking at him seriously, he nodded and slowly fell into the memories of his long past.
