After filming a whole day, Jasmine dragged her exhausted body and went back to her room. Although non-stop filming made her exhausted, compliments given by the director and Edward were lingering in her ear. "Ha ha, I’m gonna conquer them with my performance skills, making Edward know that I am not a woman depending on men, and also make those people like Amanda who has been gossiping about me know my strength." She thought.

However, what Jasmine didn’t know was that sometimes women’s jealousy would blind everything including rationality, truth, and even conscience.

Jasmine was woken up by the cellphone ring before dawn the next day. "Hello! Who is that?" She was so sleepy that she picked up the phone with her eyes closed.

"Jasmine, you fool, get up!" Said Edward. Knowing that Jasmine was still on bed, his voice became soft over the phone. "Get up and come to the dressing room. You will do the scene later."

"Well, well, well, I’m getting up now." said Jasmine. Although she was rather upset, hearing Edward’s voice, she gathered her strength at the thought that there were several scenes to shoot the next second. She would rather not get slack at filming.

"I will ask my assistant Brad to pick you up. That’s it, and no more stalling." Said Edward. He hung up and started rehearsing his lines. After all, it was his career to play, and he did not want to embarrass himself by forgetting his lines in front of the woman he loved.

Jasmine hung up and started dressing herself up. She was a little panic, because she was not very familiar with her lines today. Edward would jeer at her if she embarrassed herself in front of him. It was their tacit understanding that they couldn’t bear to lose face in front of each other.

After dressing up, Jasmine saw Brad outside immediately after opening the door. "Let’s go, Miss Shu. I will show you the way to the dressing room." Brad said and led the way ahead.

Arriving at the dressing room, Jasmine saw Edward surrounded by several supporting actresses. Some were asking for instructions of performance skills from him, and some others were going through lines with him. "You are just a servant girl in the background. What the hell lines do you need to go through?" She was speechless, then found a seat far away from the crowd to sit, started rehearsing her lines, and wait for the makeup girl.

Amanda, sitting on the other side, saw Jasmine, and uttered a snorting laugh. "Now you are pretending to be morally lofty. Why didn’t you watch your manners while hooking up and flirting with Edward? What a bitch! Wait and see how I will make you suffer while rehearsing the play later!" She spoke to herself.

Jasmine sneezed out of blue while rehearsing her lines. She wondered whether someone had been thinking about her.

As time went by, Jasmine finished make-up and her lines. Then it was time for her to play matters of the heart. It was mainly about how she was upset about falling in love with her saviour at first sight and the scene of a girl in love.

It was a piece of cake for Jasmine, and it only took one take for her to satisfy the director. In a blink of an eye, she showed a girl’s desire for love and shyness fully. Both the director and Edward had a look of full satisfaction on their faces.

Amanda was rather depressed, but not worried. Because for the next scene, she would have a chance to give Jasmine a lesson. Although she needn’t go into battle personally, those little girls had had a deal with her.

According to script, it made the young lady rather upset that falling in love with her saviour at first sight, for she had been engaged. How could she miss another man every day? A little servant girl saw the young lady yearning for love, and went to inform the madam in charge about it. The madam could not tolerant this daughter of concubine who didn’t behave herself. Immediately, she sent servants to catch and torture the young lady cruelly, and tried to find out who the big hero in her mind was.

While Jasmine was preparing for the scene, the director came and said, "Jasmine, there will be physical conflicts and abuse in this scene. Do you want a stand-in?"

"No, thanks. Anyway, they won’t beat me for real. I will go for it my self." Said Jasmine. She thought it was time to show her performance skills, and turned down the director’s suggestion. What she didn’t expect was that she would be set up.

"Scene Four, action!" With the order from the director, the scene was being shot.

The young lady, played by Jasmine, was grasped in pain by two old female servants, and the madam was standing in front of her. It was the face of the malicious madam that was being filmed.

"You shameless little bitch! How dare you talk about the name of another man every day!" The madam shouted abuse on her face.

"I didn’t..." The young lady retorted weakly.

"How dare you talk back to me!" The madam pulled out the young lady’s hair, which made Jasmine so painful that she felt that her scalp was being torn off. However, the director didn’t call out cut. Not willing to ruin the scene, Jasmine gritted her teeth and decided to get it over.

Then a servant girl beside brought a rod and was beating the young lady. According to the script, Jasmine began struggling. However, the harder she struggled, the tighter her hair was pulled. And her arms were grasped in pain also. Someone stepped on her foot while she was held together by all the servants.

"Ow..." Jasmine couldn’t help calling out. However, the director and others outside didn’t see that her foot had been stepped. They thought she was improvising and interpolating lines.

After a period of chaos, the young lady wasn’t tortured by servants any longer. The madam pretended to beat her several times, warned her, and then turned around and left with all the servants, leaving the young lady getting on the floor helplessly.

The shooting of this scene was finished, but Jasmine had pains all over. Why did the old female servant grasp her so tightly, her arms must have been scratched and burned. And so were her feet and hair. None of them was shot by the camera. Nobody would believe that she had been set up, and they would only think that she was too delicate to act in this rough play.

"Alas." Getting dressed, Jasmine felt like going to the toilet. She felt a little depressed for she had nobody to talk to about her grievance. If Jenny was told, she would have worried about herself. As for Edward, the big rascal, he could only make a mess. Jasmine had to bear it at the moment.

"Hey, is this our leading actress?" Jasmine was stopped by someone on her way to the bathroom. She raised her head and found it was Amanda. "Is she coming finding fault with me?" She thought.

"Our leading actress has been exhausted for the second day. Hehe, you are really a freshman playing by the hidden rules. Let’s see how many days you could hang on!" Said Amanda. She gave a provocative smile and then rampaged outside.

Jasmine felt relieved. It was lucky that Amanda didn’t come for a fight, because Jasmine had been tortured and exhausted. "Is it her who has arranged all of there? I have to watch out in future. It is all Edward’s fault, for he flirts with women everywhere. A stand-in would be necessary. Otherwise, I would be set up but could do nothing about it." She thought.
