Chapter 317: Chapter 317: She is Determined to Get This Role

Wait, if he’s coming, does that mean the CEO is coming too?!

The CEO, with his myriad of daily affairs, actually came to the audition site to supervise in person, showing how much importance he placed on this audition. Well, it’s no wonder—after all, they’ve invested a hundred million. Who wouldn’t take that seriously?

She had to bring her A-game, focus fully on this audition, and try to make a good impression on the CEO!

"..."

Pang Kai, whose support for Ye Xian had turned to disdain, didn’t respond upon hearing his voice, and with a haughty twist of his head, he asked the site director, "What role is Ye Xian auditioning for?"

"The supporting male character, Shen Jinyou."

"Then hurry up and get him into costume. Once he’s ready, send him on stage."

"Okay."

Upon hearing that Ye Xian needed to be dressed up, Meng Jin hurriedly tried to curry favor with Pang Kai by asking, "I’m also here to audition for a supporting male role. Do I need to get into costume too?"

Who are you? With such an aged appearance, coming here to audition for the youthful and beautiful Shen Jinyou of Desert North?

Aren’t you still dreaming, thinking Star Entertainment’s major IP is some low-quality online drama?

Pang Kai didn’t even bother with him and turned to leave.

Meng Jin: "Eh..."

"Ye Xian, come with me to the makeup room."

The site director called Ye Xian into the makeup room.

Ye Xian sat in front of the makeup mirror, looking at the ancient hairstyle wig and silver long gown in the hands of the costume and makeup artist, and silently marveled at the grandeur of a big production, which even made a small audition such an event.

This role was hers to win!

"Conquest of the World" tells the story of the Desert North Dynasty under the incompetent rule of the Emperor, where the people’s lives were in ruins, and living conditions were dire. Unable to bear the suffering of the people, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance who always had the world in his heart, secretly stored grain and raised troops, waiting for the right moment to start a rebellion and overthrow the Desert North Dynasty.

However, the plan was leaked by a traitor, and upon learning of this, the Emperor of Desert North planned to kill the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, Xia Chongming. But since Xia Chongming was backed by the Four Major Sects and the Eight Great Clans, he was not easily touched. So the Prime Minister offered the Emperor a strategy: he sent the Eldest Prince, Gu Tianlin, to infiltrate the leading sect—Hengshan—and assassinate Xia Chongming and seize the legendary treasure "Qiankun Cover." It was said in the Itinerant World that whoever possessed the Qiankun Cover would rule the world.

Thus, the Eldest Prince, Gu Tianlin, under the guise of an ordinary person, became a disciple of Xia Chongming in Hengshan Sect and met Xia Chongming’s daughter—the female lead, Xia Qingshao, and the story unfolded from there...

The Eldest Prince, Gu Tianlin, was the male lead, and the role that Ye Xian was auditioning for was the supporting male character—Shen Jinyou.

Shen Jinyou was the son of the Empress of the Desert North Dynasty, Shen Jialin, yet he was not born to the Emperor, Gu Weixiang. The third Emperor of Desert North, Gu Haoyuan, who was Gu Weixiang’s own brother, had taken the renowned beauty Shen Jialin as his concubine. Envious of her beauty, Gu Weixiang lusted after her, and so he killed his brother, usurped the throne, and forcibly took Shen Jialin, against all opposition, elevating her to the status of Empress.

However, by that time Shen Jialin had been pregnant for over four months. Aborting the child would endanger her life. Though Gu Weixiang was exceedingly affectionate towards her, he couldn’t tolerate the bastard child in her womb and vowed to eliminate it after birth to soothe his nerves. To protect her child, Shen Jialin, on the day of delivery, colluded with the midwife in a "cat and mouse game" to smuggle Shen Jinyou out of the palace.

As fate would have it, while the midwife was fleeing with Shen Jinyou, they encountered soldiers on a manhunt. In desperation, she left Shen Jinyou in a small nest in the forest.

Fortunately, he was discovered by a kind elderly couple passing by, who adopted him and saved his life.

Shen Jinyou inherited the genes of his mother, Shen Jialin, and was exceptionally handsome from a young age, exhibiting a distinguished and elegant demeanor by the age of eight or nine.
