Chapter 104 - The King’s Plan
The marquis of Cai, the ruler of the Cai Nation, was a lecherous drunkard. He took the princess of the Chen Nation as his wife. She was prone to jealousy, and her ways of handling matters was terrifyingly cruel.
King Wen of Chu then sent someone to spy on Madam Cai. She had a sister who was married to the marquis of Xi, the king of the Xi Nation. Madam Xi’s beauty could bring a nation to a halt. The news flew throughout the whole of ancient China.
But King Wen of Chu didn’t care about that. The spy he sent whispered about the happiness of Madam Xi into the ears of Madam Cai who was living an unhappy life; of how she was the pride and joy of Xi Hou.
That rekindled Madam Cai’s fire of resentment. Thus, she sent an invitation to Madam Xi as an elder sister when she was going to visit her parents.
Madam Xi already needed to pass through the Cai Nation in her itinerary. Naturally she couldn’t decline Madam Cai’s earnest invitation.
The sisters met. Madam Cai had always been envious of Madam Xi’s beauty since they were little. That fire only calmed down when she got married to a strong nation; but Madam Xi only got married to a small one.
But now her sister was living such a full life. She even bloomed into a more stunning person. On top of that, Madam Cai heard that the marquis of Xi listened to her every whim and fancy.
The fire of resentment in her heart burnt it black.
“Do you know who’s the director for this film? Do you know who will be playing as King Wen of Chu, the marquis of Xi and Cai, or even the marquis of Zhen who had lesser scenes?” He Wei suddenly asked.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t even hear about the news for this film. She shook her head honestly.
He Wei handed a form to her. She couldn’t help but gasp when she saw the names there. They were the names of the three biggest best actors for leading male roles, the director who stood at the apex of the pyramid in China, as well as an authoritative producer.
Even a supporting character like Madam Cai who only had some slightly important scenes was played by a famous star.
This was one of the strongest lineups Yun Xiangxiang had ever seen!
