In a photography studio in the Magic City...
Su Qianmo and Gu Chenan sat on chairs behind the camera, waiting for Liu Mingrui to change clothes.
Meanwhile, the director, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, with a prominent belly, kept his gaze fixed on the dressing room nearby.
Just moments ago, when Liu Mingrui arrived at the studio, she had left him speechless.
The reason was simple - Liu Mingrui's looks and figure were the most stunning he had ever seen in a female model!
Yet he had never even heard of such a beautiful model before. It was as if this Liu Mingrui had suddenly appeared in the Magic City out of nowhere!
"Liu Mingrui..." the director repeated her name, his eyes glued even more intently to the dressing room door.
At that moment, the dressing room door opened.
Liu Mingrui's long legs stepped out. She was wearing a light-colored dress, her face adorned with natural, elegant makeup. Her appearance instantly stunned all the crew members.
"She's so beautiful!"
"I've never heard of this model before. Is she new to the industry?"
"She must be, but one thing's for sure - her arrival is going to make waves in the Magic City modeling scene!"
The whispers of the crew reached Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo's ears.
"Mingrui looks quite suitable in that outfit. She looks pure yet alluring, like a ripe peach," Gu Chenan remarked with a smile.
Su Qianmo nodded, "I never thought Mingrui would actually agree to this. I thought someone with her personality would never agree to be a model."
She glanced at Gu Chenan, "She initially refused everything, right? How did you convince her after just one afternoon out? What method did you use?"
"Ah, haha," Gu Chenan laughed awkwardly. "What method could I use? I just persuaded her with my silver tongue."
"Hmm?" Su Qianmo felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
In fact, what Gu Chenan said wasn't entirely untrue. He did use his "silver tongue" to persuade Liu Mingrui.
To be honest, the hotel bed was quite soft.
Soon, the photoshoot began.
The on-site director was in full charge of this shoot. Originally, they only needed to capture Liu Mingrui's exquisitely sculpted face for this advertisement. However, upon seeing Liu Mingrui's impressive figure, the director decisively decided to include her full body in the shot.
Caiying didn't have a large cash flow, so the advertisement was set to be within thirty seconds. However, this thirty-second ad took a full two to three hours to shoot.
They constantly changed camera positions and adjusted shooting angles.
But Liu Mingrui's performance in front of the camera greatly satisfied the director. From start to finish, the director never once said that Liu Mingrui needed to improve anything; instead, he kept nodding in approval.
Liu Mingrui's highly professional performance even surprised Gu Chenan.
If he didn't know Liu Mingrui's background, he might have thought she was already in the entertainment industry.
Finally, with the director's call of "Cut!", the shoot came to an end.
"Thank you all for your hard work," the director stood up and bowed to everyone. Then, he took out his business card from his shirt pocket and approached Liu Mingrui, who was about to enter the dressing room to change.
"Hello, Miss Liu. I find your image and aura very much to my liking. This is my business card. If you're interested in working with me, feel free to contact me anytime."
Seeing the director's business card offered with both hands, Liu Mingrui was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hands.
"No, no, I'm not a professional model. I'm just here to help a friend."
"Huh?" The director was taken aback.
Not a professional model? How could someone who wasn't a professional be so skilled?
"Is this your first time shooting an advertisement?" the director inquired.
"To be precise, it's my first time in front of a camera," Liu Mingrui added.
Hearing this, the director's eyes lit up with amazement.
Her first time in front of a camera, yet she was so confident, elegant, and natural?
Add to that her stunning figure and breathtaking beauty!
This was truly a gift from heaven!
The director paused, then stood a bit straighter and said, "Miss Liu, I'm very interested in working with you. If possible, I'd like to sign a long-term contract with you. We can discuss the details further!"
"That won't be necessary," Liu Mingrui was about to say more when Gu Chenan walked over.
Hearing Gu Chenan address Liu Mingrui so intimately, the director immediately turned to him, "Hello, this Miss Liu meets all the conditions of a professional model. If possible, I'd like her to sign a long-term contract with our company."
Hearing this, Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow, putting on a look of amusement.
"Mingrui, what do you think?" Gu Chenan asked with a smile.
Liu Mingrui frowned, looking troubled.
To be honest, she had quite enjoyed the state she was in while shooting the advertisement. She had originally thought she couldn't do it at all, but unexpectedly found it came naturally to her.
The problem was, Gu Chenan had told her she was currently undocumented. How could an undocumented person sign a contract with a company?
"Chenan, can I sign?" Liu Mingrui asked.
This question wasn't about letting Gu Chenan make the decision for her, but rather to remind him about her identity issue.
Gu Chenan immediately caught on and said, "I'm sorry, director. Miss Liu is not in a position to sign contracts with any company at the moment. Perhaps we can discuss this another time."
Gu Chenan had only meant this as an excuse, but to the director's ears, it meant something else entirely.
Liu Mingrui had first asked Gu Chenan if she could sign, and then Gu Chenan said she couldn't sign with any company at the moment. What did this imply?
It implied that Gu Chenan was Liu Mingrui's agent!
Realizing this, the director suddenly held Gu Chenan in high regard.
To discover such a talented new model, what keen insight that must have taken!
"Sir, may I ask your surname?" the director inquired.
"Me? My surname is Gu," Gu Chenan replied truthfully.
"Mr. Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is my business card. If you're interested in collaborating with our company, please feel free to contact me anytime," the director respectfully offered his card with both hands.
Taking the card, Gu Chenan looked somewhat confused.
What did this mean?
Did they want him to be a model now?
Come to think of it, were his physique and appearance really that impressive?
...
Soon after, Liu Mingrui changed back into her clothes and left the dressing room.
"Do you want to go?" Gu Chenan, leaning against the wall outside the dressing room, asked as soon as she came out.
"Go where?" Liu Mingrui didn't understand at first.
Gu Chenan took out the business card and said, "To become a professional model."
Liu Mingrui rolled her eyes disdainfully, "Me, the young miss of the Liu family, becoming a model? Please, that's impossible no matter how you look at it."
As she said this, Liu Mingrui had already started walking away. But after a few steps, she suddenly turned back, "If it's about being a female celebrity, I might consider it."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes...
