It is about palace drama. The female lead is a low level concubine. She will fight her way up to the top.

Her goal is to become a young Empress.

Cheng Yi waits with the other contestants for audition.

Some of them look a lot older than him. Others are around his age.

Assistant director glances at the actors waiting for audition.

He snorts and comments, "We have stated clearly in the requirements. Those folks above eighteen years old, please leave this place."

Half of the contestants leave the spot. Their agencies send them here although there is very slim chance to be chosen.

The role is for unfavorable young prince. He is sixteen years old.

The assistant looks at the leftovers. He points to three of the contestants.

He comments, "Sorry, you don't fit the descriptions. You look too old and bulky for the role."

The chosen ones grit their teeth. They force a smile before leaving the spot.

Only five persons left. They all glance at each others. All of them have fair skin, slim built and young inexperienced faces. Like students in idol dramas.

"Good. We have sorted out the candidates. You, go in first."

The first one gulps. He walks into the audition room. He stammers in the process. He lowers down his head when it's over five minutes later.

He won't be chosen. Everyone knows it. His acting skills are worst than a newbie. He needs to hone up his skills first.

None of the others show good acting skills. The last one is Cheng Yi.

The director sighs. Maybe he should ask for actors from a good acting school.

The assistant orders, "Page thirteen. Act when you are in love."

The young prince falls in love with a Concubine belonged to his older brother.

Cheng Yi closes his eyes. He imagine his Gege when he opens them again. He smiles sheepishly to the director.

"You... You're so beautiful..."

The director says with his manly voice, "Thank you. No one ever said that before to me."

The young prince looks surprised.

He asks shyly, "Really? I'm the first one. But... You are beautiful. Better than anyone in this place."

"Ninth Prince. Don't say such words. People would accuse me for being arrogant."

It's weird for heroine's lines told by a fatty man.

The director nods his head. This seedling is useable. He isn't hopeless like other actors shoved into set.

He concludes, "You got this role. Perform well. My assistant shall send the schedule for you."

Cheng Yi bows his body. He says his gratitude to the director and his assistant.

There is notification on his phone. He just received payment for the ads.

Two thousands yuans might be a penny for Ren. It's a lot of money for Cheng Yi.

He sends a message to Ren. Asking him to dine together tonight.

Cheng Yi goes home and washes thoroughly. He washes his dark hair. He combs meticulously as if he's going for an important job interview.

His Gege looks handsome although he only wears jeans and white T-shirt.
