Chapter 239: She’s back?
There were more than thirty minutes before the audition started for the movie ’Great Empress’ Love’.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t only because of the man’s status that made her feel devastated. It was because the man she fell in love with was not anyone else, but her imperial father’s head eunuch.
In the novel, the head eunuch was not much older than the princess. He was actually the youngest head eunuch in history and was even respected by the emperor because of his skillful abilities in handling the things the emperor orders.
The story would start when the young princess falls for the eunuch at first sight. Since then, she started to vie for his love, trying to get his attention through frequently visiting her father, the emperor. However, her love would soon be squashed when her own sister wanted to snatch away her first love. The young princess was heartbroken when the eunuch showed his interest in her sister. Out of her spite, she agreed to one of the many proposals her mother empress had forced her to. Thus, her fate should be sealed with her betrothed.
However, things didn’t end there because the moment the young princess got married, her family fell through and enemy started to strike. The royal family died and even her sister who was supposed to be living a happy life with the head eunuch didn’t have a good ending.
At the end, the princess found that the person who drove her family to hell and made them live a life filled with suffering was none other than the eunuch, who was actually a prince from another kingdom.
At the TV station where the auditions were being held, Several artists were already waiting outside of the audition room. Most of them were young actors along with some veterans sitting on the side.
A woman walked in the waiting room dressed in a flowy white qipao devoid of any other color. Her jet-black hair was loosely worn in a lazy bun at the nape of her neck. Apart from the necklace with a ring near her collarbones, there was no superfluous jewellery on her.
Upon her arrival, the people in the waiting room paused their actions out of curiosity when they heard the door opening. They first thought that it was someone from the production staff who came in and wanted to greet them to earn some points.
But when they turned their head towards the door, the were momentarily blinded. It was probably because the lights outside the waiting room were too bright because they were seeing some kind of halo surrounding the beautiful lady standing at the door.
"Senior Xu Lei?" an actress murmured to herself.
