Chapter 45
Daniel’s expression turned grim as he pursed his lips and continued watching. The way Stella handled
her expressions was immaculate. With so many lines, she merely took two minutes to memorize them
all. Furthermore, the proficiency of her lines did not seem like someone with no acting experience.
Until her performance had ended, no one on set spoke a word. Although Stella was confident in her
abilities, she could not handle every expression in every passage appropriately in such a short time.
Hence, she could only do her best. Daniel did not comment on whether it was good or not. Instead, the
people beside him whispered something into his ears. He then lifted his gaze and said to Stella, “You
should try this other scene.”
Stella’s eyes brightened slightly when she saw a little hope. Otherwise, they would have told her to leave

was not the previous character. Instead, it was the third female lead in the script, the role of a consort.
This character was different from the generic female supporting character from before. The consort was
born in the Prime Minister’s household. She was beautiful and willful. She relied on the king’s favoritism
to dominate the palace to the point that the Queen consort also feared her.
When she faced off against the female lead, she was ruthless and clearly malicious. However, she was a
delicate and clingy siren in front of the emperor. She could act coquettish yet have a tantrum. The
contrast the character had was strong. If she could handle it appropriately, this character could be very
endearing.
‘But, was the role of the third female lead set? Why did Daniel let me try this scene?‘ Stella thought.
Although she had questions deep inside her heart, she did not ask them out loud. After memorizing the
lines, she lifted her head. “I can start now.” Daniel nodded his head and motioned for her to start.
Stella conjured the correct emotions and then lifted her gaze. An arrogant presence emerged
immediately from her nonchalantly. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, and she completely
complemented the words of exquisite beauty. There was no doubt that she had dominated the palace
with her beauty.
Everyone was in awe of her charming expression and her soft tone. Whoever saw this would be in awe.
Even if the king was here, he would be in awe. After finishing her scene, it was silent again.
Stella now had a little more courage due to auditioning for two different scenes. Personally, she liked the
character of the consort. The character settings were well developed, but such an important character
was most likely not given away willy–nilly. She would still be content if she got the part as the fourth
female lead.

after a few minutes. If he wanted to sign her, it was unavoidable for him to check the actress’s
background. Especially when he was afraid that if something went wrong amidst their filming, their
project would be done for before it was even broadcasted.
Stella pondered for a few seconds and told him the truth. “It was because of a marriage.”
Daniel was shocked, as he did not expect it to be due to marriage.
Another moment of silence struck. After a while, Daniel spoke, “Leave your contact information. If we
have any news, we will inform you.”
After walking out of the room, Stella felt her heart rate slowly return to normal. However calm she was
when she was in front of Daniel, the same amount of anxiousness was in her heart.
Felicity had never left. When she saw her come out, she quickly ran over to Stella. “Why did you go in for
such a long time? If you didn’t come out any time soon, I would’ve called the police!
