Wen Xian’s current filming location is in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area, where there is a famous film city.

Compared to Beijing’s heavy snow and temperatures below minus ten degrees, the winters in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area are much warmer, although this warmth is limited to the outdoors.

Drizzling rain, temperatures just over ten degrees outdoors, and indoor spaces colder than outside are features of Hangzhou’s winter, due to the lack of northern heating.

Wen Xian’s character in this shoot is the heroine of a Republic era film; being the heroine doesn’t mean the character is entirely positive or negative.

The overall tone of the plot can be described as quite tragically beautiful.

In an era of war and turmoil, people’s livelihood suffered greatly, and romantic love weighed less than the higher call of national and ethnic duty.

Though Wen Xian’s role is a Chinese girl, at the age of ten, her parents were killed in a civil war, and she hated those people, vowing revenge.

Later, she was accidentally taken by a Japanese officer to China, and ten years later, she returns to her homeland.

Her foster father gave her strict training from a young age, ensuring she excelled not only in arts but also in medicine and martial arts.

He naturally knew why he had her learn these things, intending to mold her into a perfect killing weapon.

Everything proceeded smoothly, but an accident during a later mission left her gravely injured and falling into a river.

A man saved her then, but he fully saw her as an innocent and pitiable weak girl.

From that first meeting, she developed complex feelings for this man.

And she unexpectedly discovered that his identity was not simple; he was involved with a certain party.

By the time they met again, she was the daughter of a Japanese officer, and he was one of the recruits her foster father had gathered.

When they encountered each other, they both were startled, but given the unique circumstances, amidst the watchful eyes around, they quickly avoided each other’s gaze.

At the same time, she could sense that his aura was taut.

Because during their first encounter, she had unintentionally learned about his true identity.

He wasn’t just a regular recruit but an important figure within a certain party, so his presence there could only mean he was undercover.

He probably never guessed she would be the Japanese officer’s foster daughter.

When verifying every person’s identity, she didn’t expose him.

Because of this, their entanglement grew deeper and ultimately, she sacrificed herself to protect him.

...

When a scene was finished filming for Wen Xian, the staff quickly covered her with a thick coat, and she stomped her feet, breathed into her hands, and hurried into the nanny van.

Once on the van, she saw two missed calls and one missed video call on her phone.

All of these came from—Lu Xiao.

Her heart trembled for a bit, and soon after, she happened to see the message he sent.

[Are you still busy? Don’t overwork yourself, remember to balance work and rest. By the way, the kids miss you a lot; video call if you have time.]

Upon seeing these words, Wen Xian didn’t know what to feel for a moment.
