The photoshoot continued for 5 hours. In those five hours, they had to take solo shots,group shots and then couple shots.

  Xie Ming was exhausted because she had never thought that only a photoshoot could make her so tired. She had to pose for every single shot and pretending like an Empress is more tiring than being an Empress.

  Though her past life was not something to boast about because she had done nothing other than letting people make fun of her.

  But at least she did not need to pretend to be the Empress. She finally realized that the entertainment industry is not easy as it looks.

  However, it was just a start. She has a long way to go ahead.

  After they were done with the photoshoot, everyone went to change their costumes because they were very uncomfortable while? wearing the historical outfits.

  Just as Xie Ming was about to go to her vanity room, she heard someone calling her name.

  " Xie Ming."

  She stopped in her tracks and turned around to see the person who had called her. She was surprised to see the great photographer David Liu standing there.

  She was puzzled wondering why he called her? Because she didn't have any interaction with him and most of the people have already gone to change.

  So why does he stop her. However, she waited for him to say something.

  " You didn't recognise me? Right?" David Liu askey playfully.

  Xie Ming was caught off guard from his sudden question. She pursed her lips and tried to remember if she had met him before.

  When she forced herself, she remembered from Xie Ming's memories that she had met someone with the same name at one of the fashion shows when she was abroad.

  They didn't have much interaction with each other but she remembered that person because he was really weird. He had long hair with a beard.

  He looked crazy yet people respected him so much. His crazy appearance was like an inspiration to him. She remembered that David Liu was an amazing photographer who has received so many awards in his fields.

  Xie Ming's eyes widened in shock when she saw through the real Xie Ming's memories.

  " Are you the same……David Liu? That crazy man?" Xie Ming was shocked because the person in front of him was a man in his early 30s, wearing a light blue shirt and trousers.

  His hair was trimmed and neat. He is tall and handsome. In fact, he is handsome enough to be a model himself.

  However, David Liu from Xie Ming's memories was crazy, wearing baggy clothes and having a very cold attitude.

  But rather than his appearance, his work has made a name of itself.

  David Liu laughed seeing Xie Ming's reaction and said, " Yes. I am the same crazy David Liu. I am glad that you remembered that crazy man." He chuckled as he stretched out his hand for a handshake.

  Xie Ming smiled and shook hands with him politely.

  " I almost didn't recognise you." Xie Ming was surprised seeing how someone can change drastically.

  " Haha. Many people said that. But you know, love definitely changes people."

  " Huh?" Xie Ming couldn't comprehend his words and raised her brows in confusion.

  " I got married a few months ago." He said while showing his wedding ring.

  Xie Ming smiled and said," Congratulations."

  He smiled and asked, " By the way, I was surprised seeing you here. How come you got interested in acting? Didn't you want to start your own brand line? I have seen your designs and you really had potential for it. Then why waste your talent like this?"

  He couldn't remember her earlier because he was not expecting her to be in acting at all. The girl whom he met at the fashion shows and had left a great impression on him, was now posing for one of his photoshoots.

  And that too not as a model or fashion designer but as an actress. That was quite a surprise for him.

  Xie Ming smiled mildly and said, " Yes. However, many things have changed since I came back. Also, I got interested in acting. So here I am."

  David Liu nodded and said, " It's good that you're happy. By the way, you were very good today. I heard that it is your first project."

  Xie Ming nodded hearing his words.

  " It's very surprising for newbies to pose like this. Seems like you really have a knack for it. "

  Xie Ming smiled and said, " Thank you. It was because you explained it very well."

  She didn't feel that she did anything big. She was just following his instructions and was trying to be in the character.

  Pretending to be Empress was not difficult for her. However, pretending to be wicked and crafty was very difficult for her.

  " Don't give me credit for it. It was because you are very good at expressing yourself. I was instructing others as well, then why couldn't they do it well like you did?"

  Xie Ming didn't say anything and stood there while smiling helplessly.

  " Here. This is my business card. Now since I had decided to stay here, let's keep in touch. You can call me whenever you need. I would be glad to help you. "

  Xie Ming was caught off guard because she was not expecting this from him.

  " Oh." She took the business card from him and smiled. " Thank you, David Liu. It was nice meeting you."

  Xie Ming smiled and left after giving her number to him as well. Though she only remembers him from Xie Ming's memories, he seems like a very nice person.

  Also, it's not wrong for her to know more people.

  …


  Yuan Lei, who was about to go back to change stopped when she saw David Liu called Xie Ming.

  She was far away from them so she couldn't hear their words. But she was surprised to see David Liu smiling while talking to Xie Ming.

  " I have really underestimated this bitch." she mu rmurs as she remembered how David Liu ignored her earlier and was now talking to Xie Ming while grinning.

  She couldn't understand why everyone is giving so much respect to Xie Ming. She is just a newbie yet everyone treats her so preciously.

  She is the female lead but she was scolded many times than Xie Ming.
