Chapter 1 A New Substitute


    In the entertainment sector of B City, a man brought a young girl to a martial arts instructor. "Walter, this


    is the person I''ve been talking about."


    Walter Wu stared at the incredibly graceful girl standing before him. She didn''t look as if she belonged


    anywhere near the martial arts world, much less be seen practicing it. "Her? She doesn''t look like she


    practiced martial arts in years. You do know our job is not a joke right? We could easily get injured by


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    all these weapons. In fact, the girl could even audition for the main act."


    The man chuckled, rubbing the bridge of his nose. It seemed that he was already expecting his


    reaction. "Don''t judge a person by her appearance. You''lle to understand that she''ll be a perfect fit.


    You can take the money they''ll give her. You don''t even have to pay her. In fact, it''s my apologies that


    we''ve deprived your other employees."


    "Of course not. Your rmendation has already solved all my troubles. The actresses have lots of


    action scenes. My other employees might not be able to fit the job description, so it''s a good thing that I


    could have such a stand-in for the actresses." ''It''s even a better thing that I don''t need to pay her,''


    Walter Wu thought cheerfully.


    The two of them chatted for a bit before the man left. Staring at the quiet Muriel Mu, Walter Wu


    furrowed his eyebrows curiously. Even then, he still couldn''t get why such a beautiful woman would


    want to be a substitute. "Muriel, what weapons do you know?"


    She tilted her head. "I know everything."


    Walter Wu sputtered out in shock. His eyes widened momentarily. There was no way that this lithe girl


    could master all the weapons they had. "Let''s wait and see." He patted her on the shoulder and led her


    to the dressing room.


    When the stylist and make-up artist saw Walter Wuing, they immediately greeted him with a smile.


    "Hi, Walter."


    "This is the stunt double who was introduced by one of my friends. The next scene is Sunny''s fight


    scene, so I want you to help her get dressed," he ordered.


    "This is the stunt double?" The two shared a look. ''With such a beautiful face, she could even rece


    Sunny.''


    Walter Wu pped, knocking them out of their daze. "Don''t be distracted. Get her ready. You know how


    Hudson gets when things don''t start on time. Once she''s done, take her to the martial arts instructor''s


    office to find me."


    "Okay." The make-up artist nodded.


    "Ow." The make-up artist heard her partner catching her breath, so she turned around to see what the


    fuss was about. It seemed that Muriel Mu had already changed clothes.


    With shoulder length hair and dazzling eyes paired with a silk dress, Muriel Mu''s figure was perfectly


    outline. In the same dress, while Sunny Huang looked sexy and lively, Muriel Mu looked regal and


    arrogant.


    It was as if she had poked out of a storybook! Suddenly feeling inspired, the make-up artist grabbed


    her chair and motioned for Muriel to take a seat. She quickly fitted the wig on top of the girl''s head and


    began her work. The woman took out her brush and rubbed it against her shadow palette. She quickly


    drew it from Muriel''s cheek to the side of her ear. It would highlight her angles more.


    Staring at herself in the mirror, Muriel couldn''t help but smile.


    "Damn it! Damn it!" Sunny Huang''s assistant yelled out as she ran through the corridor.


    "Hey! Slow down. There''s water on the table. What if it spills on me?" Sunny Huang scolded.


    "Sunny, they said that your role is going to be reced." The assistant shuffled anxiously, not daring to


    look at the woman''s eyes.


    Sunny Huang shrieked as she staggered up. "What? But I''ve already signed the contract!"


    "They say the neer''s in the dressing room."


    "Hell no! Just when I finally got this role, I''m not going to let anyone get this from me! Who is she?"


    Sunny demanded. She lifted the hemline of her dress and stomped over to the dressing room. Her


    bright eyes were zing with unspeakable rage.


    When the staff around the dressing room saw Sunnying, they all pretended they were busy


    arranging with whatever was close to them. In reality, they were just there to eavesdrop on the drama


    that was about to unfold.


    As soon as Sunny stepped into the dressing room, she saw a woman who was dressed exactly the


    same as herself. When she walked closer, she found the girl to be really beautiful. Although Sunny had


    been in the entertainment circle for six years, she had never seen the woman in front of her.


    In fact, with this face, it would be easy for her to be famous around the entertainment circle. The


    girl dared to try and steal her role before making her big debut! If the news spread about this, it would


    be humiliating for Sunny!


    When the make-up artist spotted Sunny, she quickly tried to introduce Muriel to her. "Sunny, this is..."


    "Look,dy, I advise that you don''t steal roles from other people," Sunny interrupted coldly. "Don''t think


    you can stay in the entertainment circle so long just because you''ve slept with tons of sniveling old


    fools."


    Muriel didn''t even know who this woman was.


    "What do you mean?" She stared nkly at the hostile woman raging in front of her.


    Sunny snorted. "Don''t you understand me? How about I put it more bluntly? I''m going to be ying this


    role, while you can choose another role to steal away. If you don''t know how to ce yourself–"


    "Huh? Sunny? Why are you still standing there? Did Muriel already change into her costume? Hurry


    up!" Walter waved his hand, signaling everyone toe over.


    Sunny stomped over to Walter. She gritted her teeth. "Why did you do this?" she snarled.


    "Huh? What?" He furrowed his eyebrows.


    "I heard you hired that girl to rece me!" Sunny red at him.


    She had already sacrificed herself just to get a role on the television drama ''Love of Ghosts and


    Goblins'', but all she got was the fourth top role only after smooth talking her way through the higher-


    ups.


    All her previous efforts would be in vain if he suddenly said that Muriel was to rece her.


    "I found someone to help you. Is there a problem? Oh crap, don''t cry! Your makeup would be ruined."


    Walter scratched the back of his neck.


    The make-up artist must''ve known that something was wrong. She hurried forward. "Sunny, did you


    misunderstand something? Muriel''s a substitute. She''s supposed to be a stunt double for all the


    actresses in the crew."


    "Oh." Hearing the exnation, Sunny reddened in realization. She stopped crying and bowed her head


    apologetically. "I''m sorry. I may have misunderstood the situation."


    "Where is Sunny?" Hudson Liu, the director, scratched his head impatiently.


    Walter immediately waved his hand, hinting that everybody should hurry up.


    When Hudson Liu saw that Walter and hispanions wereing over, he couldn''t help but stare at


    the unknown woman with him. "Am I hallucinating? Only one day has passed, and it seemed that


    Sunny had gotten even more beautiful."


    Walter quickly motioned to Muriel and introduced, "Hudson, this is our new stunt double. Just call her


    Muriel."
