    “Can’t...” Yi Tian mumbled under her breath before trying again, asking seriously and sincerely, “I’m doing it for the drama’s good. Why don’t you make a decision after I act it out again?”


    “No need.” Ling Tianya just rejected Yi Tian coldly. Yi Tian didn’t seem to expect such a cold rejection from Ling Tianya and felt cold shame gather in her stomach.


    Small Guy pouted at Big Guy, as though saying, ‘Bro, look at this woman, how can she treat Ms Yi Tian like that!’


    Ling Tianya flipped through her script. “Every single word of this script came out of my own hands. If I say no, that means no. If you’re so confident, then go convince Zhang Heng, and ask Zhang Heng to talk to me.”


    Yi Tian gritted her teeth. She did go find Zhang Heng and acted her own version of the scene for him. Zhang Heng said that he couldn’t quite determine which one was better, so he sent her to ask Ling Tianya on her opinion.


    After all, the one that wanted to remove some lines was Yi Tian, and the person that wrote the script was Ling Tianya.


    Since Ling Tianya had already outright rejected her, Zhang Heng wouldn’t agree to it now either.


    Yi Tian couldn’t swallow this fact. This was her first time being the female lead, and it was a huge production too. She had been studying this script for a long long time. She had wanted to change some of the scenes in the script so that she could casually mention it to the media when the drama was doing its promotions. The fact that her thoughts and ideas were epted by the director and screenwriter would be a huge help in her future career.


    So, she had deliberately chosen a scene that wasn’t not too important, lines that were a little redundant to put her ideas in. Zhang Heng was okay with it, but not Ling Tianya.


    “Ms Ling...” Yi Tian wanted to argue against it but was cut off harshly by Ling Tianya.


    “The drama’s sponsor is my fiancé, Miss Yi Tian, how easy do you think it would be for me to change the female lead?”


    Yi Tian froze. Her eyes flitted across Ling Tianya’s face, trying to determine whether she was serious or just joking around.


    Seeing how stoic Ling Tianya was, her heart sank, her eyes reddening in the blink of an eye.


    “Ms Ling, did I do something wrong and make you unhappy?” Yi Tian asked weakly.


    By now, everyone else on the set had noticed what was going on here. Even though they couldn’t hear the conversation, they could feel the atmosphere changing. Yi Tian was clearly about to cry.


    Ling Tianya took a general look at everyone’s reaction. Yi Tian was really skilled. Both her acting skills and ability to take control of the atmosphere were tip-top. Just a silent move, and she had everyone’s attention on her.


    If she really switched out Yi Tian, the entire crew might think she’s a cruel and heartless woman. Not too longter, this would start spreading to the general public too — that Ling Tianya bullied a new actress using her position.


    Small Guy’s brows were furrowed tight enough to suffocate a fly. Because of Yi Tian’s actions, his prejudice against Ling Tianya worsened.


    Ling Tianya passed her precious documents to Zhang Ke, looking at Yi Tian in the eye. “We’re not idiots, you don’t have to pretend. Isn’t it tiring to pretend to be my fan every day? You sure troubled Li Fei to find my books, and even requested her to bring special editions overnight.”


    Yi Tian’s pupils shrank the moment she heard that, gaping at Ling Tianya. Her lips twitched for a while before her words stumbled out of her mouth, “Ms Ling, what are you saying? I don’t understand?”
