Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
To Ye Qiaofeng, An Wen was nothing but a pretty face. As long as she remained beautiful, that was enough for him. Once Coach Cheng Weien said that An Wen was almost ready, Ye Qiaofeng allowed her to learn the martial arts movements with the other actors.
An Wen was a professional body double for martial arts scenes in her previous life, but she could not reveal that completely. Instead, she hid her skills and improved daily.
Today, it was finally time for An Wen to film her scenes properly.
Calming the Cosmos was the story of Crown Prince Xuanyuan Zun of the Moyun Dynasty. When he was younger, the crown prince was forced to abdicate the throne because his father, the Emperor, was killed while his mother was imprisoned in the Void. Xuanyuan Zun risked his life to fight, but the imperial secretary banished him from the palace. After that, the Deep Star Elder erased his memories and took him into his faction.
Xuanyuan Zun received guidance from the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Sword Spirit when he unexpectedly stumbled upon an ancient sword in the Deep Star Faction. When the Deep Star Faction was attacked by a rival faction, Xuanyuan Zun unleashed the Xuanyuan bloodline inside his body to save the Deep Star Elder. He managed to defeat his enemies and restore his memory.
After that, he began his journey on the path of revenge.
Once he left Deep Star Mountain, he realized that the Moyun Continent was more vast than he could ever imagine. His enemies merely needed to snap their fingers to destroy the dynasty that he was in.
Along the way, Xuanyuan Zun improved his skills by fighting monsters, and he gained close friends during favorable circumstances. He used to be utterly useless in the Deep Star Faction, but he was starting to become a genius now. Xuanyuan Zun gradually turned the tides through terrible situations and became stronger when he was oppressed. In the end, he became an honorable person who saved his mother, the Empress, and destroyed the Heiyun tribe that wanted to ruin them. Xuanyuan Zun became the Zun Emperor of the Moyun Dynasty who was later known as a God.
Although this was a light novel about a hot-blooded man who killed monsters to advance himself and turn the tides, the plot was still well-rounded. There were emotional stories about brothers and the relationships between a master and his disciple. Furthermore, there were also touching love stories.
The female lead, Ji Yuxi was the eldest princess of the Ji tribe who was engaged to be married to Xuanyuan Zun ever since they were children. She was a charming, beautiful, and quick-witted woman. Ji Yuxi was hard on the outside but soft on the inside, and she was also extremely intelligent.
Meanwhile, Qing Sha, the secondary female character was the saint of the Wuyuan tribe who was also a beauty that could seemingly ruin cities. She was a pure, noble, and extremely wise woman who did not care about the mortal world. Qing Sha quietly assisted Xuanyuan Zun because she was madly in love with him, but she died alone in the end.
Calming the Cosmos was a novel that was targeted at a male audience. The readers preferred Qing Sha’s character to Ji Yuxi, and they even referred to her as Goddess Qing.
An Wen was currently going to film the scene where Qing Sha and Xuanyuan Zun first met. Xuanyuan Zun had accidentally stumbled into the Jade Lake in the valley of Wuyuan because he was heavily wounded and trying to hide from his enemies. Qing Sha’s white gown fluttered as she stepped on the green lotus and landed in front of Xuanyuan Zun to ask him something.
The wirework was the most challenging part of this scene, but other than that, An Wen merely needed to look beautiful and ethereal. When he was talking about the scene, Ye Qiaofeng turned to her and said, “You just have to look pretty. There’s no need to show any emotion.”
A cold smirk appeared on the corners of Lu Maner’s lips when she heard that from the sidelines.
The cameras were rolling. Xuanyuan Zun limped toward the corner of Jade Lake while blood endlessly trickled down his chest. He finally collapsed on the ground when he could not stand it anymore.
There was clearly no wind at this moment, but the lotus flowers on Jade Lake suddenly quivered faintly before a beautiful woman in a white gown descended from the sky. When she stepped on the green lotus, she looked like a fairy that had landed before him.
Xuanyuan Zun was faintly stunned for a while when he saw her appearance. The camera panned to Qing Sha and zoomed in on her for a close-up shot now. Traces of coldness seeped through her beautiful gaze before she asked, “Who dares to trespass into my Jade Lake?”
“My name is Xuanyuan Zun. I accidentally came here because I was being pursued by my enemies. I hope that you’ll spare me, my saint.”
Everyone in the Moyun Continent knew that the saint of the Wuyuan tribe lived in the Jade Lake in Wuyuan Valley, which was a forbidden place to them.
“Xuanyuan Zun…” Qing Sha whispered. She remembered that her servants had mentioned a fearless man by that name who killed Bi Cheng from the Heiyun tribe.
“Are you being pursued by the people of the Heiyun tribe?” Qing Sha asked while the stern look in her beautiful eyes slowly disappeared.
“Yes,” Xuanyuan Zun answered before he fainted when he was unable to withstand it anymore.
Qing Sha kneeled down and briefly examined his wounds. She then reached her slender pale hand out and placed it on his head to heal his injuries.
