Fang Yan asked Luo Ning, "Have you taken an interest in any drama?"
Luo Ning picked up a Fantasy Martial Arts Drama script and said, "I want to play the role of the villainous Second Female."
She had been quite fond of this Fantasy Martial Arts Drama in her previous life. Initially, the director wanted her for the role, but at that time she was being tarnished by slander. Moreover, Yan Qiuping deliberately sabotaged her, resulting in the investors choosing an actress backed by a wealthy patron.
However, when the drama was released, that actress was exposed with an array of scandals, and on top of that, the photos of her being slapped by her patron's wife and caught by the paparazzi dragged down the drama as well. It failed to make much of an impact.
Luo Ning saw great potential in the role of the villainous Second Female. Since the production team had already sent her the script ahead of others, it didn't involve snatching the role from anyone, so she wanted to give it a try.
