When they returned to the studio in the afternoon, Lin Xiaowan asked Xiao Han, “When can 1 start to paint?”

Xiao Han handed her a pencil and said, “We can do it now. Let’s start with basic sketching.”

“Huh? Do I need to learn sketching before learning how to paint with watercolor?”

Xiao Han laughed. “Of course. No matter what, you need to know how to sketch at the very least. You don’t have to be very good. You can learn the structures of things and shading…”

“Oh, okay.”

Lin Xiaowan held the pencil as though she was writing, waiting for Xiao Han to tell her what to do next.

However, when Xiao Han saw the way she held the pencil, he could not help but laugh. “You don’t have to hold it like this. Relax. Drawing is a very relaxing activity.”

“Oh.” Lin Xiaowan looked a little embarrassed. She followed his example and quickly adjusted her grip.

When it was dusk, Xiao Han turned on the lights in the studio. He stretched and said, “Let’s call it a day. I didn’t expect your endurance to be so good.”

Lin Xiaowan smiled. She naturally had a lot of patience for things that she was interested in.

Xiao Han said, “We won’t spend too much on sketching. You should familiarize yourself with it first. After that, 1’11 teach you how to sketch the human body.”

As he led Lin Xiaowan out, he said, “I’ll give you a drawing book for line practice later. You can practice your strokes.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Alright. We can continue the lesson tomorrow if you don’t have any plans. Or you can contact me whenever you’re free,” Xiao Han said.

“Okay, thank you!”

Lin Xiaowan did not have much to do every day. As such, over the next few days, she would wake up and finish her breakfast before messaging Xiao Han to ask if he was free for lessons.

It was not like Xiao Han had never taught students before. He worked in the studio, and there were also classes being held at the studio. However, this was the first time he was asked every day if he was free for lessons. As time passed, he began to look forward to the notification on his phone every morning.

After a few days of lessons, Gu Yuwu informed her that she would begin shooting her scenes soon.

Lin Xiaowan felt like a long time had passed since she had gone to the set. Now that she heard that filming was about to start, she could not help but feel nervous.

“Come over tomorrow. You can try on the costumes to familiarize yourself with them. You should also get to know a few of the leads. There’s one who’s a little difficult, but she’s preoccupied with the other actors so you don’t have to worry. Just follow me tomorrow, and I’ll introduce you.”

After that, Lin Xiaowan informed Xiao Han that she would not be able to go for her lesson tomorrow. However, she did not specify the reason.

Xiao Han was also very understanding. As adults, they had their own things to do. Nonetheless, he still felt a bit disappointed. He quickly replied to her and did not ask any questions.

He sighed inwardly. ‘1 guess there won’t be any notification tomorrow.’

Gu Yuwu picked Lin Xiaowan up in the morning. She had told Lin Xiaowan not to put on any makeup.

“Today, you’ll try on the makeup for the goddess,” Gu Yuwu said, pinching Lin Xiaowan’s cheek, “I told you not to put on makeup today because it’ll end up getting removed anyway. By the way, you have really good skin.”

When they arrived, the main leads were already in the midst of filming.

Lin Xiaowan searched through her rather bad memory, but she could not figure out which scene they were filming today. After all, filming was never done according to the sequence of the plot.

“You see that young master? With him at the center, the one standing on his left is the first female lead, the one on his right is the second female lead, and the one behind him is the third female lead,” Gu Yuwu said as she pointed at a few people in the distance.

The first and second parts of the drama were arranged according to the number of scenes the characters had.

Lin Xiaowan could easily match the three women with the three female characters in the drama. She recognized two out of the three women. The first female lead was the youngest person to win the Best Actress award for a movie. The other person she recognized was the third female lead who looked aloof. She had watched a few of the third female lead’s works, and she found the latter very unique. She even searched for the other party’s edits on the Internet.

“The person in front of the young master is the fourth male lead. You see the person sitting at the side? He’s the male lead, but he’s not filming now. As for the sixth male lead, he’s not here today. Even if he were, you won’t recognize him since he’s a newbie,” Gu Yuwu said before adding, “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to do your makeup first.”

“Do goddesses also need makeup?”

Gu Yuwu chuckled. “Of course. What if you don’t wear makeup and the others look better than you?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded. “You’re right. Even goddesses need makeup.”

The costume for the goddess was rather complicated.

Lin Xiaowan put on layers of clothes which were finally topped with a pink and white wide rope. After putting on her costumes, she felt like she had gained several kilograms. She was also wearing a huge golden headpiece on her head. Although it was not made from real gold, it was still very heavy.

Lin Xiaowan raised her hand to support the headpiece, feeling as though it was going to fall.

Currently, her makeup was not completed. Based on the character of the goddess, she had to have golden patterns painted on her neck, arms, and bare feet. These were the incantations of the curse. Since they were not filming her scenes today, they did not draw the golden patterns. It would be too long of a process after all.

When she came out, she seemed to be glowing.

Gu Yuwu clapped her hands and said, “You’re really suitable for this role! You look so beautiful!”

Lin Xiaowan was very beautifully dressed compared to the leads. After all, the leads were mostly fighting and killing on their journey to the divine realm. Their makeup and costumes naturally reflected that. This comparison also served as a contrast to her role as the goddess.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan asked in confusion, “Why don’t the goddess wear shoes?”

In the drama, the goddess did not wear shoes.

At this time, Lin Xiaowan sat at the side, trying to immerse herself in the character as the filming went on.

There were not many people around at this moment since they were busy with filming the scenes so she was very relaxed. She brought her phone out to take a selfie. After all, how often would she be dressed in such a manner? Moreover, the makeup artist and a few people had praised her for her beauty earlier so she was feeling a little proud.

At this moment, Gu Yuwu said, “Let me show you the script. You might need to film later.”

Lin Xiaowan swayed her feet as she asked in confusion, “I thought you said that I won’t have to film today?”

Meanwhile, Fu Hua, one of the costume designers, stroked her chin, sizing Lin Xiaowan up. After a moment, she tied a string of small silver bells around Lin Xiaowan’s ankle.

Lin Xiaowan stopped swaying her feet and asked, “This… Won’t this make too much noise when filming?”

The divine realm was vast, but there was only the goddess alone in the divine realm. Later on, when the main leads came, there would only be ten of them altogether. If she made the slightest moment, the bells would ring immediately.

Lin Xiaowan shook her head and added, “Wouldn’t it affect the majesty of the goddess?”

Gu Yuwu looked at Lin Xiaowan, feeling very satisfied. She felt as though she was looking at the goddess herself at this moment.

Fu Hua, a middle-aged woman, studied Lin Xiaowan again with the character of the goddess in mind. Although she felt that the anklet was aesthetically pleasing, it indeed did not suit the aloof character of the goddess. She removed the anklet and said with a sigh, “It’s indeed not very suitable.”

Gu Yuwu had a few things to discuss with the scriptwriter. She handed the script to Lin Xiaowan and said, “Don’t bother with the plot for now. Just try to get a feel of the state the goddess is in….”

“Okay,” Lin Xiaowan said with a nod. Her expression turned serious, and she straightened her back as she looked through the script..
