I Bind with NP System After Being Abandoned by the 1V1 System - Chapter 12

Of course, we should cherish the opportunity that comes to us. Jiang Zhi nodded without hesitation and agreed.

The other party raised an eyebrow as if already expecting her response.

Jiang Zhi was then led to Cheng Huai’s RV. As soon as she sat down, the manager quickly got to the point.

“You look like a student. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kim. As you know, Cheng Huai is an outstanding actor. He usually takes his scripts and acting very seriously. Just now, when we saw you for the first time, Cheng Huai and I felt that you resembled the female lead in this script. Would you be interested in working part-time as his script reader?”

“Script reader…” Jiang Zhi did not seem to understand. “Is that really a job?”

“In fact, it’s just about playing the female lead’s role to help Cheng Huai rehearse his scenes. It’s not difficult,”

Kim pushed the script over with the outline written on the first page.

The drama was set during the Republic of China era. The male lead played by Cheng Huai was a warlord whose army had killed the female lead’s family as their political affiliations were different. She held both a personal grudge and political enmity against him. Her clumsy and blind assassination attempt was easily seen through by the male lead, but, he thought it was amusing and indulged her to act a few more times. Later, his lust grew, and he eventually captured the female lead and kept her in his mansion. Despite their initial hostility, the two developed secret feelings for each other. However, the unshakable political and personal hatred could not be erased. In the end, the male lead gave the female lead a chance. She killed the male lead and then followed him to death.

“Don’t we have the female lead? Why do you need me?” she asked, puzzled.

“The female lead was forced in by the investors. Her appearance and the character’s persona are not in line with each other, and her acting skills are terrible. Cheng Huai has been unhappy about it. If you can help him get into character, that would be great.”

After explaining, Kim offered her a sky-high hourly wage for this part-time job—an amount hard to refuse, even if her boyfriend was the president of a listed company and she had no shortage of money.

Jiang Zhi asked the system in her mind, “Is Cheng Huai difficult to pursue?”

System: “Three stars, not too difficult. A friendly reminder from the system: the script is adapted from an erotica novel. Miss Jiang Zhi should make good use of this opportunity. There’s a good chance of success!”

Flipping through a few pages, Jiang Zhi saw that there were indeed many kissing scenes.

Although she wasn’t sure about her acting skills, with the system’s assurance, she certainly had no reason to refuse. In this world, where could you find a good gig that pays well and lets you have s🔥x too?

“No problem, but I have classes and am quite busy. I probably won’t have much time,” she replied.

Kim smiled, “That’s not an issue. Cheng Huai’s schedule is also packed, so it won’t take up too much of your personal time.”

In just ten minutes, they had drawn up a contract, and Jiang Zhi signed her name, ready to begin this role-playing journey.

After everything was confirmed, Kim handed her a room key card. “Cheng Huai is almost done for today. I wonder if Miss Jiang Zhi is available tonight to try out a scene?”

After weighing it in her mind, Jiang Zhi realized that Xi Yu might already be at home by now, but he would definitely not do it. Going home tonight would be a waste of time, so it would be better to test things out with Cheng Huai at the hotel.

“I’m available.”

She took the room card, called Xi Yu after getting off the RV and sweetly told him she was having dinner with classmates today and would sleep in the dorm tonight, effectively covering her tracks.

As it turned out, Cheng Huai’s entire team staff worked efficiently. When she entered the room, a total of two rows of the female lead’s costumes had been prepared inside, each needed for different scenes.

Anyway, the person hadn’t arrived yet, so she casually picked a qipao to try on, tied her hair up, deepened the colour of her lipstick, and with the high slit and a cut-out on the chest, she instantly had the look of a sultry woman.

Just as she was sticking her butt out in front of the mirror to accentuate her curves to pose for a selfie, she heard the door open, and Cheng Huai appeared at the entrance.

Embarrassed, she smiled and quickly pulled herself together. “Hello, I’m Jiang Zhi, your… script reader.”

“Mm.” Cheng Huai nodded coldly. His makeup and hair were still in place, and he still looked every bit the warlord.

He walked up to her, giving her a once-over. “This is the costume for the first rape scene. Since you’ve put it on, let’s start with that one.”

Jiang Zhi was both surprised and pleased; she hadn’t expected to pick the right outfit just by chance.

A rape scene… it’s not certain who’ll rape whom.
