Xiao Lusi summarized, "Alright. We're finished. Now for the leads...everyone chooses?"
But before anyone could speak, Yu Beiyi lifted her chin and stepped forward.
"I think," she began with a confident, almost superior smile, "I should be the female lead."
Xiao Lusi shifted uncomfortably.
Sun Zhengyi tried not to grimace.
Wang Nuozhi almost choked on air. She turned her face away to hide her expression.
Yu Beiyi continued, adjusting a strand of her hair like she was posing for a photoshoot. "I mean—look at the role. A graceful, elegant maiden with strong emotions? Isn't that literally me? I have the classical beauty and the experience. I fit the image perfectly."
Xiao Lusi hesitated, trying to soften her words. "You do have a classical look, Sister Beiyi, but the character also needs a very… dominating aura. I think Sister Lihua fits that better."
