Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

Three days had passed.Most of the scenes had been filmed,all that was left was several romantic scenes between her and Casper.According to the script, Casper's character Xu Yan fell in love with Raina's character Yun Xi when he invaded the east kingdom.Xu Yan made the other concubines as entertainment to his men and left only the ethereal beauty Empress Yun Xi.Her charms had somehow manage to pierce through his stone heart.He felt more than lust,he wanted to have her by his side.And right now,he stood in front of the dungeon she was placed in.Watching her as she pretended to be asleep in the cold,damp dungeon that even a rat would find uncomfortable.

Xu Yan ordered for her to be let out.He did not want his empress to remain there any longer.His progress with her was slowburn as she wouldn't talk nor acknowledge him.Why would she? When he had killed her son.Xu Yan could not possibly be at peace without killing every single one of his brother's children.He had done so in front of Xu Wang.The latter almost went mad with rage and grief.His sons were killed and his wives violated by the lowly northerners in front of him but he could do nothing.

Xu Yan killed his brother in the cruelest way possible by having him flayed.Xu Yan relished Xu Wang's screams of agony till he finally died.Sealing his reputation as "the tyrant."

Even after all of that,he wasn't satisfied,he did not feel like he had conquered.

Yun Xi was still the same, depressed and desolate like a river running dry.Then she fell sick and unconscious for days.Not even the greatest physicians knew what sickness she was having.Then suddenly she came back to her full self and began to behave strangely.The once quiet and meek woman was now loud and opinionated almost like a madwoman.She claimed to be someone else from a different time and not the empress they knew.

Yun Xia,a young girl from the modern world found herself in a different body and time after she got hit by a car.She never believed in soul-swapping and time travel before that moment.The news of Yun Xi's madness reached emperor Xu Yan who immediately left his king duties to go see her.

Yun Xia was arguing with the court ladies about not wanting to wear a royal robe that seemed heavy to her.There was a shout from outside the empress quarters that announced the presence of the Emperor.The paper frame doors were opened from the outside revealing Emperor Xu Yan.Yun Xia was immediately blown away by the work of art in form of a man that stepped into the room.In a daze,she uttered "Are you human,who are you?"

Raina was so into her character.The rest of the crew behind the scenes were baffled at her versatility and talent.Thanks to that,they never had to film in more than two takes.Hereby shortening the filming days.

It was now Casper's turn to say his lines but he just stood transfixed staring at Raina.He knew he was staring but he could not bring himself to turn away.He had been behaving strangely these past few days,he himself knew it.

It happens whenever she is around him.Raina.Can disliking someone make you hallucinate,have palpitations and strange feelings and also do things out of the ordinary?
