"Wait...wait a minute. You guys saved my life, and I haven't even thanked you yet. Why are you..."

"Um, aren't you from the Ye family in Capital?"

The girl suddenly looked up and interrupted me.

Um, although I have no idea what's going on, I'm definitely not. I..."

Just as I was about to explain where I came from, a badge on my chest fell down.

Lost in my daze, the girl named Xiang'er picked up the badge for me.

"Sir, you dropped something."

"My thing?"

I took the seemingly heavy badge and quickly glanced at it - Ping Nan?!

The badge didn't seem like anything valuable, and I had no idea what was so special about it. But since it appeared out of nowhere on me, I decided to keep it.

But before talking about the badge, where exactly am I?

"I may not know if you're a member of the Capital royal family, but I must still observe proper etiquette to avoid breaking the country's laws and family rules."

"Um...let's not worry about that for now. What's your name?"

"My name is You Xiang. You can just call me Xiang'er, sir...oh no, I mean, Your Excellency."

"Oh, let's just call you Miss Xiang'er then?"

I didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so I wanted to end the conversation.

"Well, Miss Xiang'er, you don't have to call me Your Excellency. Just call me Juxi. No need to be so formal."

"Formal?"

Xiang'er asked with a puzzled expression.

But I didn't pay attention to the question and slowly sat up from the bed, scanning the entire room. After observing the structure of the room, I finally understood - is this a film shooting crew?

"Oh, right. Are you guys from the film crew?" I asked excitedly.

I was indeed very interested in acting in movies or something similar, and judging from my current position, I'm afraid...wait, where's the camera?

Only then did I realize that there was no high-end camera in the room as I imagined. The surrounding rooms were all sealed, without any directors or other people I imagined hiding in them.

I could only ask the girl.

"Huh? Camera...I didn't see a camera. Do you guys need to get into character like that?"

"Camera...what is that? Is it something unique and fun in Capital?"

"Well, not...right, it's a machine that can record images and save them. Do you know?"

"Record images? Right, can it be understood as saving images?"

"Yes!!!" (I breathed a sigh of relief)

"Haha, of course we have that here too. Let me call someone..."

Xiang'er suddenly realized what I meant and immediately dispatched her maid to quickly find someone.

"Go quickly and bring Master Zhang here. He is the best at painting...oh, no, I mean filming."

"Whew...thank goodness you can say that. I'm really..."

"No worries, Master Zhang's painting is very famous in our Ye Cheng. Even the Prince of Capital had him come to the capital to paint a picture and rewarded him with ten thousand silver coins!"

"Painting?"

"Yeah, when Master Zhang was happy before, he even painted a hundred pictures for free for the people of Ye Cheng!"

Talking about Master Zhang, Xiang'er's face lit up, indicating how amazing his paintings were.

But I didn't have the leisure to listen to her sweet words. I urgently wanted to see the light that I had been waiting for so long!

"Oh, sir, your wounds haven't healed yet. Don't move around!"

Xiang'er quickly tried to stop me, but I ignored the pain in my body...damn, this pain is really real! Getting back to the point, I didn't care about the scars on my body and rushed out of the dormitory.

Ah...!

A dazzling light pierced into my pupils. Immediately, I felt my body go weak, and I ended up falling onto the floor of the corridor."What... what place is this?"
