Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 284 The Story

Luckily, the production team secured the location. It allowed Violeta to depart earlier to get familiar with the venue.

The female lead in the spin-off series was Layla, who was the lord of Dianthus Castle. The drama described Layla as a person who rarely leaves her castle because of her physical limitations. However, to maintain eternal youth, she commanded her men to leave the castle and commit heinous acts, capturing young boys and girls so that she could practice dark magic. Therefore, the castle served as the setting for the majority of Violeta's scenes.

The seven-episode storyline includes how Layla became the lord of the castle and eventually transformed into the black witch with an unpredictable mood.

This undoubtedly demanded strong acting skills, as she transitioned from an innocent and naive girl to a later ruthless and cruel persona. Those were two very extreme ends.

Entering the estate.

Ward was discussing camera angles with the director.

Several crew members were setting up the scene.

When Violeta arrived, Wade beamed at her and said, "Our leading lady is here."

A shy smile flashed across Violeta's face, but she greeted them politely. "Hello, Mr. Howell and Director Rufus."

It was Rufus's first time meeting Violeta. Wade handpicked her, lavishing her with high praise. Before meeting Violeta, Rufus had developed a keen interest in her.

When he saw Violeta today, his gaze discreetly assessed her. At the very least, he was satisfied with her appearance.

Layla's character was the bewitching beauty of the realm, and though she was a black witch, the villain was often extraordinarily beautiful.

Violeta's looks indeed matched the title of the most beautiful woman.
