Ou the set of Shades of Love, Director Young was filming an intimate scene featuring Rose and Leon. As Lily and Mia arrived, an assistant hurried over to them, holding a clipboard and speaking excitedly.

“Lily, today we’re shooting one of your most crucial scenes. It’s the moment where your character meets the male lead for the first time.

“But Lily-

Mia hesitated, her brows furrowed with worry, but Lily continued.
