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. The setting is a shopping mall, and during your visit, a fire breaks out. The male lead heroically rescues you…” The assistant went on, detailing the sequence and Lily’s role in it.

However, Lily’s focus drifted away after hearing one word–fire.

She had completely forgotten about this part of the script. In her previous life, such a scene wouldn’t have fazed her, but things were different now. The deep–rooted fear she carried would make this incredibly dithcult.

“Lily, are you okay? You don’t look well,” Mia said with concern.

Lily shook her head lightly. “I’m fine, Sister Mia… It’s just…”

Mia pressed gently. “What is it? Are you uncomfortable with the scene?”

After a brief hesitation, Lily confessed, “Sister Mia, I have pyrophobia. I’m terrified of fire.”

Mia’s expression shifted to one of alarm. “Lily, should I speak to Director Young? Maybe we can adjust the -scene or find an alternative. Your health is more important.”

Before Mia could walk away, Lily grabbed her hand, stopping her. Taking a deep breath, she said with determination, “No, Sister Mia. I can do this. I have to.”

“But Lily-

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