Finished

If it hadn't been for the last-minute changes that had everyone running off their feet, they, who got the first-hand gossip, would've loved nothing more than to whip out their phones and frantically share the juicy details.

In the meantime, they could only hint at each other through their gazes, expressing the turbulent emotions within their hearts.

This is explosive news! Super explosive! Team A-list... You guys played your cards well! This is going to stir up so much trouble! We can already envision the earthquake hitting the entertainment industry tonight. Look! Even Mr. Briggs and Mr. Carey are in shock. The confidential script had left Taylor and Riley on edge all day, ready to brace against the storm from the public, their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, completely sank after observing the current situation.

They broke into a cold sweat as they lit a cigarette backstage, and savored the calm before the storm.

As the stage lights dimmed, the background music began to play.

"There once were beautiful concubines who used their beauty to serve their kings, disregarding morality and law to gain benefits, causing harm to all. It's often said that a beautiful woman has always been a source of disaster..." a deep male voice narrated. However, he was interrupted by a sarcastic, high-pitched female voice.

Everyone recognized that it was the voice of Isabella.

"Blaming all the disasters on beautiful women? As expected that beauty is the cause of all disasters?"

The live comments in the live room were filled with question marks.

Isn't this a performance to criticize those confidants' rise to power with immoral means? What's this? It seems like it's not quite what everyone had in mind.

The audience on site was also dumbfounded, only the Quirk family seated in the front row was excitedly rubbing their hands together. Here it comes! Here it comes Knowing the inside scoop beforehand is thrilling. I can't wait to see everyone's reactions. When speaking of historically infamous beauties that were deemed the cause of disasters, the first one that came to mind was Anippe.

As expected, as the stage filled with smoke, the actors playing King Abrax, Christopher, and Anippe, Isabella, made their entrance.

The stage was set up as a massive, fake bathing pool, likely designed to depict a scene of decadence.

Christopher and Isabella were in the pool, indulging in the luxurious pleasure of the surrounding music.

Isabella obediently fed Christopher wine, but she was the only concubine present.

Suddenly, a vassal barged in, throwing caution to the wind as he knelt. "I implore you, Your Majesty, to rescind your order. The construction of the Star Reaching Tower is exhausting the people and draining the

In an instant, Christopher's

temper flared. "What's wrong with me building the Star Reaching Tower for my beloved concubine? It's not your place to comment on what I should do." With that, he drew Isabella into his arms and said, "Come, Darling, let's continue... I still want more wine." Yet, Isabella's actions were rigid.

Initially, netizens thought Isabella's acting was stiff, assuming she was nervous about her performance being brought forward and didn't perform well, which left them somewhat disappointed.

The very next moment, Christopher grinned as he gently held Isabella's chin, forcing her to look up at him. "Do you also believe that I should heed their words, Darling? Don't you wish to ascend the Star Reaching Tower with me? To seek the deities and ask for longevity?" Isabella's hand trembled instantly, she dared not look up at Christopher, stammering. "Yes, of course, I

do."

At that point, everyone could see that Isabella was genuinely afraid of the ruthless king, different from the witch known in legends as someone who used King Abrax as a puppet.

"Witch! As I suspected, you've bewitched our king!" The vassal pointed accusingly at Isabella, his voice seething with rage. "You've monopolized the king's attention, causing him to neglect the state affairs in favor of pleasure. I will slay you to awaken him from your spell!" Immediately, Isabella was scared and hid behind Christopher.

The vassal, however, was immediately intercepted by the guards.

The vassal pleaded, his voice choked with tears, "Your Majesty, this beauty is the cause of all disasters! She's a threat to you and a threat to the world! You must not forsake your legacy for her! Killing her will restore everything!" Isabella was trembling, her face turning pale.

Christopher responded with a cruel smile, "I'd rather kill you first!"

In a flash, the sword fell, and the vassal was executed.

Suddenly, the lights shifted, the large screen lit up, and ancient texts continuously appeared, rolling quickly as if countless people were furiously pointing fingers and hurling insults.

One text read: Anippe is a witch, she seduced the king and bewitched him, causing him to lose clarity, She's ruthless and is born to bring harm to Abrazia!

Another text read: All those cruel acts the king ordered were Anippe's manipulation!

One read: Without Anippe, Abrazia will recover,

Another read: Kill the menace, Anippe! Kill the witch, Anippel

The stage was plunged into darkness as if time had come to a standstill. Only a single spotlight illuminated Isabella, who was hiding behind Christopher. Isabella was shaking all over, her voice hoarse from shouting. She cried out in despair. "What have I ever done? Why blame me for this torrent of disaster?" Sun, Oct 6 ti

She stood up, fiercely slapping Christopher. "I was just a young maiden with a beloved fiance. The king summoned me to the palace, fell for my beauty, and constantly pursued me. What position was I in to refuse him? I'm nothing more

than a concubine, could 1 reprimand a king? Why would anyone say that I monopolized him? And that I stopped him from attending court? All of you only saw him skipping court and demanding my presence, but who among you can prove that I have the ability to sway a ki decision?"

She turned to the vassal and slapped him too. She exclaimed, "The king was the one who wanted to build the Star Reaching Tower! He was the one who wanted longevity! What does that have to do with me? Is it my fault that he wanted to bring me with him? He neglected In the end. Isabella turned around, her heart filled with sorrow as she pointed at the big screen and roared, "You're nothing but a bunch of weaklings! You're trying to hide your incompetence behind love affairs. The king is inept, the vassals are useless. You, the men in pow nothing wrong. I may be a beautiful woman, but I'm certainly not a bringer of disaster!"

L

After her roar, the captions on the big screen exploded into nothingness, plunging the entire venue into

darkness.

The first act came to a close.

The audience was stunned, probably not expecting to witness such a performance.

Netizens too, lamented.

A netizen commented: / get it now. Team A-list wants to portray different aspects of King Abrax and Anippe to challenge the misconception that "beauty is the cause of all disasters"

netizen commented: It's quite an unusual perspective, really. I've always wondered why all the ancient beauties who held sway over the kings have a penchant for tommenting others. Did they have to engage in cruel activities to feel enjoyment? That in itself was rather pec A netizen wrote: Moreover, plenty of new evidence suggests that the so-called "bring calamity to the country and the people" might just be men shifting the blame.

Another netizen wrote: In the patriarchal world of ancient times, it's hard to envision a woman having such significant influence.

One comment read: Didn't Isabella mention it already? As scandals of love affairs spread faster, the public wouldn't care about the complex politics that governed the country. If the country fell into ruin, rather than blaming their

king and vassals, it's easier to pin it on the powerless women.

Another comment read:

That's true. We, the spectators, are naturally drawn to such rumors. Their widespread dissemination makes them more easily accepted. If they insist on that in the future, everything will be fine as long as they don't end up with a king like the previous one, who was infamou women.

A commenter wrote: Sleazy! I can say that when men are sleazy, the women will always end up being blamed.

Another commenter wrote: King Abrax used Anippe as a cover for his indulgences, while the vassals used her to

cover their indbility to advise the king. Everything is Anippe's fault in the end.

Watching the serious discussion about the plot in the barrage of live comments, Taylor and Riley swallowed nervously, hoping that things would continue in the same vein.

Yet, in the next moment, the live comments exploded.

One comment read: Hait, who did I just see? Why isn't it Isabella?

Another comment read: Christopher is playing the role of King Haris, so shouldn't Isabella be the one playing Coga?

A netizen commented: Didn't this actress leave the entertainment industry?

Another netizen commented: Yeah because she seduced a capitalist CEO. He invested in dozens of her blockbuster movies but ended up losing everything. The CEO's wife exposed her by posting her sexual tape all over the internet. The actress was condemned for dest his family and carder and labeled as a parasitic mine!

A netizen wrote: She was ridiculed and became the hot topic of the entire internet. She even came out crying, apologizing, and announcing her departure from the entertainment industry.

Another netizen wrote: Has the Team A-list lost their minds? Why would they invite her, someone with such a bad past as a supporting actress?

A person commented: Wait a minute! It seems like she's the main lead of this scene!

Off to the side of the stage, Rebecca stared dazedly at the actress who had once again stepped onto the stage. She remembered her, the actress who once tried to explain that she had done nothing wrong and that everything was the CEO's own one- sided decision in a state of utter distress. However, no one believed her.

She had battled depression and contemplated suicide over her sexual tape. In the end, she withdrew from the entertainment industry, disappearing from the public eye.

And all that remained online were negative scandals and derogatory remarks.

However, Rebecca had seen her movies. The scripts were terrible, but her acting was impressive.
