Rebirth of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second

Chapter 321: No One Will Take a Penny from Me

The elaborate and powerful looks had an incredible impact on the netizens, giving them a fresh and thrilling experience. The six actors from Legacy of the Dynasty were exceptionally attractive! Any one of them could easily play the lead in another production.

Even history enthusiasts, who loved comparing costumes in historical dramas, were quick to praise the designs when the character photos from Legacy of the Dynasty were revealed. “I need to know which designer worked on Legacy of the Dynasty. The armor is a perfect recreation!” one netizen posted, sharing a comparison between the character photos and historical references. “I thought Tears of Rivers had the best costume accuracy, but Legacy of the Dynasty is on another level! Did this designer sneak into a museum and steal historical artifacts?” “Man, that’s a dangerous thought, but…I’m starting to believe it.”

As netizens were amazed by the accurate armor designs in Legacy of the Dynasty, Zayn, sitting in Olivia’s company conference room, was distracted by the Twitter comments. When he saw Olivia and the others step out of the dressing room, he couldn’t believe his eyes. The moment the six powerful figures appeared, he even wondered if he had been transported to a battlefield after a great defeat. As they stood there, they didn’t look like victorious front-line actors; they looked like commanders who had just returned. After working on so many productions, it was the first time Zayn was instantly transported into the feeling of that era just by seeing the actors’ looks.

“Olivia, who designed these outfits?” Zayn asked.

Still checking the online buzz, Olivia nonchalantly responded, “I made them myself.” Zayn was stunned. “You did? Are you kidding me?” Olivia stretched. “The costumes for the leads cost too much, and I couldn’t afford to hire a designer.” She was determined not to spend an extra penny if she could do it herself.

“When did you have time to make them?” Zayn asked, his voice shaking.

Olivia replied, “After our call that day, I asked you to push the deadline back by three days. I used those three days to get everything done.”

Three days for six sets of armor? That was unbelievable! Was she a wizard or something? Zayn was speechless. “And the metal on the armor?”

Olivia explained, “There’s a steel factory in the east. I gathered scrap metal. It only cost…”

And she even got to use the factory’s tools for free. Zayn was blown away.

Then it hit him—he hadn’t seen any makeup artists. Yet all of the actors’ makeup looked identical, except Eugene’s, which was slightly different. They must have had the same makeup artist.

“So, who did their makeup?”

Olivia pointed at herself. “I did it.” Zayn’s jaw dropped. “Makeup artists are just too expensive.” Olivia shrugged, as if to say, “No way anyone’s taking a penny from me.”

Zayn was speechless. Not only did she handle the makeup and costumes, but he’d also seen her take the character photos herself, dragging the actors in front of the white wall in the office.
