Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Vampire Essence

The stark contrast and narrative vibe immediately brought out the theme of FRONT magazine’s June cover.

After changing her clothes, Mo Qianying stepped out of the dressing room, and upon seeing Ye Xian in front of the mirror, she froze.

He…really looked like a beautiful young vampire.

His seemingly disheveled yet stylish black hair, dark eyebrows extending into his temples at an angle, shadows at the corners of his eyes marked with distinct layers which added an indistinct sense of mystery and darkness, his eyes adorned with cherry-red contacts, and a small tear mole beside his left eye which was indescribably alluring. Coupled with his naturally delicate and incomparable features, he closely resembled a character from a comic book.

Ye Xian saw Mo Qianying in the mirror and greeted her, “Qianying, you look so beautiful~”

Mo Qianying had an Angel makeup look, soft and ethereal, with hints of wings by the corners of her eyes, portraying pure and flawless beauty.

“…Thank you.”

Coming back to her senses, Mo Qianying realized that if he hadn’t spoken, she might have mistaken him for a mannequin.

“All done.”

After finishing the makeup, the makeup artist looked at Ye Xian with satisfaction, as if he had completed a beautiful work of art.

He had never before encountered a celebrity whose features were so perfect, so close to those of a comic book character. With just a bit of makeup, he felt like he had drawn the vampire himself!

If the magazine’s styling guidelines had allowed it, he would have instantly taken out his phone and snapped a hundred selfies with him.

After changing their clothes, Ye Xian joined Mo Qianying in the photo studio.

The photographer and director, who was shooting the insert, saw the two and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

It was too realistic! Too ethereal! The two of them standing together were an overwhelming display of pinnacle beauty!

There’s no need to mention Mo Qianying, an international supermodel who, even if not striking enough, could captivate everyone with her inner poise. Surprisingly, Ye Xian shone even brighter!

He looked every bit the vampire personification that could have stepped right out of a comic book!

Since Ye Xian was handpicked by the chief editor for the shoot, the director had been a bit worried about the outcome, but now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Looks over substance, if the appearance is attractive, it’s already half the success.

“Qianying, Ye Xian, have you both read the shooting manual? Are you ready?”

“Mmhm.”

“Then let’s get started.”

“Eh? Director, didn’t you say we were going to take a couple more shots?”

Meng Jin panicked when the camera was taken away.

Director: “Forget it, it’s just an insert.”

“…”

Meng Jin’s face fell, and with clenched teeth, he walked out of the studio.

“Clear the set, everyone not involved leave the studio!”

To facilitate the models’ preparation and to keep the cover styling confidential, the staff asked everyone but the photographer to leave.

“Good, three, two, one, Action!”

With the set lights perfectly aligned and the clapperboard snapped, Ye Xian and Mo Qianying instantly got into character.

The pure and spotless Angel, wounded in her wings, had fallen into Hell; her tender, beautiful face showed not only pitiable vulnerability but also a hint of stubbornness and determination not to succumb.

As a professional model, Mo Qianying effortlessly embodied the character, with years of experience shooting for top magazines.

The director pushed the camera angle upward.

Ye Xian grasped Mo Qianying’s waist from behind, tilting his head slightly to find the perfect angle, and moved his mouth towards her fair neck, revealing two sharp fangs emitting a chilling white light.

The beautiful young vampire and the pure Angel, a scene of overpowering and ethereal beauty as if taken from a fairytale.

The director was about to instruct their poses, but for the moment, he didn’t know what adjustments to make; both were very professional and had a great sense of camera presence, “Good, in a moment when I count down from three to one, the vampire will keep the same pose, but look towards the camera.”
