Taoist! I’m here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m here! It’s me, Ianthe Lawson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother! I’m here! Please save me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ianthe desperately shouted at him, but as before, her voice couldn’t come out and couldn’t reach anyone’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander was busy inspecting every corner of the dressing room, completely unable to hear anyone shouting at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the room was immaculately clean, without any sensation of living souls or sinister presences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it not be here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander muttered to himself and was about to turn and leave when his gaze landed on a doll placed on the makeup table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he noticed this doll was that it seemed to be made in Ianthe’s likeness, even wearing a similar costume from the drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, it looked like a life-sized fan-made doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mystical Sect had always been rather sensitive to this type of doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward cautiously, approaching the doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ianthe watched in anticipation as Evander walked toward her. Hope surged within her, and she tried to make some noise to respond to him, but she still couldn’t do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just watched as Evander stood in front of her like a giant and then reached out to pick her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picked up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until this moment that Ianthe suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash of insight, she finally understood what she was trapped inside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was that doll!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fan-made doll she had left in her dressing room!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she often shared pictures of her “doll” on her social media accounts, many fans knew she liked playing with BJD dolls and would show theirs in her comment section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One fan who interacted with her frequently made this Prosperous Age fan doll for her after seeing the costume photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She liked it so much when she received it, and once the studio started experiencing hauntings, she kept it as an amulet for protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have thought the ghost causing chaos was indirectly protecting her while the fan doll she considered her amulet entrapped her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Evander’s face enlarge before her, Ianthe almost used all her soul’s strength to loudly call for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from Evander’s perspective, the fan-made doll before him, though eerily realistic, had no perceivable special aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After examining it closely for a few seconds, Evander placed the doll back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being set down again, Ianthe felt an overwhelming sense of despair, and no matter how much she wanted to cry loudly, her soul remained restrained and unable to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t leave… don’t leave… save me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to stay inside the doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Save me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one heard her cries for help. Ianthe heard the dressing room door close again, and the footsteps gradually faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As though the world was slowly abandoning her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander came and went without even attracting the attention of the crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returned, Scarlett and “Ianthe” were already attempting to film again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the first scene kept getting endlessly NG’d.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun began to set, and daylight was fading, Director Xu was so anxious he was almost spitting blood right on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett caught sight of Evander returning from the corner of her eye but saw him gently shake his head at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett furrowed her brow, understanding that Evander hadn’t found any clues at the dressing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they couldn’t figure out what was going on with Ianthe’s current situation, they’d have to forcibly summon the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the risk of forcibly summoning a soul was too great, and if Ianthe’s soul was still in her body, it might damage her soul body if they weren’t careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pondering this, Scarlett inadvertently became distracted, which was immediately seized upon by Hestia Knight, who’d endured reprimands all afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, it’s not that I can’t get into character, but look, Scarlett has been spacing out this whole time; how am I supposed to act this way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone of accusation was full of grievance, so much so that anyone unaware would have thought Scarlett had been distracted all afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Xu laughed in disbelief when he heard her still complaining about others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still asking him how to act?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Act standing, act lying down, act however, but you have too many complaints!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally grumbling, he kept a straight face,“I have eyes; I can tell who is affecting whose state.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you hadn’t been NG’ing all afternoon, would they be bored enough to zone out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Director Xu’s impatient tone, Hestia was incensed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got scolded for bad acting, but why didn’t Scarlett get scolded for zoning out?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing “Ianthe” seemed to have more to say, Scarlett suddenly remembered something and decisively stood up from the wooden wheelchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sickly, scheming girl instantly transformed into a little cool girl. Ignoring the others’ expressions, she straightforwardly said,“Director, there’s no need to waste time anymore; let’s shoot again tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Scarlett said this, Hestia’s eyes almost reddened with rage. If not for the livestream still ongoing, she would have almost pointed at Scarlett and cursed her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m the lead actress here, why should a side character be so arrogant?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hestia thought she was discreetly glaring at Scarlett, but Scarlett’s sensitivity was too acute; she met Hestia’s glare with serenely cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unprepared to meet those deep black eyes, seemingly seeing through everything, Hestia felt inexplicably exposed and quickly looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett, however, didn’t let up her gaze, still looking clearly and brightly at Hestia. She suddenly said,“Sister Lawson is not in the right state today; let’s play a game to relax.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett rarely suggested playing games on the show, and Ariel Zimmerman instantly realized she had a plan. Not waiting for Ianthe to refuse, Ariel jumped in,“Sure! What shall we play?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Scarlett spoke, she swiftly drew a Yellow Talisman from her sleeve, “We’ll use a Truth Talisman to play, guaranteed.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1264,"2026-06-10T07:18:23.777Z",1,"novelbin.me","12f3df5dd28c2ae5a90fc5fcb23be5b6f0dc4c6278d503b0a1c84c8ffba903a2","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-291","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-289",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
