Charmaine Sheh does not care if she’s playing the ‘second female lead’

lead actress Wu Jinyan (Wei Ying Luo or Consort Ling) as the drama chronicles Wei Ying Luo’s rise to the top, Charmaine is unperturbed about being second female lead.

At a beauty event held a few days ago, the Hong Kong actress explained why she decided to take on this role despite having a smaller part in the show. “A good role matters more to me,” she quipped.

In previous reports, it was said that Charmaine had filmed the 70-episode series in 15 days and had significantly lesser scenes due to the limited time she could spend on set as she had concurrent projects during Yanxi’s production period.

Charmaine took the opportunity to clarify on rumours about the length of time she spent on set, saying she filmed this show for two months in summer last year. She added that temperatures soared to as high as 45 degrees and her skin was “very dry” as a result.
