Zhu Yelan was a textbook wicked supporting woman.
But lately, she'd suffered the biggest setback of her life.
Her face had gone expressionless.
After that, Zhu Yelan was utterly despondent.
Whenever her white-lotus-like younger sister acted out the story,
Zhu Yelan delivered her lines with a blank expression.
The scenes were so awful that the plot couldn't continue. It completely fell apart.
For example, in one scene:
Before Zhu Yelan even touched her, Zhu Lian'er fell to the ground.
She gazed at everyone with her tearful, pleading eyes and said, "Sister Yelan didn't mean to. She just did it by accident. It's true..."
The White Lotus clan never said things outright. They always left just enough unsaid to give people plenty of room to imagine the worst.
Zhu Yelan glanced at her expressionlessly, then spoke in a flat, measured voice: "Oh. Yes, sorry."
After apologizing, she deliberately stepped over her, going around the delicate Zhu Lian'er as if she were worried about getting into trouble.
"..." Everyone's mouths twitched. They'd been ready to heap all sorts of accusations on Zhu Yelan, but could only swallow them in frustration.
The male lead, Wei Jinjiang, had always had a blank face too. When he saw this,
he found himself admiring this newly minted fellow blank-face.
After all, a blank face paired with another blank face was a match made in heaven.

Our blank-face clan communicates with our eyes!

Note: The heroine is not kindhearted. She's spoiled and domineering.
Theme: Even a blank face can be adorable.
