When
hereturned threeyearslater, onYunKe’sbirthday, YeZhizhou waspressed downonthebed. Heglowered, “Say, arethethingsinyour diary really true? There’s nothing between you and my sister?”
YunKe’seyestenderly gazed at hissweetheart, who had matured and becameevenmoredazzling, and nodded. “Of courseit’strue, otherwise, why would I show you thediary.”
Hismarriagewith Du Yunwasa deal based ontheir ownself-interests. Du Yunneeded a husband who cansuppressall of her enemies, whileYunKehad cometo termsthat hismarriagewill not beup to him. Moreover, hehad a deep bond likebrother and sister with Du Yunsincethey’vegrownup with each other, so heagreed to that marriage. Both of them were forwardand headstrong, and either one found it difficult to fall for theother person. Therelationship betweenthem wasmorelikea combinationbetweena closerelativeand a work partner.
“Xiao Yang, you aremy first love.” Heraised hishand to caresshisbeloved’scheek, hiseyesalmost overflowing with tenderness.
YeZhizhou facereddened. Hiseyeswavered, but then, helowered hishead and kissed theother manout of hisowninitiativefor thefirst time. Hebit downhard beforehereleased him and threatened, “If you dareto let me downinthefuture, I’ll cut downyour third leg!”
Registering hiswords, YunKewasstunned at first, thensuddenly whirled YeZhizhou around. Excitedly, hepressed downa kissto theonehewaspinning down. “Therewon’t ever besuch a day.”
YunKestayed trueto hiswords. Until theend of their lives, hisheart remained firmly bound to YeZhizhou.
“It’stoo bad I will leavebeforeyou.” Theold manstill looked handsomewith hisgray hair, hecaressed hislove’scheek fondly, wiping away thetearsfalling from thoseeyes. Hesmiled weakly, “Don’t cry, I’ll wait for you inthenext life.” Littleby littlehishand fell down. Hiseyes, which had gazed tenderly at hislover all their lives, wasnow tightly shut.
“You liar.” YeZhizhou cried likea littlechild, landing a few strong hitsonhisbody, “What next life? I don’t evenknow whereI’ll beinthenext life……”
Thesystem emitted a light screenina timely manner: [Shall wego to thenext world?]
Heclenched histeeth and held back histears. Hecarefully straightened out hislove’sappearancethenlied downbesidehim. Hisbody curled into YunKe’sarmsand heslowly closed hiseyes, saying yesinhismind.
Thefirst thing henoticed whenheopened hiseyeswasthesmell. It’svery smelly. YeZhizhou covered hisnoseand beganto examinehissurroundings.
Thisisa bathroom that wascleaned to shine. It had browntiles, a whitebathtub, a sink next to thetoilet, also brownincolour. Ontop of thesink, someskincareproductsweremessily scattered.
And he, at thismoment, inthiscleanbathroom…washaving diarrhea. YeZhizhou who just lost hislover couldn’t continueto feel sad, hewasquickly brought back to reality by thestench of humanexcretion.
Wearing hispantsup, hegot up with soft legsand walked up to themirror. Hechecked out hisnew body but fell stunned. “Tongtian. That guy inthemirror with facefull of acne…isme? Last timeit wasa fat boy, thistimeit’sa body with acnes, do you havesomecomplaintsagainst me?”
Thesmall cartoonmirror onthesink trembled, and thenext second, theyoung manwith breakoutsonthemirror faded away, replaced by largeparagraphsof text.
Hishead dipped downwith no expressions, helooked at thepink makeup mirror modeled after a cartoonrabbit and thenat thebigger mirror filled with words. Hisheart had only desolatewind brewing insideit, “Tongtian, you seem to likepink a lot?”
Thesystem ignored hiswords, only dutifully sending out thematerial.
YeZhizhou let out a resigned sigh. Hebeganto thumb through thisworld’sfemaleprotagonist’slovestory.
Zhang Xinran, actress. Her threefamily memberswere good-for-nothings: a trashy father, a stepmother, and a hedonistic younger brother. Shewasdiscovered by a talent scout at eighteenand entered theentertainment circle, becameaninstant hit and subsequently gaveup her studiesat theurging of her family. Instead, shefocused her all to succeed intheworld of entertainment. Flashforward to tenyearslater whenshewasabout to becrowned asa film empress, and her scum boyfriend of tenyears, Yao Cheng and hismistressLiu Feifei published her nudepictures. Shemissed out onthetrophy of film empressshewascloseto having, and rapidly fell out of popularity. Finally shedied inher ownhomeby carbon-monoxidepoisoning.
Afterwards, shewasreborn.
YeZhizhou: “……”
Thefemaleprotagonist wastakenback to her eighteenself, theweek beforeshegot scouted. Shesworeto liveout thebest lifefor herself. Shewantsto bethefilm empressand step onher scum boyfriend and hisparamour! Shealso wantsto really study thistime! Shewill no longer beanuneducated womanwho only had a pretty face!
Having set her goal, shesorted out herself and met thetalent scout ina better appearance. Oncemoresheplayed inthecampusidol drama that madeher aninstant hit inher past life. At that time, her past scummy boyfriend wasplaying asthedrama’smalelead. Sherejected Yao Cheng’sadvanceswhilediligently keeping with her studies. Shesucceeded ingetting into B University of Law, thebest university inB city, and attracted attentionbecauseof it.
Assoonasshereceived her first paycheck, shemoved out of her pig filled house. Sheavoided Huang Tu shesigned with inher last lifeand went for Mu Tianwhich sheknew will succeed inthefuture.
Although Mu Tianwasa newly established company, it wasa strong company and had powerful peoplebehind it. Shesigned thecontract using her knowledgefrom her past lifeand gained thefavour of a star agent. Through self-recommendationshegot theroleof thesecond femalelead ina palacedrama that would bepopular inthefuture.
After sheworked onthat palacedrama, her popularity roseto another level. It madethehigher-upsinthecompany pay moreattentionto her, her agent seized thechanceto makeher auditionfor theleading lady of a drama with a famousdirector. It wasat thisauditionthat shemet thereal malelead, Mu tian’sgoldengooseand thegreat film emperor, Ouyang Di.
Ouyang Di wastheleading actor thedirector wasset on, so hehad to bethereontheday of theselection. Asherushed therehedidn’t expect to betied up with paparazzi onhisway. Inthat helplesssituationtheprotagonist happened to passby and brokethecircle. From thenon, hetook noticeof her. Hethought it wasa brief chancemeeting and didn’t think he’d find thisnewcomer with good personality againintheaudition. Besidesbeing captivated by her acting of anancient woman, helater discovered that shewasnewly signed with hiscompany and becamea lot moreinterested inher.
Theshooting began. Thetwo people’srelationship got better and better asthey weresenior and junior of thesamecompany. Thefilm emperor gradually becamefond of theprotagonist, whiletheprotagonist also had a good impressionof theman…… But unfortunately, their beautiful lovestory took a turnat thispoint.
Onetime, whengoing ona trip, Ouyang Di wasn’t careful and got a bonefracture. Asto not affect theshooting and not maketheprotagonist worry, hecalled hisolder twinwho wastaking careof businessoverseas, Ouyang Zhi, so that hewould continueshooting themovieinhisplace. Ouyang Zhi had soft spot for hislittlebrother, so heagreed to do it. Hestudied hislittlebrother’sbehavioural habitsand took onthetask.
Thetwo looked likecarboncopy of each other. Ouyang Zhi’sacting wasimpeccableto start with, add inOuyang Di’sthorough guidanceoff thescreen, noneof thecrew membersevennoticed themalelead had changed person! Astheshoot went on, thefemaleprotagonist’sfeelingsfor thefilm emperor also grew. Whenhejust started, Ouyang Zhi couldn’t get used to her concernand intimacy, but they got along better after a long period of timetogether. Unexpectedly, hegradually fell inlovewith theprotagonist! Hefell for thewomanhislittlebrother liked, and it’swhilehewaspretending to behislittlebrother!
Whenheread up to here, YeZhizhou covered hisfaceindespair. Hisonly thought was‘thisworld isevenworsethanthelast one’.
Twins… Falling inlovewith thesamewoman…. And intheend still staying together, evenspending their wholelivestogether! Furthermore, theprotagonist only found out very latethat sheactually had two lovers. By then, she’d already gottenintimatewith thetwo menonseparateoccasions…. Areyou saying that eventhat intimatearea also look completely thesamefor twins? Thepositionthey likearethesame? Their habitsbeforeand after doing arethesame? Theway they panted whenthey got aroused wasthesame, aswell?
……Hecanfeel hisownintegrity being drained away.
Herubbed hisface. Hethrew away thedirty garbagefilling hisbrain, thencontinued to read thestory with a right mind.
Leaving asideher lovestory, theprotagonist led a very successful lifeafter her rebirth. Shefreed herself from her scum dad, forced her stepmother to leave, crippled her wastrel younger brother, discredited both of her past life’sscum boyfriend and hislover, and later, held onto her maleleads’ thigh. Accompanied and supported by thetwo men, sheworked hard and got thetrophy of film empress. At twenty-six yearsold, shewent out of thecountry and conquered thedazzling world overseas. At thirty oneyearsold, at thepeak of her career, sheretired gracefully and threw herself into charity. Shegot theH university’sdoctorateinLaw, and worked at theforefront to aid childrenand womenindistress.
Theprotagonist died at eighty fivefrom old age, having lived out thegreat lifeshecould besatisfied with. Everyoneincluding thecountry leader mourned her death. Afterwards, peoplemademonument for her, wroteher biography, established a memorial museum. Beforethey died, thetwo maleleadstold their descendantsthat they must protect and spread theprotagonist’shumanitarianspirit, they must let her liveforever inpeople’shearts.
Their descendantsmanaged to do it, and evendid beyond good at it. They set up a foundationwith theprotagonist’snameand invested a lot of money into it. Thefoundationcontinued thehumanitarianwork theprotagonist had doneduring her lifetime.
100 yearslater, thefoundationbecomea religion. It wasfilled with womenrightsfighters. 150 yearslater, thereligionexpanded and therecorded believerswerearound tenmillionpeople. 200 yearslater, their believerscould befound all over theworld. After 270 years, theteachingsweredistorted by someonewith their ownagenda, it beganto emphasiseonfemaleempowerment and becameviolent.
300 yearswaswhenthesupportersof patriarchy started to target thereligion, thenthebelieversalso retaliated, launching terror attacksat thecritical areaswheremenwereinpower. 320 yearslater, theconflict caused a war that eventually spread worldwide, but everyonehad forgottenwhy they werefighting inthefirst place.
370 yearslater… After thewar that had lasted for decades, theworld wasabout finished.
Shutting off thescreen, YeZhizhou stared oncemoreat theyoung man’simageinthewall mirror and that facebursting with pimples. Histhoughtswerefilled with ellipses.
Isthisway of destroying theworld…for real? How canthemissionworldsbethiswayward?
Thebathroom door wassuddenly knocked.
A rough voicecamefrom theother sideof thedoor, “Brother Cheng, I bought you thecream. Remember to put it onwhenyou comeout. Thedirector already said if your rash doesn’t disappear by tomorrow you won’t belet ontheconference.”
Hishead turned to thedoor, rapping onthesmall makeup mirror, “Brother Cheng? Who?”
[Theoneinfront of you. Thisbody goesby Yao Cheng.]
“……That trashy past-lifeboyfriend?”
[Yes.]
“……”
Knock-knock. Therewasthat two soundsagainonthedoor. “Brother Cheng, what did you say?”
“Nothing. You go rest first.” Heimitated theoriginal body’sspeaking toneto maketheother leave, whileflipping through thesystem’sstory ina frenzy.
Yao Cheng, both hisparentshad passed on. Hismaternal unclebrought him up until hewaseighteenand hisaunt drovehim out of their house. Insecond year university hedropped out becausehehad no money to pay thetuition. A random opportunity camewhenthenew director Li Hao picked him to appear inhisidol drama Fated to LoveYou. Hegot very popular and entered theindustry likethat, walking along thepath of beautiful man, drifting inand out of all sortsof idol dramas. Ashispopularity declined a few yearslater, anelder sister from Huang Tu, that is, Liu Feifei, fancied him. Inorder to get theresourcesshepromised him, hebetrayed hisgirlfriend of tenyears, Zhang Xinran.
Of course, thiswasbeforethefemaleprotagonist wasreborn. After her rebirth, Yao Cheng’sdirty laundry and scandalswereaired out oneafter another from thevery beginning of hiscareer. ‘By chance’ hegot to bekept by Liu Feifei, but just ashiscareer wasgetting better, a big photo of him and Liu Feifei appeared onthenewsand hispopularity took a nosedive. Hebecamesynonymousto a boytoy, living inanextrememisery and poverty.
Switching off thedisplay, YeZhizhou heaved a deep sigh. Herapped onthemirror ashespokequickly, “Tongtian, istherea way to fix my face?”
The author has something to say:
And a new story begins~ I hope everyone likes it ^_^
P.S.: I’m going to clarify this chapter, the author doesn’t actually think women should be constricted or enslaved, also doesn’t feel that women’s rights is not good and men are superior. The way this world ended was simply a setting to a story.
P.P.S: I’m afraid you’ll get bored if I talk so much, so that’s all and I hope for everyone’s understanding.
