Friday was a good day; most students and workers looked forward to the holiday, a time to relax at home and do what they want. Especially this week’s entertainment gossip, movies, and TV dramas were all very exciting, providing plenty of entertainment.
Friday morning delivered the first blow to those who follow entertainment gossip— the president of Real Entertainment was accosted unexpectedly in the middle of the night, suffering serious injuries. He has been rescued but is currently still in the hospital and won’t recover for a while.
This was just the beginning. At noon, it was revealed that Real Entertainment was involved in illegal activities, including accepting money to create false public opinion, forcing some idol stars and models to compromise and become mistresses or even prostitutes! The chaos at Real Entertainment’s headquarters was broadcast live on television. Investigators arrived, and several employees even fought with them, being handcuffed and put into cars.
Viewers watched with fascination but also sighed that Real Entertainment was truly finished.
However, Real Entertainment’s fall was so sudden and severe that many people drew parallels to Si Huang, and to those who had opposed her, such as Dongyu Media.
This time, Real Entertainment’s fate was even worse, and its swift and decisive methods were very similar to what Dongyu Media had faced.
Regardless of people’s suspicions, Si Huang only updated her Weibo with one sentence regarding the Real Entertainment incident: “I originally wanted to use this opportunity to test my influence {shrug} @RealEntertainmentCorruptionDownfall.”
The comments below quickly surpassed a hundred and kept increasing.
“Pfft! Your Majesty is V587[1], no explanation needed. Your influence is beyond question; you’ve already become a god! One sentence and you’ve killed Real Entertainment!”
“Oh dear, Your Majesty was so kind, giving Real Entertainment a chance for a slow death, but justice prevails, and Real Entertainment still died suddenly! {Smug}”
“Your Majesty, you’re being arrogant, you know that? Don’t think I didn’t see you were just showing off! You’re so gloating… but I just love it! Actually, what I wanted to say was that Your Majesty could be even more wicked! Aww!”
Because of Real Entertainment’s incident, countless people paid attention to Si Huang, and similarly, even more attention was paid to the upcoming broadcast of “Red Moon.” Everyone discussed Real Entertainment’s fate while waiting for the penultimate episode of “Red Moon” to air.
At this time, Si Huang was already sitting in the waiting area, waiting to catch a plane to the filming location of “The Fang of Time.”
“The Fang of Time” was a fantasy drama filled with exotic allure, not only in the characters’ costumes but also in the carefully selected filming locations.
Si Huang looked at the documents in her hand. This time, she was flying to Rome. The film required the ancient Roman palaces and the Colosseum, as well as deserts and primeval forests.
Only Yu Xi was accompanying Si Huang this time. The two of them were disguised from head to toe, and since news of Si Huang’s recent return to China had only recently spread, no one expected her to travel abroad again so soon, so no one discovered their identities.
Yu Xi sighed and said softly, “Filming ‘The Fang of Time’ will take at least two months. In between, you’ll have to fly back to attend three award ceremonies, ZZ’s press conference, and shoot promotional material, then fly back again. That’ll be three or four trips.”
“Hmm,” Si Huang replied calmly.
This kind of busy work experience, where there’s almost no time to sleep, would be difficult for a newcomer to adapt to, but Si Huang was different.
In her previous life, she had even spent a month working in freezing weather every day, getting only about three hours of sleep a day, sometimes even just one hour for two days straight.
After a month of filming, she lost over ten kilograms, looking frail and emaciated. The film happened to be a disaster movie, and her appearance perfectly suited the role.
She spent several months recovering, but suffered some aftereffects, such as being extremely sensitive to cold.
Seeing her attitude, Yu Xi didn’t say anything more.
The airport announcement sounded, Si Huang finished sending messages on her phone, switched to flight mode, and walked with Yu Xi to the boarding gate.
After their plane took off, the penultimate episode of the domestic drama “Red Moon” was scheduled to air.
On every player, after members clicked play, the familiar intro music began, and the fox spirit Yue, dressed in a black trench coat, appeared in everyone’s sight.
This episode was undoubtedly a heartwarming and romantic one.
December, this time last year, was the day Yue and Ding Hong first met. The usually aloof and alluring man unexpectedly remembered this date and took the initiative to ask her out.
Silent, meticulous care on the street, the two walking side by side, quiet companionship in the amusement park, and finally, in a quiet mountain forest, the masked man held the girl’s hand, walking slowly along the mountain path.
Below was the bustling amusement park, but here, only the two of them were quiet, as if all the world’s hustle and bustle was irrelevant to them, only their hands clasped together, their hearts slowly connecting as their fingertips intertwine.
What was happiness?
This was a question everyone had.
Yet, watching the two on the screen, quietly holding hands, not saying a word, even though they were wearing masks and their eyes were not visible, it still evoked a feeling: Ah… this must be happiness! Just watching it gives you a feeling of happiness!
When Yue picked up Ding Hong and leaped onto the tree branches, many young girls in front of their computers gasped, excitedly wishing they were the ones being princess-carried.
Under the moon, on the tree branches.
The two figures sitting together.
—Yue, will you leave me? —
—No, I will not leave your side. —
The usually cold and aloof demon suddenly warmed, his gentle sigh emerging like a promise, leaving an indelible mark on everyone’s heart.
When the girl’s courageous confession, made without hesitation, reached their ears, everyone felt genuine joy and a sense of it being the natural course of events.
Was this the end? According to the normal plot development, shouldn’t the lovers be united now, and the man reciprocating the heroine’s feelings?
Indeed, at the end of the story, Yue reciprocated Ding Hong’s feelings.
Everything was both expected and unexpected for the audience.
There was no passionate kiss.
No joyful laughter.
A pair of lips so pure they could hardly be called a kiss lightly touched the mask.
Tears streamed down the girl’s cheeks and jaw behind the mask, accompanied by a sob.
“Why are you crying?”
This question came from the speakers, and many viewers realized they were already in tears, yet like Ding Hong in the drama, they had no answer, unsure of what to say.
Listening to the dialogue between the two characters in the drama, the love words weren’t particularly outstanding, neither passionate nor cold, yet they inexplicably sent shivers down one’s spine, creating a sense of unease.
Finally, the girl leaned against the man and peacefully fell asleep.
The close-up shot focused on the fox spirit Yue’s slender, white fingers.
This scene made countless hand enthusiasts scream with excitement, almost wanting to lick the screen.
Especially since each finger seemed to carry a story, the gentle movements, the pause as it touched the edge of the girl’s mask.
Slowly lifting it, revealing half of the girl’s face, her rosy lips gently upturned in a sweet smile.
Yue didn’t lift the mask further, quietly watching.
Then, a familiar voice spoke in an unfamiliar tone, as if carried by the wind, entering people’s ears and etching itself into their minds.
“I love you.”
“More than just liking.”
“Loving you to the point of being reluctant to let go, even afraid to truly touch you.”
Before anyone could recover from this confession, their hearts already drawn into a bottomless vortex, the ending theme began to play.
A brief silence fell over the internet, followed by a frenzy in the comments section.
Fenghuang Entertainment’s official account was flooded with requests for more episodes, despite knowing the final episode would air tomorrow.
Si Huang’s Weibo was also inundated with messages from fans demanding love, collaborations, and even wanting to be his “big brother” (a term of endearment for a close female friend). They were even willing to shorten their lives for a simple “I love you!”
Jiang Yajing also became incredibly popular again, with male fans calling for her to stay strong and pampered, while female fans expressed envy and jealousy, asking if she had already fallen for His Majesty’s confession.
Amidst this storm, Si Huang on the plane remained oblivious.
However, a man who had recently received Si Huang’s farewell message was staring intently at the ending theme on the screen, his eyes practically glowing black.
The Blood Flag Special Agents nearby exchanged bewildered glances; who would dare to be so foolish as to provoke Qin Fan, who now resembled a dark, menacing figure?
