Trending Topic 5: FilmEmpressJunLing

The media exploded over the news, and so did netizens.

TwinsForever: Ahhhhh! I’m crying!! When I saw the revelation on the live stream, my tears instantly fell!!! It’s been so hard supporting their RL ship, but I never thought it would actually come true one day!!! Ahhh!!! Hooray for Jun Ling and Yu Fanshu!!!

Twin Life: Happy! Excited! Cheers! I can’t believe they’re only telling it to us after being married for two years! They’re so evil! Congratulations!!!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star: I knew I made the right decision to board this ship!

Sometime later, Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu posted an image of their left hands overlapping each other on Weibo, the diamond rings on their ring fingers clearly visible. Then, they also posted the wedding photos they took two years ago.

They held a very private wedding, and only a few people attended it.

Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu were wearing wedding dresses in the photos, their smiles as radiant as the sun.

After announcing their marriage, Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu did not retire from the entertainment circle. Instead, they became pickier with the movies they acted in.

The two would also travel frequently. However, as Yu Fanshu rarely updated her Weibo, her fans would often visit Jun Zishu’s Weibo to take a look at their idol.

One time, Jun Zishu posted a photo of her and Yu Fanshu playing at the seaside. As soon as she posted the image onto Weibo, many comments appeared at the bottom.

Shut Up If You Love Me: Fuck, am I the only one who noticed the tattoos on their bodies? Little Angel’s lower back in the second image and Goddess Yu’s lower back in the fourth image. Both tattoos are in the same location. Little Angel’s Tattoo looks like a ‘Yu(于),’ and Goddess Yu’s tattoo looks like a ‘Jun(君).’

I Dont Want To Study: @Shut Up If You Love Me, you are a bloody genius! Wahhh!! It’s so sweet!!!

Susansansan: @Shut Up If You Love Me, Comrade Lower Back, you are too talented! The tattoos are so small that I hardly noticed them! I think I have diabetes after seeing this!

Jun Zishu didn’t think that this little secret of theirs would get exposed, and she couldn’t help but be in awe of the keenness of netizens.

She had indeed gotten a tattoo with Yu Fanshu. They had gotten a tattoo of each other’s surname on their lower back. Every time they made love, Yu Fanshu loved to kiss and caress the tattoo on her back.

…

The two were invited to an interview show when the they were close to their fourth year of marriage.

“Which one of you was the first to pursue the other?” the host asked.

“I chased after her first. I wanted nothing more than to abduct her home at that time,” Yu Fanshu said, the smile on her face reflecting her happiness.

“Did you two encounter any hurdles in your relationship?”

“I don’t think so. We have excellent chemistry and compatibility. Our coming out of the closet also went smoothly, with both of our parents approving of our relationship. Aside from the occasional jealousy, we haven’t come across any major problems,” Jun Zishu said, smiling. Of course, the one responsible for getting jealous was Yu Fanshu, while she was responsible for consoling her little cutie.

“Have there been any interesting developments in your relationship lately that you can share with us?”

“Hmm… Not long ago, we had to live separately due to work. But Teacher Yu is very clingy, so we video chat with each other every night until we go to bed.”

“Wow, how sweet,” the host exclaimed, feeling her belly filled with sweetness.

“I know, right? But I had a rather busy schedule one day. It was already quite late when we finally got the chance to set up a video call that day, and our call only lasted a few minutes before I started hearing breathing sounds coming from the other side. I didn’t want to wake Teacher Yu, so I hung up the call at the time. However, I didn’t expect the end call sound to wake her up,” Jun Zishu said with a helpless but loving expression. “She called me back immediately and asked why I hung up the call. I explained that I wanted to let her rest, and her response was: I can only sleep well with you, so don’t hang up.

“At the time, the first thing that came to my mind was: Wow, a coquettish Teacher Yu is super-duper cute.”

Yu Fanshu grew a little embarrassed after having her clinginess exposed. Even though she was already 30 years old, she still couldn’t help but behave immaturely regarding love affairs. In contrast, Jun Zishu was mature when it came to such matters, even though she was two years younger.

“It seems Miss Yu is feeling embarrassed,” the host said, poking fun at Yu Fanshu. Inwardly, she couldn’t help but admire Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu’s relationship. Even though they had already been dating for so many years, their relationship was still going strong, and their interactions were still just as sweet.

“I am a little embarrassed, but not too much. She is my lover, so it is normal for her to rely on me, and for me to rely on her,” Yu Fanshu said. Then, she exchanged glances with Jun Zishu, the two of them smiling sweetly at each other. Even without words, their eyes clearly conveyed the love they had for each other.

There was someone who talked about the relationship between Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu, and this person’s post was pinned at the top of the Twins ship’s forum long-term. The post was as followed:

…

Before coming to know these two people, I never knew that such love could exist in this world. I never knew that someone could hit it off with another person on the first meeting and encounter zero conflicts in their relationship.

Both of them are excellent and talented individuals, and they are constantly surpassing their past selves, working together as they strove for greater heights.

I used to think that such perfect love was too hypocritical to exist in real life. However, thinking it over now, I realize that I had been shallow in my judgment.

Pardon my madness, but other than Jun Ling, I can’t think of anyone more suitable for Yu Fanshu.

Supporting them has been the best decision I have ever made.

…

Although neither Jun Zishu nor Yu Fanshu had seen this post, Little Fairy saw it.

After reading this post, Little Fairy couldn’t help but sigh ruefully. The world only knew that Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu shared a sweet and romantic relationship. Yet, nobody knew that the actual situation with their relationship was that one person was constantly moving forward while the other person adamantly refused to let go. Nobody knew about the several lives they’ve spent unconnected to each other.

The two’s relationship right now might seem perfect, but Little Fairy had a feeling that this was only the beginning.

…

Lord still did not return after Jun Zishu left the mission world. She remained in either an unconscious or partially conscious state, and nobody knew when she would wake up.

As for Jun Zishu, she concluded her mission in a carefree manner, wholly unaware that the person she had just spent a lifetime with was, in reality, the same person she had spent several other lifetimes with.

Little Fairy couldn’t tell Jun Zishu about Lord’s situation. It wasn’t just because of the restriction imposed on her. It was also because she didn’t know when Lord would wake up and in what form Lord would wake up as.

After bidding goodbye to Little Fairy in the transit space, Jun Zishu climbed out of her nutrition pod.

Similar to her previous mission, Jun Zishu did not get her emotions separated, either. She had just learned how to love, so she couldn’t forget the experience.

After eating a meal and washing up, she laid down on her bed and rested.

This time, she slept much longer than before.

When she woke up, she looked at the sky outside the window, feeling a little dazed.

Jun Zishu decided to give herself a vacation, opting not to hurry into her next mission. She shopped on the main planet, ate a lot of delicacies, and watched a bunch of movies at the cinema.

The cinema had movies from three thousand worlds, and every movie available was a masterpiece.

After Jun Zishu rested for a few days and stopped finding it uncomfortable to wake up with nobody by her bed, she returned to her nutrition pod.

“You’re finally back, Host. You’ve made me wait for so long this time,” Little Fairy complained gloomily. In the past, she only had to wait a day or two before her host came back to work. This time, she had to wait for five whole days.

“I needed some time to forget about some things.”

“Huh? You didn’t get your emotions separated, Host?”

“No.”

Perhaps she wouldn’t be doing so even in the future.

“Is that so?”

Little Fairy fluttered her wings, thinking this might be a good thing.

“What’s my new mission?”

“I don’t know, either. The higher-ups have changed the mission selection method. They are letting you draw lots this time, Host. We will go to whichever division you draw.”

In reality, this change was because the various division chiefs couldn’t come to an agreement. So, they decided that they might as well let Jun Zishu choose randomly.

After Little Fairy finished speaking, a box appeared in front of Jun Zishu, and the box’s contents were hidden from her eyes.

“Okay.”

Jun Zishu reached out and grabbed a ball out of the box.

“Okay, let’s go, Host.”

…

Memories started flooding Jun Zishu’s mind, and she frowned as she opened her eyes.

There was a strange smell in the air. It smelled sweet and greasy and smelling it made her feel light-headed.

Jun Zishu felt a hand wandering across her back, and she subconsciously swatted it away.

Upon seeing the surrounding situation, Jun Zishu and Little Fairy couldn’t help but be shocked.

Jun Zishu was currently on a bed, and there were three men on the bed with her.

The men were of varying types of beauty. One looked beautiful, one looked cold, and one looked masculine.

The man who got his hand swatted away revealed a confused expression, and he carefully looked at Jun Zishu before asking, “Your Majesty?”

Jun Zishu massaged her temples, her head feeling like a split watermelon. Then, she commanded, “Get out.”

“Your Majesty? Did I serve you poorly?” the pretty boy named Mozhu asked. Mozhu had a refreshing and cute appearance, and he was also the one who got his hand swatted away by Jun Zishu just now.

The other two men did not express similar concern, their eyes revealing their desire to leave this place as soon as possible.

“Get out. I will not repeat myself.”

Jun Zishu’s voice carried impatience. It looked like she was indeed in an unhappy mood.

Mozhu didn’t know what had suddenly gotten into the empress who had been smiling and teasing him just a moment ago. However, when he thought about how this woman had always been erratic in her emotions, he dared not continue behaving spoiled.

Afterward, the three men got dressed and promptly left.

“Defu,” Jun Zishu called out.

“I am here,” the head eunuch responded to the summons and promptly entered the room.

“Extinguish the incense; it’s giving me a headache. I will be taking a bath. Change the bedding before I return.”

“As you command.”

Defu promptly instructed the palace maids and eunuchs on standby to replace the beddings. At the same time, his image of the empress’s fickleness was further reaffirmed. The empress had clearly expressed her fondness for this incense two days ago, yet she was now finding it irksome.

…

Jun Zishu’s gait was calm, but her heart was in turmoil.

Although the timing of her arrival wasn’t ideal, it wasn’t the worst, either. Had she arrived in the middle of a 4P, she would definitely be dishing out a beating right about now.

The original owner’s identity this time was clearly that of a sovereign.

Moreover, it was obvious that the original owner was a very debauched sovereign.

The first thing Jun Zishu needed to do now was to verify her gender. While she could accept being a man, she still preferred a female body.

…

The good news was that the original owner of this body was an empress regnant.[1]

However, this was also bad news since this world operated as a patriarchal society.

The original owner’s name was Wen Renyu, and she was the late emperor’s only child. When the late emperor was still alive, he had granted every one of the original owner’s wishes, spoiling her rotten. After the late emperor passed, the original owner inherited the position and became the empire’s first empress regnant.

The problem now was that this empress regnant was cannon fodder.

…

TL Notes:

[1]empress regnant: A queen regnant (plural: queens regnant) is a female monarch, equivalent in rank and title to a king, who reigns in her own right over a realm known as a “kingdom”; as opposed to a queen consort, who is the wife of a reigning king; or a queen regent, who is the guardian of a child monarch and rules temporarily in the child’s stead, be it de jure in sharing power, or de facto in ruling alone. A princess regnant is a female monarch who reigns in her own right over a “principality”; an empress regnant is a female monarch who reigns in her own right over an “empire.”

(Taken from Wikipedia)

Fun fact, there actually existed an empress regnant in Ancient China, and her name is Wu Zetian. She was the only legitimate female sovereign in the history of China, and she reigned over the country for 40 years.
