Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Feeling Good
Sure, here is the translated text:
As expected, by the afternoon, the director stepped forward to speak.
[I didn’t bring in any financed actors nor bypass any procedures. The casting was unanimously approved by myself, the producer, and a professional judge. I don’t want to boast about my taste nor claim that my choice is better than anyone else’s, but I know that I wouldn’t choose anyone who isn’t the best. I don’t understand why some people have to invite criticism by comparing an early image of our leading actress with a random ‘Empress’ look to come up with such conclusions. I suggest you read more and save yourself the embarrassment.]
This fierce rebuke brought relief to the fans siding with Mu Lingyun.
But many of Wei Ruolan’s fans and some onlookers weren’t convinced.
[After all that talk, show us a photo of Mu Lingyun as the Empress if you dare!]
...
[So did you take Mu Lingyun’s Empress makeup shot yet? Can we see the picture instead of just talk?]
[Are you scared to release Mu Lingyun’s photo as the Empress?]
…
Two hours later, the drama’s official social media account posted, sharing a three-stage makeup photo collage.
[Since everyone wants to see our little sister’s Empress look, here it is. After seeing our little sister as the Empress, I couldn’t care less about any other makeshift Empress.]
After this tweet, Mu Lingyun almost instantly trended on the search list.
[Damn, the before-and-after contrast is so striking, her eyes are super A-grade in the later stages, love it!]
[Oh my, is this the goddess little sister who turns dark without relying on heavy eye makeup, just needing a single look? She’s definitely the Empress herself!]
[That gaze of the Empress, it really got me!]
[Not gonna lie, I almost knelt down after meeting her gaze! Empress for life!]
…
Netizens were virtually conquered by Mu Lingyun’s Empress look in an instant.
So, some enthusiastic netizens began comparing photos of the two.
After the comparison, they all reached the same conclusion.
Wei Ruolan’s Empress look, viewed on its own, was indeed beautiful, with a great style and on-point visuals.
But as soon as her Empress look was put alongside Mu Lingyun’s, the issues became apparent.
Mu Lingyun’s Empress look was not only beautiful and imposing but also nailed the expression perfectly.
Meeting her gaze made people feel she truly was the Empress, even giving rise to an urge to kneel and shout “Long live the Empress!”
[After seeing the comparison, I finally understand why the director chose Mu Lingyun, anyone with eyes could tell you should choose Mu Lingyun, right?]
[I just want to know if Wei Ruolan’s fans who were crying and begging for photos feel slapped in the face now? What does their master have to compare with Mu Lingyun?]
[This really is asking for a beating, Wei Ruolan’s face must be swollen by now…hahaha]
…
Wei Ruolan, in her apartment, was so angry at the shift in comments that she smashed several cups.
Why! Why were Mu Lingyun’s photos taken so well?
This little bitch! She was infuriated.
Then when she looked at her phone again, she saw a new message come in.
[Perhaps the ‘beginning’ you spoke of has passed, and now we are nearing the ‘conclusion.’ I haven’t seen netizens cursing me, but I did see them cursing a certain self-humiliating person. Why are some people so cheap? They simply love sticking out their faces to get hit! And now their face must be rotten. Haha]
“Bitch!” Wei Ruolan cursed loudly and then smashed her phone as well.
After replying to Wei Ruolan, Mu Lingyun was in a good mood, so she started reviewing for the exam the next day.
This subject on Friday was the last one, and after the exam, it would be vacation time.
Mu Lingyun felt even better thinking about that.
