Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Never Married in His Lifetime Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Never Married in His Lifetime And Xia Weibao, after losing a few rounds, didn’t find it interesting anymore.
It was more enjoyable to go home at night and have her husband tag along in the fun.
So she went off to study the script.
Our empress was still dedicated to her work, playful when it’s time to play, but meticulous when it’s time to work.
“Republic of China Graceful Hero” tells the legendary story of Yuan Zhinan, the greatest warlord during the Republic of China era.
In the Republic of China, Yuan Zhinan was like a god.
Suffering from the war, he wandered with his family from an early age, and later, his entire family died in the chaos of war.
As a young boy, he joined the military, climbed the ranks step by step, and eventually created his own army, seizing power and becoming the greatest warlord of the Republic of China!
He never married in his life, and the reason was unknown.
Some said Yuan Zhinan, having witnessed the death of his relatives from a young age, was fearful of family, so he dared not marry.
Others claimed his standards were too high–there was no woman in the world who could catch his eye, hence he never married.
Yet others believed that Yuan Zhinan had indeed deeply loved a woman, but she had died, so he never married for life.
The third version was the most widely accepted.
As for the actual truth, no one knew.
After all, the man was dead, and there was no way to verify the facts.
For the sake of drama, the movie altered history, giving him two confidantes.
The female lead, Jin Die, and the second female lead, Bai He.
Jin Die was an Island Country special agent who approached Yuan Zhinan, gained his trust, and the two gradually developed feelings for each other.
In the end, Jin Die successfully stole intelligence, causing Yuan Zhinan to suffer heavy losses.
Her identity was exposed, and she was captured because of it.
Torn between the woman he deeply loved and the numerous brothers who died or were injured, Yuan Zhinan was caught in a dilemma.
But Jin Die didn’t want to trouble him, so she chose to end her life.
She committed suicide, leaving Yuan Zhinan with a lifelong regret and never marrying.
However, in actual history, Jin Die was seen through by Yuan Zhinan from the moment she appeared, and he shot her in the head.
There were none of the subsequent romantic entanglements or grudges.
How could that cold and decisive man be deceived by anyone?
Bai He was Yuan Zhinan’s childhood sweetheart, who, true to her name, was a fresh and beautiful woman like a lily–Yuan Zhinan’s “white moonlight.”
Their acquaintance began in childhood, but they were separated when Yuan Zhinan’s family moved around.
After achieving fame and success, Yuan Zhinan found Bai He and brought her back.
She, too, silently stood by his side.
Uncompetitive and serene, like an orchid in a secluded valley.
To his surprise, she turned out to be the ultimate big boss!
The real Bai He had, in fact, died long ago, and this one was an imposter from the Island Country.
She impersonated Bai He and won Yuan Zhinan’s trust.
In the end, she was the one who leaked the intelligence and then shifted the blame to Jin Die, killing two birds with one stone by eliminating her romantic rival!
Jin Die didn’t commit suicide–she was killed by Bai He!
That was the truly ruthless one.
The end of the film shows Yuan Zhinan shooting Bai He.
This is just a script; historical records also mention a real-life Bai He.
But she wasn’t his childhood sweetheart–instead, she was a woman that Yuan Zhinan picked up.
What puzzles people is that Yuan Zhinan knew she was an Island Country special agent from the beginning, but he still took her home.
And he treated her with much affection.
Everyone thought he was fond of Bai He, but in the end, he still shot her dead.
Stranger still, after killing Bai He with his own hands, he frantically searched for another woman.
Reportedly, she was someone who looked very much like Bai He.
Therefore, there were rumors in later generations that Yuan Zhinan had deeply loved Bai He, but in the end, power obliterated his love.
For his own empire, he personally killed the woman he loved and then crazily sought her doppelganger.
In the end, he remained unmarried for life.
