Chapter 534: Chapter 534: Movie Sells Well 1_1 Chapter 534: Chapter 534: Movie Sells Well 1_1 Yueji saved Liunian’s life, and they finally confessed their feelings for each other.
Yuhuang fled on her wedding journey, encountering three women from different social classes along the way. After weathering countless hardships, she returned to Yue Country and discovered her true origin.
A series of disasters followed one after another. The ancient legend of the dragon once again spread throughout the seven nations, stirring fear amongst the people. As a result, Chu Country allied with the other five nations to wage war on Yue Country.
“I can’t forget the days we spent together at Changsun Mansion, Liunian. Wait for me to return,” Yueji said, slowly drawing his sword. The cold light of the blade reflected in his clear, sharp eyes. “Only by ending this war can things possibly get better.”
Liunian looked back at him, her voice trembling, “If … if I ask you to leave Yue Country and Changsun Mansion with me, would you agree?”
She was just a woman, unfamiliar with the intricacies of war, only wishing to spend the rest of her life with the one she loves.
In the long, winding corridor, Yueji, clad in battle armor, handed his cut-off hair to Liunian. Without a word, he turned and left. The light in Liunian’s eyes seemed to extinguish instantly, revealing a look of reluctance and pain. She chased after him in tears.
Until at a turn, Yueji’s figure disappeared completely from her sight. Liunian stood there, tears forming, finally falling from her eyes.
She staggered on the spot, despair apparent in her dark eyes. However, her lips slowly curled into a bitter smile. The sounds of painful whimpering echoed through the hall.
Liunian’s legs gave way, and she fell to her knees.
“I knew, you wouldn’t come back… ”
Yue Country was defeated, Yueji died on the battlefield, and Yuhuang dressed in her wedding clothes jumped from the city walls. Everything ended with the so-called victory of war.
Liunian crawled out of the mound of dead bodies, left Changsun Mansion, and also left Yue Country.
Years later, Liunian, looking into a mirror while applying makeup, sang a melodious tune. As she looked at her no-longer-youthful face, her hand fell weakly.
Blood from her poisoned lips slowly trickled down, accompanying her softly sighed words,
“Yueji, you broke your promise.”
The movie screen immediately dimmed, the words “The End” appeared, and the movie was over. Strangely, as the lights came on, no one stood up or left.
In the past, no matter which movie was playing, as soon as the end credits started and the theater lights turned on, there were always eager audiences ready to leave. Except for this time.
With a heavy heart, everyone remained seated. The reality of the war, the blood, and life portrayed in the movie undoubtedly left the viewers in deep thought.
No one cried and no one spoke; the room was eerily silent. The movie began with vibrant shots and colors. As the war worsened, the screen gradually turned gray. Everything flowed smoothly, yet pulled at the viewer’s heartstrings, leaving deep impressions in their hearts.
The girl sitting next to Qiao Xiaren suddenly burst into tears, dropping popcorn all over the floor, “It’s so tragic. The fate of these characters is so tragic. My idol had to live alone for so many years… ”
Although the people in the theater were strangers to each other, they couldn’t help but start discussing the plot.
“The scene Chen Lanjun and Qiao Xiaren acted out was too captivating. In fact, Yuhuang was an ambitious woman too, but she wasn’t decisive and brave like Wu Zetian. Instead, she blamed others for her failures and was jealous of Liunian. Otherwise, the first female emperor in history might not have been Wu Zetian, haha. Of course, I’m just rambling, after all, it’s just a movie.”
