32 chapter 3.2
◎Lanhua's Dilemma◎
As expected, Lan Hua quickly received the authorization. However, the authorization specifically stated that if a character using the image of Regas has a romantic storyline, the image of the romantic partner must completely match Lan Ye's; otherwise, it would be considered a breach of contract, and the authorization would be terminated immediately…
"How stingy," Lan Hua said with a scoff as she looked at the special statement.
Lan Yang: "..." Young Master, please tone down that lewd smile before saying such things, so it doesn't seem so insincere. But Lan Yang only dared to think it to himself; if he said it aloud, he was sure he'd be stuck as a master of ceremonies for life...

"Gani! Gani! We love you!"
"Ahhh!!! It's so beautiful!"
"OMG, she's so beautiful! She's practically glowing in person!"
Gani smiled politely, waved to the fans, and then sat down with the main cast in the seats arranged for him.
This is a preview screening of the film "Beauty Under the Moon." The film has garnered significant attention since its inception, as it was practically tailor-made for Jia Ni and fully funded by the Third Prince, Ou Sai, who claimed it was his engagement gift to her. The film is set shortly after their engagement, during the most fervent period of the love-hate relationship between Lan Ye, the Third Prince, and Jia Ni.
Furthermore, the film's creative team has openly and subtly indicated that the script is actually based on Gani's own experiences, and the protagonist is modeled after Gani herself. Therefore, the film will reveal many emotional secrets unknown to the public. Gani will also personally participate in the writing process, offering precious inner reflections, making it a highly anticipated film.
Gani and Lan Ye are already top-tier celebrities. This movie can be seen as using the royal love triangle between the two superstars and also making Lan Ye a hot topic. From the start of filming until now, it has been the most watched movie in the entertainment industry, without exception.
Now, this highly anticipated film has finally completed filming and post-production and will soon be released to the public, making the gossip-loving public eager for more. After all, although the public displays of affection between Jia Ni and the Third Prince are a tired trope, this film is more than just about romance; most importantly, it features Lan Ye! Even from Jia Ni's perspective, the film would undoubtedly favor her, but Lan Ye is in it!
What they want to eat is gossip and scandals, especially between top celebrities! Of course, many people also expressed their skepticism about this movie. After all, the investment and main creative team are on Jia Ni's side, so they will definitely glorify the protagonist to an extreme. Let alone objective narration, it may be more distorted than the public's imagination... Especially after the actor playing a role similar to Lan Ye was announced, not only Lan Ye's fans, but even casual viewers and haters felt that this movie would definitely focus on praising Jia Ni while completely vilifying Lan Ye.
The actress playing a role similar to Lan Ye isn't unattractive, but she's nowhere near as beautiful as Lan Ye herself. Lan Ye has a bright and flamboyant appearance, while this actress's looks are rather bland, barely deserving of the description of pretty. Jia Ni, on the other hand, is elegant and refined, matching this actress's style... Standing next to Jia Ni, this actress appears even more lackluster. It's hard not to say that this casting wasn't deliberately intentional.
When interviewed, Gani smiled with a reserved yet elegant demeanor: "Thank you all for your attention to my new film. This film can be considered a semi-autobiographical film."
He glanced at the audience and continued, "This is a gift for myself and for those who like me and want to know me."
“It’s not just about love, but also about family and some of my daily life.” Jia Ni smiled warmly and approachably. “To make it more realistic, many scenes were filmed on location. The manor and palace in the story are all real, including the everyday clothes and supplies.”
The preview screening of "The Moonlit Beauty" was essentially a personal showcase for Gani, with all the interviews and Q&A revolving around her. The screening was, of course, streamed live on the StarNet.
"Why do I feel so uncomfortable? I still prefer Lan Ye's kind of show-off who is straightforward and flamboyant, and I can't stand this kind of subtle yet superior show-off."
"Lan Ye's fans, shut up. Your idol is in a mental hospital. So, people should know their place and stop coveting things that don't belong to them."
"Let's fight! By the way: Sunflower seeds, peanuts, and bottled water are available for sale in the front row."
"Gani fans are hilarious. Your God has it, but you don't have it yourselves. Don't get too caught up in this..."
"That 'Blue Leaf' is so ugly! How can someone with that kind of appearance be portrayed as a top-tier celebrity in the show?"
"'Lan Ye' is too obviously a target, but the casting is really hard to describe. I'm not criticizing the actor, but it's obvious that the creators or so-and-so wanted to use him to smear Lan Ye."
"Does Lan Ye even need to be criticized? Well, in terms of appearance, 'Lan Ye' is truly an insult to Lan Ye."
"It's clear how much Jia Ni resents Lan Ye. Without that prestigious status, how could his appearance possibly compare to Lan Ye's?"
"Even the Third Prince chose him because his status gave him a big advantage. Lan Ye really lost because his backing wasn't as good as his."
"Huh? Where did the comments go? I just finished reading them and they disappeared, cough cough."
"Haha, Ni Ni Zi has been controlling the comments for a long time now. You guys are even comparing him with Ye Ye Zi and making fun of him. Tsk tsk tsk."
"It's insane. Now you can't even comment on him. I'm fed up with this atmosphere of one person dominating the discussion and keeping everyone quiet. Can't someone do something about this?"
"Dream on. There aren't many people with higher status and stronger backing than him; you can count them on your fingers. And among those few people, who would care about such trivial matters in the entertainment industry? Which of those big shots would be so bored?"
"I feel sorry for Ye Ye Zi. Not only was she tricked into going to a sanatorium, but she was also made into a movie and then trampled on."
...
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Hey, what are you looking at? Why are you laughing so happily?" Lan Hua had just finished bathing and walked into the study wearing a bathrobe when she saw Lan Yang laughing like a fool in front of the screen.
Lan Yang quickly wiped the smile off her face and pursed her lips to indicate that she wasn't smiling. "No, where am I smiling?"
Lan Hua glanced at the screen and said, "You're actually looking at gossip?"
Lan Yang said with a serious face, "I'm just keeping an eye on public opinion surrounding you, Young Master."
Lan Hua smiled and said, "Is that so? Then I'll transfer you from the fleet to an entertainment industry team?"
"I was wrong," Lan Yang said quickly.
Lan Hua sat down behind the desk, fiddling with the planetarium, and said lazily, "You'll be going to the capital planet again in a while."
Lan Yang: "Is it because of the Third Prince Ou Sai's marriage?"
The Third Prince, Osei, and Gani Subek got engaged a month after Osei broke off his engagement with Lan Ye, and at the same time, they also set a date for their official wedding. It was indeed fast approaching. Before Crown Prince Regas and Lan Hua returned, their wedding invitations had already been sent throughout the entire universe. This should have been big news for a while, but it was ultimately overshadowed by the news of Crown Prince Regas's survival and return.
Once Lan Hua recovered, Duke Lan Xi immediately relinquished his responsibilities and returned to Ning Hui Star. He was now free of burdens, but this resulted in Lan Hua taking over a large number of affairs. However, because of what had happened before, Lan Hua was in the wrong and could only reluctantly handle the affairs of the Southern Region.
Although Lan Yang knew he couldn't escape, he still had to state his position: "Young Master, I am a Rear Admiral of the Fleet! The Southern Region has a special etiquette officer."
Just kidding, the last time he went there was only because Lan Hua was one of the main characters. He went there to clean up Lan Hua's mess! Now that it's the Third Prince and Jia Ni's wedding, what's he going there for?
Lan Hua naturally knew Lan Yang's thoughts and smiled, "You're just taking advantage of my doting on you." For anyone else, Lan Hua's orders were ironclad; no matter what the order was, they would simply obey.
Lan Yang: "I am truly flattered, sob sob." Lan Yang and Lan Hua grew up together since childhood, sharing a deep bond where Lan Hua would take the blame when Lan Hua caused trouble, and Lan Hua would get beaten up when Lan Hua stirred up trouble. Except for the matter of Regas, where he remained silent, and unconditionally obeyed orders in battle, Lan Yang always dared to speak his mind on other matters. Although he ultimately carried out Lan Hua's orders, he always defended his freedom of speech!
Lan Yang understood that Lan Hua was right. He was the only one in the entire Southern Region who dared to speak to Lan Hua like that.
Lan Hua's smile faded, and she said, "This time, you must go again."
Looking at Lan Hua's expression, Lan Yang knew things might not be as simple as he thought. He asked, "Is this wedding not just about forming an alliance?"
If it were merely the wedding of the Third Prince and Gani Subek, and the Southern Region simply wanted to make a gesture, sending a protocol officer would suffice. After all, the Southern Region had always been indifferent to the other three regions and the royal family; sending a protocol officer was just standard practice. Sending a protocol officer was already more than enough of a show of respect.
“It’s still uncertain,” Lan Hua said, sliding the planetarium to the capital star. “However, I’m afraid this wedding won’t be so peaceful.”
Lan Yang: "..." This Third Prince Ou Sai is truly unlucky; his marriages, one or two times in a row, haven't been peaceful. However, he could only sigh, after all, the Third Prince is also a wolf in sheep's clothing, selling his marriages time and time again; there's a cause for every effect.
Lan Yang said, "I understand. Is there anything I need to prepare?"
Lan Hua waved away the virtual star instrument and said, "I'm just informing you of this for now. I have my own arrangements. If necessary, I may have to go there in person."
Lan Hua sighed and said, "You can go now."
Lan Yang nodded and obediently left Lan Hua's study. From Lan Hua's attitude, Lan Yang knew that this wedding might just be a smokescreen, and something big was about to happen behind the scenes.
"Let's just send Lan Yang." Lan Hua was conflicted. He really wanted to go and see the excitement, maybe even take advantage of the chaos... but going to the capital star for the wedding would inevitably mean running into Regas.
So, should I stay in the Southern Region and be a couch potato, or go to the capital planet to watch the excitement?
