The year 2020.
"Hey? Have you heard? The Northern and Southern Dynasties are going to be made into a TV series again."
"Oh no, please be gentle, my Southern Emperor!"
"That's right. The version of Legend of the Southern Emperor that was filmed a few years ago ruined my image of the Southern Emperor. The Southern Emperor was described in history as being incomparably handsome, but the actor who played him was too old. My Southern Emperor wasn't that old when he ascended the throne."
"Yes, yes, they even portrayed the Southern Emperor as a harem. Although they didn't tamper with history in the end and there was still only one Empress Xiaoyuan, the various beauties in the process were really hard for me to accept."
“That’s right. If the Southern Emperor were really that romantic and amorous, why would he have married only Nan Xiangyue in the end?”
The girls in the history department dormitory at a university were having a lively discussion.
They get incredibly excited when talking about their favorite historical figures.
"I heard that this time the main focus is on the Northern Emperor, and the title of the drama is something like, oh right, it's the Great Wei Dynasty."
"Ahhh, you're going to film my Wei Wangqing!" A young girl who adored the Northern Emperor was overjoyed.
When it comes to the Northern Emperor, these young girls have plenty to talk about.
The measures taken by the Northern Emperor back then all benefited future generations.
Moreover, it was the actions of the two emperors, one in the north and one in the south, that led to the current gender equality and monogamy.
"I hope the actor playing Chen Zhiyan can be handsome, after all, he's the kind of person who can make the Northern Emperor give up a forest!"
"Haha, yes, and the child actors who play their children have to be cute."
The discussion is going on nonstop in the dorms, and the internet is also a scene of fierce online debate.
"Great, great, I have another TV series to watch."
"What? Another adaptation?"
"Can't screenwriters these days film something they wrote themselves? It's either historical fiction or novel adaptations. I'm speechless."
“It would be great to play the Northern Emperor. I think the Northern Emperor’s rise to power is quite legendary.”
"Absolutely! The Northern Emperor's throne practically fell from the sky!"
"Hahaha, the person upstairs is really hilarious. How do you know that the Northern Emperor isn't just pretending to be weak? History books aren't necessarily comprehensive. After all, who can know what the Northern Emperor is really thinking?"
"You know that nobody knows what's in the Northern Emperor's heart, so what makes you think you're right? If the Northern Emperor wanted to ascend to the throne, he would have done it long ago. Why would he have waited so long?"
"Hey, you two upstairs, stop arguing. No matter what, the Northern Emperor's achievements cannot be erased, isn't that enough?"
"Exactly, these people are just too serious. What's the point of arguing about this, especially over an ancient person?"
"The person upstairs should watch their mouth."
Xiao Xiao is a working professional. She had heard that a new drama was going to start filming and was quite interested in this period of history. She was also browsing Weibo out of boredom, but when she saw that the comments on this post were too hostile, she stopped reading it.
I continued browsing and suddenly saw a Weibo post. Oh?
This is quite interesting.
#The Great Wei Dynasty# As the filming of The Great Wei Dynasty is about to begin, let's take a look at the male confidants of Emperor Wei Wangqing of the North.
The official couple: Chen Zhiyan, who is of course the well-known imperial consort. You deserve to have an empress who only marries one person.
The North-South CP: The North-South Double Yellow CP, which has been arguing a lot lately, definitely has to be mentioned. If you ask me, what were you thinking, pairing these two together when they are both extremely devoted people?
The Emperor and His Minister: There are a few things worth mentioning about the relationship between the Northern Emperor and the Prime Minister, you know what I mean. [Smirking face]
Which couple do you prefer? Please share your thoughts in the comments!
Xiao Xiao immediately clicked on the comments, eager to see everyone's opinions.
"Blogger, please don't randomly pair up couples. Of course, we should support the official pairings!"
This comment currently has the most likes, so Xiao Xiao continues reading.
"You can't say that, blogger. If it weren't true love, why would the Southern Emperor and the Northern Emperor sign a peace agreement? They are clearly not easy to get along with, yet they have always maintained friendly relations. Perhaps they had to separate because of their status."
It was obvious that this person had imagined a whole tragic love story, and Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly.
But if you click on the comments, it's a complete mess.
"You can't just say things like that. I advise you to use your brain. If they were truly in love, why would they both get married? Are they just trying to ruin other people's lives?"
The original poster replied: "Of course it's for the royal family to have more offspring. I have six walnuts here, do you want some?"
"It was said before that the Northern Emperor had countless male confidants before he ascended the throne. Only you bunch of fools are still indulging in your own little world. The Northern Emperor is no match for the Southern Emperor. The Southern Emperor is the one who is truly virtuous and deeply affectionate. Please don't confuse the two, thank you."
"The comment from the Southern Emperor upstairs is a high-level satire, no explanation needed."
"There are also rumors that the Northern Emperor had an ambiguous relationship with a certain doctor outside the palace, but this may be unofficial history and may not be accurate! Please be gentle with your comments."
"It's best not to make any unverified statements. You've all said it's just a rumor."
There are still reasonable people among them.
However, Xiao Xiao simply glanced at these discordant remarks and ignored them.
But upon closer inspection, it appears there are quite a few people who strongly support the emperor-minister pairing.
"That's right. Prime Minister Meng Jiujiu never married in her life. Who can say that she didn't do it for our Empress?"
"Oh dear, please stop talking upstairs, it's breaking my heart."
"The Prime Minister is absolutely a loyal dog, I love him, I'm totally sold on this recommendation."
"Very well, it's just the Great Wei Dynasty, I'll go after it."
Xiao Xiao liked the last comment.
Xiao Xiao found it quite amusing to watch these people making witty remarks.
However, she herself doesn't care about forming any couples. These people are too far removed from her, and the information she gets in modern times may not be accurate, so she won't make any comments.
Another Weibo post popped up, speculating which celebrities would be starring in the Great Wei Dynasty.
Xiao Xiao also wanted to see which actors would be involved, and whether any of her favorite celebrities would be among them.
When Xiao Xiao opened the app, she was immediately overwhelmed by a flood of controlled comments.
"If you ask me, only my son Hongfei can bring out the charm of Chen Zhiyan."
"And then there's Senbao. My Senbao is beautiful and has great acting skills. She's the perfect person to play the Northern Emperor."
"Please, certain marketing accounts, stop using pictures of my Yingying. We don't believe anything that isn't official. Take my Yingying away, we're not interested."
Seeing that everyone here was promoting their own idols, Xiao Xiao wasn't interested.
The way fans control comments these days is really too much. You can't even see any objective comments from ordinary people; they're all buried to the bottom.
They especially promote their idols to anyone associated with celebrities.
Do these fans even realize that their promotions are ruining their public image?
"Xiao Xiao, come to the meeting."
"Okay, I'm here." Xiao Xiao turned off her phone and went back to work.
And there are countless others like Xiao Xiao, all captivated by the history books written by Wei Wangqing.
