Anyone who stirs up trouble will be sent next door to watch Liao Li show off fifty times.
So, the tragic ending of the Emperor and Empress pairing was actually a defeat for traditional, positive-style fujoshi (fans of male-male romance) to twisted, heavy-handed fujoshi?
What's wrong with them? Do they have to cause them all this trouble just because they're into these two?
[Um...actually, this is how we ship couples...]
[Screenshot taken, will make memes later]
You know what... I've got that feel for it, I feel like I'm good again.
Tragedy resulting from different drug use methods
Ye Chu seems a bit asexual, but I didn't expect her to be so knowledgeable about romance.
[His sexual frigidity is hilarious! I've finally found the right word to describe Ye Chu!]
A sea of joyful comments erupted in the live chat. The host, however, gave Shang Yechu a curious look.
This question seems simple, but it's actually quite offensive. If Shang Yechu were to talk at length about the changes she made to the plot and the unparalleled achievements she made, it would inevitably come across as boastful. Leaving aside whether the screenwriters Zheng Bohan and Jing Fengnian would mind, the audience would be the first to object.
After all, even the Renminbi (RMB) can't be universally liked, so it's even less likely that Shang Yechu's revised storyline will suit everyone's tastes. If those who dislike the plot dissect it and judge it, he'll likely be labeled a mediocre writer.
And then there are the fans of the Emperor and Empress pairing—these fans don't care about educational value, the enhancement of the plot, or commercial value; they only care if their favorite pairing is fun to ship. If Shang Yechu were to emphasize some lofty value like "showing the emperor's ruthlessness" or "anti-feudalism," it would only provoke resentment—you think you're so anti-feudal?! I'd rather ship you and a reading machine than have to listen to your lectures while shipping a pairing!
Shang Yechu's answer was clever, subtly shifting the focus to "differences in how people consume food," naturally placing herself in the audience's shoes without being preachy, making it much easier for them to accept.
Being able to make sharp questions entertaining is also a skill. The host thought Shang Yechu was the kind of person who suddenly became famous and didn't know his place, but he didn't expect her to be so slippery, managing to answer four questions in a row in such a light and easy way.
Zheng Bohan chimed in at this moment, "Although I don't understand those young people's things like CP (couple pairing) and fangirling, I thought, hey, this plot design seems to make more sense. So I agreed."
This is probably the real reason.
[Of course! Zheng Bohan is so cunning. Isn't it obvious which is more despicable: dying of illness or being murdered?]
[Ye Chu's success was somewhat unintentional, haha]
[How could this be unintentional? Ye Chu speaks very eloquently; she must have thought this out carefully before designing this plot.]
Why does Su Ge seem more energetic now? Could it be that she's taken it too?
The host asked with a smile, "This question is still for Ye Chu. A Weibo user, 'I am A Zhao's Dog,' asked: How does Ye Chu view and evaluate Princess Pingzhao? Her ambition during her ascension to the throne was amazing. Is it because Ye Chu can empathize with Princess Pingzhao?"
Shang Yechu didn't answer immediately, but narrowed her eyes, indicating that she was thinking.
Shang Yechu gestured in the air, “To describe Emperor Pingzhao, I saw a clip on a website the other day called ‘Those who know me, those who condemn me, only the Spring and Autumn Annals can judge’ – I think these eight characters are quite fitting.”
The host laughed and asked, "So what's your own opinion?"
Shang Yechu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "There's no need to praise her, but also no need to condemn her. She's neither a saint nor a bad person; she's just an ambitious person of her time."
When she said this, Shang Yechu's expression was very serious, unlike the relaxed and lively tone she had when teasing Su Ge earlier; there was an indescribable sense of earnestness in her expression.
“As for the question of empathy later on—” Shang Yechu smiled, “Of course I love her. When Emperor Pingzhao ascended the throne, I was very, very happy for her. But I am even happier today.”
The host asked curiously, "Why?"
Princess Pingzhao lived in an era when a poor person was not as good as a dog from a noble family. But in this day and age, having the word "dog" in a nickname no longer means that a person is inferior to a dog; it is just an exaggerated expression of affection.
Shang Yechu smiled warmly and looked calm: "I am happy for the birth of Emperor Pingzhao, and even happier for his disappearance."
