Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Chapter 79 Modern Entertainment Industry 25

As Yu Nuan's acting improved, the filming went increasingly smoothly. Soon, they arrived at the final scene where Yu Nuan's character dies.

In the drama, after the emperor's concubines served him, he became increasingly interested in her and doted on her more and more, which aroused the envy and jealousy of the other concubines in the harem. However, the emperor protected the foreign princess very carefully, so that she was not harmed at all.

However, the little princess was not happy despite the emperor's favor; she remained melancholy. Her heart was heavy with sorrow, and her health deteriorated. The emperor summoned renowned physicians from across the land, but none could cure her.

The little princess knew that her illness was psychological and that medicine was not effective. Later, she secretly threw away the medicine that her maid had prepared for her.

Xinlian, the maid who had grown up with the princess, watched helplessly as her health deteriorated. She was heartbroken but powerless to help. Because Xinlian understood the princess so well, she knew that nothing she did would be of any use unless she could lead the princess away from the palace—a pipe dream for her.

The emperor returned victorious from his campaign and, upon entering the palace, heard the news that Consort Xin was seriously ill. He rushed to her bedchamber without even changing his clothes. The fact that the little princess was promoted to Consort in such a short time demonstrates the emperor's favor towards her.

Emperor Li Jinchuan watched as his beloved concubine's breathing weakened, and she finally died in his arms. He held her for a long time without moving.

A large group of imperial physicians knelt below, none daring to step forward and announce the news of Consort Xin's death. Everyone could see the emperor's love for the consort.

Finally, it was Eunuch Wang who approached the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences."

Li Jinchuan then made a move, looking down at the Imperial Concubine, a tear glistening in her eyes, before quickly regaining her usual cold expression.

"Wang Ji, inform the Ministry of Rites that Consort Xin is posthumously honored as Empress Xinyi and buried in the imperial mausoleum with the rites due to an empress."

“This…” Wang Ji wanted to remind the Emperor that this was against etiquette, but when he looked up and saw the Emperor’s unquestionable expression, he lowered his head and replied, “Yes.”

Wang Ji had served the Emperor the longest and knew him best. Although the Emperor seemed the same as usual, Wang Ji knew that the death of Consort Xin had been a great blow to him.

"Card."

Upon hearing Director Li's voice, Yu Nuan happily sat up and went to the monitor to watch the playback with him. Director Li nodded in satisfaction, very pleased with Yu Nuan's performance.

"Great, Yu Nuan, congratulations on wrapping up filming." Director Li handed Yu Nuan the bouquet of flowers and a red envelope that his assistant had prepared for her.

Yu Nuan happily accepted it, saying with a smile, "Director Li, thank you for your guidance during this time."

For Yu Nuan, being able to work with a renowned director like Director Li is extremely beneficial to her acting development.

"I hope we can continue to work together in the future." Director Li is very satisfied with Yu Nuan now.

"I couldn't be happier," Yu Nuan happily agreed. However, Yu Nuan knew that this might be the last film she would make. With her contract with the company about to expire, Yu Nuan was not planning to accept any more gigs.

Upon hearing that Yu Nuan had finished filming, Zheng Yanya and Wu Xiong both came to congratulate her. That evening, the two insisted on getting together, and Yu Nuan readily agreed. With their jobs, it's rare for them to find time to get together even if they're not filming together. Moreover, Yu Nuan is retiring from the entertainment industry, so it's unlikely they'll have much contact in the future.

Yu Nuan was very happy to have met such two wonderful people in her final days, who took care of her like older brothers and sisters.

Yu Nuan was excited all night, chatting and laughing with everyone. In her happiness, she inevitably drank some wine.

Fearing that Yu Nuan might get drunk again, Shen Yang took away Yu Nuan's cup and handed her a drink instead.

Seeing this, Zheng Yanya couldn't help but tease, "Shen Yang, you haven't even gotten the status of a boyfriend yet, but you dare to control our Yu Nuan."

Shen Yang smiled and did not refute.

Yu Nuan smiled shyly, but didn't pick up the wine glass again. She drank the juice that Shen Yang had poured for her afterwards.

After the meal, the gathering place was not far from the hotel. Wu Xiong and Zheng Yanya left first, while Yu Nuan waited at the door for Shen Yang to pay the bill. Originally, Yu Nuan was going to treat everyone to dinner, but she couldn't win against Shen Yang. On this point, Shen Yang was assertive and did not back down. Shen Yang now considers Yu Nuan as one of his own.

There weren't many pedestrians on the road, and the two walked in silence.

Fortunately, both of them had disguised themselves and were not recognized.

"What's wrong with you today? You've been acting strange since filming wrapped up." As they reached a corner, Yu Nuan couldn't help but stop and ask.

Shen Yang was unusually silent all night.

"I am fine."

"No, something must be wrong, Shen Yang. Tell me what it is, I don't like to guess like this."

Shen Yang stared intently at Yu Nuan, then suddenly called out very seriously, "Yu Nuan."

"Ah."

"I like you, no, I love you. Be with me! I'll treat you well from now on."

The current situation is quite different from the confession scene that Shen Yang had envisioned, and it was also outside of Shen Yang's plans. However, seeing Yu Nuan gradually stop breathing in his arms today, even though he knew it was all an act and fake, the feeling of loss was too heartbreaking, and Shen Yang still hasn't been able to recover.

"Okay!"

Without any hesitation, Yu Nuan accepted Shen Yang's confession.

In fact, the two have been getting along like a couple deeply in love during this time, only lacking the formality of being together.

Upon hearing Yu Nuan's agreement, Shen Yang was momentarily stunned, seemingly a little incredulous. But looking into Yu Nuan's gentle eyes, she realized that Yu Nuan had indeed agreed and happily hugged her.

Holding Yu Nuan in her arms, Shen Yang finally felt that she truly possessed Yu Nuan.

"I had planned a candlelight dinner to confess my feelings to you, but I didn't expect to tell you my feelings so hastily. Yu Nuan, thank you for not minding."

"I don't care about these things, I just know how good you are to me."

The newlywed couple walked hand in hand back to the hotel, where they ran into Director Li, who was also returning to the hotel.

"Director Li."

"Oh! You're out on a date."

The two smiled but didn't speak, but it was obvious to anyone that they were being very affectionate. It was almost unbearable to watch. Director Li said he was too old to see these young people being so lovey-dovey and quickly went back to his room.

Shen Yang escorted Yu Nuan to her room, watched her enter the room, and then left.

Yu Nuan felt embarrassed to invite Shen Yang to come inside and sit for a while.

Back in his room, Shen Yang was too excited to sleep. He had finally won over the girl he loved, and he couldn't wait to tell the whole world.

Shen Yang flipped through the photo album on her phone. There were many photos of Yu Nuan, as well as photos of the two of them together. Shen Yang used to dislike taking pictures the most, and would only take one or two if she encountered some beautiful scenery.

But everything changed after meeting Yu Nuan. Shen Yang's greatest joy now is taking photos of Yu Nuan and recording every beautiful moment of her life.
