Chapter 79: 049 He has a secret hidden on him (Part 1 update)_3

Shen You’an spotted Luuo Yunqi among the actors. Clearly, Luuo Yunqi also saw her, and her face visibly darkened.

However, Luuo Yunqi seemed to manage her emotions quite well. She quickly composed herself, walked over as if nothing happened, greeted Qi Baotan, and once again apologized to her for what happened the other day.

Qi Baotan had already learned that Tian Wei’s incident was orchestrated by Luuo Yunqi behind the scenes. Seeing Luuo Yunqi calmly speaking to her now, Qi Baotan couldn’t help but admire her ability to control her emotions.

At the same time, a warning bell rang in her heart. Such a person absolutely couldn’t be trusted deeply—otherwise, one wouldn’t even know when they’d been sold out.

After exchanging polite pleasantries, the two went their separate ways to attend to their respective tasks.

After receiving the notification that she had passed the audition, Qi Baotan obtained the script. She had been reading it carefully these past few days, developing a character biography for her role with great dedication.

The film was titled *Laughing in the Jianghu*, a grand wuxia production intertwining martial arts, political intrigue, and the world of the Jianghu. The story revolved around the legendary life of the female protagonist, Yusheng.

Yusheng was a wandering heroine of the Jianghu since childhood, punishing evil, promoting justice, and helping the needy. One fateful day, she unintentionally saved an old man. Before passing away, the old man imparted his supreme martial art to her—this was the unparalleled Purple Sun Divine Skill that later plunged the Jianghu into chaos.

With the supreme martial art in her possession, Yusheng became the target of relentless pursuit by the Jianghu. Her escape was a grim, desperate ordeal.

During one perilous moment, she was rescued by a handsome scholar named Chenyu. The two were inseparable, gradually developing feelings for each other, and they promised to live out their days in peaceful seclusion.

In the bamboo grove of the mountains, they exchanged marital vows and consummated their union. Everything was as beautiful as a dream, and Yusheng resolved to leave behind the Jianghu to focus on being a wife and mother.

But when she woke up the next morning, her dream was shattered.

Chenyu had vanished without a trace, and the Purple Sun Divine Skill was gone as well.

Yusheng couldn’t believe that Chenyu had deceived her and firmly believed he must have had an unspeakable reason—or had been captured by her enemies. Thus began her journey in search of her husband.

Following the clues, she arrived at the capital. At that time, the Crown Prince was hosting his grand wedding. The Commandery Princess was being sent off with an extravagant bridal procession that stretched for miles.

She saw the young man riding the tall horse in brilliant red attire, majestic and awe-inspiring—he was none other than the husband she had been desperately searching for for a year.

She brandished her blade, blocking the white horse’s path, facing the current Crown Prince from across the sea of people.

It turned out that all their affections had been nothing but a meticulously constructed lie. The Crown Prince had disguised himself as a scholar solely to obtain the Purple Sun Divine Skill from her to secure his claim to the throne.

Marrying Princess Hengyang was yet another calculated move to consolidate his position.

The Crown Prince offered no explanation, instead calling her a traitor and sentencing her to death. Elite guards of the imperial palace emerged, encircling her completely.

Leading the charge was Feng Qingge, the empire’s foremost female general—a seasoned warrior who had fought countless battles and was the Crown Prince’s most trusted confidante.

Yusheng lost miserably in this battle but refused to yield. Despite the blood streaming from her body, all she wanted was an explanation.

Feng Qingge, being a fellow woman, felt admiration for Yusheng’s unwavering determination and chose not to deal the fatal blow.

Later, Princess Hengyang learned the truth and began to hunt down Yusheng.

Amid repeated life-or-death trials, the despondent Yusheng eventually succumbed to inner demons during her martial arts training, transforming into a cold-blooded killer. Her ultimate goal became the overthrow of the imperial dynasty and the beheading of Chenyu.

Afterwards, Feng Qingge herself was framed by Princess Hengyang and forced to flee into the Jianghu, where she found refuge under Yusheng’s protection. The two became inseparable comrades.

Chenyu gained everything he ever wanted but lost the one he loved most. Just as he came to his senses, the ambitious Princess Hengyang set a trap to lure Yusheng to the palace.

In the end, Feng Qingge sacrificed herself to save Yusheng, leaving Yusheng devastated. She recklessly killed Princess Hengyang and ultimately collapsed into Chenyu’s arms, the tip of her blade pressing against his chest but never piercing through.

Though he was not a good man, he was a good emperor.

Having wandered among the common people since childhood, Yusheng understood the devastation a foolish and inept ruler could bring to the masses. Ultimately, she gave up her hatred, using her death to fulfill his imperial endeavor for the sake of the people.

Seated atop the highest throne, Chenyu would smile no more.

Though he gained everything, he lost everything, destined to become the loneliest and most tormented man in the world.

Qi Baotan’s character was Feng Qingge, a supporting role ranked as the third female lead. She played a righteous female general and had many martial arts scenes. Preparing for these would take significant time, especially under the scrupulous Director Cen, who ensured that her upcoming days would be far from ordinary.
