Chapter 923: Chapter 921 Movie 5

"Everyone rise."

The scene suddenly dims, a historical female emperor who built a prosperous era, inaugurated glorious years, and her name recorded in the annals of history. This once despised and spurned Empress eventually subdued the rebellion of the feudal princes with an iron fist, preserving the prosperous empire.

Forty years later, the Empress is gravely ill in bed with not much time left.

During the national mourning, the palace maid suddenly discovers that the Empress is missing, plunging everyone into the chaos of searching for her without any clue of her whereabouts.

Tomb

The stone door slowly opens.

Qiao Xiaren, portraying an elderly Di Ge, has very realistic facial wrinkles, yet her piercing, cold gaze remains unchanged.

Standing beside her is Xiaocui, the Palace Maid who has been with her from youth to old age, now probably addressed as nanny.

Inside the tomb, rests Fo Zhu.

"Your Majesty, have you really decided?"

"My days are numbered, this is my only wish," Di Ge slowly looks back, outside the tomb there is peace, the light refracts as if a lifetime has passed.

Fo Zhu, I am coming.

Watching the stone door slowly closing, Xiaocui couldn’t help but tear up continuously, and the moment the door shut, she saw a smile on the Empress’s face.

A long passage with several Large Night Luminous Pearls placed by the side.

Di Ge slowly walks over, seeing the skeleton inside the coffin, her aged hand slowly caresses it, lying beside it. The moment she closes her eyes, a tear falls.

The first is best unseen, for then we cannot fall in love.

The second is best unknown, for then we cannot pine.

The third is best unaccompanied, for then we owe nothing.

The fourth is best not detailed, for then we need not recall.

...

It would be best to part completely from you, to prevent life and death from binding us in longing.

The story ends, and the movie theater lights up suddenly, plunging everyone into heated discussions again. Everyone is so excited they don’t want to leave; besides various other emotions, excitement predominates!

Okay, throughout the movie, they all noted two characters, Di Ge and Fo Zhu, this imperial couple’s story is rather heart-wrenching. Seeing Di Ge ascend to the throne was somehow thrilling, yet their tragedy felt saddening.

Initially, they felt it unfair and raged against the scoundrel for the cold treatment the Empress endured, later they felt the Empress shouldn’t have hurt Fo Zhu, only to realize in the end that the Empress was the ultimate BOSS, strategically plotting for the imperial conquest.

The audience’s emotions start to intensify.

"Empress, quickly crush that despicable concubine!"

"Your Majesty, swiftly crush those scoundrels!"

The twists and turns kept the audience’s emotions in a constant flux. They thought Di Ge had never loved Fo Zhu from the beginning, but seeing the final scene where they died together, tears suddenly streamed down their faces.

They spent their lives in mutual suspicion, always calculating against each other, but fortunately, they ended up together.

Though it was in death.

So tragic, yet for some unknown reason, it feels strangely satisfying.

This deeply complex sentiment prompts the audience to start criticizing Director Jiang and the screenwriter Chen Hong.

Can’t we have a better ending?

Director Jiang says: I’m also hopeless, what can I do.

"Sister, I’ve noticed that the dramas you act in are all so tragic, but honestly, that last appearance was powerful!"

Yeqian mutters on the side, Qiao Xiaren smiles at him, "You seem to have a point, although I’ve chosen good scripts recently, I haven’t noticed these points, perhaps I’ll try different roles in the future."
