Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead’s Counterattack-Chapter 271 - Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.3)
Chapter 271 Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.3)
This world’s dog blood plot is finally revealed.
“…We’ll talk about this later. Let me go home first.”
She knew that if this guy didn’t agree, let alone return to her home, it would be difficult to go out.
But in the end, whose body is she in?
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Ziju BaiLin immediately said, “Wife, you’re my family. You should also live in my house. Returning also means returning to my home.”
Then what, you won’t let your wife live anywhere else?
XunMi: “…”
This won’t do, really. “Arrange a room for me. I just came back today, so let me sleep before we continue this discussion.”
After she figured out what was going on, she would come back to her husband to settle accounts.
Ziju BaiLin happily held his wife’s hand and diligently entered the Marshal’s residence.
Although this house had just been prepared, the space was big enough. The outside looked like it was European-style, but the interior contained a layout in the Chinese-style, with a small pavilion and courtyard.
The arrangements were very good. Elegant with an expensive air that was characteristic of nobility, but also the artistic flair of the intellectual literati.
The innermost room on the second floor had four large windows facing the back garden. At this time, the pear trees in the garden had just opened. The blossoms were very white, with the occasional one or two clusters of pink poking out. It was very lovely.[1]
“I’ll be taking this room. You go take care of yourself how you see fit.” XunMi waved her hand dismissively, then pushed the other person out and closed the door with a bang.
The room here was big, and the scenery was nice. It was very much to her liking.
Outside the closed door, Ziju BaiLin was stunned. This wasn’t right, ah! It couldn’t be that after they were sharing the same bed and naturally had the feelings to do this and that, he would also be sent out?
(# ‵ ′) Fuck! Which son of a bitch wrote that book! His theory was totally unreliable![2]
The depressed Ziju BaiLin decided to go out and find the deputy general to vent his feelings and exchange pointers.
Inside the room, XunMi was lazily reclining on top of the bed, kneading the fluffy white ball in her hand with an attractive smile on her face.
“BaoBao, come, let’s calculate, how many times you’ve defrauded me, en!” When speaking of this, XunMi’s face was just as gloomy as Ziju BaiLin’s.
BaoBao impressively didn’t dare to breathe heavily and sought forgiveness: [Host, I just received an urgent notification. Moreover, Host, if you didn’t arrive at this time, the plot would change for the worse.]
XunMi picked up BaoBao with two fingers and swung back and forth, causing BaoBao to scream in fear. XunMi only showed mercy and stopped once BaoBao was too dizzy to see straight, and the whole fuzzy white ball didn’t look too good.
“Tell me about this world.” She adjusted herself into a good position, prepared to receive the relevant information.
She had actually arrived in the Republic of China, or at least that was the historical background, but the characters were all fictional.
This plane’s Female Lead was an opera singer[3] who played the main female role[4] in the most famous acting troupe in Li Hua Province, the Flowering Crab-apple Troupe.[5]
From a young age, she had grown up in this acting troupe. Because of her cleverness, everyone was fond of her.
After continuous efforts, she debuted on the stage in the opera Yang Guifei.[6] Her role as Imperial Consort Yang was an instant hit.
Henceforth her status shot up. She was also very hard-working. The audience for every performance was filled to capacity, and her popularity rose higher and higher.
It was at this time that the peaceful Li Hua Province was seized by the reportedly extremely despotic bandit warlord marshal.[7] He also made a high-profile move into Li Hua Province, thus breaking the peace of Li Hua Province.
Originally, this actress and this marshal should never have met. But a leading businessman who wanted to curry favor with the marshal drugged the Female Lead and delivered her to the marshal’s bed.
The marshal had a wild temperament and was naturally unhappy to fall into someone’s scheme.
He threw the Female Lead out on the spot, not caring at all what would happen to the drugged up Female Lead. After all, he didn’t know whether the woman had been a part of the conspiracy or was innocent.
The Law of Female Leads: when you encounter a crisis, that just means you’ll encounter a stroke of luck.
She was rescued by the Male Lead!
The Male Lead was also very awesome. Not only could he contend against this bandit marshal, he was also the Western Region Major General, not inferior in any respect.
In their interactions, the Male Lead was moved by the tenacity of the Female Lead. He felt that it was very rare to find such an optimistic and energetic woman in these troubled times.
They immediately promised themselves to each other for life. Naturally, the issue of the Female Lead’s recent close shave was brought up again.
Regarding the bandit marshal’s conduct and deeds, the Male Lead hated it to the bone. In addition, he wanted to take away the power held in the marshal’s hands.
He joined forces with the Northeast to encircle and annihilate the bandit marshal, and in the end the Male Lead finally won.
But because of this, the Southern Region lacked a hero to fight against the invaders.
The invaders saw their opportunity and attacked without restraint. The Western Region was too busy taking care of themselves. The Northeast was worried about treading in muddy waters.[8] All were unwilling to lend a hand.
As a result, the Southern Region fell into enemy hands, causing irreparable damage to other regions. Afterwards, the war fell into a state of stalemate, and the blood of fellow countrymen flowed again and again.
At this point, the war part of the story was finished. Finished… XunMi was stupefied.
The following part of the story continued with the romantic entanglements between the two leads. The Male Lead’s mother didn’t like the Female Lead because she was an actress and not worthy of her son.
The Female Lead left, broken-hearted. She accidentally met her father, was formally recognized, and returned home.
In the span of one day, she transformed from an opera singer into the precious daughter of an influential family. The Male Lead’s mother had nothing to say, and finally agreed. The two people had a Happy Ending.
At this point, the text ended. XunMi already didn’t know what expression she should wear. What about the war? Who won, who lost…
Was there really no problem with this ending? Or was she impatiently summoned here in order to repair this BUG[9] and initiate the ending?
She felt she wasn’t fit for such a friggin’ difficult task!
“Oh, that’s right. BaoBao, my identity is the Nian family’s daughter. In other words, the Female Lead is my younger sister?” Yet another younger sister. She couldn’t help but recall the first world’s Qin HuaiSe.[10] Please don’t be another fake white lotus covering a black heart.
[Yep, Host, the mission is out, la. Please take a look.]
BaoBao jumped out of XunMi’s palm and flopped onto the big bed carved out of pear wood. This silk was so smooth and cool, ah. And this bed had a faint, sweet fragrance, it smelled so comfortable, ah!
BaoBao came to the conclusion that the Marshal was really wealthy.
In fact, XunMi and BaoBao weren’t aware, but this room was originally intended for Ziju BaiLin. As a result, XunMi had occupied it by force. ┑ (￣Д￣) ┍
XunMi turned on the control panel, and in an instant had an expression of 囧.
Main Mission: Pursue the Male Lead, the Supporting Male Lead, and reach Good Feeling favorability ratings of 100.
Side Mission: Change the fate of an important character (Ziju BaiLin) and put the world back on the right track.
Triggered Mission: Discover the secret of the original body.
Hidden Mission: ?
Ha! Did this seduction strategy also come with an upgrade?!!
There was only one in the last world, and in this world it had become two. There won’t be three in the next world, right?
However, it must be said that the biggest pitfall in the last world was the seduction strategy. After marrying her husband, she had recalled there was also another general she never used the seduction strategy on.
Then she took a month looking for the name of this general who had never appeared, and as a result was pressed down by her jealous husband such that she couldn’t get out of bed for a week.
In the end, the pathetic response came. The hell! Her husband was precisely that general, ah!
She was so stupid that she dug her own hole to fall in. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Translator’s Notes
[1] The name of this province, Li Hua, means pear blossom.
[2] Lmao this boy and his books!
[3] Classical Chinese opera, not western opera.
[4] It actually says she plays the role of huādàn, which is one of six possible female lead roles. The huādàn actress requires “the gay, flirtatious personality of a young girl…Usually not of such a high social standing as the Qing Yi [a different female role], the Hua Dan actress with her coy, coquettish and generally quicker movements arrests the attention of the audience.” For more on (Beijing) opera roles, click here. Other regions have their own opera styles, but Beijing opera is probably the most famous, at least abroad.
[5] It sounds much prettier in Chinese, HaiTangHua.
[6] Yang YuHuan, aka Yang Guifei (Imperial Consort Yang) was a famous Tang dynasty beauty and consort to Emperor Xuanzhong. She was blamed for…things (potential rebellion, hungry soldiers, general crappy situation, etc. etc.) and the emperor was persuaded to put her to death. Many stories about her have been made in books, film, and television.
[7] Lol guess who.
[8] Alt. translation: to get involved in an unsavory enterprise.
[9] This was in English.
[10] Please refer to chapter 1. Qin HuaiSe was the illegitimate daughter who crashed XunMi’s 18th birthday party with their trashy dad.
