Chapter 730 - 719: The Male Supporting Character’s Bai Yueguang
After getting engaged, the two of them didn’t retire from the limelight as netizens had imagined. However, the scripts they chose were very particular, mostly without intimate scenes involving others, and they predominantly appeared in variety shows.
Although they often flaunted their affection online, it wasn’t at all off-putting. The primary reason was that nearly all their earnings from acting were donated to charity. Their foundation was transparent and public, allowing netizens to track each and every penny, with no deceit involved.
One year after their engagement, they got married in the castle Su Sui gifted to Ye Qiu, witnessed by their friends and relatives. The haters who wished for their breakup were once again disappointed.
In the years that followed, Ye Qiu and Su Sui would travel around the world on their cruise ship, and lucky fans would occasionally be invited to join. Although Ye Qiu was high-profile and wilful, attracting many haters, her generosity and straightforwardness won her many loyal hardcore fans. Ye Qiu and Su Sui proved the haters wrong over and over again in front of these fans, becoming one of the happiest married couples in the entertainment industry, alongside Jiang Yao and Chu Weiwei.
After marrying Su Sui, Ye Qiu never fell ill again and was never forced to stay at home. Although, when Ye Qiu hung out with her best friends Jiang Yao and Chu Weiwei, Su Sui would get quietly jealous.
Because his mental illness was never fully cured, they chose not to have children. Ten years into their marriage, they adopted a boy. Although the adoption was by the two of them, his upbringing was entrusted to the eldest brother Su Yi, who became the next Sect Leader of Su Wan Group.
Ye Fu Ye Jian Country passed away peacefully at the age of ninety, without suffering any pain.
When he left, Ye Entertainment had already become one of the top entertainment companies in Hua Country with astonishing assets. After being jealous of his son-in-law from the time his daughter got married, he later bought Ye Qiu an even bigger ship, thus she was known as the Princess of the Ship.
After Ye Fu’s departure, Ye Qiu was downcast for a while. But she knew that the one thing her father was most worried about before he left was her. Therefore, she lived even more boldly and unrestrainedly afterward, wanting her father in Heaven to know that his daughter would always live well.
Thirty years later, on a certain clear morning, Su Sui, who was becoming increasingly frail due to old age, was nevertheless full of energy. He got up and prepared a sumptuous dinner for Ye Qiu, then took a walk with her, watered the roses in the garden, and finally invited Ye Qiu for one last dance.
After the dance, he didn’t say anything but gently kissed Ye Qiu’s forehead and then closed his eyes with a smile.
When Su Sui passed away, Ye Qiu laid him on the bed, and then she called their adopted son before lying down herself. By the time Su Ran arrived, what he saw were two peaceful and serene corpses, holding hands with faint smiles on their faces.

"Task completed, do you wish to enter the next world?"
"No."
After Ye Qiu spoke, she entered the space and submerged her entire body into the newly created Spiritual Spring Pool. After a long while, she lifted her head, and once again became the cold, unfeeling, calm, and collected version of herself.
The Little Golden Crow was still meditating in the Spiritual Stone Mountain just like before, but the Spiritual Energy around it grew more and more dense, and occasionally, a glint of golden-red light could be seen.
Upon leaving the space, the System remained on that page. After she said "No," the same rigid line of text reappeared: Task completed, do you wish to enter the next world?
"Yes."
"Quick, quickly take the second young lady back to her room, send someone to invite Doctor Liu."
"Furong, go report to the Old Master and the Lady immediately."
"Eldest Lady, please take a seat first."
As soon as Ye Qiu regained consciousness, she was met with this chaotic cacophony, causing her brows to furrow even more tightly. Then she noticed something was wrong with her body; every breath she took was like bellows being pulled, even tugging at her lungs and heart, causing unbearable pain, her limbs also weak and limp, allowing others to move her around as they pleased.
She closed her eyes to recall the storyline of this world.
This body was born into the Imperial Merchant Ye Family, and she was the legitimate second daughter of Ye Borong, the Old Master of the Ye Residence. In addition to her, Ye Borong had a legitimate eldest daughter and a legitimate youngest son, among whom the eldest daughter, Ye Xia, and Ye Qiu were twins.
Though they were twins, their fates were entirely different; Ye Xia was well-nourished in the womb, and even though Madam Ye encountered complications during delivery, she was born smoothly. However, Ye Qiu was weak from the womb and due to spending too much time in utero, she was born with a doctor’s pronouncement of a short life.
The two were just like their names, one was Xia, representing life and vitality; the other was Qiu, destined to wither and fall.
Because the doctor predicted that Ye Qiu would have a short life, Ye Borong and Madam Ye also feared too much grief at their daughter’s passing, and thus, deliberately avoided getting close to her from a young age, leaving only the wet nurse and maidservants to take care of her.
However, since the family was engaged in commerce, they were not short of money. To compensate for their inner guilt, precious medicinal ingredients were sent to Ye Qiu’s Luoxia Courtyard like water. Later on, by a stroke of luck, the Ye family became Imperial Merchants and even had the privilege of inviting Imperial Physicians to treat her. After ups and downs, Ye Qiu barely clung to life until the age of fourteen.
But this wasn’t the reason that "Ye Qiu" died full of resentment. She resented the blatant unfairness of her parents, who always claimed to dote on her the most. If they truly loved her, would they not know her true preferences? Would they have her marry Prince Li as a substitute for her legitimate sister? Would they allow her to jump into this inferno willingly if they knew?
Even more detestable was that, after she had finally established a foothold in Prince Li’s mansion and after he gained power, they actually made her give up the position of Princess Consort. Knowing her poor health, they still asked her to relinquish her happiness after facing disaster; was this really their so-called love?
But she had no way to rebel. The parents who supposedly adored her sided with her legitimate sister, and the husband who treated her with respect also changed his heart after seeing her lively and animated sister. She alone, in the end, was discarded with her broken body to a so-called manor to recuperate, where she died full of resentment.
Ye Qiu let out a bitter laugh; in this life, she wouldn’t let herself be controlled by these people who claimed to love her. She wanted to live for herself, to tear down the true faces of these hypocrites.
With that thought, she opened her eyes, only to meet Ye Xia’s complicated gaze, seemingly filled with guilt and resentment.
