Achieving A Happy Ending With The Tragic Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 84.1

We can go too.

The receding camera panned down slowly again. The watchtower swayed under the fire, and black smoke permeated every corner of the city.

Two young figures could faintly be seen on the ground. The audience leaned forward to see clearly, but the lens became blurred.

Outside the frame, Duan Yuebai’s voice rang out again.

What did you just ask the Bodhisattva for?

If I say it, it won’t come true. I won’t tell you yet.

As Qi Youwei’s soft laughter faded, the screen went dark.

Some viewers grew anxious, whispering to those beside them, “Is that it? What’s the ending? What about my two girls?”

Just then, a final subtitle appeared in the center of the screen: Xiao Meng (Dawn Dream).

Two butterflies flitted across the bottom of the darkened screen, lighting up the frame. They flapped their wings across the sky, finally reaching an open window.

The camera followed the butterflies inside. A woman was seen sleeping by the bed. The camera moved slowly up with the butterfly, revealing Qi Youwei’s face. Her hand, resting to the side, was tightly holding another hand.

On both their wrists were the gifts that had not yet been given.

Duan Yuebai, lying on the bed, looked slightly pale. The other butterfly landed on the back of her thin hand, slowly flapping its wings.

In the next instant, her fingertips twitched slightly, and her closed eyelashes slowly opened.

Sensing the movement in her hand, Qi Youwei snapped her eyes open. She looked up into those familiar eyes, speechless.

The pale-lipped Duan Yuebai smiled and raised her hand, touching Qi Youwei’s face: “I actually… heard what you asked the Bodhisattva.”

In that instant, Qi Youwei held her hand and wept aloud.

I asked the Bodhisattva to bless us. I don’t ask for a next life, only for this one.

The screen went dark again. The woman from the opening monologue began to hum a lingering, soft melody, signaling the end of everything.

It was clearly a happy ending, yet Guan Yue couldn’t bring herself to smile.

She wasn’t the only one, the audience felt the same, their hearts were suspended, unable to be put down.

Only the old lady smiled through her tears, a smile that was sincere and heartfelt.

“They really ended up together, didn’t they?” Guan Yue sniffled.

“Mm, they’re together,” Su Mi gripped her hand tight.

After the screening, the main cast and crew came before the screen to accept interviews and questions.

The most asked question for the director was about the final title. Xiao Meng.

Unfortunately, the director didn’t answer directly. She said she would leave the answer to the choice in everyone’s hearts.

While facing the media and the audience, Su Mi and Guan Yue held hands the entire time. This was undoubtedly a great comfort to the viewers saddened by the movie.

Some even praised them for being professional. The crew members who knew the truth either looked at the sky or the ground, and some bit their lips hard for fear of letting another expression slip.

Later, this premiere interview video was rewatched many times, with fans pointing out that the couple’s “closet doors” were wide open, yet the film-obsessed crowd thought they were just being dedicated to their work.

When someone asked the director about the authenticity of the script, Su Mi looked toward where the lady had been, but she was gone.

The director’s answer was: “As long as you believe, it is real.”

Some sharper questions were also asked.

“Director, I noticed the visual language of the film seems a bit biased toward Duan Yuebai. Is it because the lead is Teacher Su?”

This person was clearly trying to dig a hole, but the director was undaunted.

“Remember our opening? This is the narrator’s favoritism.”

The amount of information in those words was vast, sending waves through the crowd for a time.

The premiere of The Jade Waist Slave concluded amidst the questions and answers.

After the interview, Su Mi and Guan Yue returned to the lounge. Not long after they sat down, there was a knock on the door.

Su Mi went to open it. Someone said an elderly lady had asked her to deliver something to them.

It was a rectangular blue velvet box, noble and elegant.

Generally, agencies wouldn’t let artists accept any gifts, but since this was brought up, it must have been permitted.

Su Mi thanked the person and closed the door. Guan Yue poked her head out from behind. “What is it?”

Feeling the weight in her hand, Su Mi said, “We’ll know when we open it.”

However, Su Mi didn’t let Guan Yue open it, she still had a bit of caution, fearing a prank.

Attached to the top of the box was a cream-colored card, carrying a faint fragrance.

Su Mi opened the card. Inside was a handwritten sentence in traditional script, elegant yet strong.

Thank you both for this dream.

When she slowly opened the box, inside were two exquisitely carved bracelets, the gemstones on them sparkling under the lights.

Guan Yue was stunned. She couldn’t help but think of the gold-wrapped jade bracelets Duan Yuebai had commissioned in the movie.

“These are… for us?”

Su Mi took out one of the bracelets. There seemed to be characters engraved on the inside, their respective names and birthdates.

“Mm, they’re for us.”

Guan Yue looked at the handwriting on the card and suddenly felt a bit sad.

“Do you think she was Duan Yuebai or Qi Youwei?”

Actually, the answer was obvious, the film itself was the answer.

It was from the lover’s perspective, giving enough favoritism.

After the premiere, a small wave of discussion broke out online. Film critics and media reported on it, and some lucky audience members posted spoiler free reviews, which truly whetted people’s appetites.

The day The Jade Waist Slave officially opened was a day for family reunions and happiness.

Many people went in laughing and came out silent with red eyes.

Many said they didn’t feel that much pain while watching, but when they went home and prepared for bed at night, the more they thought about it, the more it hurt.

Regarding the ending, the internet was split between the HE (Happy Ending) faction and the BE (Bad Ending) faction. Neither could convince the other, and some even rewatched the movie repeatedly just to find details to refute the other side.

At the same time, a group of real life CP (couple) fans began to emerge, even self-naming the CP “MiYue” (HoneyMoon/Su Mi & Guan Yue).

They began to dig for every moment the two were in the same frame. The promotional videos released by the crew became the most popular “archaeological” sites, and the result was, the more they dug, the more they found. Su Mi’s gaze toward the other was far from “pure.”

Furthermore, during the roadshows, Su Mi and Guan Yue were always open about their “fan service,” not holding back at all.

This organization was growing steadily under the “encouragement” of the main parties.

The “MiYue” ship was officially “canonized” during a film festival interview. The Jade Waist Slave was nominated, and both leads were invited to attend.

Before the official start, Guan Yue felt her dress was a bit uncomfortable and wanted to call her assistant to help adjust it.

The dressing room here was shared. Many famous artists were there promoting their films.

In front of so many industry insiders, Guan Yue didn’t dare to “order” Su Mi around and didn’t plan to tell her before leaving.

Fortunately, Su Mi, who was chatting with others, had been keeping an eye on her movements. Seeing her about to leave, she quickly ended her conversation and followed.

Since they were both the leads of The Jade Waist Slave, them walking together didn’t attract much attention, some people even proactively greeted them.

“Where are you going?” Su Mi never had any sense of distance with her.

“Watch it, there are so many people today.” Guan Yue dodged a bit. “I want Xiao Yang to help me with my dress. There’s a spot on the back that’s bothering me.”

“I’ll go with you,” Su Mi volunteered.

“No, you stay here. Xiao Yang can help me.” Guan Yue said, about to take her assistant away, but Su Mi still followed.

The assistant felt caught between two giants and didn’t dare offend either. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to stay or go.

“I’ve been here a few times and know where the fitting rooms are. It’s better if I take you.” Su Mi pointed out her advantage.

The venue was huge and labyrinthine, if one weren’t careful, they could indeed get lost.

The assistant nodded frantically. “I think Teacher Su is right. My sense of direction is bad, and I know nothing about this place.”

“Traitor,” Guan Yue huffed.

In the end, Su Mi accompanied her to the fitting room. There were many rooms, and some stars were there changing or adjusting clothes. They politely greeted Su Mi and Guan Yue upon seeing them.

Su Mi and Guan Yue picked a room and went in. The space inside wasn’t large; with the two of them in there, there was barely room to turn around.

Guan Yue turned her back to the other, telling her where she was uncomfortable and letting Su Mi adjust it.

With Su Mi’s help, the pinching pain finally vanished. Guan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go out, but she was stopped.

She looked at the approaching Su Mi, sensing something was wrong. She lowered her voice: “What are you doing?”

“I can collect a little reward, can’t I?” Su Mi wrapped her arms around the other’s waist and pulled her close.

Here?

Guan Yue’s eyes widened. She mouthed silently: Are you crazy?

However, Su Mi was counting on the fact that the other didn’t dare make a sound. She held her against the wall and leaned down to kiss her.

People were coming and going outside the fitting room. Guan Yue was pressed firmly against the wall. She couldn’t help but bite the other’s lip, only to have her waist pinched in retaliation. Guan Yue nearly made a sound.

A hand gently wiped her reddened eye corner. The culprit whispered in her ear: “Shh…”

After the door of the adjacent fitting room had opened and closed several times, their door finally opened.

When Guan Yue came out, she covered the lower half of her face, pretending to cough, not forgetting to glare at Su Mi, who was reapplying her lip makeup behind her.

The two returned to the front, waiting for the film host to finish the previous interviews.

It was their turn to be interviewed. The host first asked them some questions about the movie. After the formal questions ended, the Q&A became more relaxed, as was custom.

Because the host knew they played lovers and was aware of the online buzz, seeing the rings on their hands, she thought it was fan service provided by the crew. She teased with a smile: “Wow, the two teachers today look like good news is approaching.”

“Yes.” Su Mi showed her wedding ring to the camera. Guan Yue, on the other hand, appeared a bit shy.

The host probably didn’t expect Su Mi to admit it so directly. For a moment, she forgot to follow up, and only after a long pause did she look down at her script. “Then… then what are the two teachers’ plans for work next?”

“None for now,” Su Mi said.

The host nodded, trying to help Su Mi cover: “So it seems Teacher Su is planning to rest for a while. What about you, Teacher Guan?”

Su Mi added: “After all, we need to prepare for the wedding and our honeymoon. We won’t have time for work.”

Standing off stage, Xiao Xin was nearly dying of fright, this was a nationwide live broadcast!

On the other side, Sister Yu was about to go crazy looking at the message Su Mi had sent fifteen minutes ago: “Announcing in fifteen minutes that I’m going public. You’re really something! Couldn’t you have told me a bit earlier?!”

The film host here could hardly hide her surprise, unable to tell for a moment if the other was being “abstract” or if it was real.

She laughed while frantically looking at the person in charge below for help.

“The two teachers’ fan service is truly perfect. Our audience for The Jade Waist Slave is truly lucky.”

Unexpectedly, Su Mi directly took Guan Yue’s hand. “It’s not fan service. We’re really getting married.”

As soon as these words came out, the media and reporters below erupted in gasps, and the scene nearly became uncontrollable.

Su Mi’s warm gaze looked at Guan Yue, gripping her hand as if in encouragement and support.

Guan Yue slowly curled her lips into a smile, tilting her head slightly toward Su Mi. She smiled at the host and said, “Yes, we’re getting married.”

After saying that, she raised their intertwined hands toward the main camera.

They wore matching rings on their hands, and the exquisite bracelets on their wrists touched slightly, inseparable.

The poster of The Jade Waist Slave was projected behind them, accompanied by the poem of the female poet Ye Qing as a preamble:

The secret pact of love and death is presented on your finely carved wings.

Su Mi woke up in that room once again. After getting up, she ignored the settlement robot in front of her, instead thinking about the information she had obtained.

The mark on Guan Yue’s body wasn’t there from birth. This strongly suggested that, like her, she had entered this world halfway through.

Only, for some reason, she had no memory.

Su Mi decided to go directly to her boss.

Supervisor Li had just stepped out of the office when she saw Su Mi walking toward her. She smoothly turned around and tried to go back in, but the door wouldn’t close because it detected someone approaching.

She had to take a deep breath and plaster on a smile. “Oh, you finished the task so quickly! Is there something you need?”

Su Mi asked, “Hello, Supervisor. When will my application be approved?”

Supervisor Li rubbed her hands together. “About that… that’s a problem for the Technical Department. We in the Execution Department have no way to interfere.”

“Is that so? But I just ran into someone from the Technical Department and asked. They said it seems… it’s already been fixed.”

“Fixed? How is that possible?” After saying that, Supervisor Li panicked for a visible instant but quickly adjusted. “I mean, if it were fixed, how could I not have received the news? You just finished a mission, go rest. There’s plenty to do next.”

Su Mi stared fixedly at her boss, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Having finally sent the “Great Deity” away, Supervisor Li couldn’t help but find the Director to complain.

The Director remained calm as ever. She slowly blew on the jasmine chrysanthemum tea in her cup and comforted her: “It’s fine, it’s fine.”

At worst, we all go down together.

Su Mi returned to her workplace. The robot was still waiting for her and quickly followed when it saw her.

“Hello, Employee Su Mi. Congratulations on successfully completing your third mission. Below is your mission completion information…”

The robot’s broadcast was the same as the previous twice, and the content wasn’t much different, but Su Mi had no heart to listen.

“When can I start the next world?”

The robot’s broadcast was interrupted. “Do you wish to proceed to the next mission immediately?”

“Yes.”

“According to regulations, you need to apply with your superior, but because your mission performance was outstanding, this application can be waived.”

Su Mi closed her eyes once more.

When she opened them again, there was a piercing red before her.

And not far away, on the bed, lay a woman dressed in a red wedding gown.
