T/N: Hi, Umu here. A kind reader brought to my attention that there were some missing texts in some chapters. Ch 5-10 have now been fixed. If you see any similar problems, please comment right on that chapter so that I can find and fix it easily! You can use a throwaway email to comment as a guest. Thanks for reading!
Zhao Jiaxin doesn’t know if Yan Yue can see her comments, but she still wants to thank Yan Yue for creating “Interstellar Love and Destiny: Overbearing Son-in-Law Falling in Love with Me.” This film is a wake-up call and advice for her.
The first time she saw Qin Zhenyun’s face-swapping, an alarm bell rang in Zhao Jiaxin’s heart. Later, she found out that he was involved in some shady business, and she had tried to dissuade him. However, Qin Zhenyun explained various business strategies to her, such as how some businessmen can sell the same thing for ten times the price. He claimed it’s all fair in business, and he would decide based on the situation after the results of this competition are announced.
With this in mind, Yan Yue responded calmly, answering the questions of the female police officer: “We’ve been cooperating with your investigation these days. The competition has been postponed by a week, and the specific topics will only be known after a week. As for what to write…” Yan Yue intentionally left it hanging, her eyes curving playfully, “Officer Yu will know when the time comes. Thank you for your support in advance.”
Yan Yue was very cooperative during the investigation and knew how to handle things privately. She was able to strike the right balance and make people feel comfortable.
Officer Yu became curious about her and was amused by her preemptive gratitude. He said on the spot, “Alright, I’ll give you ten votes this time!”
Yan Yue immediately thanked him.
After the police left, Yan Yue returned to her creative studio and finished editing the final part of the video from this morning. She then uploaded the video in the second creation zone.
Currently, Yan Yue’s account on Emperor Entertainment Network is the original owner’s secondary account. The original owner also has a separate account for the competition.
In the second creation zone, Yan Yue uses this secondary account. She only realized this morning that the original owner’s secondary account name is actually “Chu Mo’s Wife.”
Generally, accounts with names like “xx’s Wife” or “xx’s Husband” are fan accounts. Following this pattern, Yan Yue searched online for Chu Mo’s name and found very limited information about him. There wasn’t even a photo, and the profile simply stated that Chu Mo is currently the operational commander of the b62 planet’s k8 military and also serves as the operational command department professor at b62’s first military academy.
Yan Yue wasn’t sure why the original owner would be a fan of someone with no available information or pictures. Perhaps it was due to hero worship? While the b62 planet had been peaceful for nearly a hundred years, there were occasional minor disturbances on the fringe planets that required military support. Chu Mo’s profile mentioned significant military achievements, so that might be the reason.
Furthermore, Yan Yue noticed that she wasn’t the only one using the “Chu Mo’s Wife” account ID. Many accounts on Emperor Entertainment Network’s forums and trending searches had similar names. However, each ID could only be used once, and each account could only use one ID without the option to change it. This resulted in accounts like “Chu Mo’s Wife 1,” “Chu Mo’s Wife 2,” “Chu Mo’s Wife 9999,” and so on.
At present, it seemed that the numbering had even reached tens of thousands. Looking at the original owner’s non-numbered ID, Yan Yue felt a sense of respect. This account had even secured a golden account status. Selling this ID alone could lead to substantial profits.
Originally, Yan Yue found this ID a bit awkward, but now she saw it shining with the light of money.
As for feeling awkward? Who cared? Chu Mo’s wife wasn’t her, Yan Yue’s, wife. Moreover, with so many “Chu Mo’s wives,” it would likely be Chu Mo himself who felt awkward. What did it have to do with her?
After that, Yan Yue confidently began editing her second creation videos using this account.
The first three videos had already gained massive popularity, occupying the top three spots in the second creation zone. In just four days, this account had gained around five hundred thousand followers. Taking into account the earnings from views and tips, she had earned a substantial amount, not far from the number of followers she had.
While the second creation zone allowed for earnings, it wasn’t as profitable as original creations. For instance, the winner of the “Best Screenwriter” competition would receive a prize of fifty million, along with an invitation from Emperor Entertainment Network to become a specially appointed screenwriter.
Emperor Entertainment Network was the most popular platform across the star system, akin to a modern-day equivalent of a combination of Twitter and even stronger platforms. Unlike Twitter, which faced competition from platforms like TikTok, Emperor Entertainment Network stood as the dominant force.
Being a specially appointed screenwriter on Emperor Entertainment Network was like holding a golden opportunity. Even if it was for just a year, the earnings could sustain one’s entire lifetime.
Second and third place prizes in the competition were also substantial: thirty million for second place and ten million for third place, all after taxes. With such lucrative rewards, the competition’s perks were quite generous.
Now, with the release of the latest video edited by the “Chu Mo’s Wife” account, the number of online viewers surpassed ten thousand in just two minutes!
However, this video was different from the first three that were about couples from the original work. Instead, it was a side story of “Interstellar Love and Destiny: Overbearing Son-in-Law Falling in Love with Me.”
No one expected that the blogger behind the “Chu Mo’s Wife” account would create a side story! This was an unexpected surprise for fans who had been asking Yan Yue to create side stories.
Having built a strong foundation with the first three videos, people unquestionably believed in the editing skills of this blogger!
Clearly, this blogger didn’t disappoint. The side story became a dream come true for fans of the overbearing son-in-law!
[In the story’s later events, Su Zhen did not accept Han Daqiang’s pursuit. Similarly, she also broke up with Han Cheng.
However, just before Su Zhen left, Han Cheng suddenly stopped her and asked, “Aren’t you curious about who I actually like—”
Is it you, or Lin’er?
The latter part, Han Cheng could only say in his heart.
Su Zhen, about to board the spacecraft to another planet, halted for a moment upon hearing this. But from beginning to end, she didn’t turn to look at Han Cheng even once.
Han Cheng took a few steps to catch up, stopping a couple of paces away from her. They stood there, looking at each other, but he didn’t approach her.
The flight attendants had already started urging passengers to board the ship quickly. Su Zhen didn’t linger and embarked on her new journey.]
Since this was an edited creation, many scenes actually existed in the original footage. The lines that were not in the original footage were mostly conveyed through text.
Just like now, Su Zhen boarded the spacecraft.
Han Cheng looked up at the departing vessel. The screen then went black, and white text on a black background displayed Han Cheng’s internal monologue—
[“Perhaps you might find this laughable. After Lin’er left, you became my only reliance in my heart. Su Zhen, I hope every day of your future is happy, and I also hope you can occasionally remember me…”]
As Su Zhen, who was on the departing spacecraft, watched the shrinking figures below, her heart settled. The screen dimmed again, this time displaying Su Zhen’s monologue for Han Cheng—
[“I’m grateful for your affection. Please take care.”]
The story hasn’t ended yet.
[Not long after, Lie Yanzhe was apprehended. He was reported by his true girlfriend, who he had deceived for many years. Despite her efforts to convince him to surrender, he remained unrepentant. Tired of witnessing his repeated wrongdoings, his girlfriend provided evidence to the police.
With this, all the wrongdoers received their just punishments.
Three years later.
On Planet xx, Su Zhen opened a flower shop. Su Lin’er had a fondness for flowers and plants, and this shop carried all of Su Zhen’s love for her daughter.
Numerous customers came and went, all addressing Su Zhen as “Boss Su.” Neighbors around the area would share fresh food and good things with Su Zhen. Clearly, she had fully integrated into the community, embracing her new life without hatred and filled with love.
On the other side, the girlfriend who reported Lie Yanzhe also pursued her dreams. She loved creating, and despite facing numerous setbacks, she maintained her original intentions. She continually improved her works and finally caught the attention of a well-known entertainment blogger. With this blogger’s recommendation, more and more people noticed her work.
As for the Han family.
After the major scandal involving the Han family, a shareholder meeting resulted in Han Daqiang’s demotion. The Han Group was now led by Han Daqiang’s sister, and under her leadership, the group thrived. As for Han Cheng, he realized that his actions had impacted the entire company and burdened his young aunt. Thus, he turned over a new leaf, diligently learning about company affairs.
The last scenes were given to Lie Yanzhe and Jiang Qing.
In prison.
Every morning at six, Lie Yanzhe and Jiang Qing would get up for a jog, followed by breakfast, and then they’d work tirelessly—painting small parts of mechs.
This painting, three years, and three more years…]
The side story ends here, showing everyone with their own lives. The audience is content with the outcomes. However, the tone changes suddenly: Jiang Qing and Lie Yanzhe are shown painting together in prison, which elicits laughter.
【Seeing Su Zhen and the others starting their new lives, I’m touched. Seeing Jiang Qing and Lie Yanzhe painting, I’m laughing so hard!】
【This ending is great. Even Jiang Qing and Lie Yanzhe are “doing well” in prison. Wonderful, everyone has a bright future ahead.】
【My wife is amazing! I declare, you are Chu Mo’s only wife!】
【The editing is as smooth as ever. I almost thought it was Yan Yue using a secondary account.】
【I think the wife is subtly suggesting something in reality. She probably hopes YoYo can overcome this difficult time and start a new life like Su Zhen. And Zhao Jiaxin… I can’t quite put it into words, but she hasn’t really harmed anyone. I hope she can live for herself, just like Lie Yanzhe’s girlfriend.】
【I agree with the above comment! The other day, I saw the analysis from the Sister Analysis group. It really felt that way. We were almost misled. Anyway, regardless of everything, the blogger probably hopes we can all move forward. After all, life is still beautiful.】
Planet b71.
After watching this side story edit, Little You saw the last two comments. The despair that had haunted her for days seemed to dissipate a bit in that moment.
Yes, life was still beautiful. Once she got through this period, she might be able to resume her creative work!
However, this second creation side story…
Little You couldn’t help but smile.
Every writer had their quirks, more or less. Perhaps the writer wasn’t aware of it, but those in the know could spot them after multiple viewings.
She considered herself half a writer. Yan Yue’s editing style and video tone gave her some insights, and Yan Yue’s style was quite unique. This side story differed greatly in plot and pace from “Overbearing Son-in-Law,” but the editing technique was strikingly similar to Yan Yue’s style.
Looking at the first few second creation videos by this blogger, Little You quickly confirmed the blogger’s true identity.
Without hesitation, she recharged her account with a million credits and directly rewarded the side story.
This money was a token of gratitude and an acknowledgment of Yan Yue’s skill.
Zhao Jiaxin also recognized Yan Yue’s handiwork.
She was well aware of the internet’s opinions about her. Compared to being entangled with Qin Zhenyun, her current situation was much better.
Her talent might not be exceptional, but she had watched “Overbearing Son-in-Law” countless
times. After watching it repeatedly, she could see a bit of Yan Yue’s editing style. Though the tone and even the storytelling in this side story were quite different from the main series, the editing technique resembled Yan Yue’s.
Looking at the second creation leaderboard, it was evident that the side story “Interstellar Love and Destiny: Overbearing Son-in-Law Falling in Love with Me – Side Story” had suddenly taken the first place!
Upon closer inspection, the top three rewards were as follows: Little You’s account was first with one million credits, followed by two other big spenders, one with a ten-thousand-credit reward and the other with a one-thousand-credit reward. These were not insignificant amounts.
Usually, when people enjoyed a second creation, they might reward the creator with ten or twenty credits. It was rare for someone to drop over ten thousand in a single go!
The two big spenders who gave ten thousand and one thousand credits were unknown to most, but everyone knew Little You!
In an instant, the atmosphere in the comments section of the side story became even more vibrant—
【Doesn’t this mean that Little You also thinks this side story is really good? In other words, Little You hasn’t been defeated! Sob, sob, thank you, wife! Little You’s fans have been worrying for so many days, and now we can finally feel a bit more at ease. Sob, sob】
【Any idea who those other two big spenders are? Could they be Zhao Jiaxin and her first love…?】
【Whether they are or not, if they really got to see the side story video by the wife, I hope they can move on soon and start new lives.】
【I read on the gossip forum earlier today that it seems Li person is facing the death penalty… The doctor at the xx plastic surgery hospital who colluded with Qin Zhenyun has been arrested too. It’s said that there’s another line behind Qin Zhenyun, and the police are investigating it. But unless there’s a twist of fate, Qin Zhenyun will probably spend the rest of his life in prison. Will they really end up like in the wife’s side story, painting together? Won’t they fight? Qin Zhenyun did deceive Li person】
【The perspective in the previous comment is quite unique. I also wonder if they’ll end up fighting, haha】
【Wait, you all keep calling the blogger “wife.” She’s Chu Mo’s wife, not your wife!】
【What Chu Mo’s wife! She’s clearly my wife! Can’t you guys talk properly?!】
Seeing the commentary section’s tone taking a strange turn, Yan Yue was at a loss and closed the comments section. She then took a look at her rewards leaderboard.
No need to guess about Little You, as she used her own account. As for the other two big spenders, it seemed the speculation in the comments was quite accurate. It was likely her first love, who had never revealed her name, and Zhao Jiaxin.
They could recognize her second creation as Yan Yue’s work, which didn’t surprise her. Each creator had their distinctive style. As for these three sums of money, Yan Yue pondered for a moment and decided to set them aside for now. She would find a chance to donate them later. These funds were a bit tricky to handle…
With this, the revival round, the You family matters, and Qin Zhenyun’s case came to a close.
Besides these events, Yan Yue had also signed a contract with Wu Hua for the bionics project.
Wu Hua’s team wanted to sign specific data about the creation of all the main character androids from Yan Yue’s “Overbearing Son-in-Law.” They even had plans to sign contracts for the androids in Yan Yue’s future videos as well. Yan Yue hadn’t thought that even creating character models could bring in money…
After the police investigation concluded, the show’s production team also resumed pushing forward with the competition process. Seeing that the show’s popularity was increasing, the production team started using all their resources to extend the competition to gather more viewership and revenue.
After five days, “The Ultimate Scriptwriter” returned with its sixth episode.
At 9 AM on a Saturday morning, Yan Yue promptly received the invitation to the main stage.
The familiar stage setup, the dynamic barrage of comments—everything seemed just as before. The only difference was that this time, the barrage of comments directed at Yan Yue was almost nonexistent. Instead, the comments welcomed the show’s return and expressed anticipation for the upcoming competition theme.
Oh, and there was one more difference: originally, the sixth episode was supposed to have six contestants battling it out in the “six into five” round. However, due to Qin Zhenyun’s incident, there were now only five contestants left, so the format changed to “five into four.”
The host first explained the reason for the temporary suspension of the competition a few days ago. After some interactions with the barrage and the five contestants on-site, which lasted almost ten minutes, they finally unveiled the theme and rules for this round.
“I believe everyone has been eagerly awaiting this theme for quite some time. The theme for this round is now in my hands—” The host teased and built up suspense for a while. The barrage count had increased significantly, and the excitement was palpable. Finally, the electronic card displaying the theme was projected onto the blue screen in front of everyone!
Only four words were visible on the blue screen—
【Family Honor】
As soon as this theme was revealed, not just the audience, even Yan Yue’s fellow contestants were momentarily stunned.
Shuishui was already feeling troubled and whispered to Yan Yue, “Yueyue, do you have any ideas?”
Yan Yue furrowed her brows slightly and shook her head, “Not yet.”
At first glance, “Family Honor” seemed simple—just write about the glory of a family that spanned generations. However, the simpler the theme, the more difficult it was to come up with original ideas and satisfy the audience. This was the aspect that troubled Shuishui the most.
Writers like Shuishui and Su Mansheng, who naturally leaned toward the theme of family honor, were also scratching their heads. Not to mention Yan Yue, a relatively new writer who had a penchant for melodramatic stories…
Wait, didn’t she plan to take a different approach this time?
After struggling for half a minute, Yan Yue gave up. A melodrama enthusiast never surrenders!
Meanwhile, the barrage on the main stage began to question whether the production team was intentionally targeting Yan Yue—
【This seems to have nothing to do with the style of “Overbearing Son-in-Law.” Could it be that the production team saw Yan Yue’s diversion in the previous round and deliberately set this constraint on her?】
【Not just Yan Yue, it seems like Shuishui is also at a loss. While the theme seems simple, it’s actually quite challenging to do well with it.】
【Why is it difficult? Isn’t this exactly what Fang Ji is best at? A warm-hearted writer is most suited for this theme.】
【I don’t care, I just want to know what Yan Yue will write! Can she really turn “Family Honor” into some melodramatic spectacle?】
【Hmm, it seems like “Family Honor” might not be suitable for melodrama. If Yan Yue manages to pull it off, I’ll eat a whole box of BrainTech!】
【Don’t run away, I’ve already taken a screenshot. If Yan Yue really writes something, you better stick to your word, hahaha】
Seeing the barrage about eating BrainTech, Yan Yue thought, “Can you leave some BrainTech for me?”
But then again, maybe “Family Honor” could be melodramatic as well.
Shuishui turned her head and saw Yan Yue looking contemplative with narrowed eyes. Her eyes brightened, “Yueyue, do you have an idea?”
Speaking a bit louder, Shuishui, An Xiaoyu, and even Fang Ji turned their attention to Yan Yue.
Seeing everyone’s gaze on her, Yan Yue responded leisurely, “Uh, maybe… kind of.”
With Yan Yue’s vague response, the barrage on the main stage exploded—
【??? How is this possible? Is Yan Yue planning to change her style?】
【Ah, ah, I’m so excited! Why do we still have to wait forty-eight hours to see the episode? I want to enter Yan Yue’s creative world right now! I want to see it now!】
【Quick, quick, quick!! Quick, put it up for us to see! Even just the title of the story would be fine! I want to see it!】
Shuishui and An Xiaoyu exclaimed, “We want to see it too!”
Under the eager anticipation
of the masses, Yan Yue smiled faintly and waved to the audience on the main stage, “See you in forty-eight hours.”
Audience: “!”
Darn it! They’re building up our anticipation!
Back in her creative space, Yan Yue drank a bottle of nutrient fluid and connected to her BrainTech…
Two days later, the works of the five contestants for the sixth episode were published at exactly 8 PM.
With just a glance, everyone saw a title that was incredibly eye-catching! It was blindingly bright! It was sandwiched among the other contestants’ serious titles, resembling a trashy advertisement, just like in the revival round. But just like last time, it caught everyone’s attention instantly!
The title was: “The Temptation of Returning to the Interstellar World: Moonlight Substitute’s Comeback” by that Woman!
Audience: Ah! This familiar title! This familiar feeling! It hits right from the title!
Audience: It had to be you, Yan Yue! You’re our only sister!
Author’s Note:
Yan Yue: Don’t worry, the Melodramatic War God will make a move!
Part about Zhao Jiaxin’s reasoning and Qin Zhenyu’s arrest is missing after the second paragraph.
I only roughly checked the updated chapters so there might be more missing parts, repeats or grammar mistakes. The missing parts often make me scratch my head over how something happened, but I really do appreciate your translation efforts. Just pay a little more attention to the raws. I gotta stop procrastinating my assignments now so I’ll leave the rest to you.
Thanks for the chapter!
Hi, I can’t find that part in the raws…
Hi, I’ve been using this to double check:
https://www.52shuku.vip/yanqing/b/bjOA7.html
Take note the actual chapter doesn’t match up with the page numbers and will need some scrawling. Like in your translations, it will suddenly end with an author comment then start up with a chapter …
The part missing from this chapter can be found on page 36.
Oh I see! It seems it’s highly likely there will be missing parts in the next chapters (up to ch 20) as I was using the same raw website. I’ll fix it around mid/late September when I have access to a laptop since it’s inconvenient doing it in mobile phone. I’ll use the link you have for post ch20. Thanks a bunch! ♥️
