Chapter 292 The Newest Little Dog in the Entertainment Industry
The news of Shen Nanmo's death was so sensational that Huangfuting dared not hide it and told Yuliu as soon as he found out.
Yu Liu already knew that the five-colored light of the Reincarnation Well surrounded her, calling her back to the realm of gods.
She didn't respond to the Reincarnation Well, stubbornly remaining in this world. Facing Huangfu Ting, who came to inform her, she forced herself not to cry and took out a stack of things from her space.
"Brother Huangfu, I'm leaving now. These... are my parting gifts for you. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days."
Her voice was incredibly calm. Meeting Huangfu Ting's stunned eyes, she forced a smile and said, "Also, before I leave, could you do me one last favor?"
Huangfu Ting never expected that Shen Nanmo's death would lead to such an ending. He wanted to say something to persuade Yu Liu to stay, but he didn't know what to say. His lips opened and closed, and in the end, he just smiled weakly: "Okay."
"Could you help me identify what this thing is?"
The blue chip lay in Yu Liu's palm, reflecting the cold light of metal.
Huangfuting seemed to recognize it. He picked up the chip and was immediately drawn to a logo on the back of it.
"This chip is an identity marker. Every member of the royal family has one, representing their unique identity. At the same time, this chip also represents their unique power on the StarNet. How did you get this?"
Sure enough, this thing is no simple matter. Yu Liu inwardly chuckled at her own foolishness.
"This thing... belongs to Shen Nanmo."
She was extremely sure.
Huangfu Ting's eyes widened; he never expected Shen Nanmo to be royalty.
The chip was eventually taken away by the bearded director. He seemed to know Yu Liu's place in Shen Nanmo's heart. He told Yu Liu a story and then took the chip away.
Shen Nanmo is indeed a member of the royal family. His real name is Zongzhengmo. He is from a collateral branch of the royal family, and his father is the current emperor's uncle.
From birth, he was burdened with a deep-seated hatred.
That year, he was only a month old when the empire's supreme leader died, the royal family underwent a major reshuffle, and his father lost his life in the struggle for that supreme position.
His mother was imprisoned as a result, and she struggled to survive with him.
He also has an older sister. Although the family of three lives a hard life, they are an orphan and a widow, so no one will deliberately make things difficult for them. Perhaps there is still hope for the future.
All of this was completely destroyed when he was 14 years old.
That year, the Empire was attacked by a group of pirates roaming the stars. The pirates took control of one of the Empire's planets and threatened the Empire to exchange members of the royal family for the planet, or they would destroy the entire planet and kill all its inhabitants.
The news caused widespread panic. In order to appease the pirates, the empire finally agreed to their demands, and the royal family member they chose was Shen Nanmo.
To make his actions seem less cold-blooded, the empire fabricated many unfounded accusations against Shen Nanmo. In an instant, he became a sinner of the empire, stripped of his royal status, and subjected to the scorn of all the people of the empire. Not a single person spoke a kind word for him.
His mother's hair turned white with worry for him, and she kept pleading with the other members of the royal family, only to be met with disdain and beatings, as if the crime of the space pirates controlling an entire planet was their fault.
Shen Nanmo was prepared to face death, but he never expected that even greater devastation would follow. His sister had tried to save him, but after realizing that things were hopeless, she quickly abandoned him and their mother, finding herself a powerful patron—the Second Prince. And his sister was none other than Zong Zhengwan.
The two women, cousins, slept together, utterly shameless. The Second Prince concealed their relationship, yet allowed Zong Zhengwan to mock and ridicule Shen Nanmo and her mother. The mother, feeling guilty towards her father, committed suicide in despair. Shen Nanmo, unable to escape his fate, was treated like merchandise and given to space pirates. However, the empire had been preparing for this, launching a surprise attack during the handover with the pirates, saving the entire planet's inhabitants.
Shen Nanmo suddenly became useless. In order to give his people an explanation, the empire shifted all the blame onto him. He was the one who angered the space pirates, which is why he incurred their revenge. He was like an unforgivable sinner, even though he had done nothing wrong.
Shen Nanmo had considered death, but he didn't know how to face his mother. He wanted revenge, but found that he simply didn't have the power to do so.
He wanted to take the lives of the imperial family, or at the very least, take the lives of the Second Prince and Zong Zhengwan with him! This belief sustained him through life, but it also made his life difficult.
His plot to assassinate the Second Prince and Zong Zhengwan was eventually exposed. The Second Prince escaped the assassination attempt, defeated the forces that Shen Nanmo had painstakingly built up, and then tried to take the opportunity to kill Shen Nanmo.
Shen Nanmo escaped, and during his escape, he used his remaining strength to stage a fake death.
His spaceship was shot down, and he was blown to pieces by the exploding ship. The place where he was hit was the same desert where Yu Liu appeared. The bearded director who was filming in the desert didn't actually have pure intentions; he was there to cover up the evidence.
I never expected that Yu Liu would be brought up.
After faking his death, Shen Nanmo returned to the capital city in his current form, becoming a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry.
He was already resigned to death, but he was still alive and kicking because he hadn't avenged his mother. He entered the entertainment industry simply to achieve quick fame. Every year, the empire held a grand banquet in which the entire royal family would gather. Zong Zhengmo was not qualified to attend this banquet; only the empire's ministers and the performing stars were eligible.
He wanted to become famous, he wanted an invitation to a banquet, and then he risked his life.
This was the fastest way to reach the royal family, but also the most desperate. He didn't care about death; he only hoped that before he died, he could take his enemy to see his mother, as a way of giving her an explanation. And, he wanted to take Zong Zhengwan, that unfilial woman, to teach his mother a lesson.
Meeting Yu Liu was an accident, a beautiful accident. Unfortunately, Yu Liu appeared too late, and there was no possibility between them.
Yu Liu listened quietly to the whole story, not dwelling on why the wish information she received was different from reality. She just hated herself for not noticing Shen Nanmo's wrongness sooner. Perhaps she could have been Shen Nanmo's salvation, but... it was too late to say anything now.
