Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1610 "The Best Son-in-Law" - Yin Shujun

"Fu Yixiao, your combat strength is not bad."

Jiang Chen watched the battle between Fu Yixiao and the masked assassin in the distance.

At the same time, the relevant plot flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

Jiang Chen remembered that at the beginning of the story, the Kingdom of Jinxiu and the Kingdom of Susha were neighboring enemies, their hatred running deep and constant warfare. Prince Feng Suige of Susha led his army to attack Zhennan Pass, the border fortress of Jinxiu, rapidly approaching the city gates with unstoppable momentum. However, he was shot down by an arrow by Fu Yixiao, the female commander of the Jinxiu Kingdom, turning the tide of the battle. Feng Suige's mission failed, and he immediately retreated. On his return journey, he encountered a group of masked assassins. Lu Ke, the deputy commander of the Feng Battalion, ordered Gu Yu to take Feng Suige to safety first, while he stayed behind to cover their retreat.

No sooner had one group been killed than another group of assassins pursued Feng Suige's carriage. Feng Suige knew that ambushes were planned at every pass along the way. In an instant, the carriage was forced to the edge of a cliff. It was too late to rein in the horses, and the entire carriage plunged off the cliff. The masked assassins, seeing this, retreated. In the Battle of Pingling, the Zhennan Army of Jinxiu Kingdom defeated Feng Suige's Su Sha Army. Then, on the very night of the victory, Fu Yixiao, who had made the greatest contribution, disappeared.

In the woods, Fu Yixiao was surrounded and attacked by a group of masked assassins.

This is what Jiang Chen is seeing now.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Fu Yixiao should temporarily avoid the limelight and hide away."

Jiang Chen looked at Fu Yixiao but made no move.

It was at this moment that they fought and retreated simultaneously.

Jiang Chen glanced at it but did not chase after it.

Instead, he followed the masked assassins at a leisurely pace.

Just then, two figures appeared in Jiang Chen's line of sight.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten low-level spirit cannons.]

"Ten low-level spirit cannons?"

"I've checked in for the nineteenth time."

"According to the system description, this low-level spirit cannon is similar to the M777 cannon, with a large barrel length to caliber ratio and a smaller propellant charge, making it suitable for low-angle firing."

"The difference is that the low-level spirit cannon is engraved with runes and array patterns. The super cannon of the First World has a range of 1000 kilometers, while the low-level spirit cannon has a range of 2000 kilometers."

"Unlike cannons, spirit cannons use low-grade spirit stones (only low-grade spirit stones are used). A single shot from a low-grade spirit cannon costs one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and its power is equivalent to a full-force attack from a Martial Emperor."

"The cooldown time for each firing of a low-level spirit cannon is five minutes."

"As long as there are enough low-grade spirit stones, a low-level spirit cannon can fire one hundred times in a row. After firing one hundred times in a row, the low-level spirit cannon will need to undergo a three-day cooling-off period."

“Each low-level spirit cannon requires five Grandmaster martial artists to operate.”

"However, the sign-in reward is pretty good."

"It's a pity that too many low-grade spirit stones were used."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Ling Xueying is a character in "A Smile Follows a Song".

In the drama, Ling Xueying is quirky, kind-hearted, and as the young master of Zhengnian Manor, she has superb medical skills and is good at treating injuries and saving lives.

"Ling Xueying from 'A Smile Follows a Song'?"

"Sure enough, it's here."

"Ling Xueying, the young master of Zhengnian Manor in the drama, is an anomaly. She dares to hang the emperor's medical bill on the city gate, curse the prince to his face as a "beast in human form", and even single-handedly storm the palace to kill someone."

"But this seemingly reckless girl ultimately emerged unscathed, married, had children, and lived a simple and happy life. Her confidence comes from far more than just being the daughter of a medical genius."

In the drama, Ling Xueying's father, Ling Yuguang, is a powerful but retired martial arts master. Zhengnian Manor, ostensibly a medical clinic, actually houses a group of martial arts experts who once followed him in his illustrious career. These people cultivate herbs and treat patients at the manor, but if anyone dares to harm Ling Xueying, they can "sneak up to the palace rooftops in the middle of the night." Zhengnian Manor's medical skills are said to have the power to "bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded," from the Empress Dowager's chronic leg pain to the general's poisoned arrow wound; the lives of the powerful are firmly in the Ling family's hands. When Emperor Fengsha tried to forcibly buy the manor as a summer palace, Ling Xueying directly hung the account books on the city gate in front of the imperial envoy, writing "The national treasury is empty; we will buy on credit first," leaving the emperor with no choice but to swallow his anger.

Ling Xueying may seem spoiled and willful, but she is actually well-versed in the survival rules of a chaotic world. She follows the family motto of the manor, "Preserve yourself first, then talk about benevolence and righteousness," but she is not mechanically escaping the world. So when her close friend Fu Yixiao is in danger in the drama, she does not hesitate to rush into the palace to save her, and even stabs the Imperial Guard officer to death with her own hands. Afterwards, she breaks down and screams "I killed someone," but this stab completely severs her stance: she only recognizes loyalty and righteousness, not power struggles.

Ling Xueying's wisdom lies in her unwavering adherence to the principle of "saving lives, not harming them." When treating Feng Suige's cough, she never inquired about military secrets; when bandaging General Feng Sha's wounds, she never investigated the supply lines. This neutrality made her the only "third party" in the chaotic world, sought after by various nations yet feared to offend her. She even cleverly utilized the resources of hostile forces: to protect Fu Yixiao, she bought a residence in Yujing, the capital of Feng Sha, directly registering it under Emperor Feng Pingcheng's name. This move both protected her sister and incurred a favor from the Feng Sha royal family, killing two birds with one stone.

In a world where everyone takes sides, not taking sides is the bravest stance. In the end, Ling Xueying became the only protagonist in the entire series to leave unscathed, and married Ning Fei, who liked to speak his mind. While Fu Yixiao was caught up in the ups and downs of love and Feng Xiyang was sacrificed for power, Ling Xueying, in her own way, forged her own path to happiness.

"In the drama, Ling Xueying ultimately chooses to marry Ning Fei, who has a scar on his face and comes from an ordinary background, because she knows better than anyone that Ning Fei's loyalty and authenticity are far more reliable than the power and position of a prince."

"The two moved to Lucheng to open a small pharmacy, had children, and argued about who should wash the dishes every day, but they became the people who were most entitled to happiness in Fu Yixiao's eyes."

"However, after the young master of Zhengnian Manor got married, he moved to Lucheng and opened a small pharmacy. Although the drama says that the manor itself, as a neutral force, did not disband and was able to survive in the chaos, is that really the case?"

Jiang Chen felt that even if Zheng Nian Manor hadn't disbanded, the relocation of Ling Xueying and her husband meant they could no longer control it. And indeed, Zheng Nian Manor's power, as portrayed in the drama, was too formidable for any ruler.

Even if the male protagonist, Feng Suige, becomes the emperor, it will still be the same.

This is a struggle for power.

"And now is the time for Ling Xueying to make her appearance."

Jiang Chen remembered that in the drama, Ling Xueying, the young master of Zhengnian Manor, went up the mountain to gather herbs with her maid. They encountered a forest full of dead bodies and were terrified. The man in black held a knife to Ling Xueying's neck and asked her if she had seen a woman in red. Ling Xueying denied it, and the man in black was about to kill her when Fu Yixiao suddenly appeared in front of them. The man in black abandoned Ling Xueying and chased after Fu Yixiao.

What Jiang Chen sees now is a replay of the plot.

Almost exactly the same.

"interesting."

After seeing Fu Yixiao and the masked assassin leave, Jiang Chen flashed and appeared in front of Ling Xueying.

"Who?" Ling Xueying was startled.

"Young Master of Zheng Nian Manor?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's me." Ling Xueying sized up Jiang Chen: "Who are you?"

“Jiang Chen of the Jiang family in the Great An Dynasty,” Jiang Chen said.

"Are you from the Great An Dynasty?" Ling Xueying asked.

“Yes.” The family’s teleportation talisman was placed in the Great An Dynasty, so it wasn’t a problem for them to say they were from the Great An Dynasty.

"What are you doing here? Who were those people just now?" Ling Xueying asked.

"I don't know him. I'm here to gather herbs," Jiang Chen said.

"Gathering herbs?" Ling Xueying seemed skeptical.

"Yes, I'm a doctor." Jiang Chen knew his excuse was a bit absurd, but it was the only reason he could use now: "Miss Ling, it's dangerous up in the mountains, you should go back as soon as possible."

Ling Xueying remained silent.

"Miss Ling, you can come find me in the capital of the Great An Dynasty when you have time." Jiang Chen gave his address at the Jiang family residence in the capital of the Great An Dynasty, and then turned and left.

Ling Xueying watched Jiang Chen's departing figure in silence.

"Miss, shall we continue gathering herbs?" Ling Xueying's maid asked.

“We…” Ling Xueying paused for a moment, then said, “We’re going back.”

"Okay," the maid replied.

……

the other side.

Where the swords flashed and the grass stained with blood. Fu Yixiao, exhausted after killing all the assassins, knelt down.

When Jiang Chen found Fu Yixiao, Fei Yunxuan had already fainted.

"Comatose?"

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's lips.

Without him, Fu Yixiao, exhausted after killing all the assassins, collapsed to his knees. Ling Xueying rushed forward, but was scolded by Fu Yixiao. However, a short while later, the heavily injured Fu Yixiao completely lost consciousness and fainted. In front of Zhengnian Manor, wounded soldiers from Susha Kingdom and Jinxiu Kingdom were arguing incessantly. After Qin Bo stopped them, both sides put aside their grudges and entered Zhengnian Manor together to treat their injuries.

"According to the plot, after Fu Yixiao woke up, he suffered a head injury and developed amnesia."

"However, this is an opportunity."

Why didn't Jiang Chen come out earlier?

That's why we're waiting for this moment.

Because he wanted to pick up Fu Yixiao.

I met with Ling Xueying just now to get her out of the way.

At that moment, Jiang Chen stepped forward and picked up Fu Yixiao.

"Let's go back to Da'an and the capital first."

Jiang Chen originally wanted to visit the Kingdom of Jinxiu and the Kingdom of Susha.

However, now that he had found Fu Yixiao, he was prepared to abandon his original plan. In less than half an hour, Jiang Chen returned to the Jiang residence in the capital of the Da'an Dynasty.

"Husband is back?" Liu Yin greeted Jiang Chen as soon as she saw him.

"Hmm, how are you feeling? Are you getting used to it?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's alright, just a bit boring," Liu Yin replied.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Just think of it as a break from working hard in the First World."

"That's all it can do."

Liu Yin glanced at Fu Yixiao in Jiang Chen's hand.

Although he had already witnessed the abundance of beautiful women around Jiang Chen, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing that Jiang Chen picked up a woman after just one trip.

“I found it,” Jiang Chen replied.

"Found it?" Liu Yin's beautiful eyes flashed.

“She is seriously injured and unconscious.” Jiang Chen said to Liu Yin, “Prepare a room for her, I will treat her injuries.”

"Okay," Liu Yin replied and went to prepare the room.

In the guest room, Jiang Chen began to treat Fu Yixiao.

Fu Yixiao was severely injured, but it had little impact on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen began treating Fu Yixiao.

However, when Jiang Chen treated Fu Yixiao, he discovered that she had a blood clot in her brain.

"This is why Fu Yixiao suffers from amnesia in the drama."

Jiang Chen understood.

However, Jiang Chen did not go to Fu Yixiao for treatment of the blood stasis.

Jiang Chen wanted to have Fu Yixiao join the Jiang family's Plum Blossom Inner Guard before she regained her memories.

Fu Yixiao is a sharpshooter.

Although the Jiang family's White Horse Battalion consists of sharpshooters, they are just ordinary soldiers. Jiang Chen intends for Fu Yixiao to cultivate her skills. As long as Fu Yixiao can cultivate, her sharpshooter attributes can be fully developed.

Fu Yixiao's marksman attribute is a talent, something he was born with, unlike something that can be cultivated later in life.

After leaving Fu Yixiao's room, Liu Yin waited outside.

"Husband, how was the person from earlier?" Liu Yin asked.

"The injuries are severe; the person is a martial artist," Jiang Chen said.

"Practitioners of martial arts?" Liu Yin was slightly taken aback.

"Yes. She's still unconscious. Please arrange for someone to take care of her," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Liu Yin nodded.

"It's still early, I'll go out and take a look first," Jiang Chen said.

"Then my husband, please come back soon," Liu Yin said.

"I'll definitely come back soon, after all, today..." Jiang Chen looked at Liu Yin with a smile, his meaning quite clear.

"Then come back soon." Although Liu Yin hadn't been with Jiang Chen for long, she understood what he meant.

After bidding farewell to Liu Yin, Jiang Chen left the Jiang residence.

Having visited the palace before, Jiang Chen planned to explore the capital city of Da'an Dynasty this time.

Of course, Jiang Chen also wanted to think about the development of his family in the Da'an Continent.

"Developing a family business is the first step."

"The Great An Continent has many countries, so a comprehensive plan is necessary."

"Besides using imperial power, we also need to use those families..."

Jiang Chen's mind drifted to a plan to develop his family business.

Just then, a horse-drawn carriage slowly approached from the front.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a jewelry store.

Immediately afterwards, a beautifully dressed young girl stepped down from the carriage.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen stared intently, his gaze hardening.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and obtained a low-grade third-tier spiritual vein.]

"I previously signed in twenty times in a row and got a first-grade low-level spiritual vein, and then I got a second-grade low-level spiritual vein. Now, after signing in twenty times in a row, I got a third-grade low-level spiritual vein."

"This is good stuff."

A spiritual vein is the core of a spiritual land. A common method for a powerful family, sect, or martial arts clan to dominate a spiritual land is to construct a "mountain-protecting array" based on the spiritual vein. This array utilizes the power of the spiritual vein to conduct comprehensive, unobstructed surveillance, illusion, attack, and defense within a certain range. Naturally, the higher the level of the spiritual vein, the higher the level of the mountain-protecting array it can support, and the stronger its power. Different types of mountain-protecting arrays also emphasize different aspects of their power.

Besides the mountain-protecting array, cultivation rooms, alchemy furnaces and weapon-refining furnaces, spiritual plant cultivation rooms, and spiritual pet cultivation rooms, which require a large amount of spiritual energy, can all be linked to the spiritual veins through the spirit-guiding array. Different spiritual energy allocation schemes are available at different security levels.

The daily output frequency/amount of spiritual energy from a spiritual vein should be consistent with the input frequency/amount of spiritual energy. This will keep the total spiritual energy content of the spiritual vein roughly unchanged, so as to facilitate the sustainable development of a sect or family.

"Spiritual veins are divided into low-grade spiritual veins, mid-grade spiritual veins, high-grade spiritual veins, and top-grade spiritual veins."

“Each level of spiritual vein is divided into nine tiers, with the first tier being the lowest and the ninth tier being the highest.”

"A first-grade low-level spiritual vein is the lowest level of spiritual vein."

"A second-tier low-grade spiritual vein is a spiritual vein that is second only to a first-tier low-grade spiritual vein."

"A third-grade low-level spiritual vein is second only to a second-grade low-level spiritual vein."

"A first-grade low-level spiritual vein can produce one hundred low-level spirit stones a year, a second-grade low-level spiritual vein can produce four hundred low-level spirit stones a year, and a third-grade low-level spiritual vein can produce one thousand six hundred low-level spirit stones a year."

"This is good stuff."

"The Jiang family needs such a spiritual vein to build a system for obtaining spiritual stone resources."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Yin Shujun, a character in "The Best Son-in-Law".

In the drama, she is the eldest daughter of the Yin family and the Princess Consort of Rui. Dignified, intelligent, and passionate, she initially maintains a respectful relationship with Prince Rui due to a political marriage. Despite being a woman, Yin Shujun participates in court affairs, offering advice and strategies to Prince Rui. Her keen political insight and decisive decision-making impress him. Their feelings deepen as they face the rebellion of Prince Yu together, ultimately becoming like-minded partners. Furthermore, she supports Jian Mingshu in establishing "Hualang Pavilion," providing a place for women in the capital to live and work.

“Yin Shujun in the TV series ‘The Best Son-in-Law’”.

"I never expected to run into her here."

"Good luck."

In the drama, Yin Shujun comes from the prestigious Yin family of Jinling. As the eldest daughter of the main branch, she received strict etiquette education from a young age. Her mother, Madam Yin, taught her with the strictness of a noble family, requiring her to adhere to the code of conduct for aristocratic women.

According to the family tradition of arranged marriages, she was betrothed to Prince Rui, a member of the royal family, but Eun Suk-kwan strongly resisted this arrangement.

To escape a political marriage, Yin Shujun took drastic measures, deliberately spreading rumors of arrogance to lower Prince Rui's favor, and secretly switching the betrothal documents to marry her cousin, Yin Liangjun. When her family pressured her to marry a man over forty years old as her second wife, she risked seeking help from her maid, Jian Mingshu, and conveyed her feelings for Jiang Wenrui through a sachet embroidered with the character "Rui".

After being forced into marriage with Prince Rui, Yin Shujun displayed remarkable political acumen: resolving internal disputes within the Prince's household and assisting Prince Rui in overcoming court dilemmas such as the imperial examination fraud case. Her independent personality gradually shattered Prince Rui's preconceived prejudices, and the two evolved from cold and distant to loving partners.

When Yin Shujun was framed by the Western Regions Flower Incident orchestrated by Yin Xianjun, she used her keen insight to see through the conspiracy and, with the help of Jian Mingshu, finally exposed her cousin's tricks of forging evidence of their time together and spreading rumors.

In the finale, Yin Shujun is pregnant, and the child in her womb symbolizes the continuation of new life. She and Prince Rui raise the child together, forming a family of three, while the affairs of Hualang Pavilion are handled by Yuan Ying to ensure a smooth transition.

"Yin Shujun is an outstanding noblewoman in the play."

"Such a noblewoman, after getting married, will be the most outstanding noblewoman."

Jiang Chen sized up Yin Shujun.

Yin Shujun and Shi Fako in "Mingmei Shanqu" were played by the same actor in their previous lives.

However, Yin Shujun's aura was more captivating.

"The Yin family..."

Information about the Yin family surfaced in Jiang Chen's mind.
