I am the Rebirth System: The Heroine Transformation Plan

Chapter 383 The Queen of the Republic of China Who Was a Gigolo (6)

Xie Lingdang explained: "Because your roles are deeply rooted in people's hearts, because of your talent and personal charm. They regard you as an idol."

The famous films Xu Yuanying made in her previous life were all about the miserable plight of women at the bottom of society.

Perhaps because she came from this social class, she could especially understand the feelings of those who struggle hard at the bottom of society and yet resist unyieldingly.

Her movies are loved by many female fans.

When they saw their goddess being forced to death by the world and two men, many fans could not accept this reality.

Some fans committed suicide for her, and many people cursed the ruthless Wu Daiming and Qiu Yongxing.

For a while, the newspapers were full of condemnation of the two men.

"You are the spiritual pillar of the fans, you know? And do you know how people will evaluate you a hundred years later?"

Xu Yuanying shed tears as she watched the scene of thousands of people crying on the "screen": "How, how do you comment on it?"

"After your death, Kang Qiu made a talkie film, which was a remake of your last film. The public thought that her filming was not good and not as good as your acting. Even she herself said that you can play her role, but she can't play your role. Later generations evaluated you as one of the 100 best film actors in the -year history of Chinese film."

"I...I...wuwuwu..." Xu Yuanying finally couldn't help it and covered her face.

Tears flowed from between fingers.

She never expected that she would be so recognized by fans and future generations.

But she failed to live up to their love and ended her life easily.

The women she portrayed in those movies were exactly the opposite of her in real life. They all fought hard to survive and were unwilling to give up.

For a moment, she felt ashamed.

"Miss? Miss, are you okay? Do you need help?"

A man's voice sounded in my ears.

Xu Yuanying was stunned and slowly raised his head.

A handsome face.

Those gentle eyes were looking at her worriedly.

When he saw her raise her head, there was some surprise on his face.

Then he felt in his pocket, pulled out a handkerchief and handed it over.

It's him?

"Thank you, I'm fine..."

Xu Yuanying did not take the handkerchief. He just said thank you and stood up and left quickly.

The man looked at the girl's back as she left, all he could think of was her delicate look when she just raised her head, tears streaming down her face.

The man smiled and shook his head, stuffed the handkerchief back into his pocket and touched his nose.

"Why are you so panicked? Do you know him?"

Xie Lingdang curiously "flipped through" Xu Yuanying's memories of her previous life.

Speechless.

"You really are... easy to fall in love with."

This person is actually an acquaintance.

This is a director that Xu Yuanying met while filming before her death, and he took good care of her at work.

At that time, she was forced to the point of suffocation by the two men and had begun to show signs of depression.

It was this director who gave her warmth.

Unfortunately, this man also has a family and doesn't want to get involved in this mess.

In view of the rumors that were spreading all over Shencheng at the time, he finally kept his distance from her.

"I was possessed by the devil at first."

Xu Yuanying smiled bitterly and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

"I shouldn't rely on men..."

"You shouldn't destroy other people's families and become a third party."

Xie Lingdang couldn't help but say it out loud.

"third party?"

In her era, there was no concept of a third party.

Various new ideas came from abroad and constantly collided with the powerful ideas of the old forces.

Although some people advocate new culture and say monogamy is more civilized.

However, many places still allow the existence of monogamy and polygamy.

Xie Lingdang knew very well that if she told a person who lived more than a hundred years ago about modern principles, the other party might not understand, but she still couldn't help but say it out.

"In the era I lived in, there were no concubines or mistresses. Men and women were monogamous. People like you who knew that the other person was married and still wanted to be with him were called third parties in our era."

"Oh, I've heard of what you said... I heard that this is the marriage system in foreign countries. So in your time, there were no third parties? Did wives have a high status and husbands respect their wives?"

Xu Yuanying didn't feel offended by Xie Lingdang calling her a third party.

On the contrary, she is curious whether women in the future will have happy marriages.

After all, the country does not allow the existence of concubines.

"It's not like there aren't third parties involved. There are also many husbands who don't respect their wives and have affairs and have other children. There are also men who abuse their wives..."

"Cheating? Having children outside? Does that mean having a mistress? Domestic violence? Um... does that mean beating your wife? Then have the man who beat his wife and the mistress been punished?"

Are concubines still allowed more than a hundred years later?

Xu Yuanying was puzzled.

Xie Lingdang was a little embarrassed: "Yes, she is considered a mistress. And the law stipulates that the children of a mistress also have the right to inherit the man's estate. As for domestic violence... the law only counts it as a marital dispute. Even if a man beats his wife to death, most of them will not be sentenced to death. Some people will be acquitted because of a letter of forgiveness from the man's family."

After all, there were quite a few such things in the missions she took over.

"What?! The child of a concubine can also inherit the family property? Then, then what was Wu Daiming in the first place? He would not be sentenced to death even if he beat his wife to death... This..."

Xu Yuanying was even more confused.

Didn’t Xie Lingdang say that China would become very powerful a hundred years from now and its people would live a free and equal life?

Has the status of women also improved significantly?

Wu Daiming has always been unwilling to marry her or have children with her.

It was because Mr. Wu passed away, and in order to go back and divide the family property, he pretended to have completed the marriage procedures with her and took her back to pay his respects.

Because the Wu family's ancestral precept is that children and grandchildren who are not married cannot inherit the family property.

There is also the case of a husband beating his wife to death. Even in this day and age, that is still murder.

How could he be acquitted?

After a long while, Xu Yuanying finally spoke: "I understand. The times are still progressing, but some aspects are not progressing enough. Women need to continue to work hard and fight for our rights."

Xie Lingdang nodded: "Yes, in every era there will be such a group of women who bravely stand up to fight for the rights that their compatriots deserve. Because we are born as human beings, not reproductive machines, nor commodities to be bought and sold."

She has experienced so many eras and small worlds, and witnessed the hardships faced by women in different periods.

One thing is the same.

Precisely because women have the ability to reproduce but are not as physically strong as men, they will inevitably become commodities and reproductive machines for certain people, whether in the old or new era, as long as it is a patriarchal society.

To this end, women still have a long and difficult road to go.
