Love & The Emperor EP01 I'm an Ordinary Gamer

If

you're playing a court-based cultivation game

What characters would you choose?

I would like to live in the palace, swim in luxury,

and enjoy the supreme honor.

With my fair skin, slender figure,

rosy lips and bright eyes,

I am destined to bask in the special favor of the king.

Li Xia, what are you doing there?

Is it because you want to drink it for not emptying the chamber pot?

But this ugly,

humble, ragged girl

who brushes the chamber pot every day,

with a scar on face, is me.

Li Xia

It's no good to offend Your Royal Highness

Cleaning the floor is a small punishment

I've scrubbed the floor all afternoon.

Who would believe it?

What is this?

A silly sand sculpture?

Sisters

I've wiped the floor over sixty times,

even if you are not distressed about me,

at least show your pity to the poor floor.

It is going to be scratched damage.

By virtue of the kindness of Her Royal Highness,

We let you off this time.

Come into the yard,

Right off.

OK.

I'm starving,

Li Xia

Have you finished cleaning the closestool?

Sisters, I haven't eaten for the whole day.

Can I brush it after dinner?

It stinks!

How can you

eat in such an environment?

Are you a dung beetle?

Now that I'm determined to be someone,

I'll never give up.

Don't blame me for not reminding you

that you should cherish the present "sweet" moment.

After all, you will not have the chance of brushing it.

The day after tomorrow, you will marry Eunuch Yin.

Marry, eunuch?

Eunuch Yin is old and ugly.

He doesn't bathe, and gets a body odor.

He is bad-tempered and hard-drinking.

Two maids have been beaten to death by him.

I give in, and I don't wanna play it anymore.

Electronic video games,

a giant industry with an annual output value

of more than 800 billion US dollars,

is the biggest dream-building factory in the world.

I just want to ask,

after the character bought the gears,

why can combat power be reduced by another 100?

Tell me why?

And you

Yuan Lei

Why is this figure painted as such?

Is this your standard of finding boyfriend?

Let me explain.

Stop it!

In order to launch the game as soon as possible,

the staff of Oasis Games Studio,

working overtime without sleep.

Being under huge pressure,

we argue occasionally.

It's inevitable.

What is this?

Are you OK?

I'm sorry.

What else do we need this straight line for?

OK, you ameliorate it afterwards.

I, Li Xia,

is the one who creates a dream world for you,

an art designer.

Come on.

The degree of fantasy in the game

matches the extent to which reality is bleak.

But in this miserable real world,

There also exists a dreamy romance.

Good morning

Good morning, Xiaxia

Didn't go back home last night again?

Why, why are you so early?

The first closed beta will start soon,

so I'm here to make preparations.

You, you,

you are working hard.

It's not as hard as you.

Are you worn out recently?

Your skin is not as fair as before.

Is it?

Just kidding.

Go back early and get ready,

you are the first player in our closed beta.

See you later.

Xiao Ning is my Prince Charming.

Brother Ning, could I ask you something?

Why we choose Xiaxia

as the first player in our closed beta?

Do you have a crush on her?

Fang Bo, don't talk nonsense.

Is the signal Ok?

Ning, don't be so boring!

Just say it.

I think Xiaxia is a good girl.

There is no extra reason for choosing her.

It's only because she's ordinary.

She has no merit

except that she can cook.

I can't even recognize her in the crowd.

All she knows is making blind and disorderly conjectures.

Our game is targeting at

players like her

whose appearances are not appealing.

And what's more,

How can I find a girlfriend

who is as ordinary as her?

Get to work!

I know I'm an ordinary player.

I know I'm ugly and like daydreaming,

but I just don't want to hear these words

from him.

Being not confident

doesn't mean I'm not without dignity.

This one looks handsome.

This one looks handsome, too.

can't harden my heart to delete them.

What should I do?

The game is not real,

but is the reality necessarily true?

Xiaxia

If you don't feel well today,

we can test it afterwards.

Please choose a character.

Please choose difficulty level.

Very hard

There are two chances of resurrection

in the very hard mode.

But there aren't any special skills.

Please confirm.

Once the game starts, it can't be changed.

Xiaxia, it's just a beta.

There's no need to...

For the ordinary players like me,

life itself is a very hard mode.

I don't mind another try.

I choose to be myself.

confirm

Your story has been generated.

Please open the front door,

and enter the world of Love with the Emperor.

Not bad.

If there were two more mice

at this place,

it would be more realistic.

Li Xia, Li Xia

I can even feel the temperature.

Our company already has such high technology?

Why are you slacking off again?

Why don't you empty the chamber pot?

You expect us to remind you?

What a rotten luck!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Well, I'll be right there.

How should I address you, sisters?

Don't play dumb.

I'm Li Chun.

I'm Li Qiu.

I'm Li Dong.

I'm Li Xia.

nonsense

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Please lead me there, sisters.

How matching are these names, nice!

Don't blame me for not reminding you

that Your Royal Highness isn't in a good mood today,

and you're late to empty the pot.

Bad luck for you.

Is that exaggeration?

Li Xia salutes Your Royal Highness.

Get in.

Get in right away.

This is for you to remember today's lesson.

Next time if you are late again,

don't blame me for being merciless.

Just a otome game, is it good to create such violence?

What are you muttering about?

I ought to tear your mouth apart.

Your Royal Highness, I beg your pardon, please calm down.

What are you doing there?

Is it because you want to drink it for not emptying the chamber pot?

How dare you

keep your back straight.

Do you want to scare me with your ugly face?

Ying

When are you going to stand up?

Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for the whole day,

Please take care of your body.

Your Majesty doesn't eat, we won't get up.

Your Majesty doesn't eat,

we won't get up.

Pass the food.

Take these all away.

Your Majesty, this is the medicated food

carefully prepared by imperial physicians and imperial kitchen.

You dedicated your heart and soul

to the South Ting

Your Majesty, your health is of paramount importance.

Your Majesty, please have dinner.

Your Majesty, please have dinner.

Your Majesty, where are you going?

I'm tired. I need a rest.

The day after tomorrow, you will marry Eunuch Yin.

How strange!

Isn't the game-saving button here?

But that's exactly how I got in.

But how do I get out?

Where's the taskbar?

And where's the three game-saving button?

Taskbar

Xiaxia's cooking skills are indeed the most exquisite in the world.

It's a blessing to find a girlfriend like you.

How can I find a girlfriend

who is as ordinary as her?

Besides cooking,

she's nothing.

I can't even find her in the crowd.

Why it's not super rich,

being a Chinese kung fu guru,

or having a stunning beauty.

What's the advantage of acquiring cooking skills!

Your Majesty.

Do you want to take a meal?

No, I'm not hungry.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

What's going on?

Time for flipping over a plaque.

Should I inform Lanxinzhai Palace to make preparations?

Take off your clothes.

Your Majesty...

Stop talking,

lie in bed.

Damn user interface.

Where is the game-saving button

hidden in the garden?

What the hell?

Such a vulgar trick,

how could I not have thought of it?

What are you doing?

Gosh, someone's coming!

Don't do that, please.

Wake up

Are you Ok?

Who are you? Don't come here.

If you do that again, I'll call out for help.

Are you crazy?

It's you who are crazy.

How can you, a eunuch, behave like a hoodlum?

A hoodlum?

What does it mean?

You cannot do this.

Let me go!

Please, it's gonna be late.

Don't be impulsive. Listen to me.

Let me go!

Mind your own business.

Our body, hair and skin are given by our parents,

how can you damage it at will?

You don't understand. I'm not going to commit suicide. I am...

Wait, wait.

These characters don't know

that it's just a game.

If I tell the truth，

I'm going to be arrested as a madman.

Anyway, stay away from me.

Leave me alone.

Do you know

committing suicide will lead you to hell,

leave you endless pains.

Not only will you not get relief,

the people who cope with your body

will also be involved within it.

So you mean

in order not to cause trouble to others,

I even don't have the right to die.

I've lived such a miserable life,

why can't I commit suicide?

You must be troubled by your appearance,

must have suffered a lot, right?

But even so,

You don't have to die.

Sorry,

my ugly face has stained your eyes.

When did I describe you as ugly?

How can I be the person who judges people by their appearance?

Come on,

even if you are a eunuch,

you're still a man.

All men are the same.

None of you are reliable.

not reliable?

What does "not reliable" mean?

Not to the point.

You, you dare say it again.

How can you take me?

Want to hit me?

How can there be a person like you

who returns kindness with ingratitude?

Anyway, I don't want to

argue with you this time.

Stay out of my business.

I just don't want to see someone dying.

I'll never see it again.

What does your life have to do with me?

So why are you still standing here?

It's none of your business where am I.

Sorry, little brother.

You are handsome and kind, a little angel.

Please don't take offence at me.

But if I don't piss you off,

I'll have to stay here and marry the eunuch.

The first player to enter the game is

Li Xia

Our game is targeting at

players like her

whose appearances are not appealing.

Very hard

I'm starving.

The day after tomorrow, you will marry Eunuch Yin.

I'm not playing the game any longer!

When we are dissatisfied with reality,

we escaped into the game.

When the game fails,

We want to escape to the reality.

In fact, what we eager to escape most

is ourselves who we have no courage to face up to.

That weak, self-contemptuous, ordinary,

and imperfect self.
