The Film Queen’s Live-In Son-in-Law is the King of the Women's Kingdom (GL) - Chapter 12

This was their first night together, and the little husband’s heart was aflutter. She washed herself thoroughly, scrubbing over and over again. The little king, who hadn’t scrubbed herself in a long time, accidentally scrubbed herself raw, leaving her skin red all over.

She spent nearly an hour in the bath. By the time she came out, Yu Chiyin was already curled up in bed, playing a match-three game.

That’s right, the great actress Yu would often stay up late, fighting a three-thousand-round war with those cute little icons. When Shen Ji, still damp and warm, crawled into bed, Yu Chiyin was squinting, a serious expression on her face as she scrolled through her phone. 

She mumbled,

 “Why is this so difficult? Is this something a human could even come up with?”

The little husband-in-law’s face was flushed. Before coming out, she had specifically checked for advice on her phone. She had to admit, the modern world was advanced in every way; even advice on nighttime activities for married couples was detailed and vivid.

Before her imperial wedding, Shen Ji had also seen some illustrated books. As an emperor, she naturally had maids to teach her about adult matters, but compared to those rigid, unromantic demonstrations and explanations, the videos on her phone were a bit too much for a king from a few thousand years ago.

But to serve her wife well, Shen Ji, with a slightly yellow face, had studied diligently for a long time before mustering the courage to come out.

She had been excited for nothing. The person in the blanket next to her was just poking her phone. Shen Ji went from hopeful to numb, and from numb to curious. She leaned over and asked, “What is that?”

“It’s a match-three game~” Yu Chiyin replied casually. 

“You’ve never played?”

The little husband-in-law shook her head. She really hadn’t. Strictly speaking, she had only been using a phone for a day.

The “game over” screen mocked the actress who had tried for an hour and still couldn’t pass. Yu Chiyin expressionlessly threw the phone into Shen Ji’s lap. “You play.”

“…” 

Do other sugar daddies or mommies ask you to play a phone game and beat a level for them when you’re both in bed?

“Okay.” The little husband-in-law didn’t know, but she could only obediently follow her wife’s orders.

The little king caught on quickly. She used two attempts to figure out the basic gameplay, and on the third, she not only beat the level but got three stars and didn’t even use any power-ups. She looked at Yu Chiyin with a well-behaved, innocent expression. 

“Should I continue?”

“Yes!”

The great actress Yu gritted her teeth. Why? This illiterate little husband-in-law was obviously a beginner. Her clumsy first attempt clearly showed it was her first time playing, yet she passed the level so easily.

How infuriating!!!

And so, their first night as a married couple was spent with one person effortlessly passing levels, and the other fuming, watching her pass one after another.

The entire night, from 10:30 PM to 6:30 AM, a full eight hours!

When Shen Ji finally couldn’t take it anymore and put the phone down, they both pulled the blanket over their heads and fell asleep. All romantic intentions were gone. Yu Chiyin hadn’t even thought about it, and while the little husband-in-law had been a little tempted, she had become as calm as still water after playing so many games.

But this was the only night they would share a bed for a while. For the next few days, Shen Ji would be alone.

Because her wife had gone to another city for work. The little husband-in-law could only make use of her time. She stayed indoors and studied every day. She was determined to avoid being caught and sliced open for research.

Yu Chiyin would occasionally send a few messages to greet her after work. They didn’t chat often, but in Shen Ji’s eyes, this was quite frequent.

After all, back in Changyuan, the little king only exchanged letters with a princess from a neighboring country a few times a year. Each letter was a month or two apart. She didn’t see anything wrong with their communication frequency.

But Yu Chiyin was very dissatisfied. This little husband-in-law had no sense. At home, she was so considerate and doted on her, but now, on the phone, she was cold and distant. Yu Chiyin even had to initiate topics. So, she sent a warning about cutting her allowance.

******

[My Wife]: “I’m going to cut your allowance!”

[Good Boy, Little Husband-in-Law]: “Huh? Why?”

The little husband-in-law became alert. She immediately put everything down, held her phone as if she were facing a great enemy, and asked one question after another.

[Good Boy, Little Husband-in-Law]: “Did I do something wrong?”

[Good Boy, Little Husband-in-Law]: “Or is my wife in a bad mood today?”

******

Yu Chiyin was pleased, watching the new messages pop up in the chat. Satisfied, she threw her phone aside and decided to ignore her. This little husband-in-law has been acting more like the sugar daddy lately. It’s time to remind Miss Shen who’s the real boss.

There was a reason she had been so busy these past few days. Even though she wasn’t a “traffic star,” marriage was a big deal, especially since her spouse was the notorious playgirl from City A.

Fortunately, the commotion they had caused online that day had mostly led to positive public opinion. People thought they had genuine feelings for each other.

Some fans left, but most of them were rational. They understood that being a fan was one thing, but they shouldn’t interfere with whom Yu Chiyin dated or married; it was her freedom.

An actress with a solid portfolio of work and awards would suffer some impact from marriage, but it was within a controllable range. Getting married to someone of the same s3x had slightly affected Yu Chiyin’s endorsements but also brought her some unexpected business opportunities.

“A dating show?” Yu Chiyin flipped through the documents her agent, 

Li Ran, had given her. She scoffed, 

“For my variety show debut, you want me to do a dating show?”

Yu Chiyin was about to start a new movie, and other scripts were not finalized yet. The filming schedule for this show happened to fit perfectly with her schedule.

“I can’t help it,” Li Ran shrugged, looking more helpless than her. 

“They offered too much money. It would physically hurt me to refuse.”

The variety show debut of a triple-award-winning actress, especially with a new wife, was a hot topic. The other party was very generous, offering a price they simply couldn’t refuse.

“How much?” 

Yu Chiyin was curious. She could be bribed with money, but not many people could afford to bribe the daughter of the wealthiest man in Hucheng.

Li Ran made an exaggerated expression, holding up five fingers.

“That much!”

“Wow!!” Yu Chiyin was even more exaggerated and said without hesitation, 

“Let’s do it, let’s do it!”

Li Ran raised an eyebrow. 

“You don’t need to ask your person?”

“Huh? She’s a little husband-in-law. Of course, what I say goes,”

Yu Chiyin picked up her phone and opened the calculator, calculating how many zeros would soon be added to her bank account.

Li Ran saw her cash cow being so motivated and couldn’t help but complain, 

“You’re the rich daughter of Hucheng’s wealthiest man. Is it really that necessary?”

“Yes, it is. How could it not be? I have a husband-in-law to support now.”

“…Are you just showing off your love?”

“Is this considered that?”

Yu Chiyin was confused. She was just being truthful. This little husband-in-law was not easy to support. She was even more of a money-lover than Yu Chiyin herself, asking for a monthly allowance of 600,000.

While Shen Ji’s cooking skills were mediocre, she was willing to cook. On the day Shen Ji was with her, Yu Chiyin got to experience what it was like to be served hand and foot.

So she happily decided to work hard to make money and support this little husband-in-law who was good in every way and whose face perfectly matched her aesthetic.

Shen Ji, on her end, held her phone and waited and waited, but she never got a reply from her wife. She had no choice but to quickly open her browser and search.

******

[Why would my sugar mommy cut my allowance?]

[What should I do if I accidentally made my wife angry and she won’t talk to me?]

******

After much searching, the answers all came down to one thing: bribe her. Bribe her with actions.

As for how to “bribe with actions,” Shen Ji could only say that she had no knowledge. Her brain’s knowledge was insufficient for the task, and most importantly, since Yu Chiyin wasn’t there, she couldn’t bribe her with actions.

So the little husband-in-law dutifully sent a message to her wife, asking about her schedule.

******

[Good Boy, Little Husband-in-Law]: “Wife, when are you coming back?”

[Good Boy, Little Husband-in-Law]: “If you’re not coming back, can I come to you?”

******

Yu Chiyin saw these two messages only after she had finished her day’s work. She turned to her assistant, Dou Dou, and asked, 

“What time is our flight tomorrow?”

Li Ran had already flown back to Hucheng this afternoon. Yu Chiyin had one more magazine cover to shoot, so she would leave a day later.

Dou Dou checked her phone and said,

“The flight is at 4:30 PM tomorrow.”

So the great actress Yu generously sent a message to the little husband-in-law who had been anxious all day.

******

[My Wife]: “I’ll be home at 7 PM tomorrow. I want sweet and sour pork.”

[Good Boy, Little Husband-in-Law]: “Okay, wife.”

******

It was an instant reply.

Yu Chiyin glanced at the time: 11:45 PM. It was so late. Even though they had only been chatting through the green chat app these past few days, Shen Ji had been consistently going to sleep at 10 PM.

It seemed this little husband-in-law was truly a money-lover, terrified that Yu Chiyin would cut her allowance completely.

Sometimes Yu Chiyin found her adorably simple. After all, the terms were in a contract. They were just in a contractual relationship. Why would she be worried about an allowance being cut?

So she quickly sent a goodnight message to the person who had been worried all day, finally letting her off the hook.

But Shen Ji didn’t go to sleep immediately. She had filled an entire notebook with notes on how to use “actions” to make her wife happy.

After getting the news that Yu Chiyin would be back tomorrow, she immediately opened the food delivery app and, with a yellow face, ordered some necessary items to prepare, and some groceries as well.

Tomorrow, she will not only cook but also cook.

See? As long as you surf fast enough, knowledge will get crammed into your head faster than you can imagine.

After placing her order, she became conflicted. The page she had turned to in her notebook said that a thoughtful “little canary” should wear clothes that fit the scenario.

The little husband-in-law thought back to her pitiful suitcase of clothes and confirmed that she had no clothes that fit the scenario.

So she planned out her outing time and route, intending to go to a mall tomorrow to buy a “battle robe.”

Her expression was strange. The difference between the two worlds was so vast.

To the little King Shen from Changyuan, a “battle robe” was a cold, heavy suit of armor. But in this world, it was the pajamas made with very little fabric.

At this moment, her face wasn’t just yellow; her eyes were glowing with a yellow light. The modern world’s marriage education videos had corrupted her too much. She was imagining all sorts of R-rated scenes with Yu Chiyin.

“Ugh—”

Shen Ji rushed into the bathroom, covering her nose. She looked at her pathetic reflection in the mirror, grinned, and happily showed off all eight of her pearly white teeth.
