“You women don’t understand.” Wang Shi said with a hint of emotion, “The way out for men in this world is nothing more than finding a good partner, giving birth to a smart and well-behaved child, and staying at home for a lifetime. If others mention you, at most they’ll say you’re someone’s husband. Even your name isn’t worthy of being mentioned or remembered.”

“But performing at the palace banquet, not only will others remember your name, even history books and future generations will record your name. This is the greatest honor a man can see and touch, except for becoming the Phoenix Lord.”

“Performing at the palace banquet is not showing off. It’s an honor.” Wang Shi’s eyes sparkled. “When I was young, I also wanted to enter the academy, but unfortunately, I wasn’t talented enough to be selected.”

[Sigh, the female-dominant world is just a gender-reversed male-dominant world. Wang Shi’s words sound so sad.] [In the male-dominant world, the holy mothers didn’t jump out to criticize it. But in the female-dominant world, they jump out to criticize gender inequality. How interesting.] [No matter which world’s men, pitying them will lead to misfortune.]

The live broadcast room fell into chaos for a moment.

[I’m a woman, and I like watching the female-dominant world. Why should I do a gender swap? When there’s news about killing wives and insurance fraud, I don’t see you pitying women and thinking about gender swapping.] [Amitabha, don’t argue, don’t argue, just watch.]

Yan Jin, who went back to the room to pack her luggage, noticed the eagerness on Yu Shu’s face and decided to remind him.

She reminded him. As for whether he listens or not, that’s Yu Shu’s business.

When the two stood at the village entrance, ready to part ways, Yu Shu took the initiative to speak. “You wanted to say something to me, right? You’ve been looking at me a lot along the way. I guess you must have something to say to me but don’t know how to say it.”

“I’m really afraid of trouble, so I originally didn’t want to say it.” Yan Jin slowly spoke, “But thinking that we can at least be considered fellow townsmen, and after this parting, we might not see each other again for a long time, maybe even a lifetime. If I don’t remind you, my conscience wouldn’t be at ease.”

[Uh… I just realized they seem to have never mentioned sticking together after transmigrating.] [?? !! This is a female-dominant world. If Yu Shu leaves Yan Jin, how will he live?] [What’s wrong with you in front? Yu Shu is an adult! He can survive even if he leaves Yan Jin. He won’t die! Don’t think of him as a man without independent ability in the female-dominant world, okay?]

“Although going to that school to learn singing and dancing is very suitable for your profession and is a good choice, the marriage values in this world are quite different from what we’ve been exposed to.” Yan Jin tried to make herself sound tactful. “If you don’t want to enter the palace and share a wife-master with others, remember to protect yourself.”

“I knew you would say these things to me.” The corners of Yu Shu’s lips lifted, his eyes shining as if adorned with stars. “I’ve already inquired about it. Although the emperor of this world has three palaces and six courtyards, he has genuine feelings for the Phoenix Lord. Ever since the Phoenix Lord died, he hasn’t taken any more concubines.”

“No matter how my future partner was before, as long as they’re with me, they must only love me alone.” Yu Shu’s entire face and features came alive, dazzling and eye-catching. “I want to be a free fish, not a caged canary.”

After knowing that Yu Shu had a plan in mind, Yan Jin felt that as a fellow townsman, she had already done enough. She didn’t say more. “See you again someday.”

After saying that, Yan Jin turned and left without any hesitation.

“Wait.” Yu Shu stopped Yan Jin. “There are many opportunities in the capital. You’re so smart. Don’t you plan to go to the capital and give it a shot?”

“You can still go back to your old profession, but I can’t.” Yan Jin shook her head with a smile. “The technology in this era is too backward, and my work can’t be separated from the support of high technology. So as long as I’m here for a day, I can’t go back to my old profession.”

Yan Jin said it lightly. Yu Shu put himself in her shoes and thought that if he could never return to the stage for the rest of his life, he couldn’t help but feel sad for Yan Jin.

“It’s okay.” Yu Shu carefully concealed the concern in his tone. “Heaven creates a person with a purpose. Yan Jin, you’re so smart. You’ll definitely find another job that suits you.”

Yan Jin was stunned for a moment. Seeing Yu Shu’s concern for her, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but rise. “It’s rare to have a vacation. I need to relax well and not find a job so quickly.”

Seeing that the frown on Yu Shu’s brow hadn’t eased, Yan Jin softened her tone. “Being half a step ahead is genius, being a step ahead is madness. I want to be a mediocre genius, not a madman who is not understood by others.”
