The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

58

At 9 PM that evening, the official Weibo account of 'The Great General', which had been inactive for a long time, suddenly updated with a video.

@The Great General: The trailer is here~

At exactly 9:01 PM, the lead actors, Ye Zexi and He Jinyun, shared the post.

@Ye Zexi: Are you here to watch the play too, sir?

@He Jinyun: Shall I call you Ah Zi?

Fans and netizens were initially puzzled, unsure why the CP accounts were suddenly active. But once they clicked on the video, it all became clear.

What CP promotion?

This was clearly a new movie promotion!

The trailer, just a minute and a half long, began with an exquisite operatic aria: "From where the war began, none can be seen returning."

Along with this, there was a deafening battle scene and a grand panoramic view unfolded on the screen.

The comments quickly started:

"Indeed, it's a war-themed movie."

"That aria! Is that Shan Zeyu's voice! I'm dying!"

"He's right, Emperor He didn't lie. They really got Shan Zeyu to sing the theme song!"

"Wow, the war scenes look magnificent. I'm starting to get excited!"

But the initial awe didn't end there. The scene shifted, and a lively street appeared with a clear face in the center of the screen—

"Are you here to watch the play too, sir?"

"It's Ye Zexi!"

"Wow, Ye Zexi in historical costume is killing me! He looks so, so, so handsome!"

"That blue robe and black hair are stunning!!"

"Different from his previous Bulgari ad. That was flashy; this is elegant!"

In the video, the youthful general Shan Chenzhou's surprise flickers in his eyes.

Amidst their glances, emotions gradually arise.

The comments were buzzing with excitement:

"Shipping them!"

"That look was so affectionate!"

"Ahhh, it's really happening! It's real!"

"They're so sweet, whether in the movie or in real life!"

"Even a casual fan like me is starting to ship them!"

"Agreed, but I'm curious—could this really be a war film? It looks so beautiful!"

Just as the comments were being made, the video's tone shifted—

With a crow's mournful cry, the music turned sorrowful.

The city of Ning fell, and the Great Jin was in ruins.

The city was in tatters, bones scattered, the desolate land covered with lifeless corpses.

Amid the broken walls and blood-stained sky, Ah Zi's desperate cry rang out: "Ah Yan—"

The piercingly sorrowful voice gave many viewers chills.

"Damn! Why do I feel like this is going in a dark direction?"

"Damn, was that Ye Zexi's voice? I've got goosebumps!"

"Ah Yan, isn't that Tang Jing?"

"Oh, my heart aches for my Sugar!"
