Rebirth: Spoiling the Obsessive Film Emperor Chapter 92 Part 1

Chapter 92: Childhood

Seeing the tall man being led out by those two children, Yin Chengjue couldn't help but be stunned.

Snow-white long hair, snow-white eyebrows and eyelashes, a tall and straight nose bridge, pale thin lips, and a handsome face like a Western deity.

The tall man wore a silver long coat over a beige shirt and a dark brown tie, with fitted trousers tucked into brown long boots, looking dashing and handsome as he walked.

Even though he was being led by the hands by two children, he still managed to exude an overwhelmingly domineering aura.

Of course, what made Yin Chengjue freeze wasn't the other's looks, but... that face was one he would absolutely never mistake, a face that frequently appeared on many occasions!

This was Donghuang Qingyan!

Film Emperor Donghuang Qingyan!

What did those two children call Donghuang Qingyan just now?

"Really, where did you run off to with your younger brother? You disappeared in the blink of an eye," a man in a jade-white long robe chided affectionately, stepping forward to naturally tap the foreheads of the two boys.

"Went up a tree, thought they were hiding well, didn't even know how to hide their fox tails," Donghuang Qingyan said without even glancing at the two people standing to the side, his eyes only on the figure of the man in the jade-white long robe.

The man in the jade-white long robe lightly scolded, "Naughty. Go home and accept your punishment yourselves. The kitchen happens to be short of hands to peel eggshells.

Donghuang Qingyan: "Not a single bit of egg white is to be damaged. One broken egg means one hour of handstand."

The two children: "Wahhh..."

Watching the familiar interaction between the two, Yin Chengjue then remembered that this Film Emperor had been very tough back in the day. At the peak of his career development, he publicly declared he was married, and moreover, had gotten a certificate with another man. With the help of scientific medical technology, they had four children.

During that time, Donghuang Qingyan's fans massively turned on him. A flood of rumors—both true and false—spread wildly, tarnishing his award-winning reputation and painting him as utterly worthless. A powerful backlash sought to drag him through the mud, intent on sacrificing his career to mourn the loss of their idealized image and affection.

That month could be said to be the darkest month in Donghuang Qingyan's debut history.

He almost perfectly demonstrated, with his own personal example, why dating means unemployment for celebrity idols, and marriage means permanent retirement from the industry.

Donghuang Qingyan's debut path had been very smooth, extremely smooth. Because of his uniquely high looks, perfectly proportioned tall and athletic build, and what seemed likep innate acting skills, it wasn't just the heavens rewarding him with a meal—it was the heavens chasing him to feed him, adding more bowls if it wasn't enough.

Some people are destined to be born kings.

After Donghuang Qingyan appeared in the public eye through a perfume advertisement, fans of his looks swarmed in, and promotional articles spread everywhere. After that, it was smooth sailing all the way.

So when Donghuang Qingyan self-reported having a family, the fans reacted with such frantic and vehement rejection.

Everyone thought Donghuang Qingyan wouldn't survive that month of fan backlash, but what no one expected was that a month later, Donghuang Qingyan started a live broadcast.

When his face appeared enlarged on the screen, the haters who had turned from fans were once again nearly breathless from his handsomeness.

They begged Donghuang Qingyan to deny that the Weibo post announcing his family status was fake.

But Donghuang Qingyan completely ignored these pleas and directly brought out two of his sons.

Looking at those two small, handsome faces that already bore a striking resemblance to Donghuang Qingyan, the fan-turned-haters collectively fell silent.

First, the faces of these two children completely debunked the rumors that Donghuang Qingyan had plastic surgery.

Second, although they didn't really want to admit it... looks really can overcome many things.

And last straw that crushed the camel's back was Donghuang Qingyan's partner, the one he had proactively and publicly revealed himself, who walked into the shot from behind Donghuang Qingyan.

Given the massive scale of the incident, some highly charged videos from that time continue to circulate online even now.

For example, Donghuang Qingyan's partner was wearing a black long robe, holding a folding fan. While sitting properly, fanning himself, and eating an apple Donghuang Qingyan personally peeled for him, he simultaneously took on all comers in debate, leaving the haters in the comments doubting their life choices.

For example, Donghuang Qingyan's partner glanced at the screen full of "get out of the entertainment industry" comments, let out a light scoff, wrapped his arms around Donghuang Qingyan's neck, and said with a protective, possessive air, "Going home to be my little sweetheart alone would be even better, no? I'd be overjoyed. How is that a curse?"

From then on, Donghuang Qingyan's partner earned the title of King of Clapbacks, and his skills only grew stronger with time.

Over time, people simply grew accustomed to it.

And really—an entire family of good-looking men?

What’s not to like?

Haters turning into devoted shippers? Consider it done.

Of course, there were still those who cursed their divorce, but three years passed, five years passed, seven years passed. Every year, vacations, honeymoons—they didn't miss a single one. The several children also grew up day by day under the fans' watchful eyes.

Over time, fans grew accustomed to eating dog food.
