MO BAO SHEN P.O.V

I ran inside my house and shut myself in my room. I didn't bother to change out of my school uniform as I quickly turned on my laptop. Today was the day that the final chapter of The Immortal Emperor's Wife will be released. I'll finally get to know if the MC and the ML will be together forever and see how the story ends.

I've been following the web novel - The Immortal Emperor's Wife - ever since its release 2 years ago. The author is named LAZY and at first, I thought he didn't fit that pen name as he's been updating his story every single day. The Immortal Emperor's Wife is the only story he has ever written so far. I don't know if he'll ever write another.

Anyway, the web novel is very popular on the internet; garnering at least over a million readers and followers. I'm a big fan of his story and I admit I'll miss reading it a lot once I'm done reading through the last chapter.

What is the Immortal Emperor's Wife about you may ask? Well, it is a story which is set in a fantasy medieval era which follows the tales of a 16-year-old girl who had to take up the throne at a young age when her father, the emperor died. Her name is Shi Hua. She wasn't of royal blood but rather was adopted by the King of the Purple Kingdom. At the day before his passing, he announced that Shi Hua would become his successor as she was one of the few people he trusted to uphold his ideals and was the only child he had, but Shi Hua however didn't want the throne and instead, sought to venture beyond the walls of her kingdom to see what the world had to offer. So one day, Shi Hua concocted an idea and snuck away from the kingdom, deciding to follow what her father once taught her and pave her own way... Somehow.

Unfortunately for Shi Hua, despite her kind-nature, she was still a sheltered girl and while she was fairly clever, that wasn't exactly enough to net her shelter and food to survive the night, so she decided to visit one of the more closer neighbouring provinces and hope for the best- her first stop was the Black Kingdom (Yes, LAZY — like his name suggest — is lazy in regards to naming kingdoms and other things so he decided to name them by colours). Along the way however, she eventually met her fated one, Xia Wu Da who is revealed to actually be the emperor of the Silver Kingdom but due to some unknown reason, he was now in the Black Kingdom, critically injured. Shi Hua treated his wounds and that's when their relationship began. Soon after this, it was revealed that a great war which would decide the ultimate fate of the world and its inhabitants was foretold and that the reason Xia Wu Da was away from his kingdom is because he seeks to unite the rest of the provinces in order to fight back against whoever was this "prophetic enemy" that is capable of threatening the stability of the world, but Xia Wu Da was but one man and without any companions to help him along, he would surely fail. So, Shi Hua, thrilled at the prospect of an exciting adventure, requested to accompany Xia Wu Da in his quest to prepare the kingdoms for such an event whilst keeping her identity a secret.

Years passed since then, and after adventuring and succeeding in uniting most of the provinces the Purple Kingdom was the last nation that Shi Hua, Xia Wu Da and his party had to form an alliance with. The date of the prophetic war was near and they could no longer afford to wait any longer. There companions however were very hesitant in accompanying them. The reason for this was because the Purple Kingdom turned out to hold a fearsome reputation as one of- if not the most powerful kingdom there was, and though to having intentionally isolating themselves from the rest of the continent, not much is known about them other than that they practice forbidden magic. Heck! Though to how lacking information about them was, it was even rumored that their citizens are nearly equal to hard-boiled veterans of war.
