Chapter 505 About How I Turned Pampering My Wife into a Hellish Challenge

The two turned around and saw Yang Mi leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, looking at them with a half-smile: "Oh, did I disturb you two?"

Fan Binbin remained calm, instead leaning provocatively into Chen Mo's arms, and lazily said, "Honey, you've come at the right time, want to come together?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes: "Come on, I have no interest in watching your 'wedding night'." She walked over and sat down on Chen Mo's other side, poking his shoulder with her finger. "Young Master Chen, shouldn't you explain yourself?"

Chen Mo feigned ignorance: "Explain what?"

Yang Mi sneered: "Pretend? Fan Bingbing's 'Empress's Wedding' caused a huge uproar online, while our weddings seem like child's play in comparison. What explanation do you have?"

Chen Mo said helplessly, "Honey, this is different..."

"How is it different?" Yang Mi interrupted him. "It's the same wedding, but Fan Bingbing's scale completely overshadows all of ours. They even arranged for you to wear a wedding dress as a 'sacrifice.' Why didn't the rest of us get this treatment at our weddings?"

Chen Mo only used a trailer to create a huge online buzz, which amazed many people.

A marketing blogger wrote an article titled: "What defines a top-tier player? Chen Mo is one!"

"This wave of public opinion storm may seem like a barrage of criticism, but it's actually exactly what Chen Mo wanted—he's enjoying this controversy! If you look closely, you'll find that those keyboard warriors who are jumping up and down and cursing are essentially just free publicity tools for Chen Mo."

What's most amazing is that Chen Mo turned the derogatory term "scumbag" into a compliment! Look at the online discussions; the core issue is no longer "should we condemn scumbags?" but rather "why is he so hateful yet so lovable?"

As one netizen aptly put it: "If you could be like Chen Mo, giving every woman billions of shares and exuding the aura of a domineering CEO even in a wedding dress, you would also be qualified to be that scumbag!"

What's even more astonishing is the women's reaction. Even a queen-like figure like Fan Binbin was completely transformed into a lovestruck little woman by Chen Mo's combination of "foot-washing ceremony + phoenix coronet and wedding gown".

The other female friends were even more envious—they knew that this man was flirting with several women at the same time, but seeing the grand "Empress's Wedding" he put on for Fan Binbin, they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.

It's like knowing it's poison, but the poison is packaged so beautifully that its effects are so intoxicating that it makes you feel like you're floating on air. Who could resist that?
Ultimately, Chen Mo took the concept of "spoiling women" to an extreme level.

Ordinary wealthy people give bags and cars? He gives shares in listed companies! Young heartthrobs make romantic confessions? He throws you a wedding of the century! Most importantly, this guy is particularly good at understanding women's hearts—he made Fan Binbin's famous line "I am the wealthy family" a reality with a "female emperor's wedding." This is comparable to Xue Huaiyi building the Tongtian Pagoda for Wu Zetian, except Chen Mo is much more sophisticated than Xue Huaiyi; he's truly willing to spend a fortune!
Right now, the whole internet is discussing a philosophical question: should we call him a scumbag or learn from his doting on women? Look at those who are criticizing him the most; if you open Weibo, nine out of ten are secretly forwarding the "seeking a rich woman to take him in" meme.

This is what makes Chen Mo so amazing—he turned "living off a woman" into the ultimate dream for men across the internet, whitewashed "being a scumbag openly" as genuine personality, and finally made women feel that "it's worth being scumbaged by such a scumbag once!"
What defines a top-tier player? It's someone who can draw everyone into their own game rules and still make their opponents willingly become the atmosphere-setter. In this situation, Chen Mo must be laughing in his sleep—the more you curse, the more devoted my women become! This is a winning streak!

Indeed, at this moment, the wedding promotional video for "The Empress's Wedding" has become the most anticipated film.

According to netizens, they would buy tickets just to see Chen Mo in his phoenix coronet and wedding robes!

The movie "The Empress's Wedding" is scheduled to premiere on May 20th. Originally, this so-called "Internet Valentine's Day" was not even considered a big deal in China - it is neither a statutory holiday nor has any profound cultural heritage. At most, it is just a time for young couples to send red envelopes and show their affection, and for businesses to make some "520 packages" to fool people.

But this time it's different! Chen Mo's outrageous "Empress's Wedding" move has turned May 520th into a nationwide carnival! Why? Because investors and businesses have realized—this is practically a money-printing machine!

Then a lot of outrageous things happened, such as a collective boom in the wedding industry - May 520th was originally just an ordinary day for getting a marriage certificate, but now it has been turned into a prime time for "reverse weddings" by "The Empress's Wedding"!

A wedding planning company launched a "Wedding Package the Same as Empress's" overnight, priced at 1314 million yuan (comparable to Chen Mo's "Ten Miles of Red Makeup"), and actually a wealthy woman placed an order! Even more outrageous, the regular version of the "Son-in-Law Experience Package" (including the rental of a phoenix coronet and wedding gown + a queen's scepter prop) was oversubscribed, and customer service cried out that "their hands cramped from handling so many orders."

Luxury brands are frantically jumping on trending topics—a jewelry brand quickly launched a collaboration with the "Eastern Pearl Phoenix Crown" (advertising slogan: Be his empress, let him wear the pearl crown for you), with a string of zeros after the price, but it sold out instantly as soon as the pre-sale link went live. Even more outrageous is the QQ lingerie brand, which directly copied the dragon-patterned court robe design from Fan Binbin's drama, modified it into a deep V-neck backless style, and boldly proclaimed on the product page: "Wear it, and tonight you'll be his empress!"

The catering industry has also started to pull off some outrageous moves. A high-end restaurant held a "Royal Kitchen Wedding Banquet," with all the waiters dressed as eunuchs and palace maids. A milk tea shop launched the "Empress's Love" series (cup sleeves printed with a Q version of Chen Mo's wedding dress), and gave away "I have read it" stickers with the purchase of two cups. Even roadside barbecue stalls hung up banners: "Empress's same style of red willow skewers, eat them and you're in charge tonight!"

Even more outrageous, as we all know, shopping festivals have been overused and exploited for a long time.

However, several e-commerce platforms collectively renamed their 520 promotions the "Empress Shopping Festival," with a large image on their homepage featuring Chen Mo in a wedding dress, accompanied by the caption: "Spoil him by emptying his shopping cart!" As a result, sales of men's products skyrocketed that day, and the comments section was filled with messages like: "My wife bought me a game console; I finally understand the joy of being a live-in son-in-law!"

To be frank, this isn't Chen Mo hyping things up at all; it's the whole society taking advantage of his popularity!
Capitalists are calculating their moves: it doesn't matter if it's a marriage between a man and a woman or vice versa, as long as it makes money, it's good marketing! Now even the civil affairs bureau is jumping on the bandwagon, with some cities launching a special "Empress Marriage Certificate" service on May 520th—the woman's name can be printed before the man's on the marriage certificate, and it's even stamped with a gold dragon seal!
Of course, Chen Mo found these things somewhat amusing, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

The main reason is that he also has a bit of a headache right now.

Because of his actions, he literally blew up his own backyard!
He originally thought that at most he would be scolded by moralists for being "immoral," or ridiculed by his peers as "the benchmark of scumbags," or mocked by netizens for "single-handedly raising the bar for scumbags"—he didn't care about any of that, since his fans and supporters would naturally fight back for him.

But he never expected that the biggest trouble would not be the criticism from the outside world, but the collective "rebellion" of his own women!
It's not scarcity we worry about, but inequality!
Those like Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Yifei who haven't had a wedding yet are fine, since they can follow Fan Binbin's standards and even take the opportunity to make outrageous demands: "What Sister Binbin has, I want too!"

The problem is—the others who have already had their weddings are now incredibly envious!

Although the wedding Chen Mo had arranged for them was already considered "outrageously extravagant" by ordinary people—such as recreating a classical wedding, flying on a sword, top-tier jewelry, and custom-made wedding dresses—any one of the details could make an ordinary girl envious to tears.

But compared to Fan Binbin's "Empress's Wedding", it instantly became "ordinary"!
why?
Because this time, Chen Mo wasn't playing the "spending money" card, but rather the "ruining his public image" card!
He transformed himself into the "ceiling of son-in-laws"—wearing a wedding dress, a phoenix crown, and being "married" by Fan Binbin!
In their eyes, this level of "sacrifice" is far more shocking than spending a lot of money on a wedding!
As a result, Chen Mo's harem chat exploded—

Yang Mi: "Hehe, some people say they're treating everyone equally, but then they turn around and give Binbin a 'female emperor's wedding'? Why didn't I get this treatment at my wedding?"

Zhang Yuqi: "Exactly! Although my wedding was luxurious, compared to the 'Empress's Wedding,' it was like playing house!"

Zhao Liying: "@Chen Mo, please explain? Why were you allowed to wear a wedding dress to Binbin's wedding, but you weren't allowed to wear one to mine? Is this preferential treatment?"

Even Da Tian Tian was a little envious this time: "@Chen Mo, I want to marry you too!"

Chen Mo stared at the messages flooding his phone screen, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

This is too much trouble!
He originally just wanted to pamper Fan Binbin, but unexpectedly, it made the other women collectively "envious"!
What should we do now?
Should we hold a "Grand Empress Wedding" for each of them? Wouldn't that mean they'd have to wear wedding dresses seven times?

Netizens are probably dying of laughter: "Chen Mo isn't a scumbag, he's a professional 'bride'!"

Chen Mo stared at the messages flooding his phone, his face contorted with exasperation.

"That's enough! What am I supposed to do? I can't really do what Binbin did and have an empress wedding. Wearing this wedding dress once is just for fun, but if I wear it seven times, I'll really become a professional bride."

Yang Mi replied instantly: "We don't care, you just need to give the girls an explanation! Everyone agrees, right? @Everyone!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded +1!"

I second that.

Chen Mo looked helpless and could only type, "So what do you want? Don't go too far!"

"You have to compensate us, emmm, how about this, promise each of us one thing!" Yang Mi replied.

Zhang Yuqi was the first to say, "I want it changed so that you wear a mermaid dress and walk the red carpet with me!"

Da Tian Tian sent a 60-second voice message, which, when opened, was filled with barely suppressed laughter: "I want you to dress up as Pikachu and dance for me at Disneyland! Hahaha!"

Chen Mo:
