100 Questions Q&A for the Married Couple in Captivity

Wu Zhi: ……

Wu Yuan: Yo~ Zhizhi, long time no see.

Wu Zhi (flipping the table): Why are you here?!

Wu Yuan (splaying hands): Because a certain lousy author said that if it shows up, someone would dig out its brain without explanation.

Ye Qingling: …… [voiceover: Boss Ye, you might as well make the regret on your face more obvious QAQ]

Wu Yuan (shoving Wu Zhi at Ye Qingling): These story settings aren’t important, come on. The idiot author said that she wanted to heal the readers and flirt with cute girls. So, this is a happy 100 Questions Couple Q&A, hey~ (there seems to be a big misunderstanding here) Come on, Zhizhi, tell your sister how you were pushed down, myahahaha~

Wu Zhi: I want a new host!!!

1. What are your names?

Wu Zhi (unwillingly): Wu Zhi.

Wu Yuan (wickedly): What about your nicknames? Say it all.

Wu Zhi (silent, and then erupting): Get the author here to replace her! I want to know how that idiot named me! Zhizhi, Ignorance, Unambitious[1]… None of them are positive, hell!

Wu Yuan: (Ignoring the angry puffed up ball, looking at her brother-in-law instead)

Ye Qingling (hugging and lazily rubbing against the puffed up ball): Ye Qingling… Yezi.

2. What are your genders?

Wu Yuan: (smiling without a word)

Wu Zhi: (nothing to be said)

Ye Qingling: (calmly concluding) … This is a danmei.

3. How old are you?

Wu Zhi: In 1994, I was only 1 year old… In 2012, I was 18 years old… (turns to ask Ye Qingling) What year is it now?

Ye Qingling: (silent)

Wu Yuan (smiling): Little brother, you’re too cruel.

4. What are your personalities like?

Wu Zhi: Positive, impulsive, loud, very soft-hearted.

Ye Qingling: Cold, stubborn, egocentric, very possessive.

Wu Yuan (looking at Wu Zhi pitifully): You are practically perfect examples of a dimwitted level 1 warrior and the max-levelled devil king of the darkness… Brave warrior, rest in peace.

Wu Zhi: (popping a vein)

5. How do you find each other’s character?

Wu Zhi: Very crazy, but very fragile too… (scratches head in frustration) The type that I’m the worst with.

Ye Qingling: Perfect.

Wu Zhi: …

Wu Yuan: …

Wu Yuan: Little brother, even I can’t help blushing for you.

Wu Zhi (lips twitching): Is this my fault?! Am I the one who said that?! (turning to glare daggers at Ye Qingling) Ye— We’re in public, hey!

Ye Qingling: (bites Wu Zhi’s nose in the end, then lets go, satisfied)

Wu Zhi (expressionlessly looking at the excited spectator, Wu Yuan): Let me add one more point. He has no self-control at all.

Wu Yuan (whistling): That would have to depend on who he’s facing, young man.

6. When did you two first meet? And where?

Wu Zhi: First grade in elementary school I guess, or was it second grade? I only remember that I was dozing off, and when some noise woke me up, I took a look before I fell asleep again… I only found out afterwards that we had a new classmate and his seat was behind mine.

Ye Qingling: It was in the second semester in first grade. I was hospitalized for half the semester. After I left the hospital, my father brought me to Zhiye Elementary.

Wu Zhi (counting with fingers): If so, we’ve been classmates for nearly 12 years.

Ye Qingling: Mhm, I requested it.

Wu Zhi (whipping his head back): …Wha?

Ye Qingling (pushing up glasses): I asked the school to put our files together. Like that, we’ll always be allocated to the same class.

Wu Zhi (blankly): …How did you accomplish that?

Ye Qingling: Money.

Wu Zhi: …

Wu Yuan (whistling): How strong and mighty~

Wu Zhi (not giving up): …What if I transferred schools?

Ye Qingling (without a pause): I’ll transfer with you.

Wu Zhi: …… =口=

7. Your first impression of each other?

Wu Zhi: …If you make any more noise, I’ll drag you out and shoot you.

Wu Yuan: (laughing while banging on the table)

Wu Zhi: …I was sleeping back then! I was sleeping!

Ye Qingling (patting Wu Zhi who was close to erupting): To be honest, I thought the same back then too.

Wu Zhi: …

Wu Yuan: …Yezi, do you still dare to not pamper your wife?

8. What do you like about each other?

Ye Qingling: I like Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi: …Wha?

Wu Yuan (whistling): Your face is red, ooh, Student Zhizhi.

Ye Qingling: I like Wu Zhi. I like Wu Zhi’s everything. Wu Zhi is mine. Everything that is represented by the individual, Wu Zhi, is all mine.

Wu Yuan: …Why do I feel a strange frightening excitement? It’s your turn now, Student Zhizhi. What do you like best about Yezi?

Wu Zhi (voice feeble): I… I just simply like this person known as Ye Qingling, isn’t that enough… I’ve never picked out any specific aspect…

Ye Qingling: (lips curving)

9. What do you dislike about each other?

Wu Zhi (resolutely): He likes me far too fucking much!

Wu Yuan (hiding her smile): Ah ha~ Not even happy with this? Zhizhi, you’re really getting too hard to please.

Wu Zhi (a little irritable and uneasy): There should be a limit to everything. That affection is too over the top. My birthday wish is exactly that—

Wu Yuan: …Please turn your head and tell that one behind you, thanks.

Wu Zhi: (falls into a sharp silence)

Ye Qingling: (tightens his arms, nibbling the back of Wu Zhi’s neck with his teeth as punishment)

Wu Yuan (hurriedly mentioning a topic to stop a murder from happening): Yezi, what about you?

Ye Qingling: Will you dislike yourself?

Wu Yuan: (shakes her head)

Ye Qingling (lightly chuckling): So, I won’t dislike Wu Zhi.

10. Do you think your characters are well-matched for each other?

Wu Zhi: Our personalities contrast, but we surprisingly get along well together.

Ye Qingling: Wu Zhi is the most suitable for me.

Wu Yuan (touching her chin): Why do I feel like denying the above declaration will trigger a boss to go berserk, and annihilate all the humans aside from them in order to turn his words into reality?

11. How do you refer to each other?

Wu Zhi: Ye Qingling… Any other nicknames makes me feel uncomfortable.

Ye Qingling: Wu Zhi.

Wu Yuan (holds forehead): How boring.

Ye Qingling (burying his head on Wu Zhi’s shoulder, side-glancing Wu Yuan): Wu Zhi’s everything is mine, even his name is mine. Both the characters, “Wu” and “Zhi” are mine. Neither of them can be left out.

Wu Yuan (astounded): … (sympathetically looking at the embraced Wu Zhi) Things aren’t easy for you either.

Wu Zhi (numbed): …

12. How do you hope they will call you?

Wu Zhi (voice timid): Just Wu Zhi is fine…

Ye Qingling: Ye Qingling.

Wu Zhi (touches chin again): Should I say you guys are boring, or that you know too well how to have fun?

13. If you were to describe each other as an animal, what would it be?

Ye Qingling: Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi (mouth twitching): I’m not a damn species.

Wu Yuan (covering her mouth): I completely understand.

Wu Zhi: …

Wu Yuan: Zhizhi, it’s your turn.

Wu Zhi (turning his head away quietly): …A human. Ye Qingling is like a human.

Ye Qingling (chuckling quietly): Yes. I’m not a human.

Wu Yuan: … Little brother, you’re really cruel.

14. If you have to send a gift to each other, what would you choose?

Wu Zhi: I heard Yezi prepared 12 years’ worth of presents for a certain classmate.

Ye Qingling: Mhm.

Wu Yuan: What were they?

Wu Zhi: (ears perking up)

Ye Qingling: The things that Wu Zhi wanted the most back then. But for his 17th birthday, I bought what I wanted.

Wu Zhi: …What was it?

Ye Qingling (staring at Wu Zhi, suddenly laughing): You won’t want to know.

Wu Zhi: … =口=

Wu Zhi (reassuringly patting a petrified creature): Student Zhizhi, as the Boss’s target to win favor from (and drool at), shouldn’t you express how moved you are?

Wu Zhi (numbed): …Don’t you find this question very cruel to a person kept captive?

Wu Yuan (calmly): I don’t.

Wu Zhi (silent): Are we really blood-related?

15. Then, what present do you want?

Wu Zhi: (swiftly covering Ye Qingling’s mouth)

Wu Yuan (covering her mouth from laughing): We understand, we understand.

Ye Qingling: (licks Wu Zhi’s palm)

Wu Zhi (taking back his hand stiffly): …That’s enough from the two of you, oi!

Wu Yuan (coaxing a kid): Okay, okay, Yezi doesn’t have to answer. Just your answer is fine.

Ye Qingling: (softly pressing Wu Zhi’s lips)

Wu Yuan: … Oh? Now, it’s Yezi’s turn?

Ye Qingling (chuckling softly): Wu Zhi, I can give you everything, except freedom.

16. Are you unsatisfied with any aspect of your partner? Normally, what are they?

[Please refer to Question 9]

17. Your bad habits are?

Ye Qingling: I’m obstinate when it comes to Wu Zhi. This warped desire is reflected in my sexual desire, appetite and possessiveness. This is an illness.

Wu Zhi: …You’re actually self-aware?!

Ye Qingling: Mhm, but I don’t want to change.

Wu Zhi: …

Wu Zhi (indignant): I’m just too fucking soft on this guy!

18. What are your partner’s bad habits?

[Please refer to Question 17]

19. What’s something that would make you upset if they did it?

Ye Qingling (apathetically): Making an escape.

Wu Zhi: (silent, trying to minimize his presence)

Ye Qingling (apathetically): Chen Suyan. [A boy whom Wu Zhi was close friends with]

Wu Zhi: (corners of lips begin to twitch)

Ye Qingling (calmly): Lin Yu, Huang Jiaxiu, Zhang Yiwen… [Girls whom Wu Zhi was close to]

Wu Zhi: …Ye Qingling, that’s enough, hey. What are you doing being jealous like this?

Ye Qingling (pushing up his glasses): I’m only telling the truth.

Wu Yuan (breaks into laughter): Yezi, you might as well kill all the girls so that a certain someone can’t find another person to flirt with~

Ye Qingling (nodding seriously): Mhm, males under the age of 50 are within range too.

Wu Yuan (terrified): …

Wu Zhi (terrified): …

20. What would make your partner upset if you did it?

Ye Qingling: Doing it from behind.

Wu Zhi (expressionlessly looking at Ye Qingling): …

Wu Yuan (whistling): Yo~ Starting off so strongly huh. Why’s Zhizhi unhappy? I heard Yezi’s skills are very good~

Wu Zhi (gritting): …It’s practically a massacre!

Ye Qingling: …I will improve my technique.

Wu Zhi (flipping the table): That isn’t the main point, OK!

Wu Yuan (laughing, banging the table): You guys are the perfect match, the perfect match XD~~~

21. How far have you two gone?

Wu Zhi (numbed): Please look at the subject of the work, thank you.

Ye Qingling (circling around Wu Zhi with quiet laughter): I cannot leave him, so I can only make him incapable of leaving me too.

Wu Yuan (covering her eyes): …What’s going on with this sweet, but strange, dark ‘hhh’ feeling I’m getting? Have I been influenced by the fool that’s the author? …Ngh… Evil spirit, begone. Evil spirit, begone…

22. Where was your first date together?

[Please refer to Chapter 14]

23. How was the atmosphere between the two of you then?

[Please refer to Chapter 14]

24. Back then, how far did you two get?

[Please refer to Chapter 14]

25. What’s your obsession?

Ye Qingling: Observe Wu Zhi, collect everything related to Wu Zhi, write the Wu Zhi Observation Diary.

Wu Zhi (lips twitching): …

Wu Zhi (laughing, banging on the table): Wu Zhi Observation Diary… Wahahahaha!!! What’s this gleeful feeling of observing an animal— (Serious) Little brother, you’ve been so brutally watched for so many years without even having an inkling?

Wu Zhi (gritting his teeth): …What are you implying?

Wu Yuan (splaying hands): I’m just sighing at how the only thing that foolish author did right is your name~ Well, ignorance is a form of bliss too.

26. What preparations will you make for each other’s birthday?

Wu Yuan (firmly): Give him your body.

Wu Zhi: …I’m pretty sure I should be the one answering this.

Wu Yuan (side-glancing): Oh? Then you can answer.

Wu Zhi (digging his own grave): …I-I will satisfy him!

Wu Yuan (poking): Yezi, someone said he will satisfy you. (covers up her grinning mouth) Were you satisfied?

Ye Qingling: Mentally, yes. Physically… (Mouth was covered by Wu Zhi)

27. Who confessed first?

[Please refer to Chapter 7]

28. How much do you like each other?

Ye Qingling: To obtain him is my fortune, and to lose him causes my life[2].

Wu Yuan (covering her eyes): Too devoted, isn’t he… Actually, I’ve always been very curious. If the apocalypse didn’t happen, what would Yezi do?

Ye Qingling: I’ll keep watching him, until I can’t stop myself from destroying him.

Wu Zhi: …

Wu Yuan: …F-For instance?

Ye Qingling: Kidnapping. (tapping his head) Here, I’ve once laid out thousands of kidnapping stimulations… I’ve already thought through all the things I have to take note of and the methods of retreats. (lips curved into a smile) Wu Zhi will be hidden away by me, never to show up in front of others again. If I died, I wouldn’t have to wait long before Wu Zhi joins me on Naihe Bridge.

Wu Zhi: …

Wu Yuan: …

Wu Yuan (solemnly): Zhizhi, it’s so good that you’re able to accept Yezi.

Wu Zhi (similarly solemn): …I suddenly feel that things really haven’t been fucking easy for me.

29. Then, do you love each other?

Wu Zhi: …Mhm.

Ye Qingling: No, I only like him. (chuckles softly) I like him very, very much. The kind of ‘like’ where you could die.

Wu Yuan (poking Wu Zhi): Little brother, do you think the person who could “die” is himself or someone else…

Wu Zhi: … When you say “someone else”, can you not look at me with that pitying face?!

30. What words could your partner say that could make you immediately relent?

Wu Zhi: He doesn’t need to say a word. So long as he shows that weak face, I can’t do anything anymore! (flips table)

Ye Qingling: I will not object to anything Wu Zhi says.

Wu Yuan (touching chin): Exactly who has whom wrapped around his finger, this is a real question.

31. If you suspect your partner fell out of love with you, what will you do?

Wu Zhi: …

Wu Zhi: I… can’t imagine it… (gaze blank)

Wu Yuan: Actually… I can’t imagine it either…? (turns to Ye Qingling)

Ye Qingling (answers calmly): That situation won’t happen.

Wu Yuan: Huh…?

Ye Qingling (smiling pleasantly): Would you say… I should kill all of humanity? Or should I only kill the ones under 50? (Rubs against Wu Zhi) Wu Zhi, will you be interested in people above 50?

Wu Zhi (unable to answer from the completely chaotic mind): …

Ye Qingling: Oh, then I’ll start from under 60.

Wu Zhi: …W-Wait, oi!

32. Can you forgive your partner for falling out of love?

Wu Zhi: (still gripping Ye Qingling’s hands, not daring to let go) …Hurry and skip to the next question!!!!

33. What will you do if your partner is over an hour late for your date?

Wu Zhi (firmly): That’s impossible.

Wu Yuan: Oh~ So confident?

Wu Zhi (indignantly): Because he has never let me outside alone before.

Ye Qingling: (reassuringly stroking him)

34. What part of your partner’s body do you like the most?

[Please refer to Question 8]

35. What’s your partner’s sexy expression?

Ye Qingling: A wicked grin.

Wu Yuan (hands cupping her face as she looks at Wu Zhi): Come, young master, give this girl a grin~

Wu Zhi (expressionless): …Are you sure? You’re sure you want to see my “sexy” expression here…?

Ye Qingling: (narrowing his eyes)

Wu Yuan: …Alright, young man, you won!

36. When the two of you are together, what makes your heart beat the fastest?

Ye Qingling: It has always done that.

Wu Yuan (touches chin): Yezi had a weak heart before. Zhizhi, you’re too sinful. You’ve always been killing your husband in the past~

Wu Zhi (veins popping out): …Is that my fault? I barely met Ye Qingling in the past.

Wu Yuan (smiling): That’s because there was an endless loop where Yezi had repeatedly gone to see you after being discharged from the hospital, had his heartbeat lose control upon seeing you, and was re-hospitalized for relapsing.

Ye Qingling: …

Wu Zhi (looking at Ye Qingling in astonishment): …W-Why aren’t you denying it =口= ?!

37. Will you lie to each other? Are you good at lying?

Wu Zhi: Ye Qingling won’t lie to me, but he will hide things, fuck!

Wu Yuan (patting his shoulder reassuringly): Your partner is the big boss, so just resign to your fate.

Ye Qingling: Wu Zhi has never lied to me before.

Wu Zhi: …Why do I feel like you find it very regretful?

Ye Qingling: I have one fewer excuse.

Wu Zhi (silent, before he flips the table): …What excuse? Explain it to me properly!

Wu Yuan (covering smile with her hand): Clearly, it’s an excuse to “pour love” on you~ young man.

38. Your wish is?

Ye Qingling: I have no wish.

Wu Yuan: Hm?

Ye Qingling (quiet laughter): Because my wish has already been fulfilled.

Wu Yuan (covering her eyes): …That’s too angsty.

Wu Zhi: I want a time machine.

Wu Yuan: Then? (covering her grin) Do you want to go back in time to break up the CP, break up the CP or break up the CP~?

Wu Zhi (veins popping): I’m going back in time to stock up on food and weapons to rule the world after the virus outbreak. What. About. It?

Wu Yuan (covering her eyes): …This is even more angsty.

39. Do you two fight often?

Wu Zhi (worn out): We don’t fight.

Wu Yuan (smiling): Because Yezi is the type to take “action” first.

Wu Zhi: …Stop making such pointless imaginations!

Wu Yuan (smiling): Because the boss wouldn’t fight with a lesser creature. That will only degrade themselves.

Wu Zhi: …Stop making pointless footnotes!

Wu Yuan (smiling): Because he’s spoiling you.

Wu Zhi: …

Ye Qingling (shaking his head): Wu Zhi will give in to me. (mutter) No matter what I’m given, I always want more than that.

Ye Qingling (chuckling quietly): I’m the one being spoiled.

40. What kind of fights were they?

[Please refer to Question 39]

41. How do you make up with each other?

[Please refer to Question 39]

42. Do you still want to be each other’s lover in your next life?

Ye Qingling: It’s enough if I just have Wu Zhi in this lifetime.

Wu Zhi (lazily leaning on Ye Qingling): Ye Qingling, you’re so greedy.

Ye Qingling (lightly chuckling): Am I.

Wu Zhi: Looking at the length of time, your one lifetime might even exceed another person’s ten lifetimes…

Ye Qingling: (embraces Wu Zhi tightly in silence)

Wu Yuan (smiling): But if we just look at the number, Yezi will only have you for one lifetime, little brother.

43. Will you permit each other to act romantically to others?

Wu Yuan: …

Wu Zhi: …

Wu Yuan (gravely): Zhizhi… Why aren’t you looking back…

Wu Zhi (stiffly): …I still don’t want to bid goodbye to this world.

Ye Qingling (laughing quietly): Wu Zhi, I won’t harm you.

Wu Zhi (still not looking back, stiffened): …Nothing will happen to me, but that’s not the case for this world aahhh—

44. How would you feel when you hear that he’s been wounded?

Wu Zhi (flipping the table): This question is even more dangerous than the previous, fuck—

Wu Yuan (gravely): In order to prevent the world’s destruction and to preserve the world’s harmony, we will skip this question.

45. What will make you think ‘he doesn’t love me anymore’?

Wu Zhi (numbed): When the world is annihilated.

Wu Yuan (poking): What a truly terrifying but sad confidence.

Ye Qingling (softly): I do not mind.

Wu Zhi (peering at Ye Qingling): Because you won’t let go, is that right.

Ye Qingling (affectionately pressing against Wu Zhi’s face): If there’s any existence that takes away your attention, I’ll simply destroy them.

Wu Yuan: …little brother, let me say a few words after all.

Wu Zhi: …?

Wu Yuan (solemnly): An insignificant sacrifice, to exchange for the greater good.

Wu Zhi: …Get out.

46. What flower do you think best suits each other?

Wu Zhi (befuddled): …flower?

Wu Yuan (painfully): Student Zhizhi, as far as your knowledge goes, the only distinctions for plants are flowers, grasses, and trees, right?

Wu Zhi: (silent)

Ye Qingling: It’s true.

Wu Yuan (covering her eyes): …Yezi, could you please stop dishonoring your IQ that’s over 200? It’s enough to have one idiot who lowered the average human intelligence, hey.

Wu Zhi (flipping the table): Get the hell out. Be quick!

47. Have you hidden anything from each other?

Wu Zhi: …Yes.

Ye Qingling: (silently watches Wu Zhi)

Wu Zhi (gritting his teeth at Wu Yuan): …Why don’t you try to make a more obvious “this person is asking to die” expression?!

Wu Yuan (resting her chin on her hands, looking at Wu Zhi): Oh? Your eyes must have seen it wrong. Come, come~ Tell your sister what Zhizhi’s little secret is~

Wu Zhi: (mouth twitches)

Wu Yuan (covering her grin): When this is over, we can look deeper into the issue in our sibling relationship. At that time, you better tell me~ (looks at Ye Qingling) What about Yezi?

Ye Qingling: Whatever Wu Zhi wants to know, I will tell him.

Wu Yuan (splays her hands): Is this the legendary “—Why didn’t you tell me? —Oh, because you didn’t ask” conversation? This is the highest level of withholding information~ And the opponent is the author’s terrible chosen consort[3], Student “Ignorant”. Yezi, GJ! (hides laughter with a hand)

Wu Zhi: …Even if he hides information, he has ways not to let me know too!

Wu Yuan (chinhands): For example~?

Wu Zhi (turning to Ye Qingling): …What do you want to do the most now?

Ye Qingling (staring fixedly at Wu Zhi, chuckling softly): Are you certain you want to know? Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi (turning his head silently): …See.

Wu Yuan (turning her head away in unison): …T-Too terrifying, his aura here…

48. Where does your low self-esteem come from?

Wu Zhi: From being kept in captivity like trash.

Wu Yuan (smiling): You were a good-for-nothing from the start.

Wu Zhi (veins popping out): …Although it’s the truth, why does it sound hella off-putting when it comes from your mouth?

Ye Qingling: I cannot be without Wu Zhi. But Wu Zhi can be without me.

Wu Zhi: …This is a form of low self-esteem?

Ye Qingling (circling around Wu Zhi hard): Mhm.

Wu Yuan (smiling): Yezi has always been the one who’s begging for your feelings, little brother.

Wu Zhi (turning back miserably): I-I never said his feelings aren’t mutual.

Ye Qingling (kissing Wu Zhi’s earlobe softly): Will you help me remove my low self-esteem?

Wu Zhi: (nods silently)

Ye Qingling (chuckling softly): So, let me keep you in captivity, (softly and sweetly) and turn you into a good-for-nothing so that you can’t be without me.

49. Is the two’s relationship publicly known or in secret?

Wu Zhi: Even if I want to make it public, is there someone I can make it known to?

Wu Yuan: Then, let’s just suppose a situation when everyone was still around.

Wu Zhi (contemplating, and covering his face silently): …It’s too bloody.

Wu Yuan: …Although I know what you mean, as the cannon fodder sister who’d be offed by Yezi for the opposition that she absolutely should have regarding her brother walking on the diverging road of being gay, I still feel very unhappy.

Ye Qingling: (looks at Wu Yuan thoughtfully)

Wu Yuan (solemnly): …Little brother, hurry and protect me.

50. Do you think your partner’s love can last to eternity?

Wu Zhi: …I don’t have the power to decide this.

Wu Yuan (hiding her laughter with a hand): I understand. A pet doesn’t have any independence.

Wu Zhi: …Pet, my ass!

Ye Qingling: Until my death…

Wu Yuan: And that would be the “eternity” that they mean~

Ye Qingling (chuckling softly before he continues): …I still won’t let go.

Wu Yuan: … (pokes) Zhizhi, Yezi said that he won’t let you off even if he dies.

Wu Zhi: …You can’t scare me!

A/N:

This extra is to heal you girls XD

Translator Note:

[1] 无志 (without ambition) is a homonym for Wu Zhi’s name (吴志) too.

[2] 得之我幸,失之我命 normally means “obtaining it is my fortune, losing it is only part of my destiny”, which implies that obtaining the item did not matter, and one shouldn’t take a loss too hard. However, the translator found this rather OOC, given how possessive Ye Qingling’s character is like, so it seemed more likely that it was a play on the words, where 命 could mean both destiny and life.

[3] Translator is not entirely certain about this but 钦点 literally refers to someone chosen by the Emperor.
