The Most Beautiful You in the World

Episode 1

English subtitles: translation & timing by aphellion (@ap_hellion)

I opened this mountain, I planted this tree.

[tn. meaning they have to pay to use the road]

Hey! You're just running away?

At least fight me!

Huan Huan...

So close...

I was so close to being able to see Young Master Yu Bai.

What Young Master?

Don't worry about some young master. Quick look at this Weibo post.

I've looked.

Yu Huan, get out of bed. Get out of bed quick.

Read it.

"In chaotic times, you and I are in love."

Can't you see the title?

"Empress Chang Huan"

There's an audio drama coming out soon. Work on it with Sheng Sheng Man.

My Empress Chang Huan finally has an audio drama.

I don't have to make it for myself anymore, Huan Huan.

Congratulations.

Promise me,

you must take the role of Shen Chang Huan, ok?

I'm Yu Huan, I'm a Senior, about to graduate.

Before telling our story, I have to give everyone an introduction

to the circle I'm most passionate about.

It's called the CV circle.

CV is an abbreviation of "character voice".

Of course, it also has a name that everyone is familiar with:

"sound actor".

IRL, we generally call dubbing actors CV.

Actually it's not very strict.

We love dubbing.

We use the voice to draw the outlines of the image and convey emotions.

If that's still not too clear for you,

take for example the words "Your Highness, don't do this!!"

Using a lolita voice, they sound like this:

"Your Highness, don't do this!!"

Using a 'royal sister' voice, they sound like this:

"Your Highness, don't do this!!"

Using a Young Master's voice, they sound like:

"Your Highness, don't do this!!"

And using a King's voice, like this:

"Your Highness, don't do this!!"

Does this give you a rough idea?

Oh, right.

I also have an idol, called Young Master Yu Bai.

He's a god in our CV circle.

But that's just his name online, I've never seen what he really looks like.

This is our group, a group that lives solely in the world of sound.

But we're people who carry a big castle within our hearts. [tn. like a world full of stories/people]

This is the last summer vacation of my college career.

Term time is still far away, I want to enjoy my vacation life.

Hurry, hurry. We'll miss it. We're going to be late.

You said you had a interview, just go. Why do you alway drag me along?

Lord Huan, it's the tail end of summer vacation.

Go out and live a little.

Besides, do you have the heart to see such a weak woman like me

carrying such heavy camera equipment, running under the sun?

Alright, I see. It's that you're not brave enough to interview alone, isn't it?

You've been interning all summer, and you can't do it?

Rome wasn't built in a day,

and you didn't become so good at dubbing immediately after starting.

Besides...

this is the first task Teacher Yan's given me,

having you there will make me feel more at ease.

Alright! You smooth talker.

Let's go, let's go.

I knew our Huan Huan was the best one for me.

Words aren't enough, it has to be practical.

Today, all your meals are on me!

Deal.

Give me the link to where you got your lipstick.

It's really good, look at the color-

Breakfast.

-and that eyeshadow.

You have an interview but you're here reading stories?

Haven't you read it before already?

When I go in for the interview, you read over Shen Chang Huan's lines out here

and prepare for being Shen Chang Huan.

I won't read it.

You forget, you forced me to read it once last year.

Besides, I haven't decided yet if I want to take Shen Chang Huan or not.

Hurry and get on with your interview.

What time are they coming? Didn't you agree to 10am?

It's 10:20.

I just got a message, it'll be 10:30 at the latest.

Acting like they're so important.

He's the most handsome guy in school, it's fine to act a little important.

Particularly for such a god-level guy.

That he promised to interview is good.

I heard from Teacher Yan that actually, in person, he's extremely low profile

so he's never agreed before.

Low profile?

Pretty similar to me.

How is that similar to you?

Our college's idol Qiao doesn't compliment others to praise himself.

- What are you looking at? - Quick, quick!

Since when did our school have that kind of quality?

Unexpected.

He's even pretty good from behind.

More than good, he's absolutely-

You ungrateful brat! You've no loyalty!

Even cute guys can be...low quality.

Are there enough around to be fussy?

I'm all about quality.

Damn it!

What's he doing? He- He- He heard us talking.

You're Lord Huan, you're afraid of no one.

Auntie.

Xiao Qiao, you're back.

Xiao Qiao, you just moved to OCT last month, and now you've moved here.

- You're not...? - I'm not.

If you're not moving again, then why are you moving things around?

Auntie, don't worry.

I'm not avoiding anyone, I'm looking for someone.

Huan Huan. Where are you?

Maybe you've long since left this city.

Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao?

Auntie. By the way, Auntie.

Do we have a fish merchant nearby?

There's a supermarket over there. If you want something to eat, I'll go buy it.

No need. I'll go myself.

I'll stop by on my way.

Alright.

So close.

What's wrong?

Today was really, absolutely my fault.

I'll make it up to you, for sure.

It's fine, it's really no problem. There's no need.

T-Then why don't we go f-for a meal?

It's ok. I have to go back to the company in a while.

Ok.

Then...Then if you need anything in future, don't hesitate to contact me.

If I can help, I definately will.

Thank you.

Contact me if you need anything. I'm going.

- Goodbye. - Bye bye.

What happened?

Don't ask.

Qiao Yi Bai's arrogance really is extraordinary.

But he didn't look arrogant just now.

What kind of god-level school idol is so melodramatic?

Although he's not as good-looking as that cute guy on the bicycle.

What god-level idol?

He wasn't Qiao Yi Bai.

Don't-

Don't you even know what Qiao Yi Bai looks like?

He wasn't Qiao Yi Bai?

Of course he wasn't. Who is Qiao Yi Bai?

Qiao Yi Bai is-

Is the divine heart-throb of our college.

Girl's gather around him

buzzing around him -buzz buzz- like little bees gathering honey.

You're said it 800 times.

Are you going to let me meet him in person?

He didn't come.

Didn't come? Then the guy just now-

The guy just now's called Su Ao.

He's Qiao Yi Bai's good friend.

That Su Ao promised Qiao Yi Bai would do the interview without his permission.

But Qiao Yi Bai didn't appreciate it and said so,

said he wouldn't come and he didn't.

Isn't it just Qiao Yi Bai?

You wait, one day I'll make him come asking to do an interview for you.

I knew our Huan Huan was the best one for me.

No way will I fall for that again.

So what are you going to do about Teacher Yan?

Don't worry.

Teacher Yan tried several times to arrange an interview but couldn't.

This is only my first time, it's only natural that I failed.

However... I still have to go back and report it.

Huan Huan, you'll have to sort out lunch for yourself.

I have to go back first.

Alright. It's no problem.

Don't be unhappy.

Smile.

Really ugly.

I really want sweet and sour fish...

If only you could fry yourselves.

Excuse me, I'll have a fish.

Right, lazy with a dash of charm.

Serious and outright intimidating.

Lord Huan is Shen Chang Huan, the original Huan.

You know, when I was reading the book, my head was filled with Lord Huan's royal sister voice.

If Lord Huan really does dub Shen Chang Huan then my life will be complete!

Shen Chang Huan fights up and down the land, killing and attacking decisively.

Xiang Jian Huan is full of cold, domineering elegance.

I can't help wanting to fall to my knees.

Can you pay for my ruined knees!

Not only that, but if Xiang Jian Huan plays Shen Chang Huan,

they both have 'Huan' in their name!

Surely that means it's God's will?

If Lord Huan really does dub Emperor Huan

I'll copy "Empress Chang Huan" out by hand!

Previous post, say whether you mean the whole book or just the title.

I've been exposed. I don't care.

In my heart, Shen Chang Huan is played by Xiang Jian Huan.

Huan Huan, [Li Yi Ren (Cha Se)]

about the Shen Chang Huan role, are you interested?

Senior, [Yu Huan (Xiang Jian Huan)]

aren't you being too straightforward? You don't beat around the bush.

With you there's no need for that kind of thing.

So, are you interested?

Perhaps you can look over the "Empress Chang Huan" novel first?

It's set in a turbulant fictional world where men and women are equal.

It tells the story of the obstacles the heroine Shen Chang Huan overcomes to establish an army

and her conflict, secret struggles and mutual attraction with the hero, Qin Xiu.

Step by step she calms the chaos, finally becoming the Empress and finding love.

In recent years, it's been the most popular novel for women.

There are a load of fan works online.

If you're interested, you can take a look.

I know the book, Miao Miao is a die-hard fan.

I almost thought it was an audio novel as she read it to me.

So then... How do you feel about Shen Chang Huan?

She's intelligent and decisive, dares to both love and hate.

Astute and courageous,

truly a woman who's a match for any man.

So you're saying...you're interested?

Senior, to be honest, I'm struggling.

The interest is there, but I'm afraid I don't have the energy.

I'm going to be a senior. Internship and graduation are going to take up all my time.

Suppose Young Master Yu Bai were playing Qin Xiu,

would that change your mind?

Young Master Yu Bai, Di Lin Guild's Young Master Yu Bai?

Who else? How many Yu Bai's are there in the CV circle?

Well? If you don't believe me, go to Jianghu Channel.

The channel's already blown up.

In the ancient-style dubbing circle, there are many groups.

But among the most influential are

Sheng Sheng Man headed up by Cha Se [Sheng Sheng Man]

and the Di Lin Guild, lead by Su Jiu Ao. [Di Lin Guild] [Sheng Sheng Man]

[Di Lin Guild] [Sheng Sheng Man]

Both guilds have contributed many high-quality audio dramas to the "ancient" dubbing circle.

But this time the audio drama of the popular "Empress Chang Huan"

has attracted the interest of all the 'ancient' dubbing groups.

[Cha Se]

Every guild has put forward their best CV [Xiang Jian Huan][Young Master Yu Bai][Su Jiu Ao]

to compete for the lead roles in the audio drama. [Best]

They arranged to meet up on the public channel "Jianghu Tea House" to discuss it.

At the beginning, Qin Xiu is the Empress's pet, he's graceful, charming, seductive,

but Young Master Yu Bai isn't casually friendly.

I think Xie Li Xie Qi is more suitable.

Xie Li Xie Qi, isn't he too seductive?

It can't be helped. Now they're selecting for Qin Xiu,

he and Young Master Yu Bai are the top names.

It's not like Shen Chang Huan, which is tailor-made for you.

Although Qin Xiu is the Empress's pet,

he's good-natured, calm and composed.

It was this that gradually impressed the Empress.

You haven't read the book enough but still rushed here to fool around for fun.

Why don't you go read the book a few more times?

You're the one who should read it.

If you can find someone in our whole circle more suitable than Xie Li Xie Qi

I'll take this table and mail it to you!

You're ignoring the main point.

The part where he's the Empress's pet isn't long.

His revenge is what takes up most of the most action.

So Qin Xiu must be none other than Master Yu.

- I don't agree. - Don't waste your breath arguing with them.

I think they've just got sour grapes.

- You're the ones who are green with envy- - What should we do? This...

- a clown- - I'm going in.

Don't argue!

Master Jiu, you've finally arrived.

They're really taking it too far.

You should help us by giving an impartial opinion.

Yeah.

- Lord Jiu. - That's right, Lord Jiu.

You're the leader of Di Lin Guild, Yu Bai's your star actor.

You'll just protect your own,

how's that fair?

- Exactly. - Yeah, how's that fair?

There's no need to attack me,

Yu Bai always stands up for himself.

Our Di Lin Guild doesn't take advantage of our position.

Since everyone's at a deadlock,

we'll just use the most fair and impartial method to settle the dispute.

What method?

Yeah, what method?

A vote.

A vote?

Done!

"My good friend, you say to me there is a pain in your heart."

[tn. a lyric from a song about always being there for your friends]

Hello?

My friend!

Are you aware, I just solved a big problem for you?

Oh.

Huh?

Don't you have anything you want to say to me?

Thanks.

You're just going to say 'thanks' so easily? You didn't even ask what it was I did.

You wait. It's like this.

Your fans and Xie Li Xie Qi's fans were deadlocked arguing who was better to play Qin Xiu.

Xie Li Xie Qi's fans think he's the best,

your fans think your blend of yin-yang mean you can be both passive and aggressive.

Just when the two of them were about to come to blows

I stepped in and expertly resolved the situation.

Then I made a vote on Weibo as the most fair and impartial way

of deciding which of the two of you should get the role of Qin Xiu.

Pay more attention, I know you love the part of Qin Xiu.

Hm.

Is there something else?

Of course there is!

Boy, are you that ungrateful?

Normally, when you make arrangements, when do I ever refuse you?

Couldn't you just have done this for me this one time?

I-

At first I thought that if I hung on to the end, you'd agree.

I didn't think you'd actually go back and hide in your nest.

I didn't set out to do it, but I got that young woman's hopes up for nothing!

Then... I'm sorry.

Qiao Yi Bai!

[Empress Chang Huan, Audio Drama]

[Li Yi Ren (Cha Se)] Huan Huan, I'm so happy you agreed to play Shen Chang Huan.

Although I know it's mainly for Yu Bai.

It's not set yet.

What about Yu Bai, is he Qin Xiu?

Why didn't they make a vote for Shen Chang Huan too?

I don't get to have a sense of achievement for winning.

Who made everyone agree unanimously?

You're the best choice for Shen Chang Huan.

Isn't that the greatest achievement?

That's true.

In the history of our guild, "Empress Chang Huan" is the biggest thing we've participated in

and it's in collaboration with Di Lin Guild.

Huan Huan, you have to represent us well.

Got it, senior.

I've told you a thousand times, you must make the agreement with Qiao Yi Bai.

Good for you. Not only did you not get the interiew,

you came back to report you didn't

Didn't you say that no one's ever interviewed Qiao Yi Bai?

Didn't you tell me you'd already arranged it?

I had an agreement with his good friend.

What's the use of making an agreement with his friend?

No matter how good a friend it is, unless it's with him himself

it doesn't count.

But...Why does it have to be Qiao Yi Bai?

Our school has many people worthy of going in the excellent students section.

How are they the same?

I have my reasons for making you interview him.

Basically, you do whatever you have to to get him to accept your interview.

Go on.

- Guard him! - Pass!

Pass it!

It hit someone, are they ok?

Student, are you ok?

- No. - Then I'll take you to the school infirmary.

There's no need. Thank you.

Then do you want to try standing up?

See? As I said, let's hurry and go to the infirmary.

Be careful.

Careful.

You're leg's hurt... Let me give you a ride.

Ok.

Miss, slow down, be careful.

Careful, careful.

Slowly, take care.

Mind your foot.

Miao?

- Huan Huan. - What happened to your foot?

Who are you?

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

You did it?

Huan Huan!

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

Don't apologize, it's really ok.

I'm sorry for troubling you like this.

Thanks for bringing me back. You can go home.

I should...I should.

Then I'm going.

If you have any trouble, remember to call me. I'll take full responsibility.

- Take care. - Bye bye!

He's gone.

How did you do this?

So you met by chance thanks to a basketball game?

Why are you blushing?

Who's blushing?

Oh right, Miao. Let me ask you something.

Lord Huan's asking me for help?

Didn't I take on dubbing Shen Chang Huan?

You agreed to dub Shen Chang Huan?

You really accepted it?

Tell me, what is it?

Don't you have many alt accounts on Weibo?

Help me cast votes.

Vote?

For who?

Miao Miao!

Miao, I'm going to work with Young Master Yu Bai.

I'm finally going to work with my idol!

I'm so happy!

Congratulations.

Half the credit's yours.

What do you want to eat? I'll treat you.

At the moment, I just want to sleep.

Then I'll sleep with you.

Huan Huan.

Hm?

Are you sure you don't need to go to the Guild and take a look?

Maybe you can meet Young Master Yu Bai?

You're right.

- [Cha Se] Come to the Empress's camp. - [Xiang Jian Huan] Ok.

Young Master Yu Bai, just sing one.

Sorry, I can't sing.

Aiya. Sing, sing.

It's so hard to meet you, don't let me down.

Ok?

Please, Yu Bai. Just sing one?

- Even his voice is so pleasant to listen to. - Please...

How good-looking must he be?

Ok? Just sing one song.

Sing one.

Master Yu, pleased to meet you.

- I'm Xiang Jian Huan. - Hn.

If you don't want to sing Qingmei Fox, you can do Wei Feng Tang Tang.

Just sing one. I've liked you for so many years.

Don't let me down, ok?

Just sing one song, ok?

Yu Bai. I'm begging you, Yu Bai.

- What's going on? - That's our guild's new recruit, responsible for promotion.

As soon as she entered she ran over to chat with Yu Bai, but he doesn't want to acknowledge her.

A large group of people's watching her acting up, but she still keeps going.

Senior, you're not a good judge of character.

[Cha Se] I can't help it. What should I do, Huan Huan?

Don't let me down.

Wei Feng Tang Tang.

[searching for Wei Feng Tang Tang]

Oh! The girl's gone.

That girl of ours isn't smart,

so she's been given a time out. Forgive me.

Lord Huan is powerful, worthy of her name.

It's nothing, as long as Master Yu doesn't mind.

Master Yu, our guild isn't well educated. I'm truly sorry, please forgive us.

Ah, sister Huan, don't take offense.

This is just how Yu Bai is.

Going AFK... It's a frequent thing.

I'll talk to him later.

It's fine. Beautiful people are all unattainable.

It's ok. Beautiful people are all unattainable.

Xiang Jian Huan.

Her name... it has the word 'Huan' in it too.

[End of Episode 1] [There's still another scene]

English subtitles: translation & timing by aphellion (@ap_hellion)

After this summer is over, I'll be a senior.

This is the last year of my college life.

I hope it'll also be the best year.

I want to keep a record of the best part of my life to date.

So, friends - are you ready?

This is the chapter on youth in the story of my life.
