Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 225 - 221: Female Pope

Wang Jian looked at the two remaining names on the paper and was struck by indecision.

The two women, in some sense, were both quite suitable.

Queen Anne of England was known as one of the most famous lesbians in history.

Although a queen, she was under the control of her two female lovers.

And these two lovers, because of their husbands, aligned with the predecessors of Britain’s Liberal Party and the Conservative Party—the Whig Party and the Tory Party respectively.

So, British politics at the time, because of this extraordinary love triangle, kept making bewildering political decisions.

At that time, Britain was still part of the "Sun Never Sets" Empire and was also at war with France, Europe’s representative.

Thus, this affair, in a sense, profoundly altered the world’s political landscape at the time and had a long-lasting impact on the rise of many famous figures in history.

The other woman, Jon, did not have such a profound influence on the world.

Even her existence remained a matter of historical debate.

The first public mention of Jon’s name and deeds was likely in Giovanni Boccaccio’s "Decameron."

Although many pieces of evidence later surfaced supporting the existence of this woman.

But even today, the Vatican continues to deny it.

You see, they have even acknowledged Darwin’s "theory of evolution" and the crimes of the Inquisition.

So, what could be more destabilizing to the Church’s foundations than these two matters?

Wang Jian flipped through the materials, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.

In Medieval Europe, when the Church reigned supreme, women had neither the right to education nor inheritance.

Infant girls were even drowned at birth, an act deemed permissible by the doctrine.

Yet under such circumstances, this woman named Jon ascended to the Papal throne.

Her legend could easily overshadow all other great women.

"Anne or Jon?" Wang Jian’s fingers tapped continuously on the table.

But suddenly, a newspaper appeared before him.

"First Lady Hillary calls on women to participate more in politics.

Only then can women’s status be improved."

Wang Jian picked up the newspaper and began to read.

He found that this call to action seemed to be very effective.

In major cities across the United States, many feminists took to the streets in response to First Lady Hillary’s proposal.

Even a few days later, a women’s rights rally was scheduled at Time Square in New York.

And even Great Commander Clinton...

Uh, that’s not right.

It should be First Lady Hillary, who would appear at the rally with her husband Clinton.

"Clinton’s female vote is already much higher than his opponents," Wang Jian recalled some political trivia he had heard and shook his head helplessly.

"For votes, flattering women to such an extent, truly a characteristic of someone who can become Great Commander," he said with a hint of disdain.

But soon, Wang Jian’s tapping stopped.

Perhaps, this was a hot topic?

If Queen Anne’s story leaned more toward harem intrigue,

Then Female Pope Jon was every feminist’s favorite!

"Actually..." Wang Jian lifted his coffee and slowly sipped, "women’s rights have always been compromised."

"As a public figure, I should set an example."

"Ah, Mr. Clinton, you’ve done very well!"

Wang Jian carelessly tossed Queen Anne’s materials aside.

He intently reviewed Jon’s information, comparing it in his mind with "Empresses in the Palace."

He found that merely writing about scheming would not allow this woman to achieve the Papal seat.

"The story logic has bugs, what should be done?" Wang Jian again began frantically searching for information in his mind.

Soon, he noticed a DVD nearby.

Princess Consort, Female Pope...

After a moment, Wang Jian picked up his pen and began to scribble.

"Miss Jon, you wouldn’t mind cross-dressing for a bit, would you?"

Soon, the computer in the study was turned on.

Wang Jian’s fingers began to tap on the keyboard again.

However, this time, he wrote more slowly.

Because this was not simply copying, but rather combining two stories set in ancient China,

and then setting them in Medieval Europe.

Following the "novice writing guide," Wang Jian defined Jon’s original family as one whose parents were both fervent religious fanatics and middle-class.

Of course, the middle-class in the Middle Ages was barely getting by with enough to eat.

He also gave Jon a loving older brother, to spare her from excessive torment.

This brother was handsome and treated his sister very well.

He was an early Golden Finger.

Of course, to provide a contrasting character, adding a dimwitted younger brother was necessary too.

So, as devout believers, the parents decided to educate the brothers so they could become priests one day to escape their poor fate.

And Jon could only work hard to support the education of her brothers.

The older brother adored his sister and noticed her interest in learning.

He started to teach her the basics of religious knowledge in his spare time.

Once Jon had learned enough, Wang Jian arranged for the older brother to die.

And what reason to use?

He pondered for a moment and wrote "Black Death."

This would help introduce the next Golden Finger.

After all, major pandemics require the presence of priests to handle them.

Once the priests had dealt with the Black Death, they began to test the students on their religious knowledge.

And then came the first pleasant shock.

Jon, being a woman, outperformed all the male students.

The priest was astonished by Jon and wrote her a letter of recommendation for a higher-level Church School.

"This is where we need to torture the main character a bit," murmured Wang Jian, resuming his typing.

Consequently, Jon’s parents renamed the younger brother Jon and sent him to school in her place.

"Fuck," thought Wang Jian, "it’s really awkward to write this kind of story as a man." He decided not to degrade the image of men too much.

He portrayed the younger brother as a boy uninterested in studying, who secretly handed over the letter of recommendation to Jon.

"But what should be the pleasant shock at the Church School?" Wang Jian furrowed his brow and talked to himself.

"You can’t just arrange another tournament, can you?"

"Right, we need to show the heroine’s sense of duty and responsibility."

So, the first priest intervened.

He brought both the younger brother and Jon into the school to start their education.

At school, Jon, being the only female student, faced discrimination.

Yet, she managed to turn every peril into safety with her solid professional knowledge and gained everyone’s respect.

"Such pleasant shocks are still not enough," said Wang Jian, typing away.

The younger brother also faced discrimination due to his family circumstances.

"This is my brother, what the hell do you want from him?"

Jon faced down the children of the High Priests, vowing to protect her brother. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Indeed, women, compared to men, need more recognition from their families."

The younger brother looked at his sister, "Thank you, Jon. I’m really sorry for what I did when I was little."

"If this were a story aimed at men, this brother should have lost subscribers for surviving," Wang Jian stopped his typing fingers and whispered.

"Not being adept at women’s stories, I’ll wait and see how the readers respond."
