Jing Xi stared at Yan Wan with a serious expression, her expression so solemn that Yan Wan, who was drinking tea on the table, realized the seriousness of the matter and sat up abruptly.

"Jingxi, what's wrong? Why are you so serious? What's the reason?" This was the first time Yan Wan had seen Jingxi so formal since she met her.

"Wan'er, I feel very strange, as if there is an invisible hand pushing the trajectory of my life from behind. My intuition has never been wrong." Jing Xi said calmly.

However, these words stirred up a storm in Yan Wan's heart.

What's the meaning?

Has the female protagonist awakened her self-awareness?

That's impossible! Jing Xi never realized the power of the plot in the book, right?

How come now...

Looking at the silent Yan Wan in front of her, Jing Xi became even more certain of her intuition.

"Wan'er, did you feel it too? Or rather, do you know something, right? It's not just a precognitive dream, is it?" Jing Xi asked tentatively, because she always felt that Yan Wan knew something. After all, it was really suspicious that she suddenly appeared at the Yan residence to ask to befriend her.

“Jingxi, your feeling is right, but right now I’m only relying on precognitive dreams,” Yan Wan sighed and said.

The female protagonist, the Crown Prince, and the Prince of Han are adversaries in the book, and she is about to marry the Prince of Han. If the power of the plot cannot be changed, she may end up with the same opposing ending as in the book due to the influence of the plot.

If you don't have any trump cards, how will you compete with the plot, or with the protagonist's halo?

I'm sorry, Jingxi. I hope we won't become adversaries.

“Wan’er, I understand you, and I know your worries. If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t. If it were me, I might make the same choice.” Jing Xi stared at Yan Wan’s face and said, word by word.

It seems that Jing Xi has realized she wasn't telling the truth!

The female lead is always very intelligent, both in and out of the book.

Hearing Jing Xi's words, Yan Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer needed to make up stories to deceive Jing Xi. One lie requires a hundred lies to cover it up, and besides, she really didn't want to deceive Jing Xi anymore.

“Jingxi, thank you for understanding me. I did hide something, but please believe me, I have no bad intentions. I won’t hurt you or anyone else,” Yan Wan explained.

“I believe you, Wan’er. I know you have your reasons. Do you remember when we first met? You said you came for one person and didn’t care about anyone else. So I know you won’t hurt me or anyone else,” Jing Xi said frankly.

"Thank you, Jingxi. If possible, I hope we don't..."

To become enemies.

Yan Wan's words came to an abrupt halt. What happened? Why couldn't she say what she wanted to say?

It seems the power of the plot has already discovered this bug in itself.

"Jingxi, how did you figure it out?" Yan Wan asked tentatively.

"Emm... he's the Crown Prince."

"The Crown Prince? What happened to the Crown Prince?"

“At first, I thought the probability of running into him was too high, so I assumed that the Crown Prince was following me. Later, I started to investigate to see what his purpose was. But coincidentally, I found that he was not following me, but just happened to be right next to me each time he appeared to handle some business.”

"If this were anyone else, people would have to say they were a match made in heaven," Jing Xi said sarcastically.

"The capital of Yin has a large population, so it is indeed possible to encounter each other, but I can't think of any other reason for such a high frequency of encounters except for being followed and stalked."

"The key point is that he is the crown prince. How could he possibly follow a woman around? And according to my investigation, there were indeed some uncontrollable factors every time he appeared around me."

"Then it's easy to deduce that it was someone, or something that wasn't human, that pushed me to meet the Crown Prince."

After Jing Xi finished speaking logically and with evidence, she hurriedly picked up her water glass and took a sip. She was so thirsty after talking so much.

Upon hearing what Jing Xi said, Yan Wan thought to herself, "Jing Xi is simply too calm and too smart."

If it were any other woman, she would probably be overjoyed to have a chance encounter with the Crown Prince every now and then. But Jing Xi was not happy at all. Instead, she saw the truth in the seemingly illogical details.

"Jingxi, you're so smart. Don't you think there's some kind of destiny between you and the Crown Prince?" Yan Wan tried to give Jingxi a hint, to make her realize the connection between her and the Crown Prince.

Or rather, make her realize that she is the female lead and the crown prince is the male lead.

Their relationship was a predestined one, bestowed upon them by the author's own mother.

"Wan'er, the Crown Prince will inevitably become the Emperor, with countless wives and concubines, and I am just one of them. What I want is a relationship with one person for life. So it is impossible for us to be together," Jing Xi said soberly.

Yes, Jingxi is free. If she were confined to the palace to spend the rest of her life, fighting over a man, she would definitely go crazy.

Every woman should live for herself, not for others.

"Jingxi, you are really, really clear-headed, very rational, and very capable," Yan Wan said with heartfelt admiration.

No wonder the original book ended abruptly after the Crown Prince and Jing Xi's wedding, without any description of their married life. Was Jing Xi happy after marrying the Crown Prince in the book?

Jing Xi was not wrong, nor was the Crown Prince; the problem lay in their mindset, in the timing, and in the era. The clash between polygamy and monogamy, the conflict between freedom and confinement, inevitably resulted in one side winning and the other compromising.

But can such love last?

"Wan'er, thank you for your praise! We came to this era from the same time, and only you can understand what I'm saying. To people of this era, my words are too shocking." Jing Xi gave a bitter smile.

“Jingxi, you’re not wrong. The mistake is that we have different views and live in different times. Jingxi, don’t be sad.”

"Okay, Wan'er, I understand. I'll go back and pack my things now." Jing Xi got up, stretched, straightened her clothes, and prepared to leave.

As soon as the door opened, Yan Wan's urgent voice came through, emphasizing each word.

"Jingxi, you must be extremely careful on this trip to Jiangnan."

Upon hearing the voice, Jing Xi paused for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Wan, who was drinking tea with her back to her, and smiled.

With her red lips slightly pursed, she smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I'll come back to do your makeup."

After leaving the private room, Jing Xi immediately became serious, her brows furrowed slightly. She paused briefly in front of the room door for two seconds before leaving.

It seems that this trip to Jiangnan will be fraught with danger, and we must be extremely prepared!

interesting.
