What made Xiao He feel even more complicated was that in the end, Song Chenye had killed almost everyone, leaving only the script's title.

Okay, okay, he'd seen villains fight to the end, only to have their own storyline end up being the title of the show. But now, wow, here comes a protagonist who fights to the end, only to have his own storyline end up being the title of the show.

Xiao He was greatly shocked.

Moreover, the protagonist is truly determined and will carry out his revenge to the very end.

Is your best friend the son of your enemy?

—I will definitely kill your father. If you try to stop me, then we will have a fair duel according to the rules of the martial arts world. Between you and me, one must die and the other must live. If you win, I will die and go to see the hundreds of dead souls of my Song family to kowtow and atone for my sins. If I win, your father's head will definitely be placed in front of my parents' graves.

A female knight-errant who secretly loves him suddenly betrays him and pleads for his father's life?

"Your father and I are mortal enemies! If I forgive him, do you think he won't kill me? Betrayal is betrayal. If your father dies, you die too!"

There is no compassion in Song Chenye who "lays down the butcher's knife and forgives the enemy," only the swift and decisive joy of killing all his enemies.

In the end, even the villains were afraid of him. They would turn and run away at the mere mention of his name. People from both the righteous and the evil paths had to respectfully call him "Hero Song" and dared not be presumptuous in front of him. This shows the power of Song Chenye.

Moreover, Song Chenye was not the kind of madman who was completely blinded by bloodlust. He adhered to the principle of "repaying kindness, avenging hatred, and severing ties." He had his own set of principles for dealing with things from beginning to end. His revenge was open and aboveboard. He would repay those who had been kind to him with great gratitude, and he would cut down those who had wronged him.

Even when seeking revenge, he didn't actually kill all hundreds of people in his enemy's family. Instead, he carried the head of one of the victims directly to the enemy's doorstep, explaining in detail his grievances and past with the enemy. He then told the enemy's relatives and friends, if they had any grudges, to come to him immediately. Now that the enemy had delivered himself to his doorstep, he could grant them any wish for revenge.

So, those who were not satisfied and wanted revenge, Song Chenye killed them all, and then left with their heads in his arms.

Seeing this, Xiao He almost laughed out of exasperation at Song Chenye's outrageous actions.

Who's going to be so kind as to go and explain this, even risking their own life? Are you sure this isn't a provocation?

However, Song Chenye felt that the grudges and right and wrong had been clearly explained. The enemy was wrong first, so he should naturally pay for his blood debt. Anyone with the ability to think and discern should know who was right and who was wrong.

However, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to reconcile. He also gave his enemies a chance to take revenge, satisfying their "loyalty" or "filial piety." But if he didn't stand up then, and they came to seek revenge later, or continued to promote the noble and virtuous image of his enemy, then they would be enemies who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, couldn't tell the difference between honesty and dishonesty, and were hypocritical and stubborn, irreconcilable enemies.

To be honest, after seeing this, Xiao He also felt that Song Chenye was somewhat eerie.

This isn't a derogatory term, nor is it a compliment; it's just... Xiao He didn't know how to describe it. Let's just say it again: he was just too wicked to be true.

He takes revenge openly and honestly, clearly distinguishing right from wrong, and while seeking revenge, he also remembers to uphold justice and help the weak. These actions may sound crazy, but when you put yourself in his shoes, you realize he is exceptionally principled.

Moreover, it actually aligns with the current mindset of the audience. Compared to forgiving the enemy, bearing the deep-seated hatred of the entire clan, and suffering alone, people nowadays prefer to take revenge and settle scores.

—Are you saying that my brothers and women, whom I've only known for a few months, are far more important than my parents and relatives who gave me life and raised me for eight years?

Hehe, Song Chenye will draw his sword directly and show you the result with his actions.

What Xiao He admired most was that Song Chenye never suffered from internal strife or hesitation. He had his own firm beliefs. Even when the female lead poisoned and stabbed him in the back, he only paused for five seconds to expel the poison, and then fought the female lead to the death.

To be honest, Song Chenye's character and some of her behaviors might be very controversial if they were actually portrayed.

After all, human nature is complex. In many revenge dramas, the audience has already forgiven the protagonist's enemies halfway through, and even thinks that the protagonist is too cold-blooded and cruel.

Many people initially just wanted to enjoy the sweet romance, specifically the kind of heart-wrenching love story where "the protagonist falls in love with the descendant of their enemy."

But once it really comes to the end, when the protagonist chooses to forgive his enemy and stop seeking revenge, some viewers will feel frustrated and think that the protagonist is crazy.

Therefore, there are various opinions and perspectives on this type of storyline, and it is bound to be controversial after it airs.

But... it's so satisfying! The protagonist's near-invincible fighting skills, along with his clear and intelligent crime-solving mind, truly allow him to sweep through everything and chase people down and kill them the whole way!

Xiao He didn't care about whether the protagonist's thoughts were right or wrong for the time being; he was already very excited just by the protagonist's killing spree.

Why isn't he taking the role? Isn't this the perfect script tailor-made for him?

Where did you find Sister Liu? They're such a perfect match!
