Chuan Rui and the others looked a little embarrassed. Well, even if they were to make up an excuse, couldn't they come up with a more suitable one?

"Ah, this!" Chuan Hai followed everyone's gaze to the empty bowl in front of him, quickly trying to find another excuse, but Chuan Wen's thoughts beat him to it: "Sigh, you can't be distracted when you're eating. Look, you choked because you were thinking about something!"

Chuanwen has a deep understanding of this. She once cheated on her husband by reading gossip in the script while she was distracted by the fear of getting caught. As a result, she almost choked on a pork bone!

Chuan Hai, embarrassed, tried to cover it up, saying, "I was so engrossed in thinking that I jerked my breath..."

That's more like it; at least that reason makes sense. But rumors always come out of nowhere. [My uncle is probably worried about how the emperor treats him differently. If my grandfather finds out, I wonder if he'll break his legs?]

Chuan Hai froze on the spot. He... he hadn't thought of this at all! Besides, he and the Emperor were innocent! Waaah! My dear niece, you've slandered me, you've spread rumors, you've cleared my name!

What's wrong with you now?

Wang noticed that Chuanhai's body was stiff and his face was a little pale, and she was a little worried. She felt that her husband was acting a little strange today.

Chuan Hai was speechless, choked with emotion, and after a long pause, managed to stammer, "I'm hungry..."

After worrying for a while, Wang rolled her eyes, ladled a large bowl of soup, and placed it in front of him, saying, "Eat if you're hungry!"

Chuanrui felt a pang of sympathy for Chuanhai, not only for being misunderstood by his daughter, but also for Wang Shi. Wang Shi used to be so gentle and kind, but perhaps she'd caught his wife's temper; she seemed to have become quite fierce. Before, Wang Shi would only roll her eyes at him secretly, but these past few encounters, she'd openly glare at him as if he'd committed some heinous crime. He was so scared he didn't dare speak to Wang Shi, fearing a torrent of abuse from her!

Silence fell over the dinner table again as everyone began to eat.

However, Chuanwen seemed silent, but he was actually quite active inside, his thoughts returning to the new script.

[The Third Prince left, and Xu Wuyou came along. So the male leads are on a rotating schedule, while the female lead just keeps taking advantage of my Yu-jie?]

Marquis Changxing and the others had calmed down a bit. Judging from the title of the storybook, although it was a bit... well, it was hard to say, but it shouldn't be like when the Third Prince was still the male lead, right? After all, the words "sweet romance" couldn't be a bad thing.

Whether she's the female lead or not doesn't matter, as long as their entire Marquis's family isn't wiped out again!

They thought they had escaped the tragic fate in the book, but after the Third Prince was imprisoned for so many days, they were dragged into another story. Are they trying to kill us?!

The group remained silent, their hearts pounding with anxiety. Fortunately, Chuanwen, who had quickly skimmed through the introduction, soon provided them with an answer:

Unlike previous angst-filled novels, this one is a sweet romance. The male and female leads are both strong, and although they are constantly harassed by the vicious female supporting characters, they always manage to retaliate and make them suffer. In the end, the vicious female supporting characters become more and more miserable than the last, while the male and female leads have a happy reunion, have two children in three years, and live a life as sweet as honey...

Chuanwen was on the verge of tears, because she was among the villainous female supporting characters. [The villainous female supporting characters include, but are not limited to, the Western Regions Princess (the most villainous female supporting character), herself, Wen Xue... So now that most of the characters have arrived, the script is starting to update, right?]

Having finally outlasted the Third Prince and escaped the fate of being a villainous female supporting character, Chuanwen's hard work of one or two years has come to nothing! Sigh, although she was just slacking off and not really working hard, the feeling of being about to pass a level in a game only to find that the game has restarted is really frustrating!

After glancing at the synopsis once more, Chuanwen, who refused to believe in fate, was once again certain that she truly was a vicious supporting female character. [She escaped the tragic ending of a angst-filled novel, and now she's getting a much-needed gift in a sweet romance novel: being abandoned by the Marquis of Changxing's household and left to fend for herself on the estate. So, her main theme is "Let me die, huh!"]

Chuanwen resisted the urge to flip the table, and also the urge to crawl onto it and writhe in a dark, twisted way. But he couldn't help cursing inwardly: "[Everyone's a vicious female supporting character, only my Sister Yu is a good person! Have novels gotten this out of hand? Why do we all have to dislike the female lead, then get jealous, frame her, and get slapped in the face—it's a complete cycle! Who are you, author? Come on, I think we need to sit down, have some tea, and have a serious talk about life!]"

Chuanwen restrained his actions, only letting his mind run wild, but the few people at the dinner table who could hear Chuanwen's thoughts were also in turmoil.

The Marquis of Changxing and his wife, as well as Chuanhai, found it unbelievable that Chuanwen had told them about her fate. Would they despise Wen'er? Would they abandon her on the estate and leave her to fend for herself?

Looking at the girl who was eating with unusual force because of her anger, they thought that either they were crazy or the author of the storybook was crazy. How could they possibly throw Wen girl into the manor? Even if she didn't have the ability to know everything, they wouldn't dislike the innocent Wen girl!

Wen Xue was also shocked. Just a moment ago, they were saying that her parents were the male and female leads. How did she suddenly become the villainous supporting character, and with a tragic ending at that?

Breakfast was finished in silence and shock. After eating, Chuanwen simply gave up and stopped going to the girls' school. She went back to her room to take a nap. Anyway, she was going to die anyway, so why should she be so diligent?

However, her neglect of education caused Marquis Changxing great anxiety. Without the transmission of knowledge from the girls' school, how could their Great Jin Dynasty become prosperous and strong?

But Chuanwen had locked the room from the inside, so he couldn't get in. He tried to persuade her from the outside until his throat was dry, but there was no response from inside. He looked to Wenxue for help. Wenxue listened to the sounds inside and felt a little embarrassed. "She's asleep."
