Le Yao mentally prepared her words before speaking: "What I'm about to say might be a little scary, even a little weird, but you have to believe me, it's all true."
"Okay." Nangong Jue nodded. "I trust you."
"Actually, I'm not the real Han Binglan. My name is Le Yao, not the Le Yao in my online name, but my real name." Le Yao sighed. "I used to be a tour guide. I have parents and a younger brother. Life wasn't very wealthy, but it was very harmonious..."
Nangong Jue's brows furrowed slightly. He didn't like her current state, because she seemed as if she was about to leave, which made him feel very insecure.
"I read a novel in my spare time, and you are all characters in it. I don't know why, but in the blink of an eye, I've become a supporting character in this novel..."
"A supporting role?" Nangong Jue grabbed Le Yao's hand. "Why a supporting role? Then who's the main character?"
"The male lead is you, Nangong Jue, and the female lead is Yan Zimeng."
Nangong Jue's expression darkened slightly: "How could it be her? I'm the male lead, and you're the one I'm marrying, how could..."
"Han Binglan loves you, but you don't love her. Even after you got married, did you treat her like your wife?" Le Yao sighed, then recounted the plot of the novel. "In this novel, Yan Zimeng is the darling of the group. You, Yang Jinxuan, Fu Yunshen, Hao Kai, Wu Ya... and so on, are basically a group of scumbags. They all dote on her, willing to do anything for her, even things that are morally reprehensible. So, Han Binglan dies tragically, Yang Jinhan dies tragically, Fu Yunshen breaks his leg and leaves for distant lands... In the end, you all live happily ever after..."
Nangong Jue felt terrible. Was he really that much of a jerk? But his intuition told him that what Le Yao said was probably true.
"However, perhaps because of my arrival, a butterfly effect occurred, and the original story collapsed. I am no longer the original Han Binglan. I am not as infatuated with you, so after our divorce, I can still live a good life..."
Nangong Jue nodded. Not only was she doing very well, but she had also become incredibly popular. If she were to enter the film and television industry, she would definitely be a top star right from the start, a level that many people might not reach even after a lifetime of hard work.
“But you were acting strange. I thought back then that maybe what you can’t have is always the best. How awful.” Le Yao laughed. “You turned around and pursued me. To be honest, I really… hated you at first.”
"If it's really as you say, then I am indeed a scumbag and should not be forgiven." Nangong Jue sighed, otherwise he wouldn't have kicked him so hard back then.
He felt incredibly frustrated. How could he have been so bewitched by Yan Zimeng? Looking back, he felt his intelligence had always been sharp, and he had never given Yan Zimeng any response. But what Le Yao said about that past life—perhaps he was under a curse? It was indeed terrifying and bizarre.
"But later, you risked your life to save me several times. Although I have Han Binglan's memories, I am not her. I truly felt your sincerity." Le Yao touched Nangong Jue's face. "Such a handsome, affectionate, rich, and handsome man, if I didn't agree, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"
