"Speaking of which, it's easy for people to make strange mistakes—" the Cyber Elf said dimly, "It's easy to overestimate one's own humanity, but it's also easy to underestimate one's own humanity."
"What's the meaning?"
"In fact, since she was able to resolutely abandon her original save file and return to the past when she was pregnant, she must have been prepared to give up everything, right? But in the end, she was unable to give up anything - that is, she could have solved it without being together, but in the end, she was still moved by the same person. It's not about how outstanding this person is or how attractive they are, but it's actually the fragments of past relationships piled together. Whenever she sees this person, she can associate them with infinite superpositions. So, no matter what the cost, she must be with the same person -"
The system whispered, "But that's just like the sugar biscuits you ate for the first time when you were a kid. You just eat them for the sake of nostalgia. In reality, your favorite food might be something else, but as long as you can't get it, you'll always miss that taste. Knowing it's not the same person, you still put that person in someone else's skin. Isn't this a substitute trope?"
“…”
Chu Shangli put himself in the shoes of the Cheshire Cat's father, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was indeed very cruel.
That person's eyes are always looking at other people and never reflect oneself - however, the so-called rival in love is still oneself. The other party will not feel guilty and may even show this substitute feeling obviously.
"Speaking of which..." Chu Shangli suddenly had an idea: "Since going back to the past after becoming pregnant means you can't have another child, then if you go back to the past after your child is born, wouldn't this situation be perfectly solved?"
"Don't you think my previous master didn't try?" The system exhaled: "It's just a worse development-"
“You’ve even tried this…”
"Didn't I tell you? My former master was an extraordinary lunatic. Aside from her ultimate suicide, she'd tried everything I could and couldn't imagine. Thanks to her, I, who wasn't very normal to begin with, seem to have become even more abnormal..."
Fine silver phosphorus powder floated within the system - it looked like the light of fireflies.
"If something like what you just mentioned were done, then for a period of time, this body would be forcibly placed under custody until it became pregnant again at the next point in the pregnancy cycle. Neither she nor I could intervene, and we could only sit in the audience and watch the most absurd and ridiculous events unfold." At this point, the system added, as if remembering something, "Oh, right, you'd never imagine that during custody, the child's father wouldn't be the Cheshire Cat's original father, but a stranger. So, in order to maintain the most normal course, my former master was forced to return to the time of the substitute. What a tragedy."
“…”
The system's pitfalls are even more diverse than I imagined.
In order to try out the various functions of the system, I stepped on everything I could...
"If I don't decide to commit suicide, can you - before I make any decision, tell me whether the Cheshire Cat's mother did this?"
"Hmm?" The system was stunned for a moment, then answered readily, "Of course! I'd love it. If you were to repeat my mistakes, I'd suffer all my previous suffering in vain... But before you brought it up, I didn't dare to say anything—after all, my previous master hated me gossiping and meddling in her affairs, and even forced me into a deep sleep..."
