Chapter 288 Finale (Part 1)
Shu Yan stared at his ferocious face for a moment, then covered him with a piece of rag and walked out.
"Tongzi, did you see that?"
"At the last moment, the male protagonist was still trying his best to drag me to death with him."
"But in those sadistic stories and dramas, the heroines are physically and emotionally abused by the heroes, but instead of dragging them down with them, they die tragically on their own, often in front of the heroes themselves—don't you think that's strange?"
“It’s as if their deaths are a poignant spectacle for the readers to savor and for the hero to watch.”
[That's right.] The system was puzzled: [The male protagonist's death was really ugly, not at all cruel to the female protagonist.]
"But that's how most people react." Shu Yan shook her head. "I put myself in his shoes. If I were harmed like that by the male protagonist, I would do my best to drag him to death with me even until the very end."
"My death must have been horrific and full of hatred. How could it be so beautiful and lack any desire for revenge?"
[Hmm…] The system pondered and slapped its head: [I know, this kind of death… is to cause the hero the greatest pain, to avenge him!]
【but…】
"Well, but you also know that the so-called revenge a woman's death can bring to a man is pure fantasy."
Shu Yan sighed: "But have you noticed that many romance novels like to appeal to emotions as a means of revenge against unfaithful men."
"The better ones make the hero regret it while the heroine is still alive, chase his wife to the crematorium, and the worst ones make the heroine die directly."
"But they have one thing in common, which is that they use emotions as a means to use the man's mental pain as a way to retaliate against him for hurting her."
"But why should we use something so insubstantial to punish those who hurt us?"
"Why can't we seize his power, use force, power, money, and status to crush him, and trample him underfoot with real swords and guns?"
"Many articles love to talk about reality, but there is one biggest reality that is always overlooked - in reality, the only reason someone hurts you is simply because they don't love you that much. Furthermore, even the deepest love will fade with time."
"The so-called lifelong pain of losing the heroine has always existed only in fantasy."
[But...] The system rests its chin on its hand: [Many times, the heroine doesn't actually take revenge on the hero because she truly can't.]
[The heroine is less powerful than the hero, and oftentimes, the hero is closely tied to the family, the country, and the people. If the hero is killed, more people will be implicated.]
"Then, we have to ask the creators," Shu Yan said calmly, "Why is the person in power who can't be killed always the male protagonist? Why is the person forced to swallow her anger always the female protagonist?"
"The story is written by the creator. You could say he's the creator of that world. If he wanted to, couldn't he come up with a way for the heroine to kill the hero?"
"We already have so many shackles in reality, why do we continue to shackle ourselves in the world of imagination?"
"We can write about rebirth and time travel, interstellar voyages, the collapse of dynasties, the decay of mountains and rivers, the reversal of time and space, the emptiness of the three realms, but we simply cannot imagine a love story that transcends the traditional male-dominated, female-dominated relationship, or an equal gender relationship."
"Either she fantasizes about making a man regret his actions through self-abuse and self-destruction, or she tries to slap the scumbag in the face by marrying a stronger man. No matter how strong the heroine is, she always needs a stronger man to back her up."
"It's so sad to think that so many girls, at an age when their values are still being formed, are only seeing this kind of heroine and this kind of female world."
She could only be thankful that she grew up in an orphanage and had seen the evil in people's hearts, but was not poisoned by such illusory things.
This will definitely not be the last world she travels to. She will continue to complete missions and rescue the female supporting characters.
However, novels of the same type emerge in endlessly, and if she were to create them one by one, there would be no end to it.
Complete innovation can only rely on everyone's awakening.
There is no need to say that these old types will be eliminated from now on, but she really hopes to see more new possibilities in the spiritual and cultural world of women.
…
Si Jianhuo's body was not found until three days later, and it was already smelly.
The Si family collapsed, some were sentenced to death, and some were imprisoned.
The rival Zhao family was overjoyed and called Zhao Mixi back to encroach on the Si family's business empire.
Li Xi was so excited that he ate three more bowls of rice that night. Not long after, he recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
After Si Jianhuo's blood type was changed, his kidneys were very compatible with Li Xi's and there was no major reaction.
Although her health is not as good as it used to be after the kidney transplant, it is much better than in her dreams, and she is very grateful for her current life.
Shu Yan expressed her relief: "Tongtong, the original owner will come back after I leave, right?"
[Yanyan, the original owner has been reincarnated.]
"Ah?" Shu Yan was startled: "You're not coming back?"
[Not going back. The original owner was seriously injured. Even if Si Jianhuo died, she didn't want to come back.]
"Okay..." Shu Yan sighed: "Then after I finish this world, what will happen to the original owner's body?"
[When you were away, Tong automatically took over. However, Tong couldn't take care of her forever, so she would die naturally when the time came.]
Shu Yan shook her head helplessly, but she felt relieved when she thought that the original owner had already started a new life in another life.
She stayed in the plot for a few more days, said goodbye to Li Xi, and left this world.
