Hearing Qu Feiyan's response, Xiao Zhao looked puzzled, and her gaze lingered briefly on the manuscript in front of Qu Feiyan.
A moment later, following closely behind Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao's eyes also reddened.
"White snowflakes fell from the sky. Looking at the man lying lifeless in her arms, tears streamed down Liu Hanyi's cheeks."
Turning to look at the Fallen Heaven Palace behind her, Liu Hanyi slowly picked up the gradually cooling corpse and stepped onto the increasingly snowy ground until she reached the edge of a precipice, where she leaped into the air.
"As the two fell into the abyss, a blood-stained handkerchief floated in the mountain wind, and a few lines of small characters were faintly visible on it."
"This night, this moment, is unbearable! Entering the gate of my longing, you know the bitterness of my longing. Long is my longing, long is my remembrance; short is my longing, yet it is endless. If I had known it would torment my heart so, I would rather we had never met."
"The book is finished!"
As the last word came into view, Xiao Zhao burst into tears after reading the last word.
Qu Feiyan, who was standing to the side, also had red eyes and looked at Chu Qinghe with a resentful expression.
In Chu Qinghe's novel, the early parts were incredibly sweet.
The unexpected encounter and the female lead's double standards when facing the male lead and other people made all three women beam with excitement.
The sweeter it is in the beginning, the more heartbreaking it becomes later.
The plot takes a sudden turn when it is revealed that the male protagonist's biological father is the female protagonist's father's killer.
What was originally a sweet story interspersed with tales of martial arts and chivalry suddenly turned into a heart-wrenching tale.
Every time the male and female protagonists meet, it's like an invisible knife cutting into the hearts of the three women.
As you watch the rest of the series, each episode is truly heart-wrenching.
In particular, Chu Qinghe would also add some particularly poignant verses to this story, which even Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao found heartbreaking.
In less than half an hour, she had cried dozens of times.
She would cry almost every few dozen breaths.
Even when Yaoyue looked at Chu Qinghe at this moment, her eyes were filled with hostility.
Facing the gazes of the three women, Chu Qinghe asked, "Do you think it looks good?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's question, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, though their eyes were still red, nodded nonetheless.
Meanwhile, Yaoyue, who was standing to the side, said slowly through gritted teeth, "It's really well written."
Not to mention Yaoyue, who immersed herself in the story from the very beginning.
Chu Qinghe, however, was completely unfazed by Yaoyue's gaze and said leisurely, "If it looks good, then that's all that matters!"
Qu Feiyan said, "But Young Master, what you wrote is too tragic, isn't it? It was so sweet at the beginning."
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Sadness is the right thing to do."
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Yaoyue's eyes turned cold, and she couldn't help but mobilize her true energy. Her gaze kept shifting over Chu Qinghe, as if she was considering which position to strike next.
Sensing the hostile look in Yaoyue's eyes, Chu Qinghe coughed lightly and said, "Actually, a sweet beginning followed by a tragic ending is the most appropriate."
Then, before the girls could speak, Chu Qinghe said, "You see, if it's sweet from beginning to end and ends with everyone being happy, it's just a bit of fun. How many of those family-friendly stories with happy endings that you used to read can you still remember now?"
Following Chu Qinghe's explanation, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao thought about the old stories. Xiao Zhao was fine with it, but Qu Feiyan was stunned for a moment and muttered, "It seems that I really can't remember them."
Chu Qinghe shrugged and said, "See? Sometimes, the more unsettling it is, the more memorable it becomes. Otherwise, what's the difference between reading it and not reading it at all? All love is suffering. Of the eighty thousand words in the world, only the word 'love' hurts the most."
In business, ideas often need to be unique and have their own distinctive appeal; the same applies to storytelling.
Just like a novel Chu Qinghe read in his previous life, the female protagonist ended up with only a bell, and in the end, the protagonist could only look at the bell and think of her.
Chu Qinghe was somewhat depressed for a period of time after watching it, and I still haven't forgotten it now.
This shows that sometimes, ending with tragedy can actually elevate the content of a story and make it memorable.
Therefore, Chu Qinghe's philosophy in writing storybooks was to make them as tragic as possible, and the more intense the crying, the more accurate Chu Qinghe's writing was.
The essence of storytelling lies in its unexpected twists and turns.
If you can predict what will happen next just by reading the beginning, then what's the point of reading it?
Faced with Chu Qinghe's explanation, Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but they didn't know how to respond.
After all, Chu Qinghe's story was indeed well-written, much better than the ones they had read before.
Even Yaoyue, after reflecting on Chu Qinghe's explanation, couldn't help but feel that there was some truth to what Chu Qinghe said.
At first glance, fallacies seem ridiculous, but upon closer examination, they can inexplicably make some sense.
Just like Chu Qinghe is now, he speaks eloquently, leaving the three women, including Yaoyue, with no reason to refute him.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao suddenly spoke up: "Young master, does the word 'love' always end in tragedy?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan and even Yaoyue looked at Chu Qinghe.
Meeting the gazes of the three women, Chu Qinghe pondered for a few moments before saying calmly, "I don't know about the others, but when it comes to matters of the heart, your young master doesn't like the bitterness in relationships; he only likes the sweetness."
What a lunatic! Who wants to go through the pain of love for no reason?
Chu Qinghe doesn't have any particular fetishes; he definitely likes sweet things, and the kind that's sickeningly sweet.
