"No! Third Sister, stop!" Gu Ren quickly stopped Gu Xin from continuing her thoughts; this idea was too terrifying. "Third Sister, we only have my brother to study in our family. I just want to do what I want to do. Please don't get me into trouble!"
Gu Xin smiled but didn't press him: "I know, you're just lazy."
"So, Third Sister, you've agreed to help me find Brother Xiao Qiu?" Gu Ren asked happily.
"Then tell me your ideas. Let me see if your concept is good. What kind of character do you want to portray Xiao Qiu as?" Gu Xin thought for a moment and then said.
“I didn’t say I was going to write about Xiao Qiu Ge!” Gu Ren said.
"Hey, why don't you write a story based on Xiao Qiu? It'll definitely be a bestseller. Seriously, whether you write a book or tell stories in a teahouse, I guarantee you'll make a fortune." Gu Xin suddenly had an idea.
Renren's stories were mostly told by storytellers in teahouses, because not everyone could read. Those who were illiterate or didn't like reading and found reading a headache would mostly go to teahouses to listen to stories.
Wasn't Xiao Qiu seeking revenge? Planning a grand scheme?
By then, when Xiao Qiu starts taking action, Ren Ren's new book will also be available!
If this were made with the original model, everyone would love it.
The gossip surrounding the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is so good that the people of the capital can listen for days and nights without getting tired of it. They're still discussing how long it will take for Madam Lin and her children to be dealt with by her first wife's son, Prince Lu!
“But I don’t know him personally. What if I make something up? Wouldn’t that offend your friend?” Gu Ren said.
"Why don't you give it a try!" Gu Xin said.
"Alright, alright, I'll give it a try?" Gu Ren poked his head with his chubby little hand, and soon he had an idea. "If everyone wants this to be popular, we need to give the protagonist a melodramatic backstory."
Gu Xin's eyes lit up, and she immediately sat up instead of lying down. She pulled Gu Ren up as well, and the two of them sat directly in the recliner.
"What? Does Brother Qiu really have a dramatic backstory?" Gu Ren sensed something was off about Gu Xin's reaction.
Sometimes he felt quite frustrated. After all, he created the male and female protagonists, but the male protagonist became amazing and broke away from his storyline, reborn on his own. So, he didn't recognize the people the male protagonist knew!
He immediately realized that Zheng Qiu must have been a very powerful person in Lu Zheng's previous life. After all, this kid was brought back to the capital from Jiangnan by the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and he seemed calm and composed, unlike a typical minor coroner in a government office.
"Tell me your idea first, and I'll tell you when you're done," Gu Xin urged Gu Ren.
"Alright, alright!" Gu Ren sighed helplessly and continued, "If the backstory is too melodramatic, then let's say he's from a wealthy family, like Brother Yuan, who was framed by his stepmother and was supposed to die, but was saved by an experienced old coroner. Then the protagonist stays by the old coroner's side. Years later, he returns to his family's hometown, helps the local officials solve cases one after another, and finally gets his revenge?"
Gu Ren could only think of so much. After all, this was an assignment given to him by Gu Xin, and he only came up with this idea after spending time with Zheng Qiu during the day. He hadn't made any preparations at all.
It would be good enough to only give a general overview of the plot.
Gu Xin rubbed Gu Ren's chubby little face with both hands: "Renren, my little darling, how can you be so capable? I'm starting to wonder if you know Xiao Qiu!"
Gu Ren let Gu Xin rub his face, and said in shock, "He really does have this background?"
