Writing Historians (I)
After a short rest, Yu Wan soon received the script for the next world.
For some reason, she always felt that the looks from the people around her were a little strange, especially Qin, as if she had some unspeakable secret, which she swallowed back. However, she didn't think much about it and just continued to read according to the script.
This time the world is set in ancient times. What's special is that the background of this world is not a romance novel, but a serious drama novel without CP. It tells the story of two loyal ministers trying to turn the tide and constantly trying to save the dynasty from the water and fire against the backdrop of the collapse of an imaginary dynasty, but failing in the end.
What's even more special is that this novel is a semi-documentary work written by the author with reference to a large amount of historical facts. The shadow of real history can be seen in many places. There is no female protagonist and emotional line, and the structure is much larger than that of ordinary online novels.
One of the male protagonists is named Pei Wensu. He was once the most famous young man from a noble family in the capital. He spent his days riding horses and drinking. Later, his family fell into poverty and he gradually saw the decline of the dynasty. He began to work hard to save the country. At this time, he met another civil servant Zhu Daoan. The two met too late and became good friends in a few rounds. From then on, they embarked on the road to saving the dynasty together.
Although the dreams of the two were shattered in the end, they have enjoyed extremely high popularity and acclaim outside the book. Various secondary creations and fan works are flying all over the place, and they have also been liked and forwarded by mainstream media. In short, such a big pie is incomparable to the previous books combined.
In order to make Yu Wan realize the uniqueness and importance of this world, the mother system called up an interface, which was exactly the fans' discussion about the upcoming live broadcast:
[It's okay to have a female lead, but don't interfere with their relationship, and don't let any plot of two men fighting for one woman happen. These two are the best.]
[Also, our original work is historical literature, which is different from those mindless online novels. Having a female protagonist really makes the scale seem small.]
Let's wait and see. Please don't bring bad things to Xiao Su and Xiao An.
[What's the point of attracting negative attention? That's just how it is. Who on earth enjoys reading those cheesy love stories? If you haven't read, don't embarrass yourself.]
Yu Wan opened her mouth and forgot to blink as she was reading. She was obviously shocked. Upon seeing this, the mother system's originally depressed mood immediately brightened up a little and announced this mission: the host was originally a reader. She traveled through the book on the night she finished reading it, and happened to travel to the period when the dynasty in the book was in crisis and the two protagonists were trying to save the nation.
It is worth mentioning that due to the decline of their family and various external factors, the official careers of the two of them have not been very smooth. Now they have touched upon the interests of the largest party in the court, and they are being targeted and excluded. In addition, the emperor is incompetent and believes in slander, and the two have been demoted again and again. Their reputations have become increasingly worse, and they are the target of public criticism.
In this way, until the reform failed and they died in anger, the two men were unable to erase the notoriety of being treacherous ministers, and were cursed and hated by countless people, including the people they tried so hard to protect. It can be said that their sincerity was wasted.
Although the author gave the two an unfair ending in the extra chapter decades later, that is ultimately a story for the future.
Therefore, the host needs to change the world's view of them in advance, become a historian, record the heroic deeds of the two in history books, awaken those ignorant people and ministers, and it would be even better if he can help them defeat their political enemies and revive the dynasty.
[This time, I will complete the task properly]
Seeing Yu Wan's nonchalant expression, the thorn in the mother system's heart began to itch again; if the male protagonists in the previous times all had flaws, then that would not be mentioned. This time, the protagonists were two spotless and honest officials who had lived a noble life, but ended up being misunderstood and bullied to death by the world. It made people want to stand up for the injustice, and it naturally became a natural internal driving force.
Seeing that time was almost up, the mother system said that the protagonist this time was a very good person and warned her not to do it again.
Yu Wan scratched her head. She didn’t know whether these two protagonists were good or not. She only knew that the mother system felt that serving one man was not enough in the previous world, so this time it directly brought two.
"Serving others every day, are we systems or caregivers..." Yu Wan muttered softly, and wanted to say something else, but shut up under the stern gaze of the mother system.
After a slight adjustment, Yu Wan walked up to the control console as usual. After a few seconds, the big screen in the background did not display the picture as usual. The commentators were a little confused, wondering what was going on.
After a moment, the System Bureau gave the answer. It turned out that the original work of this world background was too popular, and the plot setting was far beyond the structure of ordinary online novels. The System Bureau let Yu Wan and the host live in the local area for a period of time to experience the sufferings of the world. Only then would they be more attentive to redress the grievances of the two protagonists in the future, and the chance of success would be greater.
Originally, it shouldn't have been so troublesome, but Yu Wan was born with a dull mind and couldn't understand what was being said. After the explanation, the originally questioning comments became slightly more positive:
[Looking forward to it, I hope the heroine can save them, come on, come on]
[Just don't ruin Wen Su's character. He's not like the overbearing CEOs you little girls like. Don't be a bit of a fangirl and call him "husband." It only makes you look superficial.]
[I clicked on it. Those who can't appreciate it are probably children who don't read much, or wild boars who can't eat fine bran.]
What a strange analogy! Isn't bran, no matter how fine it is, still for pigs to eat?
Several people in the backstage barrage waited and waited, with different ideas. Qin was nervous and paced back and forth without forgetting to look at the watch. Finally, the picture slowly became clear.
This was an elegant and exquisite Chinese-style palace, with magnificent carved railings and jade masonry. Exotic flowers and jade trees filled the courtyards, and the well-trained palace attendants in the corridors gave it a grand appearance; it looked like the residence of a prominent figure. The first five minutes of the livestream were all from Yu Wan's perspective, but then the scene shifted and settled on a woman in elegant attire.
There was a pearl curtain in front of her, blocking out the scorching sun in the court. The camera slowly pulled away, revealing two young men in official uniforms kneeling on the ground.
The sun was blazing brightly in the sky. The woman in gorgeous clothes propped up her head, feeling drowsy, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she looked a little impatient. At this moment, one of the men on the ground suddenly stood up and was about to step forward to lift the curtain, but a guard at the side immediately drew his sword and stopped him: "Master Pei."
"I..." The next moment, he bumped into the sharp blade and his expression changed.
"You and Master Zhu should go back first. The princess will consider this matter herself." The female official's voice came from behind the curtain. She still showed no intention of seeing the guests. The commentators were originally confused, but when they heard two familiar surnames, they all raised question marks.
[So this princess is the heroine? And she's so arrogant and domineering?]
[That's not right. Didn't the script say that the heroine was just the daughter of a small family, and later entered the palace as a female official, and then decided to redress the injustice of Wen Su and Dao An?]
What the hell?
The woman called the princess in the picture ignored him and changed her posture to continue resting with her eyes closed. Yu Wan landed on her shoulder, with her hands on her hips, and the expression of "taking advantage of the power of others" was almost written on her face.
