Chapter 84 The Mistress Forces a Palace



Having her own abilities is already enviable, but she's also a daughter of a noble family.

This perfectly illustrates what it means for someone more talented than you to work even harder than you.

The Takeuchi family's publishing focuses on novels and comics, and their works are bestsellers both domestically and internationally.

Since it's a bestseller, it's no wonder that people are curious about it.

Yoshiko Takeuchi is here today to promote her new book and also to hold a fan meeting.

The audience in the studio were all women who had written to her and sought her help.

To promote the new book, the host held a Q&A session.

This is someone Yoshiko Takeuchi knows very well; she also knows what questions others will ask, and there's always a script beforehand.

For example—"I've been married to my husband for three years, and it seems like he doesn't love me anymore. He doesn't give me gifts on holidays, and he even forgot my birthday. Should I divorce him?"

Yoshiko Takeuchi has a knack for this kind of subjectivity; what she wants on the show is explosive excitement, so she has already prepared her lines in advance.

The story unfolds with a clear beginning, development, climax, and resolution. First, it analyzes the character's psychology, allowing the audience to empathize and berate the man. Then, it leads the viewer to recall past happiness, causing the questioner to struggle with the situation and creating a conflict between the viewer and the protagonist.

The onlookers, after all, only offer their opinions; they might shout, "Divorce! Divorce! Why not divorce this scumbag!"

"If I don't buy you gifts, it means I don't love you!"

The protagonist is caught in a dilemma, and the dramatic conflict builds to a climax.

At this crucial moment, the sponsors need to step in with an ad.

After the commercial break, the host should ask relationship expert Yoshiko Takeuchi.

Ask her for advice.

Should we get a divorce or not?

There are two opposing viewpoints, and it's obvious that she couldn't advise them to break up in front of a national audience.

She was afraid of being beaten if she went out after breaking up someone's marriage.

The television program recorded everything clearly; as a relationship guru, she had to learn to play it safe.

The best approach is to speak to both sides, and finally, the stage opens and the questioner's husband steps out.

Ideally, the host should present flowers and gifts, play sentimental music, and create a good atmosphere before concluding the program.

This was all too familiar to Yoshiko Takeuchi. Looking at the questioner, she could even picture the scene of the couple embracing and crying.

But today, it seems the station gave us the wrong script.

The girl in front of me asked a strange question.

She asked—

“Ms. Meizi, you are calm and rational when analyzing other people’s emotional problems, but I think we are different. You are a successful person, while most of us are just ordinary people.”

"So, if I may ask, if your marriage were to encounter problems, would you get a divorce?"

"That depends on the situation. We need to analyze each case individually. By the way, what are your relationship problems?" She specifically reminded the other person to follow the procedures, as the program time was all timed.

"My question is, if Ms. Mei's husband cheated on her, would you get a divorce?"

This was beyond the scope of a question. The directors on site frowned. This was an expensive CD burner, and restarting it would be very troublesome. They could only hope for Yoshiko Takeuchi's on-the-spot reaction.

“That assumption doesn’t exist. My husband and I have a very good relationship. Our story is in the new book…” Yoshiko Takeuchi looked at the girl opposite her, trying to steer the conversation toward the new book.

"I see. I'm quite envious of you then. Thank you for your answer, teacher. I understand now."

The girl stood there smiling, and as she spoke, she took out a necklace from her chest, making sure that Yoshiko Takeuchi saw it.

As she fiddled with the necklace, a smile played on her lips—

His laughter was both sarcastic and provocative.
