Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lu, who were watching the two sisters chatting and laughing with doting eyes, were immediately startled.
What? Praying also ends tragically? My dear daughter/sister, tell me more!
The group held their breath and waited quietly.
Lu An'an slowly recalled the original plot.
Although Lu Qiyuan is a relatively minor cannon fodder character in the original novel, I still remember her storyline quite clearly. After all, she was the most tragic female supporting character besides our family.
Lu An'an shook her head inwardly as she thought of Lu Qiyuan's fate.
[Lu Qiyuan's storyline is too heartbreaking. She's practically the most tragic white moonlight in a classic romance novel about a billionaire CEO's substitute lover who ran away pregnant.]
When Lu's father and the others heard the name Lu An'an had chosen, their expressions instantly became somewhat indescribable. They wondered what kind of work this author was writing, since it covered every genre.
[What was that CEO's name again? I think it was Xie Boze, a total scumbag.]
[Still a supporting male character who's a devoted admirer of the female lead, Lu Rongyu, on par with He Beichen.]
Lu An'an began to vividly reenact the original plot in her mind.
In the original novel, Xie Boze and Lu Qiyuan met in college. He was the student council president, and she was a freshman. The moment Xie Boze first saw Lu Qiyuan, his heart was filled with ripples. He knew that she was the most important "white moonlight" in his life, the love he most wanted to marry!
For Lu Qiyuan, he brought her an umbrella in the rain, held a light for her in the dark, and waited for her downstairs every hot afternoon, just to bring her a cup of taro boba milk tea he made himself—no taro, no milk tea, just her boba!
The group waiting for the plot to unfold: ...What should we do? I feel a little nauseous. I'm not sure. Let me listen again.
For Lu Qiyuan, Xie Boze forgot his rich second-generation status, gave up his extravagant and dissolute life, and the playboy settled down. He used all his talents to join the student council, following his beloved step by step, carrying equipment for her, organizing materials for her, all for the sake of winning her a smile that was reserved only for him.
Finally, his perseverance won over the heart of his beloved, and the two quickly fell in love. However, their happiness was short-lived, and the classic "breakup after going abroad" trope from typical CEO romance novels played out!
The group of people who listened to the heartfelt words suppressed their nausea and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally arrived at this point. If they listened to what had happened before, they would have no way of explaining why they had suddenly vomited.
[Lu Qiyuan received an acceptance letter from a top foreign university and is about to study abroad. Xie Boze, unwilling to be separated from his beloved, pleaded with Lu Qiyuan to stay. However, Lu Qiyuan had her own priorities. Faced with the choice between Xie Boze's studies and her own choice, she resolutely chose to study abroad.]
Thinking of this, Lu An'an expressed her deep appreciation for Lu Qiyuan's actions.
My third cousin did a great job with this; career versus men, career is definitely more appealing! The sound of those crisp banknotes going into your pocket is so wonderful!
Mr. Lu and the others nodded silently in agreement. Of course, making money is much better than being a scumbag!
After Lu An'an finished her comments, she continued to act as the narrator.
After his third cousin went abroad, Xie Boze went crazy for a while. One moonlit night, he stumbled out of a bar, only to be brutally beaten by his nemesis, a thug who had been lying in wait for him. Just as he lay on the ground like a dead dog, Lu Rongyu appeared out of nowhere and took him to the hospital with concern.
Upon regaining consciousness, Xie Boze saw a face somewhat resembling Lu Qiyuan's and was startled. Then, seeing Lu Rongyu's similar personality to Lu Qiyuan's, he could no longer resist the urge to act. He used Lu Rongyu as a substitute, solely to remember his beloved.
Mr. Lu and the others frowned deeply, their expressions filled with disgust. What a scumbag! A scumbag with terrible eyesight! Lu Rongyu looked wicked; she couldn't even compare to Qi Yuan's toes! Where did he get the idea that the two looked alike? Just because they share the same surname doesn't mean they look alike!
[But he didn't expect that Lu Rongyu would be just as hard to win over as Lu Qiyuan. At that point in the original story, Lu Rongyu and Gu Tingyan had already begun a tumultuous love triangle, a chase where one loved the other and the other hated. Saving Xie Boze was just a casual act after arguing with Gu Tingyan.]
[Lu Rongyu's unyielding nature reignited Xie Boze's fighting spirit, and he once again became her devoted admirer. Just as he was desperately trying to win her over, my third cousin made a glamorous return to the country. Xie Boze was shocked, excited, and torn between love and hate. He wavered between the two women, but he never expected that when he met my cousin at the Gu family's banquet, she would only see him as a stranger from school!]
Everyone: Well done! It should just be ignored!
[Xie Boze is furious again, and he's started harassing my cousin again. At this point, Lu Rongyu, having lost a loyal sycophant, realizes something is wrong. After finding Xie Boze and learning the truth, the humiliation of being used as a substitute makes her hate Lu Qiyuan intensely. So, time and again, she uses her cheap, manipulative acting to deceive Xie Boze, who seems to be blinded by filth.]
[First, they falsely accused my cousin of kidnapping Lu Rongyu, then plotted to have my cousin ruined. Afterwards, they lured my cousin to northern Myanmar, where they sexually assaulted her. My cousin barely escaped back, but before she could even begin her revenge, the Lu family was wiped out by the male and female leads. In utter despair, Xie Boze approached her again, wanting my cousin to take Lu Rongyu's place in jail.]
My poor cousin was physically and mentally devastated at that time, completely powerless to fight back, and ultimately died in prison with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
After recalling this part of the plot, Lu An'an started cursing again.
[Pah, that bastard is a real piece of work. My cousin's relationship with him is a stain on her life forever.]
After hearing their heartfelt words, Lu's father and the others, filled with righteous indignation, nodded emphatically. Yes! This idiot is just wasting air by being alive!
Lu An'an lowered her eyes, pondering the plot.
My cousin went abroad two years ago. The storyline involving Lu Rongyu and Xie Boze started when she was a sophomore in college. Now that my cousin has returned to China early, she should be able to avoid the original storyline, right?
[After all, the male lead has fallen apart, so it's normal that the plot can't continue, right?]
Lu's parents and Lu Wenjing were also drawn into deep thought by her words.
If that's the case, then the predetermined end point for everyone might change, so it seems like it's a good thing that the male lead broke down?
They were so engrossed in their thoughts that they didn't notice Lu Qiyuan, who was sitting right next to Lu An'an, and whose expression had become blank.
At this moment, Lu Qiyuan was experiencing a silent earthquake. Was what she had just heard her future?
Is such a terrible future really what she has to go through?
But how does my sister know all this, even about her interactions with Xie Boze? How did she manage that?
Her gaze involuntarily fell on the top of Lu An'an's head. Thinking of the fantasy novels she had read countless times during her youth, she felt a sense of doubt and uncertainty. Could it be... that she was the legendary chosen one?
