I've wondered, too: if Senior Brother Ruo Bai had really tricked Baicao into believing he was dead, what reason would he have had? If he had really died, how would Baicao have lived? What if Senior Brother Ruo Bai had gotten surgery in time...? There are so many possibilities. This is a huge undertaking, and I've been preparing for a long time...
Note: I've watched the TV series and read the original novel, and I know it has a happy ending, but I still can't help thinking about all these heartbreaking possibilities. (Well, I can't be the only one suffering. I promised I'd put them all together.) I may write about many different worlds, and let my imagination run wild. There may be elements like being reborn or transmigrating. Some timelines may be a little out of character, so just read whichever ones you like. There will be worlds with happy endings. The heartbreaking stories come first, so after they leave you devastated, you can read the sweeter ones that follow.
While the story is updating, feel free to comment with scenes you'd like to see or suggestions for changes, whether big things like the plot or little things like paragraph breaks and punctuation. You can also point out mistakes (once it's finished, I won't be able to change it).
Enjoy reading. There's sure to be a world that suits your taste.
It's been 11 years. After all these years, I don't have much sincerity to write about White Rabbit. Personally, I think there are very few articles with high quality and good writing. I have read many articles but I always feel that they are not interesting. Although I have only read more than one volume of this article, I sincerely feel that it is well written. I hope you will do well. We are lucky to have you in the White Rabbit Party.
I really like the author's big words about Brother Ruobai. He can describe how much Brother Ruobai paid for Baicao when she didn't know about it. Such good authors are rare.
