    Reader note

    It's really good, it feels like it's broken through the dimensional barrier! ["Finally found you... The protagonists of the story." "I can see the reality of the world." "It seems I didn't even manage to become one of the protagonists in the end."] [She saw many comments on the forum expressing sympathy for her. From her parents to Shan Qing, everyone's love for her was conditional, as if no one had ever truly loved her.] Jiang Xingni suddenly smiled. It wasn't her usual gentle, warm, and faint smile, as if separated from the world by a thin veil. Instead, it was sharper, more in line with Jiang Xingni's age. Triumphant, sharp, and spirited. "I know many people think I don't have many admirers, that I'm pitiful, that it seems few people can love me wholeheartedly, whether it's my parents or others." "But there's no need." She knew that outside the comics, in higher dimensions, beyond the countless cycles of her fate, there were indeed people who truly loved her. "Being loved by you is enough." Jiang Xingni didn't need too much love. She needs freedom, she needs the wind, she needs everyone to be happy, she needs to help as many people as possible. Jiang Xingni doesn't need that much love. But she has already received it. Even across the dimensional barrier, some people shed tears for everything Jiang Xingni has gone through, some are willing to take time out of their lives to see her, and some are willing to spend their hard-earned money for her. Jiang Xingni has nothing to repay them with. She doesn't believe their love will last long. For them, there are far too many two-dimensional characters like her, far too many characters like her who are like moths drawn to a flame, willing to sacrifice themselves for certain ideals. Jiang Xingni doesn't think she's qualified to be among countless two-dimensional characters who deserve the frequent glances and attention of readers beyond the comics and beyond the words. She also knows very well that after this tear falls, there will always be new people who will make them cry. She never expects anyone to give her everlasting, never-fading love. —Given that her biological parents, the author and screenwriter who created her, didn't love her, Jiang Xingni had long since given up on expecting any enduring love from anyone. She didn't care about the love others gave or withdrew. But this moment was real. The love she received now, the sadness her readers felt for her, the money and emotions they spent on her—everything they had given for Jiang Xingni was real. Jiang Xingni always felt indebted. She had nothing to give back to them, yet she had taken so much from her readers—she wanted their love, their tears, and their sacrifices. But at least, Jiang Xingni thought, she should convey something. She knew it was just a comic book, but… she already knew this, and at least she should thank them. She didn't deserve so much love from them, only to have her favorite character die in the end. "Thank you for liking me." This light, fleeting thank you drifted away on the wind. He Jingtong didn't hear it; he only vaguely saw Jiang Xingni's lips move. Finally, Jiang Xingni closed her eyes in peace, awaiting her inevitable judgment. [Jiang Xingni was indeed grateful for the readers' love, and equally guilty for the love, tears, and time they had given her, but she couldn't reciprocate in the same way. But that was all. If Jiang Xingni were to turn the rest of her life into a comic strip, displayed before readers, she would absolutely refuse. She would rather die than have her fate controlled by the plot, nor would she want her life to be pointed at and observed by strangers. "How can I cut off the prying eyes of the upper narrative?" Jiang Xingni asked her parents. "The threads of the comic strip are connected to every member of the main characters, and the last one is you," Ji Hanzhang said.] A golden halo shone in Jiang Xingni's eyes. She used her palm as a blade, slashing towards Song Juexiao. —Nothing happened, at least from %E5%AE's perspective. In the real world, however, Song Juexiao's name suddenly turned into gibberish, and the scene from her perspective went black in an instant. Jiang Xingni ignored Song Juexiao's strange gaze and continued walking towards the next person. Xu Niannian wasn't the main character, but why did she have lines on her? She'd just slash her. Lu Xianqing and Lu Ming? Perfect timing, no need for her to search for them, she'd just slash them. Su Yanzhi arrived just in time; Jiang Xingni didn't even need to spend time traveling, she'd just slash him first and then take a ride… In the real-world comic, the originally complete comic, scene after scene, gradually went black. One name after another turned into gibberish. [Wait? Why am I getting pirated treatment when I'm reading the official version?] [Haha, even pirated copies don't get this kind of treatment, I'm getting to enjoy it!] [Maybe this black screen and gibberish is the real deal for the legitimate copy? Pirated copies have nothing, how boring, it's hilarious!] [So it was Jiang Xingni's doing again? I'm really speechless. In a way, the scriptwriters designed it quite cleverly, there are quite a few characters who break the fourth wall, but Jiang Xingni is the first to truly ruin the comic.] [Who's next, Xiao Jiming?] ... Indeed, it was Xiao Jiming, who was placed second to last before Jiang Xingni. After severing the spying threads connecting Xiao Jiming, the entire comic went completely black, not even gibberish could be seen. In the entire comic, only Jiang Xingni's face could be seen. She smiled and unplugged the network cable and turned off the computer. She rested her chin on her hand and looked at the readers outside the screen. Jiang Xingni said, "I'm truly grateful to you all for accompanying me through this time." "But I'm sorry, you can't continue reading the rest of my story." "Maybe I'll continue to university? Maybe I'll fall in love? Who knows?" She laughed. "But anyway, my story is over, and I'm free now." She cut the threads binding her. And so, the comic turned completely black.
