Su Yue: "If you're only doing these things because you like me, there's no need. Yin Chengchuan, we can never be together."
Yin Chengchuan: "Friends. Even if we don't talk about liking each other, aren't we still friends?"
[Quirky Screenwriter × Sickly, Scheming Fox Spirit]
Su Yue transmigrated into the body of the daughter of an innkeeper whose establishment was on the verge of bankruptcy.
To make money, she came up with the idea of writing scripts and putting on plays to bring customers to the inn.
Her script needed a male lead, so she set her sights on Yin Chengchuan, the third young master of a bodyguard agency.
He was cool-looking and had a sickly air about him. He would be perfect for her script the moment he stepped onstage.
He agreed, asked for no pay, and even offered to cover expenses.
He paid for the theater troupe's supplies, the venue, and all the travel costs...
But the way he looked at her was always as if she were someone he'd known for many years.
Su Yue thought she'd simply lucked into a walking ATM.
Only in the end did she learn that one thoughtless act from their childhood had created a bond spanning a thousand years.
He was a fox spirit. He was living under Yin Chengchuan's identity, and he had not heard his own name for hundreds of years. He had long since forgotten it.
He had taken on that identity to repay a debt of gratitude, intending to settle the matter and then retreat to the mountains to cultivate and become an immortal.
But when he met Su Yue, one glance was enough to make him feel that something inside him had gone awry.
He couldn't tell if she was a calamity or a blessing.
At last, he drew near to her, only to discover that she was charging headlong through this world:
She wrote scripts, giving a voice to the ordinary people at the bottom of society who had no way to speak out.
She opened shops, giving women cast out of their homes a way to survive.
She even provoked the powerful and drove herself into a corner.
He killed for her, paved the way for her, and shielded her from every open and hidden attack.
Yet as she accepted his kindness, she pushed him away with tearful eyes. "Yin Chengchuan, we can never be together. I have a secret, a very absurd secret."
Yin Chengchuan simply looked into her eyes and answered calmly, "It's all right. My secret is even more absurd. Just as you said, we can be friends and nothing more."
This is the story of a group of ordinary people trying to tear a hole in the net of the old era through the plays they write.
[Reading Guide]:
1. Both leads are virgins, one-on-one romance, happy ending. The heroine doesn't know the hero's identity at first, and they both remain in the modern world at the end.
2. The supporting characters' stories will also be given serious attention. They don't necessarily exist just to serve the protagonists.
3. The protagonists are soft-hearted toward the supporting characters. The main group has principles and compassion. This is not a revenge fantasy where they retaliate against every slight.
