A super-long bonus story for The Romance of Tiger and Rose. A warning before the main text: This story contains a lot of original headcanon and serious out-of-character behavior. If that bothers you, proceed with caution. A dreamy crossover (× not really) that N-fans will love (× there aren't any). A hidden love triangle (? This phrase works).
1. From the moment screenwriter Chen Xiaoqian transmigrates into the original Chen Qianqian, the original Chen Qianqian watches on with an omniscient perspective and retains all relevant memories. She knows everything she ought to know. Her feelings for Pei Heng are one-sided at first, but after the misunderstandings are cleared up, they become mutual. There's a bit of a long road to winning her back.
2. Han Shuo doesn't die at nineteen. Han Shuo is very capable. How capable, and why and how, I'll show you with a little magic trick. (On and off the screen, there is only you.)
3. The Ti Hu couple and the older sister's side story are here, as is the parents' romance. Good buddies and good friends will make random appearances. The people of Huayuan and Xuanhu will battle it out online to see who's more of a gossip, reporting all sorts of major and minor happenings throughout. You won't miss a single headline or hot topic.
4. The main storyline focuses on the original Chen Qianqian sorting out the other couples' love lives, then concentrating on her career and casually fighting a war, all while falling in love and getting married. (What are you looking at? The Third Princess is just that bold!) A happy ending for everyone.
I know my writing is terrible and I talk way too much, enough to make an ocean. Forgive my poor effort. I'll put on my helmet first and salute you. Thanks to screenwriter Nan Zhen for the character designs and details. Thanks to author Bangbangbing for the main plot reference. And my thanks in advance to everyone who loves the Chengjiao couple and the Ti Hu couple. If you love Huayuan's sweethearts, we're family!
Theme: Carrying on the original work's warm sentiments, making up for the original drama's unresolved regrets as much as possible, and striving to give the story a more complete ending
