Next book: The Prince Keeps Competing and Snatching
Ji Yao is a villainess in a novel and knows exactly what her role is. Her acting is first-rate.
Yan Chen is standing at the archery range, teaching the 'heroine' how to shoot, hand over hand.
Ji Yao interrupted them in a sweet, delicate voice. "Brother Yan, I can't shoot either. Could you... teach me?"
There's no need to think about it. Yan Chen will definitely turn me down.
After all, according to the plot, he's always avoided her. He can barely stand to look at her.
"All right. I'll teach you," Yan Chen said coolly. "Until you can hit the bullseye on your own."
Ji Yao: ??? Actually, I didn't really want to learn archery.
Ji Yao blushed shyly and held out a food box to Yan Chen with both hands. "Brother Yan, I brought you some pastries."
She knew this scene all too well. Going by the usual script, Yan Chen would politely say, "Thank you for thinking of me, but I'll pass on the pastries." Then he'd leave with Bai Youyi, leaving her alone in an awkward silence.
Ji Yao had already planned it all out. Once Yan Chen turned her down, she could take the pastries home as a matter of course and have a snack on the way.
But Yan Chen reached out and took the food box. "I happen to be hungry. What kind of pastries did you bring? Let me try some."
Ji Yao: ...
Why had the plot gone off the rails again?
The smile froze on the NPC's face. Male lead, are you really that hungry? Do you have to eat them right now?!
Little scene:
Yan Chen guided Ji Yao's hand to his chest. Warmth spread from where their skin touched, making her fingertips tremble.
His blood-scented breath brushed her earlobe. "Help me apply the medicine."
The way he was acting like a concubine made it look for all the world as if he were seducing her.
But she had no proof.
Theme: Refusing to be bound by a predetermined fate
Why didn't the male protagonist marry the female protagonist in an aboveboard way? Now everyone thinks that he is a lame cannon fodder and marries the female protagonist. The female protagonist accidentally married him while changing sedan chairs. He loves the second daughter, but he accidentally married the female protagonist. I am speechless... Second, he harassed the heroine in private, kissed and touched her and even went into her room. Everyone thought he liked the heroine. He insisted on taking advantage of the situation and refused to give the heroine face in public. In private, he went to pester the heroine. Did he feel that the heroine was not worthy?
Originally, I came in with the mentality of taking a look, but I was attracted by the copywriting. To be honest, I haven't read a romance novel for several years. I feel that there is not as much tension between men and women as there is between men. But from the first chapter, the writing is always online. Both the plot and the characterization are very beautiful! Unconsciously, I was brought into the picture by the big rhythm, especially the description of emotions and details is so good! Reading this feels like a lot of fun!
Why is it so similar to a novel, but that one is a modern version, by the same author?
These chapters are all full of modern vocabulary, which is too fragmented and too dramatic [rolls eyes]
It smells like a modern banquet, it's too dramatic [rolls eyes]
I hate Aichi. . . . I don't think she really means it
I thought it was a bit weird to see it here. The modern background was set in ancient times. What the hell? She has no engagement and is pretending to be a fiancée.
Yuan Zhan doesn't feel normal. Why did La Jiyao finish the task? [Rolls eyes]
I feel that there are too many rival scenes for supporting characters. Some chapters are half devoted to supporting characters. The author still needs to arrange the scenes reasonably. Obviously, the male and female protagonists are more likely to compete with each other.
She runs away from him and chases her, unable to fly without wings
