Chapter 27: Is the Plot All Real?

“Heh heh... Finally completely redeemed, and even aligned with reality. Now it makes sense why Yu Shou is a gentleman in the real world, and Yu Ling’er has been tormented to death and back. The reward should be good...”

At this moment, Ye Xuan was satisfied with his completed script. Although... in the script, his character seemed somewhat weak. But without that, how could he redeem himself and make the female lead fall for him? It’s just a script after all; a bit of self-torture is understandable.

However, just as Ye Xuan decided to end the story, the scene continued...

“Your sacrifices for Yu Ling’er have moved even me,” said Beidou Star Lord. “But... it’s not possible. I don’t have the power to change people’s hearts. I can’t make Yu Shou a true gentleman as you wish.”

Ye Xuan: ???!!! “System, why are you adding your own plot twists?”

He asked the system. In the real world, Yu Shou is a gentleman, and if there’s no reasonable explanation for why, won’t it be obvious to Yu Ling’er later on?

“The host seems to underestimate this system’s capabilities,” the system replied. “Do you think the script you wrote was just to deceive the female lead?”

“Isn’t it?” Ye Xuan asked.

“The stories generated by this system based on the host’s script are all real events. The host in the story is you yourself,” the system explained.

“What?!!” Ye Xuan was astonished. “I... the me in the story is me? Why don’t I feel it?”

“Because the events of the story are your future. Once you finish editing all the scripts, the system will send you to the original future world to participate in those events. Only after completing the future storyline can you return to the present,” the system said.

[Translator : This acting out the storyline thing will only happen for one chapter in fact it’s even one sentence. He just goes to the scripted world and come back that’s it don’t worry it will not go for multiple chapters lol. I was about to drop translating when I saw that the story will deviate to this but nope he just comes back and done in this chapter.].

“...” Ye Xuan was dumbfounded. “So you mean... all the ‘storylines’ are actually real events that will happen in the future, involving me personally, recorded by your capabilities from the future and played back now?”

“Exactly,” the system confirmed.

“So...” Ye Xuan asked incredulously, “Why didn’t you tell me this important information earlier? I arranged so many tragic plots for myself. If I had known, I would have written some good plots for myself.”

“The system’s power is limited and cannot deviate too much from the original world,” the system explained. “Otherwise, the system would simply make the host an omnipotent creator god. Why bother with these complicated matters? Your script is quite reasonable, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been only at the grand finale that an unreasonable plot appeared.”

“...” Ye Xuan nodded. It seemed he had no choice but to act in this drama. Since the story had come out, it meant the future was already fixed. If he had to act, he might as well use it to test his acting skills.

“Ding, the host’s villain script is completely finished. Would you like to start the script world?”

“Yes, let’s start the show—!” Ye Xuan replied.

In the next moment, Ye Xuan entered the script world. Although it was several decades in the script world, it was only a moment here.

Just a moment later, Ye Xuan returned from the script world.

He mused to himself, “Just like the system said... I didn’t feel anything, just went to act a bit and came back... I can’t believe I was such a deeply emotional character in the story. Looks like my acting skills are indeed exceptional... I was worried about torturing myself too much in the script... In fact, every time I had to perform a deeply emotional scene, I almost burst out laughing...”

Meanwhile, Yu Ling’er was still watching the scene unfold in the story. Tears streamed down her face, and even breathing felt painful. She owed Ye Xuan so much, far too much.

“In the story, Beidou Star Lord said to Ye Xuan, ‘I can’t fulfill your wish. You can make another wish.'”

Watching his own actions in the story, Ye Xuan felt awkward... He seemed to have not acted the sense of loss quite right. Fortunately, Yu Ling’er didn’t notice at that moment. She was completely overwhelmed by her emotions.

Her eyes were glued to Ye Xuan in the scene, eager to see what he would say next. Of course, all her actions were in the form of consciousness, as her body was still in a state of time suspension.

“Then, Ye Xuan said, ‘If so... then can you make me not fall in love with Yu Ling’er in the next life? Loving her... it’s just too painful...'”

“——!!!!” Yu Ling’er gasped deeply, her heart feeling like it would explode. How much pain must he have endured to make such a wish? No, it can’t be, I haven’t compensated you yet, how can you just give up on me like this?!! In this life, I’d rather betray the world than fail you again—!!! Ye Xuan, wait for me, I’m coming to save you—!!!

“Beidou Star Lord, please don’t grant his wish—!!!”
