The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 71: Chapter 069: The Whole Family Is Top-Grade (Part 1)

The side story was one He Tiantian didn’t get to see, and naturally, she was unaware of its contents.

Yet, she could imagine it.

When she was in the novel’s world, He Tiantian knew that even if Kang Mo and He Yi were ”to become a devoted couple,” they wouldn’t possess true happiness.

People change, and love is the most unreliable thing.

At a certain moment, under a specific ambiance, Kang Mo and He Yi started to take a liking to each other.

If they were given a proper chance, allowing them to fully cultivate their feelings, perhaps their love could have blossomed and borne fruit.

But He Tiantian, the Tool Man meant to facilitate their relationship, went on strike, not only failing to die at the most appropriate moment as the plot had intended but also stubbornly clashing with them to the bitter end.

He Tiantian, sick and weakened, dragged on for over a decade, not only exhausting Kang Mo and He Yi’s passion but also adding many obstacles to their love.

As long as He Tiantian lived, Kang Mo’s numerous promises to He Yi turned out to be empty words.

And once a man breaks faith with a woman, the woman can easily become resentful towards the man.

Over those ten-plus years, time and again, conflicts arose, and even the seemingly unbreakable ”True Love” could turn into a couple filled with mutual dissatisfaction.

The fact that Kang Mo and He Yi could last over a decade, and still come together despite the fractures in their relationship, was already due to the vast power of the original script.

Having been in the novel’s world and personally experienced a ”scripted murder,” He Tiantian had a profound understanding of the power of the original script.

To be frank, this trip to the novel’s world was truly frustrating, and He Tiantian faintly sensed the script’s menacing ill will.

”Student Xiao D, have you figured out the issue with this task?”

Back in the real world, He Tiantian managed to calm her emotions somewhat before she began summoning Student Xiao D.

”...There indeed was a BUG.”

Student Xiao D spoke somewhat hesitantly, well, when He Tiantian had complained to it before, Xiao D hadn’t thought much about it, but was rather swayed by He Tiantian’s emotions, sharing an empathetic moment with her.

It was righteous in its anger, wanting to help He Tiantian seek justice.

However, once it calmed down, Student Xiao D suddenly had a premonition—Holy shit, I, I haven’t been tricked by He Tiantian again, have I?

How cunning He Tiantian is! She can find excuses to fabricate claims even when there’s nothing wrong.

Now, with the system seemingly having a real flaw, wouldn’t He Tiantian demand an exorbitant price?

”Well, the previous novel’s world, it, it was a two-star script.”

Student Xiao D stuttered as it spoke.

It didn’t completely lay everything out, but the meaning was clear.

”As an unranked writer, I was suddenly assigned a script with a two-star difficulty. That’s what you’re saying, right, Student Xiao D?”

”...Yes!”

”No wonder this novel’s world was so hard.”

”The script demanded my death, but if I had died in the novel’s world, it would’ve been a mistake, and I’d lose points. Yet, if I didn’t die, that would be against the plot, meaning task failure, and still result in lost points!”

He Tiantian feigned distress as she said, ”Tch, so I can’t live, nor can I die. Student Xiao D, you must admit, this kind of task is clearly meant to be difficult.”

Student Xiao D was silent because, really, what could it say?

It was exactly as He Tiantian described, the novel’s world was set up that way.

Of course, not without solutions!

The best course of action should have been He Tiantian’s choice—to be near death but not yet deceased, satisfying the story’s need (creating an opportunity for the male and female leads to get together) while fulfilling the character’s own wish (Tool Man didn’t want to die)!

Such a task, with its degree of difficulty, should never have been assigned to a rookie like He Tiantian.

In the end, it was a system flaw.

But, but Student Xiao D was really afraid of He Tiantian’s demanding compensation through the roof.

”Student Xiao D, stop playing dead! Hurry up and talk, how is your system going to compensate me, the poor writer?”

Unable to thoroughly relish revenge against the scumbag man and the cheap woman, He Tiantian held a bellyful of fire, finally finding a way to unleash it, and she surely wouldn’t let it go lightly.

”...” Student Xiao D closed its eyes; it just knew, it just knew He Tiantian would not let things rest.

”Tiantian, it’s not like the system did it on purpose. Plus, I’ve investigated, and although this script is a two-star script, for you, it’s actually like a bonus question.”
