The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 610: Chapter 249: System Calls Me to Save the Day (Part 6)

Of course, all this couldn’t be entirely blamed on the previous writer; after all, she had a mission to accomplish.

As a writer herself, He Tiantian understood the mindset: after all, it wasn’t one’s own life, so as long as you could complete the task, a little grievance or loss in the world of the novel didn’t count for much.

It’s just like the vast ranks of corporate drones, the working folks; who doesn’t have to put up with some nonsense at work?

But as long as you earn the money, you can crank out ’a riot of colors in darkness’ or ’a glorious radiance in whiteness,’ even for the most unreasonable client!

The former writer treated the novel world like a game, trying to conquer mission after mission.

Or perhaps, she treated this time-traveling experience as if she were acting; she didn’t truly accept Qiao Zhenbang and the Qiao Family but saw them merely as tools to help her complete her task.

He Tiantian had no right to judge whether the previous writer’s actions were correct or not.

However, He Tiantian wouldn’t do that herself.

She might, like the previous writer, be unable to regard a group of strangers as her relatives, but she wouldn’t treat them as NPCs or small fry.

This is a novel world, after all, and the people in this small world are alive and flesh and blood.

He Tiantian suddenly realized why the male lead had an awakening.

He had a perfect wife by his side, but too perfect, so much so that it became incredibly unreal.

People have instincts, and as the Heavenly Destiny Boy, the male lead’s were even sharper.

The male lead must have sensed whether his wife genuinely cared for him, whether she treated him as a ”person.”

Stumbling upon the ”secret” of the former writer, the truth was unlocked in an instant.

”Tiantian, so it really was the fault of the predecessor; she gave herself away, and the male lead noticed, triggering his awakening!”

He Tiantian didn’t control her inner voice, so Student Xiao D caught it clearly.

It exclaimed in surprise, with a touch of excitement, ”Tiantian, worthy of you indeed, you’ve only been here for half a day, and you’ve already sniffed out the clue!”

It’s laughable that the former writer even appealed to the system, claiming her grievance, blaming the male lead’s awakening on a system BUG.

In the end, the root cause was his fault; he didn’t even achieve the most basic ’immersive time-traveling’ experience as a writer, and he still had the nerve to suspect a system glitch.

”I’m only speculating; I can’t make a definitive judgment yet, after all, this sort of thing requires evidence!”

He Tiantian wasn’t too certain, ”Additionally, the system needs to be checked too; maybe there is a real problem!”

He Tiantian, after all, was not the male lead himself; she could not definitively determine what triggered his awakening.

The male lead himself probably wasn’t too clear about it, either.

Especially since He Tiantian spouted nonsense and even used the Dream Creation Space to give Second Brother Qiao a dream, the male lead’s brain became even more muddled.

Now, watching the ’true colors’ of his wife throw a fit in front of the family, the male lead’s expression was also a bit odd.

”This is the real Jiao Jiao, or rather, this is what a normal person’s reaction should be!”

”The past Jiao Jiao was too fake, damn it; sometimes I even doubt whether she was a reincarnated Bodhisattva. But even Buddha had Vajra’s anger!”

”Yet Jiao Jiao seemed to not know anger, no matter how outrageous her family behaved, she always smiled and tolerated, indulged them.”

Qiao Zhenbang muttered to himself.

So you see, men aren’t clueless about the wrongs women suffer at their in-laws’; he also knew that sometimes his own relatives were too much.

Yet for the so-called ’family harmony,’ he chose to turn a blind eye.

The male lead wasn’t an ordinary man; he had the bottom line and conscience of a protagonist.

Even so, during times when he should mediate, he’d often turn a blind eye.

If it weren’t for the wife being too perfect, which prompted him to feel unreal and insincere, Qiao Zhenbang wouldn’t have wasted too much energy on her.

As a result... the wife did have issues; once everything was laid out, the wife reverted to her original self.

Witnessing Jiao Jiao sharply retort both Little Sister Qiao and Mrs. Qiao, Qiao Zhenbang let out a long sigh of relief—thankfully, it was only Jiao Jiao who was behaving oddly, not the entire world.

At the same time, he was faced with new troubles—a virtuous wife reverting to a shrew, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict, sisters-in-law disputes; he, as the man in the middle, was bound to be in a difficult position, caught between a rock and a hard place.

”I didn’t make dinner, I’ve been lying in the room all this time, Second Brother, Little Sister, Mom, Dad, you all came back and just got angry about not having food, but not a single one of you went to my room to ask if something was wrong with me?”
