Zhao Youyue and Su Li certainly did not expect things to take such an unexpected turn!
This seemed unrelated to the girls, but Shi Jingnian had burnt himself because he was messing around with fire, and his fickle heart had caused all this to happen...
If only he had never messed with Lu Xue, he could still be writing on Lin Shiya's behalf, but there was no point mulling over things, now.
There was a saying that "personality determined fate." Shi Jingnian only reaped what he sowed. Obviously, Zhao Youyue was responsible for his behavior too. If Zhao Youyue had not provoked Shi Jingnian's interest towards "rich lady types," he certainly would not have messed with Lu Xue.
Zhao Youyue was the siren that had led his ship to its demise. Perhaps when she acquired the iconic character cards, she would also absorb the "main protagonist's halo," and of course, bring success to that particular literary work.
Tonicquill: This man…has issues. I mean, do you even have a term for his condition? It’s like. Reverse Stockholm Syndrome? (Ok. I just dropped by Google – Reverse Stockholm Syndrome is called Lima Syndrome/London Syndrome. It does not suit this Shi Jingnian’s condition. He could be best described as having John Wayne Syndrome? Although that term is mostly reserved for combat vets)
