Zhao Youyue had created the character "Xu Jing", who was a silent, expressionless and emotionless elite scholar. As "Xu Jing" walked towards the sea in the ending of "Pure Romance", she barely felt a thing and even wanted to morbidly laugh at it.
This was because she already knew the ending beforehand. After all, there was nothing to be depressed about if you are the one who had orchestrated the ending. Since she already knew the ending of the story, there would not be much impact if she relives it from Su Li's comic in reality…
Anyhow, Zhao Youyue was rather uninterested in harem manga such as "Pure Romance". Moreover, Su Li's ability to storyboard was horrible. She became Su Li's fan, not because of her work. Instead, she had acquired the ability of "Addiction to study" through Su Li's works, which she needed badly.
