#49 - Chapter 49: History that cannot be changed

The camera switches to the other side.

Having recovered Fire Beacon Fortress and returned to his long-missed hometown, Lu Shi is at his childhood home, taking care of the baby Chu Tongshang with his beloved Yi Hua.

But near the house where the three are, a large group of assassins in black are slowly approaching.

The Northern Lie Army has already been repelled, so where did so many people come from wanting to kill Lu Shi?

Soon, the camera switches, and Li Yong, still in the imperial capital, provides the answer.

These masked assassins were sent by him, "his own people" mixed in with the army.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to know Lu Shi's movements so clearly.

Lu Shi noticed something was wrong, calmly closed the front door, and locked Yi Hua inside.

He then took his sword and walked out of the house, facing the large group of assassins alone.

He couldn't let the assassins into the house.

Xiang Fan's eyes widened.

No way?

It can't be this kind of plot, right?

Lu Shi and Yi Hua are such a good couple, Old Thief Su Yan, you're not going to cut them, are you?

At this moment...

Xiang Fan suddenly remembered something.

In the first episode of "Ancient Love Song," when Shen Buyan met Yi Hua in the palace, Yi Hua was dressed in plain white, and Shen Buyan specifically mentioned that Yi Hua should grieve, because the custom of the Ancient Sheng Kingdom was that if a loved one died, they would wear plain white for ten years.

"Could it be that the reason Yi Hua appeared in the first episode, which is ten years later, dressed like that is because Lu Shi in the fourth episode really died?"

The more Xiang Fan thought about it, the more panicked he became.

The following plot is the strongest fighting scene in the drama "Ancient Love Song."

First of all, Lu Shi's prototype in "Ancient Love Song" is basically based on Su Yan's past life ancient famous general, the Marquis of Champion, Huo Qubing.

Brave in battle, with extraordinary martial power, a god of war-like existence, and then... the same early death.

Although Su Yan, in this drama, plays Shen Buyan, who is just a weak modern man.

But for filming, Lu Shi's face shots can be given to the participating actors, but the fight scenes...

Su Yan can completely act as a martial arts stand-in.

"Ancient Love Song" in its previous life had too little funding, poor production quality, and war scenes and fight scenes completely lacked texture.

And now, the picture on the TV instantly made Xiang Fan's eyes widen, not daring to miss a single shot.

An intense Rurouni Kenshin-style fight scene rushed towards him.

Lu Shi faced the hundreds of assassins attacking the house behind him, fighting to the death and not retreating, the sword wounds from sneak attacks gradually increasing, the enemies even despicably smearing poison on their swords.

But Lu Shi still raised his sword and struck down, brave and invincible.

This fight scene explained to Xiang Fan what a god of war is.

But he wasn't excited or passionate at all.

Because he understood that the screenwriter Su Yan was preparing for Lu Shi's death.

The BGM, the plot atmosphere, and the expression on Lu Shi's face all revealed a desolate aura.

He was seriously poisoned and on his last breath, but he leaned against the house door, not allowing these assassins to rush in and do any harm to Yi Hua and Chu Tongshang in her arms behind the door.

Yi Hua in the house wanted to rush out to help him, but she was blocked by his back against the door, not allowing Yi Hua to rush out.

Blood spread at his feet, the number of assassins became fewer and fewer, and the number of corpses falling at his feet became more and more...

This scene was tragic and touching.

Xiang Fan's eyes were red as he watched.

Lu Shi was bound to die.

Finally, Shen Buyan and Lu Yuan, realizing something was wrong, rushed over...

The terrified assassins hurriedly retreated.

Lu Yuan then personally witnessed her younger brother being shot with dozens of arrows and covered in sword wounds, yet he didn't fall even in death, standing in front of the gate and smiling as he breathed his last...

"I'll go to his grandpa's, is the screenwriter out of his mind? Is it necessary to have this kind of plot?" Xiang Fan couldn't help but curse.

The fourth episode had just become sweet, and he had just tasted the sugar of the Lu Shi and Yi Hua CP.

The fifth episode immediately sent him knives.

Lu Yuan's painful cries in the play were accompanied by a sad BGM, and Xiang Fan's eyes were red as he watched.

At this moment, a bunch of Xia country viewers sitting in front of the TV watching "Ancient Love Song" became angry.

Targeting both the screenwriter Su Yan.

And targeting the villain Li Yong in the play.

Lu Shi was his adopted son!

Just because he felt that Lu Shi's prestige was too high and threatened him, he did this kind of thing?

The assassins who killed Lu Shi were also disguised as people Li Yong bought off in the army?

This beast, no wonder Lu Yuan was so wary and hated him in the first episode.

Not only a traitor, but also killed Lu Yuan's younger brother.

But fortunately, only Lu Shi died.

At least Lu Yuan was fine, and she didn't become the empress either.

Xiang Fan relaxed a little thinking about this.

How easy is it to achieve a 100% perfect ending?

The main plot of this drama so far is that the modern man Shen Buyan, through time travel, changes Lu Yuan's fate of being framed, bearing the name of a demon empress, and dying at the age of 36.

Although Lu Shi died, but...

Xiang Fan had just felt a little relieved when the following plot made his expression stiff.

Lu Shi died, and the residents of Fire Beacon Fortress, which had just been recovered, immediately showed signs of mutiny, wanting to escape from the city.

The reason is simple, the Sheng Kingdom's commander Lu Shi is dead, then the Northern Lie Army, which had just retreated, will definitely return to attack Fire Beacon Fortress.

Similarly, the commander is dead, and the army under Lu Shi's command is in complete disarray.

At this time, Lu Yuan hasn't recovered from the pain of losing her brother and immediately has to take over this mess.

If the people of Fire Beacon Fortress and the army under Lu Shi's command are not united to resist the Northern Lie Army now.

Then Lu Shi died in vain...

"No way?" Xiang Fan suddenly realized something.

The plot continued to advance.

【Who are you? What right do you have to command here?】The excited and fearful people in the city shouted madly at Lu Yuan.

Including the soldiers, their eyes were full of distrust of her.

【I am General Lu Shi's older sister...】Lu Yuan said.

【You are General Lu's biological sister, not General Lu himself, what's the use of believing you? Who do you think you are? Open the city gate quickly, we want to escape from the city】

After sufficient production funding, the Xia country version of "Ancient Love Song" filmed the war scene atmosphere very well.

The city was in a mess, with corpses, rotting meat, and even dogs eating corpses everywhere.

Although Xiang Fan was very angry, he had to admit that if he were these people in Fire Beacon Fortress who had been abused by the Northern Lie Army, he would definitely want to escape.

The people's panic.

The army is on the verge of mutiny because of the commander's death.

Lu Yuan stood on the city wall watching this scene, the light in her eyes instantly dimmed...

The BGM of the original soundtrack "Heart Sigh String" of the "Ancient Love Song" TV series sounded.

The sad and tragic tune made Xiang Fan tear up in an instant.

Lu Yuan's eyes changed from expectation at the beginning to loss, and then to firmness.

On the TV, flashback scenes appeared.

Her pretending not to know Shen Buyan at the beginning of this second time travel.

To replacing Shen Buyan as bait, and finally surviving on the battlefield and embracing Shen Buyan.

Then, after the two fought a big battle, they agreed in Fire Beacon Fortress that after recovering Fire Beacon Fortress this time and repelling the Northern Lie Army, they would return to the imperial capital and return the empress token that Emperor Yuanqi gave her five years ago, and spend this life with Shen Buyan in this era, in Fire Beacon Fortress, on South Dream Lake...

The scene of her younger brother Lu Shi's tragic death.

The reality that the soldiers and civilians in the city are on the verge of mutiny now.

Xiang Fan teared up.

He had almost guessed what Lu Yuan was going to do.

【I know that once I choose this step, I will be destined to die tragically ten years later, just like Lu Shi's fate...】

Lu Yuan's inner monologue sounded.

These are the future that Shen Buyan told her.

【But since I chose to be an enemy of Li Yong five years ago and chose to save this country, I will neither regret nor escape.】

These inner monologues are what Lu Yuan wants to say to Shen Buyan, who is not on the scene at this time.

【It's just... when I was in the position of the palace manager in the palace, I still couldn't help but look forward to, look forward to one day when His Majesty recovers his sanity, I clear out Li Yong's party... and recover the Sheng Kingdom's territory. And we, just build a thatched cottage on South Dream Lake and return to our former home】

【However, this is ultimately just a mirage. A big dream...】

Tears appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes, and her eyes were red.

She can't keep her promise to Shen Buyan.

Lu Yuan took out the token representing the empress's identity and raised it high.

This scene directly broke Xiang Fan's defense.

Her making this choice also means that she can't be with Shen Buyan in this life.

At the same time, it also represents that she accepts her fate of dying ten years later.

If the price of changing history and being with Shen Buyan is that Li Yong completely sells out the Sheng Kingdom and the Sheng Kingdom perishes...

Then she is willing to become a demon empress who is spurned by history, and is willing to accept her tragic fate.

As long as she can save these miserable people in Fire Beacon Fortress at this moment...

Shen Buyan finally realized something was wrong and rushed over at this time.

Looking at the Great Sheng Empress Lu Yuan on the city wall, Shen Buyan's eyes became sad.

He didn't change history, Lu Yuan became the empress, and Lu Shi also died.

At this moment, many soldiers and civilians in the city don't recognize whether the empress token in Lu Yuan's hand is real or not, and everyone is hesitant.

Shen Buyan took a deep breath.

As the emperor's appointed military supervisor, after Lu Shi's death, his every move represents the emperor.

Shen Buyan stood still.

One on the city wall, one under the city wall, their eyes met at this moment...

【Shen Buyan, haven't you seen this destiny yet? Everything cannot be changed, why do you bother to persist?】

【Lu Yuan, no matter what the destiny is, I only remember what I said to you, I will stay in this era and defeat Li Yong with you, I will never break my promise!】

The two didn't speak, but the exchange in their eyes had already said everything.

Shen Buyan lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he knelt down.

As a modern man, Shen Buyan naturally has no respect for the ancient imperial power.

But because he helped the emperor a lot in the second episode, and in order to change Lu Yuan's fate, he pestered the foolish emperor and obtained the position of military supervisor.

Shen Buyan is the spokesperson of the foolish emperor in Fire Beacon Fortress at this moment, taking the lead in kneeling down towards Lu Yuan, his behavior is equivalent to directly acknowledging the legitimacy of Lu Yuan's empress status.

At the same time, it also represents that he respects Lu Yuan's choice.

She must really want to, really want to be with Shen Buyan, just the two of them living together like this.

But compared to the broken Sheng Kingdom people, she abandoned her selfishness.

The people in Fire Beacon Fortress who wanted to open the city and flee and the army in disarray calmed down at this moment.

Looking at Empress Lu Yuan on the city wall.

A palace dress, the strong wind blowing her hair, a stunningly beautiful, but with a firm face, the picture freezes.

The interlude BGM stops, and the ending song of "Ancient Love Song" sounds.

Episode 5 ends.

Xiang Fan sat on the sofa, and he didn't move for several minutes.

At this moment, his heart is a little empty.

Through the foreshadowing of the previous four episodes, this drama presents the fate of Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan, a couple struggling in the historical turbulence, in front of him.

I thought Shen Buyan's second time travel could change fate, but...

Lu Shi still died, and Lu Yuan still became the empress.

Could it be that in this drama, fate cannot be changed?

Then isn't this drama destined to be a tragedy?

Thinking of this, Xiang Fan was angry.

To hell with fate.

It's okay if my fate as a working animal in reality cannot be changed, can't it be changed in a TV series?

What a joke?

Whether fate can be changed or not is just a matter of the screenwriter's pen?

Old Thief Su Yan, you haven't finished writing the ending plot yet, right?

Xiang Fan took out his laptop and opened the official promotion page of "Ancient Love Song" on the Sakura website.
