Depressive Screenwriter

"He's here."

Qiao Fei, who was still eating her midnight barbecue snack, immediately sat up straight.

After waiting for a week, this moment had finally arrived.

Works like "Gu Xiang Si Qu," which are related to time, time travel, and world lines, are the kind that people who like them fall in love with at first sight.

People who don't like them may not find any highlights even after watching several episodes, and may even drop the show because the plot is relatively convoluted.

Clearly, Qiao Fei was the former.

This book is first released on the entire network by 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞

In Xia Country, where there were no time-travel dramas, Qiao Fei had listed "Gu Xiang Si Qu" as her favorite of the season since the first episode aired in October.

She, who never stayed up late, had even slowly started to get used to staying up late on Sunday nights.

"I hope this episode tonight is a little sweeter! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep again."

Qiao Fei's expression was a bit conflicted.

Some things, it's better not to get into, but once you do, you can't get out until you see the end.

She didn't like tragedies, but in order to see the ending of Shen Buyan and Lu Yuan's love story, even though the plot had made her so depressed that she doubted her life several times, she still steadfastly stayed in front of the TV every week.

The theme song of the tenth episode of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" ended.

The plot continued from the previous episode. Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan discovered the oddness of Chancellor Li Yong and, through tracking him,

finally discovered that Li Yong, with the help of Northern Lie spies, had added some prohibited drugs to the sandalwood in Emperor Yuanqi's bedroom.

Ordinary people would be fine when they smelled the burning scent of these drugs, but Emperor Yuanqi, who suffered from headaches, was directly triggered by the medicated fragrance.

In the end, a new emperor who was striving for governance and full of ambition was directly turned into a foolish child.

Qiao Fei took a deep breath.

"As expected, Emperor Yuanqi became stupid from here. Until now, nothing has changed in this drama. What about Lu Yuan? Will she enter the palace?"

This was already Qiao Fei's greatest wish for Shen Buyan's third time travel.

As long as Lu Yuan didn't enter the palace, regardless of these trivial matters, it would be completely possible for her to be with Shen Buyan and be ordinary people.

With the emperor directly becoming foolish and Li Yong still the chancellor, Sheng Country, from the court to the local areas, was full of Li Yong's disciples and old subordinates. It would be courting death for the two to expose Li Yong at this time.

Moreover, in this episode, an important clue was revealed.

After Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan left the palace, Lu Yuan was preoccupied, and even a jade pendant on her body accidentally fell off.

And that jade pendant was the ancient broken jade that Shen Buyan used to travel through time in modern times.

But now, that jade pendant was complete.

"?" Qiao Fei's expression was puzzled.

So, was this episode going to fill in the pit about this broken jade?

【Where did you get this jade pendant?】 Shen Buyan asked with a surprised expression when he saw the jade pendant.

【What are you saying?】 Lu Yuan's eyes looked at Shen Buyan when she heard this, suddenly becoming very strange, very unfamiliar.

【You really don't remember this jade pendant?】

【Does it have a special meaning to you?】 Shen Buyan asked suspiciously.

Lu Yuan just looked at him in disbelief.

Various memories flashed in the drama, and Lu Yuan finally understood everything.

She finally had an answer to the many strange things she had seen in Shen Buyan during this time.

Shen Buyan's understanding of the future situation.

Even knowing that Li Yong would betray the country before Li Yong had colluded with the Northern Lie people.

She just hadn't asked these questions, but that didn't mean she didn't exist.

But now... How could Shen Buyan forget this jade pendant?

If Shen Buyan couldn't remember this jade pendant, how would he know her, Lu Yuan?

Unless...

Qiao Fei understood.

The 21-year-old Lu Yuan finally deduced that he was a time traveler from the future based on the fact that Shen Buyan didn't even recognize the jade pendant, his sleep-talking, and his accurate predictions of the future.

"No way, Lu Yuan knew that Shen Buyan was a time traveler, and she actually deduced it herself?" Qiao Fei's expression was dumbfounded.

But after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

Shen Buyan's sleep-talking revealed too much information.

Plus, he didn't even recognize the jade pendant, which was a token of their love.

Eliminating all impossible options, the only option was the correct answer.

On the other side, Li Yong ran to find Lu Yuan late at night, asking her to enter the palace to help him.

The emperor turning into a foolish child had to be concealed temporarily, otherwise the world would be in chaos.

And Li Yong most trusted Lu Yuan's character and ability.

Naturally, he wanted her to enter the palace as the palace manager, taking care of the foolish emperor's food, clothing, and living and helping him hide everything.

In this way, he, Li Yong, could sit in the position of chancellor and govern all the affairs of Sheng Country, becoming the uncrowned emperor of Sheng Country.

The same was true for Lu Yuan.

The emperor had no heir, and the only younger brother, Prince Beian, was in the fallen Fire Beacon Fortress.

If Lu Yuan didn't agree, Sheng Country would immediately face a catastrophe.

Moreover, Lu Yuan had also seen Li Yong's true colors and was determined to pretend to submit to Li Yong, accumulate strength, and confront Li Yong in the future to save Sheng Country.

It's all connected.

It's all connected.

Qiao Fei's expression was extremely wonderful at this moment, she understood.

"Damn it, screenwriter, is the male lead Shen Buyan the source of all evil?"

Shen Buyan offered advice on governing the country to Emperor Yuanqi in order to prevent Lu Yuan from entering the palace, hoping that he would not launch a Northern Expedition.

Emperor Yuanqi was appreciated by Shen Buyan and was known by Li Yong, who colluded with the Northern Lie people to murder the emperor in desperation.

The emperor became foolish.

The 21-year-old Lu Yuan entered the palace to save the country.

The 26-year-old Lu Yuan became the empress with a token to save the country.

The 36-year-old Lu Yuan surrounded and blocked Chancellor Li Yong, who wanted to escape with state secrets, in the imperial capital to save Shen Buyan and died.

The fish swims in the water, it is the tail and also the head!

Shen Buyan is that fish!

Shen Buyan's three time-traveling behaviors created the ending of Lu Yuan's death at the age of 36.

He is saving Lu Yuan!

He is also killing Lu Yuan!

I can't take it anymore.

Qiao Fei already felt a stomach ache.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

What kind of ghost plot is this?

Shen Buyan, knowing that Lu Yuan had decided to enter the palace, found her in the deep of the night with a sad expression, wanting to persuade her to escape her destiny for the last time.

【I know, you want to protect His Majesty's life, you want to contain Li Yong, but do you know that you will die if you do this.】

【I'm already dead, aren't I? Young Master Shen.】 Lu Yuan raised her head and looked at Shen Buyan with calm eyes.

【To you, I'm just a stranger in the history books.】

Lu Yuan said strange words to Shen Buyan in a calm tone.

The moment she knew Shen Buyan's identity as a time traveler, she understood how extravagant it was for her to build a hut with Shen Buyan on the Nanmeng Lake.

Shen Buyan will leave.

Even a strand of hair or a corpse will not be left in this era.

【You fall in love with someone, but you can't stay with her for a lifetime, not because of external constraints, nor because she doesn't love you, but because her past is your future. I should go.】

The words Lu Yuan said with a smiling corner of her lips made Qiao Fei's heart tremble.

Lu Yuan already understood that it was impossible for her to stay with Shen Buyan for a lifetime.

Whether she was willing or not, Shen Buyan and her could only look back at each other a few times in the long river of history.

【Let me tell you everything that will happen in the future clearly first.】 Shen Buyan still wanted to make a final struggle.

【No need. If my fate is already set, not telling me is a kind of mercy, at least, I still have expectations.】 Lu Yuan turned her back to Shen Buyan, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.

Qiao Fei looked at Lu Yuan's face on the TV and had an understanding in her heart.

"What can she expect... She can only expect one thing. In the future, she can still meet you!"

Knowing everything about the future means that all the days in the future when Shen Buyan is not in this time and space, life is bleak.

But not knowing everything about the future also means that perhaps in the next second, the next hour, tomorrow Shen Buyan can appear in front of her again.

Every day, she can greet and face it with a hopeful mood.

Lu Yuan left, walked out of the house, got into the carriage, and waited in the carriage for a long time before "Yihua" drove the carriage away from the mansion.

She was going to enter the palace to serve as the palace manager, protect the emperor's life, and accumulate strength under Li Yong, the traitor, to save Sheng Country.

The melody of the sad BGM sounded.

As the carriage drove, Lu Yuan covered her face in the carriage and couldn't help crying.

She had made a great determination to say goodbye to Shen Buyan.

She entered her palace to save Sheng Country.

She wanted to be with Shen Buyan, but it was impossible.

"Screenwriter, I thank you!"

Qiao Fei couldn't help but wipe her eyes with a tissue, but the chili peppers on her fingers from eating barbecue for supper made her tears even harder to stop.

The BGM in the drama was too sensational.

So, fate cannot be changed.

Seeing this, Qiao Fei confirmed this point.

Everything Shen Buyan did in this drama was in vain.

But in the drama, Lu Yuan cried for most of the day in the carriage, but found that the carriage had not driven into the palace. She lifted the curtain of the carriage in suspicion.

The seat that should have been Yihua driving the carriage into the palace for her had become Shen Buyan.

And he was driving the carriage out of the city.

The scene flashed, and the memory scene flashed. It was Yihua who handed the reins of the carriage to Shen Buyan before getting into the car, asking him to take Lu Yuan away and not enter the palace to spend a lifetime of regret.

At this moment, Qiao Fei was resurrected with full blood.

"I knew the screenwriter was a good person, Shen Buyan is so handsome, there is also this choice" Qiao Fei directly shouted wildly late at night.

Since he knew that Lu Yuan would die in fifteen years after entering the palace, why watch her die?

Even if this violated Lu Yuan's will, Shen Buyan would take her away from the imperial capital.

Little angel Yihua, you are so beautiful.

【Why do you accept fate, can't you have your own wishes? I really don't know what you ancient people are thinking? Why is the fate of a country on your shoulders? Isn't it good to stay away from the court and spend your life in a paradise?】 Shen Buyan drove the carriage and said loudly to Lu Yuan in the carriage behind him in the hunting wind.

【What does this world have to do with you!】

Shen Buyan's words went into Qiao Fei's heart.

Shen Buyan has told you that the future you has failed, and you will die after entering the palace, why go?

【Young Master Shen, you asked me before if I would like to build a hut with you on Nanmeng Lake.】 Lu Yuan in the drama cried with pear blossoms and rain, but still said in a gentle voice.

【My answer is, I want to.】

【Very, very, very much want to.】

【But now, only I can contain Li Yong and save the fate of Sheng Country.】

【I don't know what people in your era would do, but this is the answer of an ordinary woman in Sheng Country living at this time... Perhaps we will meet again in the future, but please Young Master Shen, don't stop me.】

Qiao Fei was shocked and speechless.

Suddenly, she felt that her idea of ​​hoping that Shen Buyan would forcibly take Lu Yuan away was so low-level and ridiculous.

Lu Yuan did not choose this doomed future because she did not know her fate.

She knew her fate, but she still chose this doomed future for Sheng Country.

There are always some things that exceed everything.

She valued Shen Buyan more than her life, and even cried so sadly in the carriage because of the quarrel with Shen Buyan and entering the palace.

But even so, she had to save Sheng Country.

A heroine with this kind of awareness made this drama transcend the pattern of small love and small love.

Knowing that she will die, is it stupid to be a moth to the flame?

Perhaps that is another kind of great courage.

Qiao Fei sniffed.

"Screenwriter, I thank your whole family for eighteen generations!"

When the plot developed to this point, all the audience had an answer in their hearts.

Forcing Shen Buyan to take Lu Yuan away again would be an insult to her.

Shen Buyan stopped the carriage, with a helpless expression.

Qiao Fei, a pile of audiences in front of the TV and Shen Buyan in the play, were all convinced by Lu Yuan.

【I'm sorry】 Shen Buyan said.

【Isn't it just entering the palace, I'll accompany you.】

Shen Buyan pulled the reins and said, the carriage turned its head towards the palace.

Qiao Fei's eyes widened.

At this moment, Shen Buyan in Qiao Fei and Lu Yuan's eyes became so tall.

He was going to accompany Lu Yuan into the palace, even if it was just as a guard, a chef...

If he couldn't build a hut on Nanmeng Lake, then they would live together in the deep palace.

This was another choice made by Shen Buyan.

He decided again to stay with Lu Yuan in this era!

"I knew the screenwriter was a good person." Qiao Fei began to praise the screenwriter Su Yan in her heart again.

On this night, the screenwriter Su Yan was alternating between the evaluation of being human and not human in her heart.

It doesn't matter if the plot has twists and turns, as long as the ending is good.

If Lu Yuan really chose the doomed future fifteen years later.

Then wouldn't it be good for Shen Buyan to accompany her through the last time of her life in this era?

That way Lu Yuan wouldn't have to wait...

21 years old to 26 years old.

26 years old, wait until 36 years old.

Then only meet Shen Buyan once and die in his arms.

This ending is too sad.

But the hope that Qiao Fei had just ignited in her heart was quickly ruthlessly shattered by the plot.

Shen Buyan, who was driving the carriage and preparing to take Lu Yuan into the palace, smiled after making a choice, but suddenly his heart tightened.

This feeling would appear every time Shen Buyan was killed and returned to modern times, or when he was recalled to modern times because he stayed in ancient times for too long.

Lu Yuan smiled and shed tears in the carriage, telling Shen Buyan what position she would let Shen Buyan take after she entered the palace.

【Wait until the end, overthrow Li Yong, reveal the truth, and then we will return to Nanmeng Lake together and live the life we ​​want...】

Lu Yan was still full of hope, telling Shen Buyan about their future, but she realized that Shen Buyan hadn't responded to her for a long time.

She noticed the carriage gradually stopping.

She noticed it was raining heavily outside the carriage.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage, and moonlight spilled into the compartment, but Shen Buyan, who should have been driving the carriage in the coachman's seat, had disappeared without a trace.

Shen Buyan, who just a minute ago had promised her that he would enter the palace with her and stay with her in the palace, was now nowhere to be found.

The scene of a person, a horse, and a carriage in the middle of the night outside the imperial capital, amidst the heavy rain, seemed so lonely and sad.

The hope in Lu Yan's eyes shattered instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

This scene was not the first time she had experienced it; her first meeting and parting with Shen Buyan was also like this.

At that time, she didn't know anything and thought Shen Buyan had left without saying goodbye.

Now she understood.

Shen Buyan was gone, he had left this era.

Next time they meet.

Who knows what day,

what month,

what year it will be.

Qiao Fei gaped.

In the living room, the ending theme of "Romance on the Rails" played.

After a long while, Qiao Fei couldn't help but gasp for breath, her shoulders shaking, both from being emotionally affected and from being angry.

Only one thought remained in her mind.

Su Yan, you old thief, you are destined to be alone for the rest of your life!
