"My novel's protagonists are Li Xiangru and Qin Yexiu. You know the synopsis, but your unexpected appearance has disrupted all my plans."
Speaking of this, Luo Yu Shi sounded a bit aggrieved, "Originally, I wanted to write a story about a reborn woman seeking revenge, slapping faces, and ascending to power. But as soon as you showed up, many readers left comments complaining that Li Xiangru's name sounded like 'mushroom'."
"And that 'Greed, Anger, Ignorance, Hatred, Love, Evil, Desire' you came up with is worse than 'One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven.' Do you know how many people have messaged me to change the name, and some even abandoned the novel because of it!"
Li Yueshu looked at her with her eyes half-closed, "Don't you think this name has deep meaning?"
"Deep *pfft*..." Luo Yu Shi met her gaze, and the words stuck in her throat. "Heh heh, whatever makes you happy."
This woman's eyes were so terrifying. Would she kill her?
Luo Yu Shi shrunk her neck. "Um... I can go over the whole thing for you."
She spoke cautiously, "The heroine of my book has always been Li Xiangru. But later, you kept snatching her opportunities. Even if I finished writing some plot, it would become your story when published the next day."
"As it progressed, your appearances became several times more frequent than Li Xiangru's, and you directly became the protagonist of the latter half of the story."
Mentioning this, Luo Yu Shi became annoyed. "I tried many methods, but I couldn't stop it. Even the male protagonist, Qin Yexiu, had his storyline stolen by the man you fancied. I was so angry that I directly arranged the plot in Guanzhou, but then..."
Luo Yu Shi's words suddenly caught in her throat.
Li Yueshu already knew what happened next.
Her gaze turned slightly cold, "So, at Da Geng Mountain, you wanted to take my life and Ah Yuan's?"
Sensing her murderous intent, Luo Yu Shi quickly leaned back in her chair, "Qin Moyuan was always destined to die. As for you..."
Luo Yu Shi swallowed. "You have the space, so you wouldn't die so easily. I just wanted to give you a warning, to stop you from harming my male and female leads..."
Her voice grew smaller and smaller, while Li Yueshu's expression became colder.
"In your eyes, because they obstructed your male and female leads, Ah Min and the others had to endure so many cruel things and become the despised major villains? And Ah Yuan and Aunt Mo couldn't live well?"
As she spoke, she cradled her swollen belly with one hand and took a scalpel from her space with the other.
Seeing this, Luo Yu Shi felt as though the top of her head had gone cold.
She threw down the plush panda, stood up, and then...
*Thump!*
She knelt down!
Li Yueshu hadn't even reacted when her thigh was grabbed.
"I was wrong! Terribly, terribly wrong!"
Luo Yu Shi looked up, tears streaming down her face, "I apologize, I repent, I'm not human, please don't kill me..."
Faced with Luo Yu Shi's sudden act of kneeling and confessing, Li Yueshu almost dropped the scalpel.
Luo Yu Shi cried with great sorrow, "Actually, I regretted the Da Geng Mountain plot afterward. Although you are all just paper figures in my writing, from your perspective, it's your most real life."
"I, overlooking you from a higher dimension, was blinded by greed. But I came to my senses later, so I directly abandoned Li Xiangru and Qin Yexiu in the latter half and let you two become the protagonists. I really tried to make amends!"
Li Yueshu really wanted to kick her away, but considering the child in her belly, she dared not make too large a movement.
However, she dangled the scalpel in front of Luo Yu Shi, and indeed felt the grip on her leg tighten.
Li Yueshu's lips curved slightly, "You really tried to make amends?"
Luo Yu Shi nodded repeatedly, but glancing at the scalpel before her, she added weakly, "There's one more small reason, which is... after you became the protagonist, the subscriptions increased."
No author could resist the temptation of increased subscriptions and royalties.
If there were, it would only be because the increase wasn't significant enough.
Li Yueshu: "..."
She tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Since I became the female lead, why did Xuan Cheng Zi say that if Li Xiangru dies, the world will collapse?"
Luo Yu Shi cautiously glanced at her scalpel and explained, "That world exists because of Li Xiangru. She is the center of the entire world. Even if her protagonist halo disappears, her causal relationship with that world still exists."
So the "cold, gleaming knife" described in the novel was real.
How terrifying!
Li Yueshu's brows furrowed, "Everyone dies eventually. If she lives to be a hundred, will that world still collapse because of it? And why did I come here?"
