Chapter 128: 127 I like ’reunion’ happy-go-lucky stories!
Ginsengfruit couldn’t help but chime in when he understood the comparison in Yun Ran’s heart: "Host, I now understand what it means to be the tallest dwarf."
In Ginsengfruit’s eyes, Yun Jinyang was no good either.
"People with money and power usually can’t easily empathize with others. Yun Jinyang is relatively straightforward—at least he doesn’t look down on people while trying to squeeze every last drop of value out of them."
The young ladies sitting across from her noticed that despite their straightforward talk, Yun Ran still remained indifferent.
They felt offended, by someone who wasn’t even qualified to be their lackey, and a surge of nameless anger arose.
One of them threw two high-quality cards down in front of Yun Ran with a playful look in her eyes.
"We’re playing a new game, why don’t you give it a try~"
The remark was unclear, but without guessing, it was obvious there was a trap waiting.
Especially when Yun Ran saw their ambiguous smiles, she was even more certain—fortunately, she was fearless.
She picked up one of the cards, which had only a few lines written on it. Yun Ran immediately wore an expression like a grandfather on the subway absorbed in his smartphone.
The young lady who had handed Yun Ran the card was very pleased with her reaction and went on to explain with a laugh.
"This game is called ’Life By Design!’"
Just hearing the name, Yun Ran sensed that this so-called game was filled with a twisted sense of humor—who would want their life to be designed by someone else?
"These are snippets from random novels we found online. The rule of the game is that we set the course for the rest of the ’life.’ The person we select must then live according to what we write down."
"Seriously, are these women sick in the head or just crazy bored? Wanting to control someone else’s life. It’s so unlucky for those chosen by these lunatics."
The woman who had spoken continued, "These two cards extracted from ancient-language novels are for you. You’ll definitely fall in love with the joy of control, of designing life."
By this point, Yun Ran’s gaze had turned icy cold.
Zhao Mingzhu had invited her not merely to suppress and manipulate her but also to use these young ladies of similar status as a warning to her.
She wanted to show Yun Ran that people like them, at the top of the wealth pyramid, could play with others’ lives as easily as flipping a hand.
Anyone else would have probably been terrified by such threats, and would not even dare to join their game.
If they thought this would scare her, they were underestimating her.
Yun Ran, having transmigrated into the book, looked at these people who thought they could control others’ lives, not realizing they themselves were like paper dolls—quite laughable, really.
Yun Ran laughed out loud and looked again at the two cards thrown in front of her.
The first card excerpted a novel called "After Carrying the Ball, the Marquis Is Busy Chasing His Wife."
The female lead is a transmigrated woman who becomes the beloved consort of the Marquis.
The original cruel wife, who is also the daughter of merchants and the Marquis’s equal wife, although the Marquis Mansion has declined, she is at least the Marchioness.
But she is not content and not only persecutes the female lead, but also threatens the Marquis with her dowry.
The female protagonist pitied the childless Marchioness and gave her own child to the latter to raise, only to find that the Marchioness was still innately vicious.
In the end, they had no choice but to confiscate the Marchioness’s dowry, ruin her family home, preventing her from continuing her wicked deeds, and imprison her until death.
Even though it was just a few simple sentences, Yun Ran seemed to sense the life of bitterness and unwillingness underneath these words.
"Ginsengfruit, you said, the world we are in now is a novel world. Do you think the people in other novel worlds also have flesh and blood?"
[It depends on the circumstances. The novels in my System that could form their own small worlds did so because they produced their own rules and had their own Heavenly Dao.]
Yun Ran immediately understood Ginsengfruit’s meaning.
Her gaze shifted to the several young ladies: "I’m quite curious about this kind of game too, but I don’t like tragic endings. I prefer ’united family’ happy-ending stories!"
Having said that, Yun Ran changed the plot, allowing the miserable Marchioness to be reborn. Those melodramatic and twisting plots weren’t necessary; it was better to just get directly to the point.
The plot quickly turned into the Marchioness spending 100,000 taels from her dowry to hire Assassins disguised as bandits, who not only castrated the male protagonist but also crushed his lower body.
She then kidnapped the female protagonist and married her off to the male lead as an equal wife, also buying several inherently bad children to adopt for the couple, ensuring they lived together in familial love.
Now, doesn’t this become a HE happy-ending family reunion story? The entire family, together and complete, the Marchioness happy, and the male and female leads also ’happily’ living together.
Yun Ran was very pleased with the ending she had provided for the characters in the novel and then showed the changes she made to the others.
"Ladies, what do you think?"
Having said that, she didn’t bother waiting to hear their real opinions and directly picked up the second card.
[Host, aren’t you afraid they’ll turn on you and throw you out?]
"Don’t talk nonsense, they are all people of status, how could they haggle over this with a young girl like me!"
Yun Ran wasn’t feeling any sense of eerily calm madness, as she continued altering the next novel.
This second novel segment was a serialized work, titled "My Childhood Love is the Emperor."
The malicious supporting female is the only little princess of the current Dynasty, desperately clinging to the top scholar, obsessed with him, going mad for him, banging her head against the wall for his sake.
The female protagonist is the scholar’s childhood sweetheart. For the sake of having his beloved by his side in a legitimate manner, he took advantage of his Prince Consort status, staged a successful rebellion.
He crowned his childhood sweetheart as his Empress, and side by side, they stood high on the platform, pointing at the landscape, while that foolish little princess was hung alive on the city tower as a warning to those old officials and remnants.
Even after the previous morally questionable novel, Yun Ran was still angered by these male and female leads, what kind of nonsense!
Immediately with a cool revision!
The little princess was reborn, didn’t even have time for a meal, and sent the top scholar to the bed of the fine-man Crown Prince overnight. She also sent his childhood sweetheart to serve as the concubine to the Crown Prince.
After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the top scholar became the first ever male imperial concubine since the Dynasty was established, and the female lead was a female imperial concubine. The pair, originating from the same place, became competitors, sitting on equal footing, loving and killing each other. ƒreewebɳovel.com
How could this not be considered another sort of pinnacle reunion of mutual companionship?
