Su Qianmo looped her arm around Gu Chenan's as they got into the car.
Gu Chenan looked bewildered at Lin Yu across the street, then turned to look at Su Qianmo.
"Sis, what are you doing? Why are you holding my arm? I'm going to die a terrible death!"
"You don't know how cruel and vicious Lin Yu, the Dragon King, can be. Your actions have completely provoked his hatred!"
"Please be reasonable. Other than having some mental issues and being a stud, what makes the Dragon King unworthy of you?"
Su Qianmo frowned and looked back at Gu Chenan.
"I've fired Lin Yu. He's no longer my driver...I mean, there's nothing between us anymore."
"Great." Gu Chenan got into character. "How dare a petty driver try to steal you from me, Su Qianmo. He's totally overestimating himself."
[I'm done for! The leading lady fired Lin Yu decisively. Now that SOB surely hates me down to his bones!]
[Miss, can't you just follow the plot? After you join Lin Yu's harem and become one of his beauties, I can find other girls too. We won't hold each other back.]
[When I make it to the grand finale with you all married to Lin Yu, I'll give you harem sisters some pocket change. Wouldn't that be nice?]
A collective wedding for all the harem sisters and Lin Yu?
A look of disgust crossed Su Qianmo's face.
Lin Yu was going too far with a collective wedding!
The very idea was revolting!
Su Qianmo rolled her eyes.
What does he mean, after I become part of Lin Yu's harem, he can go find other girls?
Outrageous! You've been panting after me for so long, and now you say you don't love me anymore?
Or have you been acting all this time and never truly loved me?
An immense feeling of loss welled up in Su Qianmo. It felt like something had been ripped out of her chest. She could not tolerate her admirer changing hearts like this!
Just then, Su Qianmo noticed the truck full of roses and banners beside them.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Flowers for you. Do you like them?" Gu Chenan beamed innocently.
[Damn! The leading lady isn't following the plot at all. This is so awkward now that we've arrived at such a huge plot point of dissolving the engagement!]
[She looks like she wants to call off the engagement. I'm so excited! The plot is finally back on track!]
[If the female lead really proposes dissolving the engagement, maybe Dragon King Lin Yu won't hate me as much...I hope so, anyway.]
Dissolve the engagement?
Su Qianmo gave a start.
She had considered ending her engagement with Gu Chenan before. If she couldn't hear his inner thoughts, she might have already brought it up with the Gu family.
So...I'm really a character in this novel?
Back at Gu Chenan's villa, she had heard him mumbling about plot, author, male and female leads. But her mind was chaotic then from suddenly hearing his thoughts, so she didn't think too much about it.
Now, she was certain.
No, I'm me! I exist for real!
Su Qianmo refused to believe this fact.
No plot or storyline can control me! I'm not a puppet. I decide my own future!
From Gu Chenan's words, I was destined to be Lin Yu's harem girl in the original story. But now I've cut ties with Lin Yu completely. That's proof I can rewrite my own fate!
With this firm resolve, Su Qianmo looked steadily at Gu Chenan.
"The wedding is set!"
She would resist, resist her ordained fate.
Though she felt no love for Gu Chenan, the blow of her admirer changing hearts and her defiance against destiny led her on uncompromisingly.
What's more...Gu Chenan's physique, looks and temperament were all top-notch now. Su Qianmo hadn't said it aloud, but she saw it too. Letting such a handsome admirer go would be a sin!
[Damn it!]
[Are you out of your mind? You're the female lead and I'm the villain!]
[Isn't Lin Yu your destined match? Why marry me?]
[Our wedding day will be my death day! And I'll die horribly too!]
Though Gu Chenan was cursing inwardly, he had to play the besotted villain role and react with delight.
"Really, Qianmo? I'm overjoyed!"
Seeing Gu Chenan's pretense, Su Qianmo felt strangely elated.
Keep muttering for me to join Lin Yu's harem. I'm marrying you no matter what! Choke on it!
"Chenan," Su Qianmo suddenly assumed a tender look and clung to Gu Chenan's arm. "Let's hurry home. My parents are waiting for you."
[Chenan? What's she doing? Why is she addressing me so intimately? What does she mean? What is she plotting?]
[Wake up, female lead! If you keep this up, I won't make it past three chapters!]
Though Gu Chenan was screaming inwardly, outwardly he looked delighted.
"Alright, Qianmo, let's go!"
He started up his grey Lamborghini and drove towards the Su house.
Beside the road, Lin Yu saw this scene and gritted his teeth furiously. He smashed his mineral water bottle on the ground and yelled at Gu Chenan's Lamborghini, "Qianmo, just you wait! One day I will save you from the fire and water!"
...
Lin Yu then hailed a taxi to the city centre mall to buy a pearl necklace for his martial arts master Tang Yunjin's birthday.
This was the plot from Chapter 28 of the original novel.
He would meet Bai Yutian there, their first encounter in the novel besides the author's one line mentioning that Lin Yu and Bai Yutian had met once before.
Similar to the novel, Lin Yu spent a lavish 2000 dollars to buy a faux pearl necklace.
Just as he exited the mall, he saw Bai Yutian about to enter for some shopping.
In the original story, Bai Yutian had no aim in shopping. It was purely the author's setup to introduce Bai Yutian and have her meet and recognize Lin Yu, laying the foundation for her to slap Gu Chenan's face later in retaliation.
But this Bai Yutian had her own objective in coming to the mall.
From Gu Chenan's inner voice, she found out he had a preference for her slender white legs. So she decided to buy more pairs of white stockings - kitten paw patterned, white lace, over-knee white, thigh highs, she would get one of each.
Young Master Gu likes it when I wear white stockings?
Then I'll wear a different pair every day!
See if that doesn't drive you crazy over me!
Bai Yutian thought this with a little smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
