The end of semester one was around the corner, yet Zhao Youyue was still playing with her phone.

Wait, who is Zhao Youyue? Had this character appeared in this book before?

She really had the traits of a side character, after all; even the lolita author had almost forgotten this character who had no sense of presence…

Recently, Zhao Youyue’s state of mind was quite unpleasant. She had known that “Pure Romance” was just a fictional Two Dimensional World, in which the characters were unreal, especially their ridiculous personalities and exaggerated actions. Still, she devoted all her feelings and emotions, if not, she would not be able to make “Xu Jing” leave such a lasting impression on the readers.

However, there was a difference in nature between the time Zhao Youyue possessed “Xu Jing” versus the time an actor performed in real life. Once she had set the abilities and personality for that character, she was capable to act freely according to the character setting. She was not acting at all, but eventually became “Xu Jing” as a whole. It was just that her character would respond in a more logical, realistic way. Among works with normal character settings, the character she possessed would turn out to be just like a firefly, glowing in the dark while captivating the others.

Zhao Youyue, using her own power, was able to nourish life upon the other characters in “Pure Romance”. Not only did “Xu Jing” stand out in the crowd, but had also degraded “Yang Ming’s” fame, where people would definitely remember him forever along with that unforgettable “nice boat” ending.

On top of that, there were also Liu Sha who could handle hatchet like it was nothing, and Li Xiaotong who always had kitchen knives hidden in her pocket. They were both equally memorable, mainly because they had been too excited playing with knives towards the ending of the story, and were responsible for almost all the violent and bloody scenes in the manga…

Without any doubt, the mastermind behind the curtain was the elite scholar Xu Jing, who had planned and calculated everything.

The next character would naturally be Yang Xixi, who was always deeply in love with her own brother no matter what. This character was destined to be loathed by the readers, especially those readers who were having high expectations on the Yang Xixi and Xu Jing yuri couple. At the end of the story, Yang Xixi chose her brother’s head over Xu Jing who was willing to do anything for her, which then led to the irreversible, sad ending for Xu Jing.

This was because Xu Jing did not have any reasons to live in this world anymore. Her parents passed away, her best friend and the girl she loved had left her as well. How could she possibly still be addicted to study? She had no purpose to continue studying, even though she still admitted that she had strong passion for studies in the end…

The darkened Xu Jing, Liu Sha, and Li Xiaotong did not enjoy a good ending at the end of the story.

In short, the main characters that were created later in the manga “Pure Romance” definitely left a strong impression to the readers.

In another world, there was “Itou Makoto” this memorable character to be an exemplary model on how to become a scum. Meanwhile, there was “Yang Ming” in this world who could now be compared to “Itou Makoto”, and this was all thanks to the Zhao Youyue.

However, our precious daughter from the Zhao family had been lying low, even though she just made a huge ruckus in the world of “Pure Romance”. She did not go overboard and caused the work to crumble, in fact, she might have just transformed it into an icon. But of course she would not go around making a scene to claim that she was the one behind the source of evil and the mastermind, as she had already left everything behind while keeping her fame and reputation under the radar.
