Chapter 157 (1/2)

She could give up everything

To gain more powerful abilities, she would not be a side character anymore once she enters the novel’s world.

She would not consider possessing the female protagonist, unless it being a powerful character, while having the potential of becoming an iconic character. If the character’s personality and abilities have already been fixed, it would be difficult for Zhao Youyue to manipulate the character’s actions.

Ling Meiyue was the female protagonist in “Beautiful April.” Even though Zhao Youyue adored and felt as if the character was her spirit animal, she did not have that divine talent in music. At her best, she would be at the same level with Zhao Youyue in real life. Thus, why would she choose to possess the female protagonist?

Besides, the female protagonist was an introvert, where she would get nervous and shy easily. This kind of girl might get sympathy from guys, but she did not want to become all meek and timid when she activates her character card. She assumed that her socializing skills was not that bad. At the very least, she would not get nervous all the time.

Ruling out the “sure-win” option that the female protagonist had, the first choice for Zhao Youyue would be to possess those side characters with impressive abilities in the novel. If you manage these side characters well, it would be easy for them to become iconic characters, as long as the novel gains popularity from the readers.

As for those average side characters, if Zhao Youyue messes up their settings and makes them too powerful, it would definitely earn the unwanted attention from the author. Why could the side characters be so powerful?

That was also the reason why Zhao Youyue gave herself only one ability “addiction to study” when she possessed Xu Jing in “Pure Romance.” It allowed her to study silently in an isolated corner.

Actually, “Pure Romance” was a novel that had no possibility of becoming an icon. If we are talking about the level of creation, Su Li would be lacking in a little as a rising mangaka. She could not match the level of Rosemary or the current Leng Zi. However, she was very good at drawing erotic scenes, so she invested all her skill points into drawing that.

It was a difficult task for Zhao Youyue to turn “Pure Romance” into an iconic novel. She should be grateful that the market was overflowing with clich romantic novels, so that her anti-clich novel “Pure Romance” was able to stand out. By utilizing techniques such as dark, depraved characters, cleavers, and a nice boat, she created an iconic novel.

Hence, she would not possess Wang Yan, the bestie of the female protagonist Ling Meiyue who was just average in music.

Actually, Zhao Youyue felt that something was wrong with this character, Wang Yan during the ongoing chapters in issue number five. She was progressively sidling up to the male protagonist – Gu Yuan. She found out about the male protagonist from the female protagonist Ling Meiyue, and even knew the nickname she gave Gu Yuan – curly haired classmate. This was due to the male protagonist Gu Yuan not taking care of his image and always coming to class with an unkempt mop on his head. Perhaps this would be a characteristic of a musician.

Moreover, Leng Zi specifically mentioned that her bestie, Wang Yan had a side of “always wanting what others want.” For example, she would always ask innocently, “That’s nice, can I have some?”

Originally, Zhao Youyue had a positive image towards the character Wang Yan because she was very friendly, cheerful and innocent. However, once she realized that she had the potential of becoming the third wheel in a relationship, she became extremely cautious of her.

It was evident that the female protagonist Ling Meiyue should ditch such a boyfriend-snatching bestie!

Zhao Youyue had become a loyal guardian angel for the typical protagonist couple. The interaction, coincidence, the blushing exchanges between the couple had been giving off the right vibes for her. This is indeed the taste of first love, along with the power of innocent and beautiful youth!

It was because that Zhao Youyue did not expect to fall in love in real life; hence she wanted to protect this couple from the bottom of her heart. However, both of the protagonists did not have an opportunity to deepen their relationship any further. This made people very anxious, and the more anxious people get, the more they wanted to read on!

Zhao Youyue was very sure that she had fallen in love with this novel. In other words, she would not make a ruckus in this novel, because she wanted the story to become more, and more popular. The ideal situation would be the protagonists getting together as a couple, while she crafts an iconic character card from the side character – Chu Luoxun.

Maybe she should give up everything she had to help the protagonists?

Everything, which also meant her life, was included.
