Chapter 442 (1/2)
Perfectly Cleansed
This brainless novel was simple, crude, carnal. Zhao Youyue certainly would not put Su Li the great killing weapon to use. Su Li would die of brain death before she finishes
Zhao Youyue braced herself, bit down the embarassment, and shut down portions of her brain to bulldoze through the pages. This was how she charged through anything unfavorable coming from the “Two Dimensional Gate.” After all, she needed to complete a book before she could deliver her final verdict upon it.
She could immediately abandon some works and save herself time.
“God Level Leader” was one such tasteless piece. At most, it gave the writer just enough to survive. It was absolutely impossible for this work to be outstanding. Nothing could be salvaged from the plot, and no character cards would probably accompany Zhao Youyue on her way out.
Therefore, it was truly unnecessary to continue wasting her time.
At that moment, Zhao Youyue took hold of “An Youyou” and started taking her first steps to death.
Before seeking death, Zhao Youyue had to do something to clear up the readers’ misunderstanding of the capricious, arrogant Lady An Youyou. What could she do?
Actually, it was very easy. She only had to treat the male protagonist nicely. These sorts of works played the “reader stepping into the shoes of the protagonist” card extensively. Therefore, the male protagonist must not even have one bad moment. Beautiful female characters must fell in love with the male protagonist. If not, they would be considered as highly toxic. Still that same sentence, “Within harem kind of works, supportive characters had no mating right!
An Youyou was blunt and forthcoming. Her true self, was her only self. Anyway, the male protagonist had rescued her from the gangsters once. Thus, it also made sense for her to repay him Most male readers thought that the best way would be to join his harem. At the same time, her family could end up as another pillar of support for the protagonist.
But how could Zhao Youyue possibly allow these readers to have it their way?
The best flowers were most often a finger’s breadth out of reach!
Zhao Youyue put An Youyou’s character settings to full use and portrayed the image of a domineering gentleness with her “true, unpretentious” behavior. She made a point clear, “I go to nightclubs, but I know that I’m a good girl.”
What was considered a good girl? Let’s not talk about that in real-world terms. Within novels, as long as a female character did two things, she was a good girl. Firstly, she had to be beautiful. Secondly, she only cared for male protagonist. In that case, her personality would be of no consequence whatsoever – even if she was a manic serial killer. The readers would defend her themselves. They would be glad to induct yet another “Yandere”[1] in their library of anime girls.
An Youyou had already shown her irritable side in the past. With Zhao Youyue taking the wheel she maintained the tongue clicks and annoyance that the character showed in the past, but treated the main protagonist all too differently.
Readers would be most content with how things were turning out. Wasn’t this how they wanted to feel, if they were in the shoes of the protagonist?
“I Love to Eat Pumpkin Pie” was only in it for the marketability. He would most certainly approve of such a development
Zeng Dawei had used his mind reading technique to read An Youyou’s mind. He realized that this Lady was far too simple-minded, albeit stubborn. She only thought about repaying his kindness.
Zeng Dawei’s perspective towards this Lady slightly changed. He originally thought that this Lady would most absolutely look down on him, since he once belonged to the bottommost echelon of society. He had not expected this lady to be so, genuinely grateful
Of course, Lady An Youyou still treated the others with disdain, pretending to be very proud. Her attitude was completely different – only when treating the male protagonist.
She repaid his kindness in various ways, such as giving him expensive, rare presents, disclosing high-level intel to him; even introducing to him to powerful figures that would serve his future well. She had single-handedly turned him into a legitimate threat in the vast world of elites and corrupt diplomats!
