Chapter 441 – I dare not love for I fear this is only a dream (2)

Engrossed in her reading, the nearby coworker read aloud, “I dare not calculate my fate for I fear the fickleness of heavenly law. I dare not love for I fear this is only a dream. Hey, Ji Man, don't you think these words are quite interesting?”

The hand that was going to start the computer paused. Ji Man turned her head and blankly stared at her.

I dare not calculate my fate for I fear the fickleness of heavenly law. I dare not love for I fear this is only a dream.

Hadn't she just had a long dream? Fortunately, she hadn't fallen in love.

“What's wrong?” The coworker was startled by Ji Man's behavior. She quickly pulled out tissues and offered them to her. “Ah, don't cry. What's wrong? You were perfectly fine yesterday. Did you have a bad breakup?”

“How could I have a bad breakup? I'm not even in a relations.h.i.+p.” Ji Man was also stunned by her own behavior. She took the offered tissues and dried her tears. Smiling, she said, “It's probably because my eyes are feeling too tired since I stayed up late reading a light novel.”

With a face ready for gossip, the coworker looked at her and said, “Stop pretending. I've dated a lot. How could I not know what a bad breakup looks like? You're too compet.i.tive and tough. You have no idea how many people call you Abbess Miejue behind your back. You should occasionally be a bit more gentle, dress up, and go out on a date. There are so many good men out there. You shouldn't care too much about the few that upset you.”

(T/N: Abbess Miejue is a character from the The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber by Jin Yong. She is dogmatic about her views and ruthless when it comes to obtaining her goals. She stubbornly chooses to die rather than accept help from her enemy.)

“You're right.” Ji Man smiled. “It's okay. I don't care.”

Why should she care about him? He was such a playboy. She reached out to pick up her phone and realized that she had forgotten to bring it. She suddenly remembered that it was opened up to the novel that she was reading. She hadn't read the ending yet.

What would the ending look like? When she left, the soldiers had already surrounded Ning Yuxuan.

After thinking about this for a while, Ji Man opened up a browser, searched for the light novel that she had read, and skipped to the latest chapter.

“Marquis Moyu was trapped by the army. Zhao Zhe had meticulously designed this trap. He was determined to get rid of Marquis Moyu once and for all. Just as a hooked spear was going to stab through Ning Yuxuan's chest, a sound came from outside the military training field…

There was a link for the next chapter after the ellipsis. Ji Man held her breath as she clicked on the link. To her surprise, the page does not exist error was displayed!

When she clicked to the webnovel's cover page, she saw that the novel's last update was half a year ago!

The author gave up? Ji Man was furious. She looked for the author's name, but it was anonymous. She opened the website's customer service page and couldn't resist letting loose a stream of outraged curses. The customer service very apologetically told her that they had lost contact with the author after that update, so the novel remained unfinished.

There was no ending? There was actually no ending? Ji Man was so angry that she started to laugh. She flipped back and looked at the chapters that she hadn't read yet. As soon as she saw the words, she froze in surprise.

The novel had changed from the last time she read it. It was revealed that the secondary female character had faked her death. After that, her behavior was exactly the same as hers. Slowly, little by little, she had taken back the male lead's heart and pushed the female protagonist off her altar.

The author probably had no idea how to continue this novel. The female protagonist had already been replaced, so how could the author continue writing? If the author had switch the male lead, there would still be readers. But, if the female protagonist was replaced, why would the readers still read this novel?
