Chapter 12 It's all back to normal
The male lead is gone, and Lin Liu is starting to have a headache. How is she going to write the rest of the story? Is this supposed to turn into a sweet romance novel with a strong female lead?
Sure enough, Liu Mingyue was still savoring the happy life of the male and female protagonists in the previous chapter when she read this chapter and the male protagonist suddenly died.
"No, what happened? How did the male lead die? How did he fall off the cliff?" Liu Mingyue was full of questions.
She quickly tipped him two taels of gold and then left a comment asking what happened.
After hearing the new chapter, Old Lady Liu also felt it was a bit far-fetched; the male protagonist's death was too hasty.
Although she hoped the female lead wouldn't find a man and would make good use of her superpowers, considering the death of the head of the household, she couldn't say anything. She only commented "Condolences" and then continued to monitor the growth of the sweet potatoes.
The writers who were keeping a close eye on Lin Liuyi were somewhat bewildered.
"This... this can be written like this? How can the plot progress without the male lead?"
"Who cares about her! Didn't you see the rich woman gave her another tip? This kind of writing is definitely right! Maybe the rich woman likes this kind of plot!"
Although everyone felt the plot was a bit off, they still wrote their male lead to die, following the same storyline.
Suddenly, a batch of novels on the Shizi website appeared to have all their male protagonists disappear, leaving readers completely baffled.
Everyone couldn't help but watch it over and over again, wondering if they had missed any plot points, or why the male lead suddenly disappeared.
Who knew that precisely because of this, many authors saw their novels' data soar the next day and even more convinced that following Lin Liu's lead and killing off the male protagonist was the right choice.
Little did she know, Lin Liuyi was currently having a headache over the upcoming plot, and even Liu Mingyue's reward wasn't as appealing anymore, not to mention her questions.
After thinking it over, she continued writing that the male protagonist actually received a mission suddenly and had to fake his death in order to complete the mission under an assumed name.
However, after he left, the female lead, Su Mingyue, realized that she was pregnant, and she decided to raise the fruit of their love.
After writing all this, Lin Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief. This should make sense, right?
The male protagonist has a compelling reason to do something, and adding a cub allows the story to continue with the female protagonist and the cub, making the narrative less abrupt.
Inside the Marquis's residence, Liu Mingyue was still anxiously waiting. Why hadn't the author replied to her yet? How could such a good male lead suddenly die?
"Miss, it's time to head to the flower viewing party at the Princess's residence!"
Liu Mingyue was in a state of confusion at the moment. If her maid Caixing hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten that she was supposed to attend the flower viewing party at the princess's residence today.
She suppressed her frustration and said, "Let's go!"
At the flower viewing party, Liu Mingyue was absent-minded.
She would frequently show the book to see if the author had replied to her. Finally, she saw Lin Liuyi's reply comment: "It's necessary for the plot."
If it's necessary for the plot, then it means the male lead might not necessarily be completely gone.
Thinking of this, Liu Mingyue finally felt relieved. She thought to herself, how could such a good male lead just die like that?
"Mingyue, why didn't you go to admire the flowers with the other young ladies?" Just as she was secretly pleased, a handsome young man walked up to her and asked.
Liu Mingyue came to her senses and recognized the man in front of her as the Third Prince of the current dynasty.
She smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I'm just a little bored."
The Third Prince smiled and said, "Why don't we take a walk together?"
He extended his hand, inviting Liu Mingyue to stroll together in the garden.
Liu Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head in the end.
"Men and women should be kept separate. Your Highness, Third Prince, you should find someone else to join you. Mingyue will take her leave now!"
After politely declining, Liu Mingyue left the place, found her close friends, and joined the group to enjoy the flowers.
She sighed. The Third Prince was handsome and had a distinguished air about him. He was the kind of young man that all the noble ladies in the capital wanted to marry. However, her father had long ago instructed them not to get involved in the royal power struggles. The Marquis of Wu'an's family was a staunch supporter of the monarchy.
Enough, enough, let's just enjoy the flowers. The peonies in the princess's mansion are truly a riot of color.
The rejected third prince suppressed his smile and clenched his fists.
One day, these ungrateful people will pay the price they deserve. Thinking of this, he slowly loosened his fist, put on a harmless smile again, and went to find other companions.
After the flower viewing party ended, Liu Mingyue couldn't wait to open the latest updated chapter while sitting in the carriage.
Seeing Lin Liuyi's explanation and the fact that the female lead was pregnant, Liu Mingyue was completely relieved; finally, there was good news.
However, she then thought about how difficult it would be for the female protagonist to raise the child alone in the future, so she generously gave her two taels of gold as a reward, hoping to improve their lives.
Grandma Liu was dissatisfied with the recent plot developments. How come a man had just died, and now she was left with a child? It was already too much for a woman to raise a child alone.
While complaining, Grandma Liu also gave him a round fan as a reward.
When her husband passed away, she raised three children alone, and she knew all the hardships and struggles that went through.
She said that having a man or a child was a burden, and that living alone was much better.
To be fair, Grandma Liu's mental state is still quite advanced.
When Princess Mingyue saw the new plot, she was initially extremely dissatisfied. What happened? Wasn't the male lead supposed to die? Why are they bringing him back? And how did he end up with a child?
She really wanted Lin Liuyi to change the plot, but interstellar law stipulated that all newborns are the future of the interstellar space, and no one may harm them.
Therefore, even if she was dissatisfied with the plot, she could not go against her conscience and let Lin Liuyi erase the child, even if it was just a fictional character existing in the story.
After convincing herself to accept the child's arrival, Princess Mingyue felt that having a child was a good thing. She wondered who the child would resemble in the future, whether it would look more like her or Marshal Ye.
At this moment, she regretted it a little. Why did she let the male lead die? How sad it would be for the child to grow up without a father.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but give three more tips and leave a message to help the mother and daughter live a better life.
Seeing his reward, Lin Liuyi finally felt completely relieved. Indeed, the cubs were the ultimate weapon.
Meanwhile, the writer who was closely following her story also discovered new plot points and quickly updated them in his own article.
As a result, another batch of novels featured a new offspring after the male protagonist's death.
Readers on the Shizi website feel that the articles written by their authors are getting more and more outrageous. Is the plot starting to go down the path of abandoning the father and leaving the son behind?
