A Top-Tier Green Tea Actress Enters a Dating Reality Show - Chapter 65.1

The rain was still pouring outside with a clattering sound, and there was an inexplicable oppressive feeling in the air.

“Even if you went abroad, you still had to come back eventually.”

The CP System was silent for a moment before saying, “Because you are the white moonlight in the original novel, even if you left, you were destined to return to the country to participate in the show.”

“This is the irresistible force of the Plot God.”

Yes.

Because of the Plot God’s irresistible force, Qin Yue ultimately had to return home, open Pandora’s box, and run into Meng Ziqing.

“Heh, exactly,” Qin Yue sneered, a cold flash of sarcasm in her eyes. She emphasized, “Fifteen years later, I still came back, all because of the Plot God’s irresistible force.”

Qin Yue had originally intended never to return. She had completely forgotten Meng Ziqing and was doing very well overseas.

Without the Plot God’s irresistible force, they clearly could have lived their own peaceful lives.

But without her, the original novel’s plot could not proceed.

Like Meng Ziqing, she was a crucial character in the original novel, tasked with driving the plot between Gu Yang and Su An’an.

Because the plot had to happen, the white moonlight was forced to return to the country, and after a series of emotional entanglements, she would be turned into a ‘grain of rice’ a nuisance, be universally hated online, make a messy exit, and accept her fate of growing old alone.

Because the plot had to happen, the vicious female supporting character was forced to fall in love with Gu Yang during the dating show, uncontrollably act like a ‘green tea’ to scheme against Su An’an, and then die in a car accident.

Finally, even her family would completely decline due to her failure, serving as a stepping stone for the male lead Gu Yang’s family to ascend to a higher level.

This was the destined ending for them as the white moonlight and the vicious female supporting character.

But why?

Why couldn’t they have the happiness they deserved?

Just because they were assigned to fixed roles?

Just because they were not the protagonists?

There is no such logic in the world.

Even with the original novel’s Plot God in place, they should have the right to independent selfhood.

This was the right they deserved.

Qin Yue took a deep breath, maintaining a calm mind to avoid an impulsive move that would kill Gu Yang and lead to another regression. Her neat, shoulder-length short hair swayed slightly with her movement, casting a distinct silhouette on the wall through the dim yellow light.

The rain outside intensified, and fierce raindrops mixed with tree branches and leaves battered the window, the incessant crackling noise continuing. The dark night sky was crisscrossed with lightning, as if the hotel’s weak light was flickering precariously amid rampant demons, unable to protect itself.

“If it weren’t for what comes next, I would definitely kill Gu Yang when I get back.”

Under the faint light of the room’s bedside lamp, Qin Yue’s clear, cold voice carried a hint of murderous intent, making the room feel strangely chilling.

To Qin Yue, Gu Yang was born with original sin.

If it weren’t for him, she and Meng Ziqing would have had a beautiful family, a complete childhood, and a lifetime of being childhood sweethearts, never to be separated from their younger years through school and into marriage.

How ridiculous.

Whether it was Qin Yue’s loss of her mother at a young age or the near collapse of Meng Ziqing’s family business, all their lifelong regrets and deficiencies were simply to serve the original novel’s plot.

Even Su An’an, the female lead, was separated from Jian Weilin, the male secondary lead, whom she should have gotten together with in college. In the original novel, she suffered emotionally and physically, had a car accident and a miscarriage. Yet, in the end, she was forcefully made to turn back and forgive Gu Yang just because he bowed his head once—only then did they have their so-called “happy ending.”

Why should Gu Yang not die?

He deserved to be cut into a thousand pieces!

“The meaning of the system’s existence is to help important characters break free from the plot’s constraints and become independent selves,” the CP System said in a deep voice, though its surrounding light seemed a little dimmer. “The true establishment of every minor world begins with breaking away from the original novel. As systems, we have different mission functions, but the core mission is to help important supporting characters awaken their independent consciousness, thus starting the first step of the minor world’s independence.”

“If you kill Gu Yang, you will once again trigger the world’s consciousness and accelerate the plot to its ending,” the CP System disapproved. “You know the consequences of doing that.”

Accelerating the plot’s progression meant Qin Yue would end up alone after the dating show.

Simply because Meng Ziqing’s fate as the vicious female supporting character in the plot was death.

Inevitable death.

“Of course I know. Dealing with Gu Yang must wait until after the dating show is over and the original novel’s ending point has passed,” Qin Yue turned her head to look at it, the corners of her eyes having somehow turned red.

“Right now, Meng Ziqing has already sent Gu Yang in [to the mental hospital], and if nothing unexpected happens, Su An’an, the female lead, will also end up with Jian Weilin, the male secondary lead.”

“Everything in this timeline is moving in a good direction.”

Qin Yue consoled herself this way.

In this regression, she and Meng Ziqing had no regrets.

But truthfully, Qin Yue wanted to remember the first three timelines, yet she also intensely did not want to remember them.

Because—

Qin Yue had personally witnessed Meng Ziqing’s three deaths.

Three times in total, she had watched Meng Ziqing die.

The car accident that was forcibly triggered by the original plot’s ending in the first timeline.

In the second timeline, which regressed to college, she vacillated between Qin Yue and Gu Yang due to the plot’s irresistible force, feeling immense pain from being unable to sort out her feelings. Finally, during a graduation trip to Tibet, a quarrel with Gu Yang at the edge of a cliff led to her falling…

And after she remembered the memories of the first two timelines in the third timeline, which led to her mental breakdown, she smiled in an abandoned factory, personally set the factory on fire, and died along with Gu Yang.

Qin Yue trembled and closed her eyes. The scene of Meng Ziqing’s suicide in the third timeline was still vivid, playing out before her like a movie scroll.

Qin Yue couldn’t hold back anymore and got up, heading towards the bathroom.

The faucet was turned on and pushed to the coldest setting.

Ice-cold water was mercilessly splashed onto her face by her slender hands. Her pale cheeks immediately turned red from the cold, but this chilling sensation still failed to calm Qin Yue’s thoughts.

She slowly looked up and simply braced both hands on the edge of the sink, quietly watching her wet hair stick to her cheeks, with timid tears still welling up in her eyes.

After a long time, she exhaled a mouthful of stale air and, in a rare moment of self-release, let her usually straight back and shoulders slump.

The CP System had very few comforting words in its vocabulary. After searching for a long time, it could only stammer, “Don’t take it to heart. In this timeline, you have everything, and you love each other. Look forward.”

Qin Yue raised her slender hand and fiercely wiped away the tears on her face. Her voice was hoarse from the soreness in her throat. She sounded like she was talking to her reflection in the mirror, yet also answering the CP System’s question. “No, you know what? In the past, I always thought she hated me very much.”

“She must have hated me especially.”

“Hated me for abandoning her when we were little, hated me for dragging her back into this when we grew up.”

The woman’s voice sounded abrupt and eerie in the slightly empty, dim bathroom, like the voice of a wandering soul.

“She wanted revenge on me. She wanted revenge, so she killed Gu Yang and then committed suicide right in front of me.”

“Otherwise, why would she choose no other day but that particular day…”

Hot tears streamed down Qin Yue’s eyes again. The things she most desperately did not want to remember felt more and more like a demon trying to break through a seal, roaring to escape.

“That day… was our wedding.”

“Qin Yue!” the CP System stopped her. “Stop talking! All that is in the past!”

The CP System’s voice was stern like never before; it’s usually light mechanical tone was much heavier. But Qin Yue remained absent-minded, unable to escape from her own memories.

“In the third timeline, Meng Ziqing must have planned everything. She has always been smart, and her thoughts were meticulous even for such an act of revenge.”

Qin Yue counted on her fingers, one by one.

“She’s a wedding dress designer, yet she insisted on a Chinese wedding, and even personally designed our xiuhefu traditional Chinese wedding attire. She personally arranged the wedding venue, and even the band for the procession was personally arranged by her. She paid close attention to every detail, changing the flowers at the wedding over ten times.”
