Yan Yue immediately provided Xiao You with the answer in the film.

“Sulin’er’s expression had a momentary blankness. Soon she denied, ‘I’m sorry, sir, you’ve mistaken me for someone else.’

Han Daqiang, who had been hesitating, became resolute when he heard Sulin’er speak. He firmly held Sulin’er’s hand and said, ‘A Zhen! You are A Zhen! Why are you here? Wait, why did you suddenly leave back then? Was it because of my engagement to Jiang Qing? Why couldn’t you believe that I could handle that situation?’

Sulin’er, however, shook off his hand in a panic and said, ‘I’m sorry, sir, you’ve really mistaken me for someone else. I am not Su Zhen.’ With that, she turned and ran.

Han Daqiang was stunned, and then he realized something. He quickly chased after her, but Sulin’er was already far away, leaving behind only a necklace with a ring attached to it – Sulin’er’s neural device.

Han Daqiang, who had picked up the neural device, was so excited that his hands were trembling. He muttered to himself, ‘You are A Zhen! You must be A Zhen!’

At that moment, Sulin’er, who had run away, also realized that her neural device had fallen. She hurriedly returned, saw the neural device in Han Daqiang’s hand, and snatched it back from him.

Han Daqiang hadn’t expected her to come back, his eyes turned red as he embraced her and murmured, ‘You still say you’re not! This is the neural device I gave you! A Zhen, I’ve been looking for you for so long…’

Sulin’er stood there stunned for two seconds before pushing Han Daqiang away. Tears still glistened in the corners of her eyes from the recent fruit-throwing incident involving Jiang Qing. She looked at Han Daqiang, her gaze determined, and told him, ‘I’m sorry, but you’ve really mistaken me for someone else.’

With that, she left without looking back, leaving Han Daqiang alone in the same spot…”

At this point, something quickly flashed in the scene, and then the camera switched to Jiang Qing’s hospital room.

At this moment, Jiang Qing’s side was also bustling with activity. Xiao You hadn’t fully recovered from the massive amount of information, and she saw the appearance of the last protagonist from the film cover.

Indeed, apart from the female lead Su Lin’er, the most handsome male android in the entire film! The character he portrays is named “Lie Yan Zhe.”

Before Xiao You could even appreciate his appearance, she saw Lie Yan Zhe holding the male lead’s mother’s hand and giving her a kiss, a sound that was so loud that it even echoed in her ears…

Xiao You: “…?”

Xiao You: “?????”

“??? !!!”

“What the hell?!?”

“I haven’t even fully processed the scene where the female lead and the male lead’s father just happened, and now what’s this stimulating thing?!”

“What should I do? The more I watch, the more excited I get! Are Jiang Qing and Han Daqiang both having affairs??”

“Is anyone here? Can someone tell me if Su Lin’er is really Su Zhen? I’m getting a bit dizzy.”

At this moment, as Xiao You was still extremely excited about the plot, she saw this comment and quickly replied: “Definitely not! How old is Su Lin’er? And as for why she doesn’t recognize her biological father, it’s definitely something her mother instructed her to do!”

Even the usually composed Xiao You couldn’t help but use exclamation marks in her comments!

This was too exciting, the plot was just too thrilling!

However, in the next scene, Yan Yue told her that there was even more excitement to come.

“As an excuse to go find a doctor, Han Cheng actually went to look for Su Lin’er, but he couldn’t find her. Feeling dejected, he returned home and saw Lie Yan Zhe feeding his mother water with his head lowered. Han Cheng was surprised and said, ‘Yan Zhe, why are you here?’

Lie Yan Zhe’s expression changed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. After putting the water glass back on the table, he bent his eyes and said to Han Cheng, ‘I just came to visit a friend at the hospital. I heard Aunt Jiang’s name from the nurse, so I came to see her. What’s wrong with you? Aunt Jiang is so seriously ill, how could you leave her alone in the hospital room?’ Lie Yan Zhe’s tone was full of disapproval towards Han Cheng.

Han Cheng felt a bit guilty and said, ‘I went to ask the doctor about my mom’s condition, and besides, you’re here, right? You’re my good brother, with you here, what do I have to worry about?’

Hearing this, Lie Yan Zhe smiled helplessly. The hand that had dropped down discreetly sneaked under the blanket and intertwined fingers with Jiang Qing…”

Seeing this, Xiao You’s adrenaline surged for some inexplicable reason.

The bullet comments also went crazy –

“??? I don’t know how to express my current feelings for a moment. Clearly, it’s Jiang Qing who’s cheating, why is my heart racing so fast!”

“This is too outrageous! Having an affair with his own son’s good friend! I’ve never seen something so stimulating in my life.”

“Han Cheng, look quickly! Your brother is seducing your mother!”

“Han Cheng, wake up! While you consider him a brother, he’s thinking of being your dad!!!”

The bullet comments were filled with astonishment at how Yan Yue managed to craft such an outlandish yet strangely reasonable plot due to genetic mutation. Of course, there were also quite a few negative comments accusing Yan Yue of seeking attention –

“The progress bar is almost halfway, where’s the war? Where’s the hatred??”

“What’s going on with the reviewers? How can such trash be allowed to be released??”

“Yan Yue is just completely acting up, right? You’d better leave the show soon!”

“I’m laughing so hard. How can this trash even deserve promotion from my Qin Brother? Have some shame!”

Seeing several negative comments suddenly popping up in the bullet comments, Xiao You couldn’t help but furrow her brows. She keenly caught a few keywords, but she wanted to continue watching the film for now and didn’t have the time to deal with this group of people. She decided to report the comments instead.

After being reported, the inappropriate comments indeed reduced significantly, and the screen became calm again. Xiao You continued to immerse herself in the plot, feeling quite content.

However, she soon sensed something was off because the next plot twist made her feel a bit familiar…

“After Han Cheng sent Lie Yan Zhe out of the hospital room, he didn’t leave. Instead, he had a conversation with a mysterious person.

Lie Yan Zhe: ‘She got me a new flying vehicle.’

The mysterious person, whose voice had been altered, replied, ‘From now on, whatever you get from Jiang Qing’s side, consider it yours. I don’t want anything.’

Lie Yan Zhe smiled with a wicked expression, ‘I know, as long as she’s ruined, left with nothing, understood, understood.’

The mysterious person chuckled coldly and ended the call.

Lie Yan Zhe then turned and entered another room not far away. Once inside, things heated up between him and a female patient in this SVIP room.”

This plot twist caught all the viewers off guard. Everyone thought that Jiang Qing and Lie Yan Zhe had genuine love between them, especially since within the first half-minute after Lie Yan Zhe left, Jiang Qing noticed a crack on the control ring of his flying vehicle. Taking advantage of her son not paying attention, she secretly slipped a star coin card into Lie Yan Zhe’s hand. Lie Yan Zhe didn’t want it, only concerned about her health, so Jiang Qing directly shoved the card into his pants pocket and even affectionately patted his… backside.

Seeing this pat on the… backside, even if Yan Yue had made the male androids look good, it made quite a few viewers feel nauseous. Patting someone’s backside right in front of her own son, that was just too much!

Looking at Lie Yan Zhe’s face, which was now flushed, it seemed like this was still true love.

The audience was just lamenting over how a naive girl like Su Lin’er fell into the clutches of the villainous woman when suddenly, in the next moment, they witnessed another twist involving Li Yan Zhe. He discreetly contacted a mysterious person. Moreover, after this secretive conversation, Li Yan Zhe smoothly transitioned into entering the rooms of several wealthy female patients. While this segment lasted only a short minute, it solidified Li Yan Zhe’s character in an instant.

As a fellow scriptwriter, Xiao You understood the challenge of establishing a character’s persona in such a short time frame. However, she couldn’t dwell on that thought now. She found the scenes of Li Yan Zhe deceiving rich individuals strangely familiar.

A term popped into her mind: “Pig Slaughter Plate.”

She had heard this term from her assistant, and it was associated with her sister-in-law’s experience. Her assistant had mentioned that just two months before she returned to take over the family business, her sister-in-law had fallen victim to a scam called “Pig Slaughter Plate,” losing a significant amount of money.

Xiao You had asked her sister-in-law about the incident, but her sister-in-law had brushed it off, claiming it was a family matter and she should mind her own business. Besides, with her company being busy at the time, she hadn’t bothered to get involved.

Seeing Li Yan Zhe’s scam unfold before her eyes, Xiao You felt she needed to intervene on her sister-in-law’s behalf. After all, the family’s fortune was at stake.

Realizing this, she made a mental note to visit her older brother’s house after finishing the film. But as she refocused her attention, she noticed there were only seven minutes left in the movie.

In the minutes she had drifted off in thought:

[After receiving the mysterious person’s promise, Li Yan Zhe began systematically extracting money from Jiang Qing, including but not limited to various properties, aircraft, and mechas.

On the other hand, Han Daqiang remained engrossed in his pursuit of his “lover,” neglecting his own wife. He only video-called Jiang Qing once after she withdrew millions of star coins from his account, and she skillfully used an excuse about her mood to evade the issue.

Strangely, neither side detected anything amiss, or perhaps they did notice but didn’t care.]

Xiao You quickly caught up on the missed plot points. She realized that watching a work by Yan Yue demanded her full attention every single second. Each moment held crucial scenes and vital information.

In the final seven minutes, Yan Yue delivered yet another incredible twist:

Su Lin’er was hospitalized with late-stage renal failure, and upon learning this news, Han Cheng decided to donate his own kidney to her!

In this moment, Han Cheng, though relieved that Su Lin’er was his sister, felt he could save her by donating his kidney…

Seeing the current scene, even Xiao You felt sympathy for the main characters. Just as the barrage of comments said, they loved each other deeply, but in the end, fate played its tricks, and circumstances conspired against them.

Xiao You joined in with the other barrage comments, expressing her “sobs.” However, it seemed that Yan Yue wouldn’t let this touching moment linger for too long…

[Upon learning that her son intended to donate his kidney to Su Lin’er, Jiang Qing’s vision darkened, and she fainted. Upon waking up, she discovered that her son had already gone to undergo **matching. After Jiang Qing found out, she went madly in search of her son. However, Han Cheng’s mind was made up, leaving Jiang Qing with no choice but to approach Su Lin’er.

In this moment, Su Lin’er displayed her helplessness.

Su Lin’er: “I tried to persuade Ah Cheng as well, but he wouldn’t listen to me. There’s nothing I can do.”

Jiang Qing, filled with anger, grabbed Su Lin’er’s hair. However, to Jiang Qing’s surprise, Su Lin’er grabbed her hair just as forcefully.

A physical struggle erupted between the two.

Su Lin’er managed to kick Jiang Qing away. As she saw Jiang Qing panting on the ground like a dog, she smiled gently and said, “Ah Cheng really does love me. What can I do? Even if you kneel down and beg me now, I still can’t convince him.”

Jiang Qing, perhaps driven mad by desperation, was solely focused on her son. Upon hearing this, she immediately knelt down, tears streaming from her eyes. However, just as she was about to plead, her eyes widened in disbelief as if she had seen a devil!

“No! No! No!” Jiang Qing muttered these words repeatedly, seemingly entranced.

Su Lin’er, however, gave a disdainful snort and chuckled, “Jiang Qing, did you ever dream that one day you would kneel before me?”

The scene shifted here, to the male lead’s perspective.

Hearing the conversation between the doctor and the male lead, Xiao You thought, “???”]

With this sudden shift, even those viewers who had refrained from commenting throughout the film couldn’t stay silent anymore!

【???】

【?????】

【What kind of mind-blowing twist is this again!】

【Oh my god! From the beginning till now, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve exclaimed “Oh my god”!】

【Huh? What do you mean by “they’re not biologically related, not a match”? What’s the doctor implying? Are the main characters not siblings?】

【Just a moment ago, when Jiang Qing confronted Su Lin’er, I couldn’t even catch my breath! I knew something was off about Su Lin’er’s sudden change in demeanor. She didn’t seem at all like the gentle and weak character from before!】

【Clearly, Han Cheng didn’t tell Su Lin’er about their shared parentage, and the matching process was done secretly. No wonder Su Lin’er seemed so aware earlier; were they all just acting?】

【So what’s the truth? What was Jiang Qing saying wasn’t right?】

【Does this mean that the main characters aren’t siblings anymore? Are these two lovers finally going to be together?】

【Are they really lovers now?】

The barrage of comments expressed shock at the doctor revealing to the male lead that he wasn’t biologically related to the female lead. However, there were still a few persistent comments focusing on the competition’s theme:

【Speechless, there’s only four minutes and ten seconds left, where’s the war and hatred?】

【I can’t believe it, there’s only a little time left, but where’s the domineering son-in-law who fell in love with me? So where’s the domineering son-in-law? Was his name not just randomly chosen? Isn’t this just seeking attention?】

【People are genuinely finding enjoyment in this wishy-washy story? What kind of taste is that? Laughable.】

【Wait, could there be a possibility that the recent scene was part of a “war”?】

【Didn’t you see the intense confrontation just a while ago?】

【Haha, right! How come they don’t consider protagonist conflict as a war?】

Now Xiao You also realized that the intense scene just now seemed like a “war” indeed, and the competition was the theme being alluded to.

So, with these final four minutes, is the focus now on the “hatred”?

As it turned out, her guess was correct.

While the male lead was grappling with mixed emotions on his way to the female lead’s room, the dynamic on the female lead’s side shifted from a confrontation between the two parties to a one-sided “brawl”…

[The instant Su Lin’er spoke those words, Jiang Qing realized that the person before her wasn’t Su Lin’er.

“Suzhen?!” Jiang Qing’s pupils trembled in disbelief, “How is that possible… how is that possible…”

She muttered to herself.

After hearing her say that name, Su Lin’er clapped her hands, “Correct, it’s impressive that you still remember me.”

Step by step, she walked up to Jiang Qing, crouched down, and wore her usual timid smile. But now, her smile turned sinister, “You’re wondering how that’s possible, right? Indeed, when you kicked me out back then, and later feared that my existence and Lin’er’s would pose a threat to you, you decided to eliminate us entirely. At that time, did you think that from then on, no one in the world would challenge you? Jiang Qing, you truly have a cold heart in order to secure the position of Mrs. Han!”

“Now, it’s time for you to experience the feeling of having nothing!”

As Su Zhen’s words fell, Jiang Qing’s mind reeled, and it was Han Daqiang.

The moment the call connected, Han Daqiang’s furious voice came through, “Jiang Qing, have you killed someone?!”

Jiang Qing was dumbfounded, rooted to the spot. Images of flying vehicles colliding flashed through her mind. In her panic, she tried to defend herself, but Han Daqiang only left her with a single sentence, “Deal with the consequences yourself.”

As everything unraveled before Jiang Qing’s eyes, she attempted to flee, but on her way out, she collided with a police officer. Han Cheng was standing near several police officers, shaking his head in disbelief, disappointment written all over his face, but who knew how long he had been listening outside…

Once the officer said, “Someone reported you for ***, please come with us,” the scene plunged into darkness.

At this moment, there was just one minute left in the film.]

Xiao You thought it was over at this point, but soon she heard a few vibrations, and then a ring appeared on the screen.

She immediately recognized it—it was Su Zhen’s neural implant!

The visuals from the neural implant were projected onto the big screen.

The first message was from Han Daqiang. It automatically opened, displaying: 【Ah Zhen, I’ve decided to divorce Jiang Qing. Please believe me this time. I promise to give you a bright future.】

This message didn’t stay on screen for even three seconds before moving to the next.

Surprisingly, the next message was from Lie Yan Zhe: 【It’s a pity, I almost got my hands on her shares in the Han family. But it’s alright, apart from those shares, everything else she owned is now with me. This transaction has been successfully completed, don’t you think?】

Still, the message only stayed for three seconds before moving on to the next. This time, it was from a doctor named Zhang: 【Madam, your face is the most perfect work our institution has ever produced. We would like to know if you agree to let us use a comparison of your appearance before and after the face swap for promotional purposes?】

After this message, there was a pause before moving to the next one.

Unlike the previous ones, this one was a video recording.

The screen was split into two halves. Xiao You recognized the face on the left—it was Su Lin’er. No, more accurately, it was the real Su Lin’er. On the right side was the real Su Zhen.

Mother and daughter resembled each other greatly, radiating warmth in their features.

It seemed to be a video call recording between the two of them.

In the video, Su Lin’er appeared heartbroken as she told her mother that she had broken up with Han Cheng. She had seen Han Cheng with another girl. Her mother asked if there might be some misunderstanding, but Su Lin’er seemed stubborn, saying she didn’t want to talk about it. Su Zhen followed her lead, but in the next moment, the camera on the left side shook, followed by a permanent plunge into darkness.

Su Lin’er had been murdered…

After this segment, a new message appeared in the neural implant.

This time, it was from Han Cheng.

He only asked one question: 【Did you ever truly love me?】

No one replied.

The light on the neural implant dimmed entirely in that moment.

Then, one by one, letters formed in the darkness:

【The End】

Xiao You felt like the film had ended too soon. However, the confusion in her mind was clarified when she saw the final messages in Su Zhen’s neural implant.

She thought that she probably wouldn’t be able to watch the other participants’ films now because her mind was full of questions like “Did Su Zhen really love Han Cheng?” “Will Su Zhen and Han Daqiang rekindle their relationship?” “So, the entire story was set up by Su Zhen for revenge!”…

It seemed that other viewers were in the same boat as her. Even though the film had ended, the number of online viewers was still increasing, and the barrage of comments was growing exponentially.

People were curious, amazed, and their questions and astonishment mirrored Xiao You’s.

To her, this was an exceptional work. It might not be the most powerful, but you couldn’t deny that the fast-paced plot, the control over the scenes, and the characterization of the androids were all exceptional. The most crucial part was that even though the pace was fast, every scene was relevant, contributing to the story’s progression and cohesion.

In other words, it was a film that kept everyone at the edge of their seats.

After some contemplation, Xiao You decided to allocate half of her votes to Yan Yue.

Ordinary viewers had two votes each, while VIP users like her had ten votes.

She sent out five votes at once, which undoubtedly showed her appreciation for Yan Yue’s work.

After casting her votes, Xiao You realized it was getting late and planned to tidy up before visiting her elder brother.

As she exited the screening of Yan Yue’s film, she saw a comment in the barrage:

【Han Daqiang is kind of unlucky, isn’t he? His wife cheats on him, uses his money to support another man, almost bankrupts him, and just when he finally meets the woman he truly loves, he gets used. I’m starting to doubt if Han Cheng is really his son…】

Xiao You gave that comment a thumbs-up.

Indeed, Han Daqiang was rather unlucky. However, he somewhat brought it upon himself. If he had managed his relationship with Su Zhen and Jiang Qing well from the beginning, he wouldn’t have been caught up in so much trouble.

Thinking about it, Xiao You started feeling that her elder brother was also a bit of a pitiful case. His wife’s situation, framed in a nicer light, was being duped for money. In harsher words, it was infidelity.

And her elder brother could endure all of this?

The more Xiao You thought about it, the more she realized that this wasn’t right. She had to have a good conversation with her elder brother!

But just as she was about to enter her elder brother’s house, she heard her elder brother’s voice, filled with anger: “Li Qian, did you commit murder?!”

Xiao You’s knocking hand froze!

Wait a moment!

Why does this line sound so familiar???

.

Meanwhile, on planet B62.

The “Strongest Screenwriter” competition base.

666, who was previously gravely ill, suddenly sat up, banging drums and gongs in Yan Yue’s mind: 【Boss, we’re number one in the vote count!!!】

Author’s note:

Yan Yue: Just as expected, everyone loves melodrama. (laughs confidently)
