As for Gu Zhou, unlike the Gu family butler, Xue Yaya, being young and not having experienced much turbulence in life, was not as cautious in her approach. After watching the first part, she was convinced that Yan Yue’s “Runaway” was about the Gu and Xue families. She had an extraordinary level of trust in Yan Yue and firmly believed that Gu Zhou and his aunt were the criminals.

So, Xue Yaya planned to deal with her own identity issues first and then find a way to take down Gu Zhou before he could harm her. However, she couldn’t help but think about the later relationship between Emperor Fuhua and Nangong Youzi… Could it be that Xue Yangyang would end up marrying Mr. Gu in the end?

But why was she thinking about this? She should focus on the current situation!

However, what Xue Yaya didn’t expect was that just as she was planning to reveal her own identity, Gu Zhou was arrested…

Two days later, while still working on creating her “Runaway” fan content, Yan Yue was bombarded with messages in her group by Su Manman and others.

Although there were only three contestants left in the competition, herself, Su Manman, and Gai Fang, the eliminated contestants from this round, including An Xiaoyu, as well as those eliminated earlier, Shui Shui and Wu Hua, had all been brought back into the group just three days ago.

Yan Yue had a feeling that this would happen when she received a private message from an account named Yaya that day. However, she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

At this point, she couldn’t simply dismiss everything as a coincidence anymore. She had never encountered such a situation in her previous task worlds, and 666 was also clueless about it. So, Yan Yue wrote a feedback request to the headquarters, hoping they could investigate what had happened in this world and whether there were any issues in other worlds. Why were the events from her previous task worlds happening in this one? The most puzzling part was that there seemed to be no clear pattern.

For example, in “Overbearing Son-in-law,” when she created the content, the real-life story was still ongoing, and the characters’ names in real life were different from those in the original story. In that world, Jiang Qing’s real-life counterpart didn’t have the surname Li, and the son-in-law Han Cheng had a different surname from You.

The same was true for the other worlds. Although the stories were the same, the characters’ names and identities had changed in every world.

For “The Temptation to Return to the Stars,” her work had been published long after the real-life events had occurred, making it more like “predicting the past.”

Now, it seemed that “Runaway 99 Times” was also happening in real life. However, Yan Yue currently had no idea whether the real-life Emperor Fuhua and Emperor Hansheng had experienced rebirth…

That’s right, the one who truly experienced rebirth wasn’t Nangong Youzi. In that world, Nangong Youzi had only dreamed of the original plot, while the reborn Emperor Fuhua, full of regret, had started pursuing his wife at the crematorium. He just didn’t expect that “his dad” would also experience rebirth and marry the woman he liked.

As for Nangong Jiaofen, in that world, she didn’t experience rebirth, nor did she dream of the original plot. She was just a malicious plot device used by the author throughout the story. Her ending was quite tragic, as she was ultimately treated as a plaything by Emperor Fuhua’s subordinates…

When Yan Yue was creating this drama, she had changed Nangong Jiaofen’s character because it would make the story more interesting and fitting for the theme of the competition. Additionally, the Nangong Jiaofen from that world was extremely unintelligent. Even though Yan Yue was writing a melodramatic story, she couldn’t create such a foolish character. In the end, she also wanted to give Nangong Jiaofen a better ending.

However, even though she didn’t know the current progress of “Runaway 99 Times” in the real world within the Interstellar Network, Yan Yue could sense that this might be related to spatial anomalies. She suspected that her colleagues in other worlds might be facing similar troubles.

She was currently in the middle of a task and couldn’t return to headquarters, so she could only continue with the task in this world and wait for updates from headquarters.

Fortunately, from what she could see so far, it seemed that only a few worlds had merged with this one, and there hadn’t been any major chaos. Everything was within manageable limits.

After organizing her thoughts, Yan Yue clicked on the post that Wu Hua had shared and wanted to see if there was any information she was interested in.

To her slight surprise, someone else had snatched the “Rich Family’s Secrets” scoop from the Wealthy Family’s Little Leaker.

The person revealing the information was an account named “Guessing the Plot with Shanshan.”

Yan Yue found the ID somewhat familiar. This blogger had made accurate predictions in previous posts.

Currently, this blogger’s post had already gained popularity within ten minutes of being posted, and the title was now displayed in large letters with a little fire symbol!

Yan Yue clicked on it and saw that there were already thousands of replies, but as a professional bystander, she first clicked on “View only the original post.”

In the post, the blogger known as “Guessing the Plot with Shanshan” had screamed for several floors before starting to reveal information:

“Guessing the Plot with Shanshan: I really can’t believe it, folks! Don’t blame me for going crazy, but I have to ask you all this: wouldn’t you go crazy if you saw two consecutive plots by Sister Yan in your life?!”

Someone has already exposed my identity, so I won’t hide it from everyone. I was one of the body doubles for Ye Gou from the reality version of “Back to Interstellar Temptation” last time! One of the people who exposed Ye Gou during the live broadcast last time was me!

After that incident, I went back to my hometown. However, I never expected that right after I finished watching Yan Jie’s new drama, a real-life version of a new drama would unfold around me!

Alright, let me explain why I’m so excited. Now, let’s get to the main topic!

I don’t know if any of you have been following today’s hot search rankings, and it might be a bit low on the list. Many people might not have seen it, but it’s the hot search topic called “Trash Star.” When you click on that hot search, you’ll find a post from the local police department in Trash Star. The post mentions two individuals, Gu and Zhang, suspected of attempted murder. These are the main characters of the recent drama!

To put it simply, replace Gu and Zhang, who are suspected of attempted murder, with Huangfu and Chu, and you should get the picture, right?

That’s right! Gu and Zhang are the real-life versions of Huangfu Hua and Chu Tianba!

Why am I so sure about this? Well, it all started with my friend’s sister…

My friend’s sister had a crush on a guy, and when they both got into the same university, she decided to confess her feelings to him. However, on the day of the confession, she accidentally witnessed him forcefully kissing the school beauty! Mind you, it was a forceful kiss!

Because this guy was wealthy and influential, even though the school beauty rejected him, others in the school thought she was ungrateful and acting unreasonably (I mention this to highlight how people on the internet like to criticize and bully others). After that, this guy continued to pursue the school beauty relentlessly, and my friend’s sister strongly supported her and defended her against online attacks. She’s become a big fan of the school beauty.

Of course, the focus here isn’t on this guy; it’s on a new male student who transferred to their school, whom we’ll call “Academic Excellence Guy.”

Academic Excellence Guy also liked the school beauty and actively pursued her. So, why did Academic Excellence Guy like the school beauty? There’s a backstory to this: it’s said that on the night before Academic Excellence Guy transferred to the school, while walking alone on a dark alley on her way back to school, the school beauty saved Academic Excellence Guy, who was being beaten up by someone.

I’m sure this storyline sounds familiar!

But there’s an even more familiar twist coming up!

The school beauty’s mother is the steward of a prestigious family on Trash Star! This prestigious family also has a single daughter, and the school beauty shares the same last name with this prestigious family!

Getting familiar? I’m asking if it sounds familiar!

Now, let’s call this prestigious family’s daughter “X Heiress.”

On the first day Academic Excellence Guy transferred to the school, X Heiress was very proactive, and there were rumors all over the school about how they were a perfect match. But Academic Excellence Guy was interested in the school beauty, not X Heiress, so he treated X Heiress coldly. On the school beauty’s side, it was clear she had some interest in Academic Excellence Guy as well (I’ll make an important note here: because the guy who had been relentlessly pursuing the school beauty had fought with Academic Excellence Guy due to the school beauty, and this became a big issue at school, with videos even appearing on the school’s forum. My friend’s sister told me at this point that the school beauty had some interest in Academic Excellence Guy, which aligns with the storyline in the drama).

Then, just a few days later! Here comes the crucial part!

(I want to emphasize that when I say “just a few days later,” I mean Academic Excellence Guy had transferred not too long ago, and he had pursued the school beauty for just a short time, and the same goes for X Heiress pursuing Academic Excellence Guy.)

In just a few days, both the school beauty and X Heiress started acting strangely towards Academic Excellence Guy!

Specifically, X Heiress, who had always followed Academic Excellence Guy around, began to avoid him like the plague. On the school beauty’s side, she started avoiding Academic Excellence Guy as well! But Academic Excellence Guy continued to pursue the school beauty relentlessly!

So, the question is, why did X Heiress suddenly start avoiding Academic Excellence Guy? Why did the school beauty, who had some interest in him, also start avoiding Academic Excellence Guy?

My friend, my friend’s sister, and I were all speculating whether they were dreaming or experiencing a rebirth like in the drama. But this kind of situation, while acceptable in a drama, seems quite far-fetched in reality. At this point, I suddenly thought, didn’t “Escape Marriage 99 Times” just finish airing? The changes in X Heiress and the school beauty’s behavior happened after “Escape Marriage” aired! Could it be that they watched the drama, found some clues from it, and started changing their behavior based on that?

Anyway, we don’t have an answer to this question for now, so let’s skip it and talk about who this Gu person is!

I’m sure most of you are familiar with the Gu Group, right? After all, there’s only one famous Gu Group in the whole interstellar world. A few years ago, the Gu Group expanded its territory to Trash Star, and that made headlines. Whether anyone remembers it or not, this Gu person is from the Gu Group!

You might be wondering how I know this. Well, it’s because Gu is related to Academic Excellence Guy. Academic Excellence Guy is the young master of the Gu family that the Gu Group brought back several years ago. This also made headlines, but it was suppressed by Mr. Gu at the time. Only people from Trash Star probably know about it.

So now that Academic Excellence Guy has a new title, let’s call him “Young Master Gu.”

And the person who got arrested, Gu, is Young Master Gu’s aunt!

Starting to look familiar, right?

The day Gu was arrested for attempted murder, my friend and I went to check it out because it happened at Young Master Gu’s school.

My friend and I were just picking up her sister to go out when Gu suddenly came to the school with a group of people to find Young Master Gu. They had some kind of argument, and they ended up having a heated fight right at the school gate! It was a fierce fight, and I recorded a video, which I’ll post in the next message for you to see for yourself!

Anyway, as a bystander at the scene, I only realized later that Gu had accused Young Master Gu of betraying her. Young Master Gu was initially confused about what she was talking about, but then Gu directly slapped something called a “Light Brain” on him, and Young Master Gu’s expression changed dramatically!

Just then, a car stopped at the school gate. At first, we thought it was there to pick up Young Master Gu, but when the car window rolled down, we saw that it was none other than Mr. Gu himself!!!

Folks, it was my first time seeing Mr. Gu in person! He looked exactly like Emperor Fu Hansheng from the drama! He had an incredible presence! Everyone who was there, upon seeing him, gasped in shock!

Even Young Master Gu and Gu stopped arguing. Gu was so scared that she fell to the ground on the spot, while Young Master Gu remained calm. He stood still for a moment and was about to walk over to Mr. Gu, but before he could reach him, the car door on the other side suddenly opened!

A guy who looked about the same age as Young Master Gu came out from the car. He even resembled Young Master Gu and was introduced as Zhang something (I couldn’t hear it clearly). So, just as the blogger described, this Young Master Gu was an impostor!

So, now Academic Excellence Guy has a new name. Let’s call him Zhang something!

When Zhang saw the guy, he retreated in fear!

And at this moment, folks! A scene even more thrilling than in the drama unfolded! Seriously! As someone who was there, I felt like I was watching a movie, and at the same time, I was exhilarated to the point of goosebumps! This kind of exhilaration can’t be described in words; you’ll have to watch the video and experience it for yourself!

The blogger’s text updates about the plot guessing stopped here, and when I scrolled down, I saw the video from the live scene…
