【？？ Is this Xiao Li’s memory?】

【Wait, the way that scene was presented earlier, combined with the current perspective, it looks more like a dream of Xiao Li’s, doesn’t it?】

【Nailed it! The theme this time is dreams and reality!】

【Yan Yue, you better give us a plot twist, or I’ll really unfollow you!】

【I have to admit, were we all a bit too harsh earlier? Doesn’t everyone know Yan Jie’s style by now? There’s definitely going to be a twist, so why don’t we just trust her? And why are you all saying Yan Jie is promoting her ship at the public’s expense? What if this time she’s deliberately mirroring reality to tell us some hidden truth? Let’s be rational, people! What’s wrong with you all?】

【Whoa, the person earlier made some valid points. Could it be that there’s something wrong with Yang Xin or Su Man Man…?】

As soon as the barrage mentioned the possibility of issues with Yang Xin and Su Man Man, their fans immediately drowned out the comments.

Today’s barrage was far from harmonious, so many viewers turned off the barrage and started watching the drama seriously.

Meanwhile, in the drama—

[Xiao Li had the same dream again.

In this dream, he was a supporting character in a novel.

It was a typical female protagonist novel, where he played the role of Su Ke Xin’s loyal childhood friend. No matter how much he devoted to her, Su Ke Xin never chose him. Instead, she chose a wealthy and influential man. In the process, the author conveniently made his family bankrupt early in the story, so he ended up living at Su Ke Xin’s house.

Despite how well Su Ke Xin’s family treated him, she was always the center of attention. He was just there to highlight her, a leaf overshadowed by her brilliance, a leaf that was never chosen by Su Ke Xin.

Later, Su Ke Xin got into the prestigious Mecha Design Academy, where her outstanding talent won her the admiration of countless professors. Her life became smooth sailing from there.

Everyone, men and women alike, were impressed by her excellence. Even her female classmates admired her! Everyone considered her the goddess of mecha, a legend.

In this legend, she eventually met the person she liked, the young CEO of XX Mecha Group.

As for the supporting leaf, he quietly exited the stage.

In the book, his role was reduced to being jealous of Su Ke Xin’s love interests and even went as far as sabotaging his own dreams in a fit of jealousy. When he first read about these events in the book, Xiao Li didn’t believe them. However, reality constantly reminded him that everything in the dream was his future. All of it would come true! He was destined to be a supporting character, destined to hide in Su Ke Xin’s shadow, and lead a life of mediocrity, wasting his potential.

He couldn’t accept that. How could he?

He had talent! He had dreams! He had ambitions! Why should he settle for being a supporting character? Worse, a supporting character for a woman?

But Su Ke Xin’s aura was simply too powerful, and he couldn’t outshine the darling of fate.

Until one day, he stumbled upon a blogger who claimed to be a member of some mysterious sect. He reached out to this blogger, and surprisingly, the blogger had some real abilities!

Following the blogger’s guidance, he gave Su Ke Xin a string of beads as a gift, and he also had one for himself!

Su Ke Xin trusted him and really liked the gift, wearing it almost every day…

However, it was this string of beads that changed everything about his future!]

Once viewers reached this point, they couldn’t stay calm anymore!!

【????】

【???? OMG!!】

【This plot twist is just too much!!!??】

【Yan Jie, I’m sorry! I admit I was too loud earlier. Please accept my sincere apology! This twist is unbelievable!】

【Escaping marriage, rebirth, and dreaming about the future with an ex? And it looks like Xiao Li and Su Ke Xin are still living in the world of the book! I can’t believe it! We can never keep up with Yan Jie’s imagination!】

【Yan Jie, how many more surprises do you have for us?!】

【Wait, could this string of beads be the problem?? If everything in Xiao Li’s dream is true, then could all his achievements be because of this string of beads? I remember him wearing it in the interview footage! OMG! Did he steal Su Ke Xin’s protagonist aura? Otherwise, based on the original book’s plot, Su Ke Xin should have been pursued by major mecha corporations by now, and even the interstellar government would have her making mechas for the interstellar military! But look, she’s still competing in mecha battles! Meanwhile, Xiao Li has become so successful!】

【If this is true, then the one who threatened Su Ke Xin at the beginning of the competition could be Xiao Li!! This competition is said to offer entry to a major corporation to the winner, right? So, could it be because he’s afraid Su Ke Xin will find out that he doesn’t want her to win the championship?】

【Help!!! This is terrifying! Even though Su Ke Xin in the original book seemed to rely heavily on her aura, but compared to Su Ke Xin, Xiao Li is the scarier one, right?】

【Uh… Does anyone still dare to say that Xiao Li and Su Ke Xin are mirroring Yang Xin and Su Man Man now? (timidly asking…)】

【I boldly join the conversation, if this drama really mirrors reality, I’ll be the first to unfollow… seriously, I can’t even imagine, if this kind of thing happened in real life… someone stealing someone else’s luck to maintain their own aura… such a person should be executed, and even that wouldn’t be enough to soothe the victim’s anger! This is scarier than robbing someone of their life!】

【But, in the original book, wasn’t Su Ke Xin, who relied on her aura for everything, not that impressive?】

【?? Is the person above in their right mind? From Xiao Li’s perspective in his dream, everyone except him is detestable, right? Moreover, based on his dream, what did Su Ke Xin do wrong? Su Ke Xin has always trusted him, she’s been wearing the gift he gave her almost every day, and even gave him water during a sports event. So, what exactly did Su Ke Xin do wrong? Just because she’s naturally gifted and talented, she deserves to have her luck stolen? What kind of values are these? I’m speechless!】

【I think I understand now, folks! On the cover, Xiao Li is holding a heart, right? That’s Su Ke Xin’s luck! He stole it from her!】

【What about Su Ke Xin? Could it be that she never noticed?】

Some viewers mentioned whether Su Ke Xin had noticed Xiao Li’s unusual behavior, but Yan Yue quickly provided an answer!

[At the end of Xiao Li’s dream, Su Ke Xin discovered the secret of him stealing her aura. Not just Su Ke Xin, everyone found out, his fans, his partners, everyone who admired him, they all abandoned him overnight!

Xiao Li woke up from the nightmare, drenched in sweat, gasping for breath. He didn’t calm down until he saw the string of beads was still there.

Holding his own string of beads, he reassured himself over and over again in his mind:

“Xiao Li, no one will find out, no one!”

“Even if Su Ke Xin knew a long time ago, what does it matter? I put a curse on her. She can never speak about all this! She won’t have a chance, never!”

“I didn’t steal her life, I’ve been so good to her since we were kids. I’ve taken care of her since childhood. Now I’m just taking some of her luck. It’s what I deserve!”

“Besides, with just a bit of luck, she still has a powerful aura, and she’s still excelling in competitions, right?”

“Excelling! She still has such good luck!”

He would make sure she had no chance to be near him! He would never give her the opportunity to take all his good fortune away! He wouldn’t!!

After Xiao Li fell asleep again, the camera switched to Su Ke Xin’s side.

Su Ke Xin was already asleep.

The camera entered Su Ke Xin’s mind in the same way.

This was Su Ke Xin’s dream.

In the dream, she grew up with Xiao Li as childhood friends, treating him as her closest companion. Wherever they went, they were inseparable.

One day, Xiao Li gave her a string of beads as a gift.

The beads were beautiful, and Su Ke Xin really liked them. She wore them almost every day. In return, she prepared a gift for Xiao Li, a small mecha she had designed herself. It was a mecha that Xiao Li had seen in an advertisement and had really wanted, but it was too expensive, so his parents couldn’t afford it. Su Ke Xin remembered this and specifically prepared a mecha that surpassed the one in the advertisement to give to Xiao Li.

She thought Xiao Li would like it, but when they started dating in college, she couldn’t find that mecha at his house. She asked his parents, and his mother remembered and said with a smile, “Ah, you mean the small mecha that Xiao Li designed? He gave it to a friend who visited the school.”

Su Ke Xin couldn’t believe her ears, but after repeated confirmation, that mecha had indeed been given away by Xiao Li in his own name to a mecha university professor who had visited the school, and who was now Xiao Li’s mentor…

Because of this, Su Ke Xin wanted to question Xiao Li but suddenly fell seriously ill. The doctor who treated her at the time said her illness was very strange.

Doctor: “Although it’s a bit against medical ethics to say this, it really seems like there’s some evil energy inside you…”

Su Ke Xin thought the doctor was joking, but when she went back that night, she happened to see Xiao Li fiddling with his string of beads, and it was emitting a faint light. She overheard Xiao Li talking to someone, mentioning words like luck and transfer!

At that moment, Su Ke Xin felt like she had been struck by lightning!

She, who had always believed in science, never expected that she would one day encounter something supernatural!

She didn’t understand why Xiao Li did this and naively questioned him. What she got in return was Xiao Li, along with that person from the mystical sect, cursing her. She could never speak about anything related to aura ever again!

After that incident, she and Xiao Li broke up, which coincided with her family’s downfall. Rumors circulated outside that she broke up with Xiao Li because she didn’t want to drag him down…

And Xiao Li turned out to be even more ruthless than she imagined!!

He took away the design drawings of her mecha! And with one of the works, he rose to fame! Since then, his life had been like he had activated cheats, singing all the way!

As for herself, because her work had been stolen, she missed the university’s mecha design competition. From then on, she embarked on a completely different path from Xiao Li…]

After seeing Su Ke Xin’s perspective, viewers were almost fuming!

【Ahhhh, that damned Xiao Li deserves to die!】

【I felt a bit sorry for Xiao Li when I saw his perspective earlier, thinking he was just a bit pitiful. But now, he’s just pitiful! What did Su Ke Xin do wrong to deserve this treatment from him?】

【I think he’s simply jealous that Su Ke Xin is better than him! The stinky jerk can’t stand that Su Ke Xin is better than him! Did you hear the nonsense he was telling himself? What does he mean, he’s still a woman’s companion? Scum, if you can be Su Ke Xin’s companion, you should secretly enjoy it, what trash! It makes me sick!】

【So, Su Ke Xin can’t even speak up for herself now? After this piece of crap appears on the show, is he going to cause more trouble for Su Ke Xin?】

【I’m disgusted! Has this Xiao Li become addicted to being a thief? He stole Su Ke Xin’s luck and now her work too? Damn it!】

【Some people just refuse to admit that they’re simply not capable. :)】

【Thinking about Su Ke Xin having to meet him on the show makes me sick!! Damn it!! After all this, can Su Ke Xin still get her revenge and take back her luck and her work?】

【I can’t believe it! I only looked away from the progress bar for a moment, and now there’s less than ten minutes left? So, does this mean there’s no way for her to get revenge and take back her luck and her work? Shouldn’t Su Ke Xin go find that mystical sect too? Pay more money and make Xiao Li pay a painful price!】

【I support the earlier comments!】

【Did you forget that there’s also a CEO in this drama? I feel like the CEO will help Su Ke Xin.】

【Buddy, the CEO appeared in the dream, didn’t you notice?】

【I was angry a moment ago, but now I’m just laughing. So, the CEO only appears in dreams, right? It’s been fifty minutes already, a sixty-minute drama. I want to see how the CEO will play a role in the last ten minutes!】

However, reality struck them hard!

The so-called CEO in the title did indeed appear in the show –

[The CEO admired Su Ke Xin’s work and they got to know each other. Meanwhile, Xiao Li also showed signs of nostalgia for Su Ke Xin in the show, as if he wanted to make amends.

Viewers in the drama were cheering, but Su Ke Xin looked gloomy!

Until the very last second of the drama, Su Ke Xin encountered both the CEO who came to discuss cooperation and Xiao Li who came to reconcile!]

At this moment, the screen suddenly went black!

Then, four big characters appeared on the screen –

【To Be Continued】

Viewers seeing these four big characters: 【?】

Viewers: 【???】

Viewers: 【Wasn’t this supposed to be just one episode? What’s going on?!】

Everyone was puzzled and confused. Suddenly, a barrage of comments flooded the screen like locusts, spreading all over the screen in an instant –

【Holy crap, go check out Yan Yue’s account! It seems like Yan Yue is going after Yang Xin!!】

Author’s Note:

Yan Yue: To clarify, “To Be Continued” means that I’m going to expose that thief in real life!
