Li Jing at this time.
She sat obediently in the attending physician’s office, taking a thin piece of paper.
—Hilarious. Could this plot possibly go the male lead’s way? What dream was he having?
Male leads falling in love with substitutes was just the beginning of a dramatic and cruel journey!
On the day that Ye Yan’s health was confirmed to be fine, another critical illness notice was issued.
—It was for Li Jing.
Her slender white fingers held the thin notice, which read: acute leukemia.
People with this disease often develop serious complications, and after chemotherapy, they may experience severe bone marrow suppression, so they need a lot of blood transfusions.
First, use the substitute to give blood to the White Moonlight, then use the White Moonlight to give blood to the substitute, the whole process was a big, tragic scene for the original owner—a classic melodramatic novel female lead, all the elements were there.
In the original plot, after learning about her serious illness, the original owner was truly heartbroken. She didn’t understand why, despite her kind heart, fate treated her this way, pushing her to the brink time and time again.
Li Jing: So angry.carpreads.pages.dev
There’s no way, I have to take back my happiness from these male leads!
Because she was in front of Doctor Lu, Li Jing didn’t put on an act.
Li Jing tilted her head: “I need to get into the mood, this sudden realization of having a terminal illness and feeling hopeless about life, wanting to just die, well, simply put, I need to get depressed…”
As she got into the mood, her face gradually turned pale, losing its color.
Her originally bright and shining pupils also gradually lost their focus, as if everything in the world had become meaningless.
Lu Mian’s gaze was fixed on her face.
His top 1, her acting skills were exceptional.
To the point where—
He was starting to feel sorry for her.
“So tired, I want to leave this world,” Li Jing slowly closed her eyes, “Before I leave, I want to see the sea…”
The next second.
She smelled a hint of sea breeze on her nose.
When she opened her eyes again, the sky was bright and beautiful.
Li Jing widened her eyes.
Beneath her was soft white sand, and in front of her was the vast blue ocean. The seawater was incredibly clear, like flowing glass, allowing her to see various creatures swimming in the shallows, leisurely and happy.
The sea breeze brushed against her face, bringing a real tickle.
In the distance, at the end of the horizon, was the edge of the world.
This was the sea she wanted to retire to, the cleanest in the world, beautiful beyond belief.
Li Jing turned around, the silver-haired man was looking down at her, his usually perfect and dignified face had a tenderness that could only be seen upon closer inspection.
“Cute patients are not suitable for depressed expressions.” Lu Mian said.
Li Jing blinked, then reached out and hooked onto Lu Mian’s clothes.
What kind of person.
Could directly take her on a world-hopping journey.
But at this moment, Li Jing closed her eyes, took a deep breath of the air carrying the scent of the sea, then shook her arm and said to Lu Mian: “Hurry, hurry, take me back to the mission world.”
Li Jing didn’t dare look at this world for too long.
“Hmm?” Lu Mian lowered his head, carefully observing her expression.
Li Jing’s eyes were super serious: “I’m afraid my fighting spirit will disappear, I just want to, right now, immediately, lie here with you and retire.”
Lu Mian was slightly taken aback, then he smiled.
“With you.”
Were very pleasant words.
When Fu Lingchu, with a hidden, unknown joy, walked into Li Jing’s ward.
Empty.
The figure he had seen countless times in photos was not on the bed at this moment.
The empty ward had no sign of life.
The joy in Fu Lingchu’s heart gradually sank to the bottom, a strange uneasiness arose intuitively.
He walked into the room, his fingertips brushed against the cold edge of the bed, then his gaze fell on Li Jing’s bedside table.
There was a thin piece of paper.
The words on it were not many, but the moment Fu Lingchu saw them, his expression vanished.
Then he understood what it meant to be heartbroken.
It turned out that everything he wanted to make up for, the future he thought he could have—
Had already been torn apart.
That night, Fu Lingchu searched for Li Jing frantically, but her phone was turned off, and he couldn’t locate her exact position.
And Feng Ce also came to Li Jing’s ward after Fu Lingchu, and saw the crumpled critical illness notice.
Feng Ce had been busy with Li Jing’s trending searches all day, and he just wanted to see if Li Jing was feeling better.
—She wasn’t.
In fact, she was not going to get better.
He felt like someone had punched him hard in the chest, a festering wound in his entire chest cavity, so painful he didn’t know how to react.
Feng Ce stumbled out of the ward and ran into Du Jinghuai, whose face was pale from excessive blood transfusions.
At that moment, out of some kind of wolfish instinct, Feng Ce punched him.
“F*ck you, Du Jinghuai! She’s like that and you still make her take the blame, do you know that Li Jing is not going to live long?!”
Du Jinghuai was already weak, and he had no time to react, he was knocked to the ground with a single punch.
He coughed violently, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, but he was more concerned about Feng Ce’s last words.
Du Jinghuai coughed as he got up from the ground, asking: “Li Jing, cough—what’s wrong with her?”
Feng Ce threw the crumpled notice in Du Jinghuai’s face.
Du Jinghuai’s fingertips trembled, and the moment he opened it, his face went blank.
“Damn it!!” Feng Ce was heartbroken.
However, he knew, who could he blame? Was it just Du Jinghuai’s fault?
All of them were the culprits of this situation.
The born-proud young master, fell in love with someone, but ended up almost killing her.
Guilt and despair surged, Feng Ce actually sat on the ground, covering his face and crying.
-—–
At this time.
Li Jing was on the rooftop of the hospital, enjoying the cool breeze.
The three male leads were all within a hundred meters of her in a straight line.
Everyone’s favorability was hanging by a thread, stretched taut.
Very good—
A giant, self-service, crematorium-style battleground.
For the last 10% of the romance plotline, to make the male lead suffer to the point of unbearable pain, you need to personally paint the final, tragic colors onto the little white flower’s persona.
Just like Ye Yan would cultivate the image of a sickly beauty who could die at any moment, Li Jing could use the plot to directly amplify this feeling—
What was the most unforgettable?
It was the cherry blossom with the shortest blooming period, brilliant and quick to die.
Li Jing had chilled enough in the wind, the male leads’ emotions were almost in place, and then she calmly turned on her mobile flip phone and stood on the railing.
It was quite high, but luckily she wasn’t afraid of heights.
For this plot point, she had to be the highest person standing!
Li Jing held up her mobile phone and dialed her grandmother’s number, which automatically went to voicemail.
She began to sob softly into the night.
“Grandma, I’m so tired.”
“I’ve kept all your medical expenses, it won’t run out, please forgive me, I might… not be able to…”
Behind her, the rooftop door was slammed open, and someone stumbled in.
At a glance, he saw the thin figure standing on the rooftop railing.
It was as if a gust of wind could blow her off the tall building—like scattered white petals, disappearing into the boundless night.
For a moment, Fu Lingchu couldn’t even make a sound.
Li Jing didn’t turn around.
Fu Lingchu’s heart pounded wildly, and he cautiously approached Li Jing. When he was about four or five meters away, the girl suddenly spoke.
“Don’t come closer.”
Fu Lingchu instantly froze in place, not daring to move an inch closer.
Li Jing finally turned her head, looking down at him from above.
This glance held no life.
It was as if they were complete strangers.
Fu Lingchu felt a sourness from his nose to his eyes. He carefully spoke to her, “Li Jing, come down, okay?”
He thought he had time, he had a chance, that the hurt he had caused her could still be repaired, but he never imagined that time would be the most cruel thing.
So when fate truly arrived, true regret finally overwhelmed him.
Drowning him.
Perhaps the wind on the rooftop was too strong, his eyes were blown shut, and something flowed from his eyes.
“There’s still a way, I can definitely find a way.” Fu Lingchu’s words were difficult to speak.
But Li Jing laughed.
“Fu Lingchu, you’ve always been like this,” Li Jing shook her head with a smile, “From the first day you brought out the contract to the present, you’ve never changed.”
Fu Lingchu stared intently at her, afraid that her head would shake too much and she would accidentally fall, his heart tightened to the point where it almost stopped beating.
Li Jing said to the system, “Do you know what I’m doing?”
The system nervously watched, “Y-yes, what is it?”
Li Jing: “I’m PUA*-ing the male lead.”
TN: originally Pick-Up Artist, but has evolved in meaning a bit, but still just brainwashing/emotional manipulation .
Old-fashioned, dog-like male leads, they all deserve a good PUA!
“Your money, it’s all dirty,” Li Jing looked down at the man with disdain, “—Just like you.”
Dirty money, dirty person.
Her contemptuous gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing Fu Lingchu’s heart.
Their positions seemed to suddenly reverse. At this moment, she finally became the one who stood high above, freely insulting him.
Yet he, surprisingly, found it sweet.
“I will… clean it.”
The young CEO, always proud, revealed a hint of unprecedented humility.
He knew Li Jing looked down on his money. He could wash clean all the dirty money in her eyes and invest it in her foundation.
“As long as you… don’t die.”
Li Jing smiled.
Feng Ce finally rushed upstairs at this moment. The moment he ran out, he saw her swaying precariously. His legs went weak for a moment, and he stumbled and fell heavily to the ground, his knees bleeding.
Behind him, Du Jinghuai, whose face was pale as if transparent, with blood still drying on his lips, slowly walked out.
Everyone was more miserable than ever before, but the love line was being crazily raised.
—Fu Lingchu’s favorability +2%
—Feng Ce’s favorability +2%
—Du Jinghuai’s favorability +3%
Knowing that she was about to die, they finally understood who they loved.
“Li Jing, you’ll be fine.”
“I won’t let anything happen to you.”
“Don’t die… don’t die.”
The frail girl on the railing finally closed her eyes.
Hee hee. What jerks.
Death escape countdown, let’s start!!!
