Chapter 512: Chapter 256: How About Making Yun Wanchen the Male Lead

At this moment, Su Qianxue had already tied her horse, stepping lightly and softly onto the ice-covered ground, and walked towards this side.

"Hi, how are you~"

She held her fox fur with both hands, bent slightly to peek out her head, her pretty dark eyes curiously watching the silver-clad gentleman beside the boy in black.

Flickering firelight and the endless darkness beyond made his figure somewhat blurry, impossible to see clearly.

Su Qianxue had no choice but to step closer.

Unbeknownst to her, upon hearing her voice, Yun Wanchen’s eyes moved slightly, a hint of alertness quickly flashed through his eyes, and his whole body instinctively became defensive.

This way of greeting was so unique, not the language of this world.

Before, he had heard it from his little sister’s inner voice.

So, is this girl from the same place as his little sister?

The moment this thought arose, Su Qianxue’s figure uncontrollably appeared in his mind. Could it be... her?

Raising his eyelids, Yun Wanchen glanced over quietly, secretly scrutinizing.

Behind the firelight stood a slender and tall figure, dressed in luxurious men’s attire, stunningly beautiful yet unfamiliar.

This face was not Su Qianxue.

Yet, Yun Wanchen didn’t relax; instead, he became even more vigilant. Could it be there are other souls from different worlds aside from his sister and Su Qianxue?

Is this person an enemy or a friend?

"Girl, this here is my prince, Prince, this is the lady I mentioned to you earlier~"

His own princely heir was staring at the girl’s quality, clearly showing some interest.

Cang Yan simply disregarded Yun Wanchen’s previous words not to mind this, promptly introducing the two.

Yun Wanchen snapped out of his thoughts, nodded slightly at the lady as a greeting, then turned his gaze away, lowering his eyelids, contemplating something.

And Su Qianxue, getting closer, finally saw the person’s appearance clearly, her eyes widened instantly, filled with amazement.

The man sitting under the big tree had long black hair cascading like a waterfall, skin pure as jade, lips like vermillion, eyebrows picturesque, gaze cold as snow, indifferent yet distant.

Under the dazzling and exquisite silver attire, he was like the bright moon of the heavens, exuding clear brilliance, free from any dust.

What a peerless elegance!

Su Qianxue stared at his face, finding it hard to believe that her former fiancé, merely a cannon fodder male character, possessed such stunning beauty.

His transcendent temperament was even more striking than the male lead!

"Ahhh, system, why didn’t you tell me Yun Wanchen was this good-looking?"

"No wonder the plot constantly describes him with noble features and peerless elegance; he’s indeed incredibly handsome, deserving of being Haojing’s number one gentleman."

"In the plot, I would heartlessly scheme against him to annul the engagement. I must have been blind then, right?"

"System, can we change the male lead? How about making Yun Wanchen the male lead? I promise I’ll work diligently on tasks."

"..."

Su Qianxue’s eyes gleamed brightly, crazily bombarding the system.

System: [...]

[A reminder to the host, admiration should have limits.] 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

[In the plot, the host schemes against Yun Wanchen not due to blindness, but because he becomes disabled.]

[If the plot hasn’t collapsed, the current Yun Wanchen should be a disabled person who relies on a wheelchair; would the host still like him then?]

Su Qianxue: "..."

Disabled, yet still likable.

Looking like this, disabled or not, what does it matter?

People should have flaws; being too perfect now makes turning disabled seem more normal.

But she didn’t dare say it, vaguely sensing that after the plot collapsed, her character setting also seemed to be faltering.

Her thoughts consistently contradict the actions in the plot.

If the system realizes her persona has collapsed, would it take some course of action to restore the plot against her?

No, no, just what she said was already collapsing her character setting, has the system not detected her odd behavior?

Suddenly, the phrase ’thinking too hard and fearing greatly’ flashed in her mind, causing Su Qianxue to break out in a cold sweat, instantly dispersing the admiration without a trace.

"Hmm, you make a valid point. If he’s disabled, I don’t really like him."

Regaining her senses, she chuckled dryly, giving the system a very perfunctory reply.

The system did not respond to her but issued a new message.

[Alert, new mission triggered.]

[Detected cannon fodder male supporting role Yun Wanchen’s plot collapse; the host must repair the storyline, design an accident to steer him back onto his destined path.]

Receiving the new mission, Su Qianxue was instantly bewildered.

"System, what’s going on?"

"Didn’t you say the cannon fodder doesn’t significantly impact the main world plot, and past plot events can be ignored? Why suddenly issue a new task?"

Honestly, after seeing Yun Wanchen, Su Qianxue indeed felt reluctant to harm him.

[The system warned the host not to provoke Yun Wanchen. Yet the host did not heed, insisting on approaching; the system detected the host’s increasing affection for the cannon fodder, posing a risk of character setting collapse, which is dangerous to continue.]

[To ensure the host’s romantic line with the male lead, the system automatically entered alert mode, thus triggering a protective plot task.]

[The host brought this upon herself, it isn’t the system intentionally making things difficult.]

Su Qianxue: "..."

Damn, just a few more glances at Yun Wanchen’s incredible looks and letting her heart gently flutter, this ended up triggering a task?

Everyone appreciates beauty; can’t she admire a handsome guy?

Yet it dares to say it’s not intentionally making things difficult for her?

If this isn’t considered deliberate troublemaking, then what is?

Su Qianxue sulked, regretting immensely her action of approaching Yun Wanchen due to curiosity, and further regretted her careless remark to the system about replacing Yun Wanchen with a male lead; now to safeguard the plot, a new mission was triggered directly.

Her tasks were already numerous; would she manage to handle adding Yun Wanchen?

Damned, might as well just perish.

"..."

Seeing Su Qianxue staring at Yun Wanchen for a long time, her expression shifting from infatuation to astonishment, then to current agony, Cang Yan was utterly amazed, unable to understand why her emotions had so many changes.

The initial infatuation he could comprehend; after all, his own princely heir was peerlessly elegant and doubly blessed with talent and beauty, every woman who saw him couldn’t help but be charmed.

But what about the astonishment and agony?

The princely heir’s face, what exactly did it remind this girl of?

Could it be the princely heir is her lost lover from years ago?

Despite constantly being with Yun Wanchen, knowing he had never experienced any disappearance or amnesia, Cang Yan still conjured up a tearful drama of forced separation between loving couples.

And Yun Wanchen, naturally, was also keeping a close watch on Su Qianxue’s emotional changes.

Like Cang Yan, he couldn’t fathom the reason behind those emotional shifts, but was not so idle as to suspect he had unknowingly wronged the girl.

He clearly didn’t know this girl, yet her emotions seemed to recognize him...

Yun Wanchen’s eyes flickered, a hint of shadow rapidly crossing his gaze.
