What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

027 Give me back my life

When did the desire to kill all the female protagonists begin?

When did the idea of taking away the lives of all the female protagonists begin?

If there has to be a definitive answer, then it's probably...

When he discovers that his life has been usurped by a certain female protagonist.

It was a perfectly normal day.

The sun shone brightly, and the wind was quite noisy; it was a warm morning, one that will be remembered and savored someday in the future.

But Ye Wen woke up from his dream with a start.

When he woke up, everything had changed.

And nothing has changed.

Time goes on as usual, the sun rises as usual, and people go to work, go to school, eat, sleep... All the elements that make up the normal functioning of society proceed in an orderly and peaceful manner as always.

There was nothing unusual about it.

Or rather, the only abnormal person is himself.

Only he knew that two years of this world had been cut off, and only he was aware of this fact. Everyone else lived their lives calmly in what was called an abnormal daily routine, while Ye Wen was the only outlier.

He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know the details of it.

He knew there was a two-year gap, but he didn't know what had happened during those two years.

Unacceptable.

Absolutely intolerable.

Ye Wen can accept the female protagonists interfering in his life.

But he absolutely cannot tolerate the female lead taking away his life.

That was his life, a part of what constituted him, a precious part of his experiences, something he absolutely had to reclaim.

Even if those two years consisted of him being locked up in the Amazon rainforest by four big guys in a place no one could find, and being ultimately humiliated for 24 months, that was still his life.

It must be retrieved.

We must find it.

No matter what means are used.

Since the female protagonist can so arbitrarily take away her own life.

So, it's acceptable for him to take away their lives as the leading ladies, right?

If he banishes all the female protagonists in this world, his lost life will come back, right?

In that instant, Ye Wen had this thought.

In response to him was a new power called the "Heroine's Guide to Conquering Her".

It stood solemnly before Ye Wen.

Like a holy sword waiting for a hero to draw it.

Ye Wen gripped it tightly, accepting this unknown gift.

Thus, a brand new history begins.

And now.

He opened his eyes.

……

Ye Wen fell to the bottom of the Japanese Chrysanthemum.

This place is thicker and colder than ever before, filled with chaotic distortions, and the stench of blood lingers in the air, impossible to dispel, like the most vicious slaughterhouse.

Looking around, all one could see were faces screaming in sorrow. They wept, shouted, struggled, and repeated themselves in a vicious cycle, sinking again and again into the corpses of nightmares.

Even tears couldn't flow; all that could come down was a glaring crimson.

This is hell.

The blood wave engulfed Ye Wen.

"Why did they die? Why?!"

"But, but everything has only just begun, so why...?"

The man futilely held the corpses of his brothers and sisters, weeping and wailing in the sea of blood, but no one could answer his questions. Beneath the corpses, bright golden chrysanthemums greedily licked the flowing blood.

"I will succeed! I will end this damned curse!"

"You must wait for me, you absolutely must wait for me!"

The woman made a vow: she would travel across mountains and rivers, visit renowned teachers, consult ancient texts, and conduct experiment after experiment, all in order to find a way to kill the curse.

When she returned home full of ambition, all she saw were graves that her relatives had already built.

That chrysanthemum, that wretched curse, struck ahead of time.

The heartbroken woman wept as she used her last resort, intending to perish together with the chrysanthemum. The wooden sword, laden with talismans, plunged into the root of the curse, but nothing happened.

Her methods failed.

Her life these past few years has been utterly meaningless.

He didn't even get to see his family one last time.

The woman knelt in despair, bowed her head before the curse, and wept in eternal anguish.

The video continues.

"Let me die, let me die..."

The girl repeatedly tried to stab her own heart with a knife, unwilling to let this vicious curse live on within her body, unwilling to become the culprit who killed her family.

All she could do was end her own life as a mother.

However, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how much effort she put in, the blade aimed at her body could not reach her. The girl collapsed to the ground after countless failures, covering her face and weeping.

So, her life...

They've long been completely dominated by Japanese chrysanthemums.

From the girl's body.

The heart, shaped like a chrysanthemum, throbbed eerily.

The video continues.

Countless sorrows, countless tragedies, countless cries of grief.

This is what Ye Wen is seeing now, everything that the Japanese Chrysanthemum has created over hundreds of years.

It is a true calamity for the "female protagonist".

This is an error that must be corrected.

Ye Wen took a deep breath.

The faces around him began to distort, writhing like plant branches or elongated insects, twisting and entwining, gradually engulfing Ye Wen's body.

This is accumulated despair, the lingering shadow of all the dead members of the Shen family, and Riju's sins.

They are trying to assimilate Ye Wen, to turn him into a part of this hell.

Come on.

Amidst the torrent of curses, Ye Wen raised his hand.

Then let him experience the heroine's hell for himself.

However, don't get it wrong.

You are the challengers.

because……

Ye Wen looked up at the strange girl who was always floating behind him.

The real hell was already right beside him.

The two years Ye Wen lost, the two years the world lost, the creator of everything, the worshipper of the moon in the sky, and also the driving force behind Ye Wen's killing of the female protagonist.

The heroine of his sorrowful and bewildered dream.

"Li Li".

Ye Wen called her name softly.

Because all he can remember now is her name.

one more time.

"My life."

Give it back to me.

The girl lowered her head and bent over.

"OK."

She spoke gently and tenderly, her pale lips kissing Ye Wen's eyes with such tenderness.

"I can."

"As you wish."
