Chapter 49: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
At first, Yun Qing was still struggling desperately, because she was really afraid that the plot would not be able to turn back.
Seeing that she kept making a fuss, Yan Chen grabbed her hand, pressed it against his heart, and whispered in her ear, "I feel heartache too."
Yun Qing's fingertips trembled, and her struggling movements paused involuntarily.
"Ouch...it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Yan Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Serves you right!"
The thought that Yun Qing might do something terrible if he didn't get there in time made him want to explode.
"You're still yelling at me? You jerk!"
"Who's the bigger jerk between us?"
"You're such a scumbag, ...... Tell me, aren't you a scumbag?"
After shouting fiercely, she suddenly remembered her persona and pitifully sobbed a couple of times.
Yan Chen couldn't help but soften, kissed her reddened eyes, and coaxed, "Yeah, I'm a jerk."
Yun Qing immediately pressed her advantage, "Do you know that you're being a pervert? You've gone too far!"
Yan Chen said matter-of-factly, "You didn't push me away, so wasn't it consensual?"
Yun Qing: Nonsense! Who said it was consensual? Didn't I want to push you away in the first place?
However, Yan Chen was quite strong, and she couldn't completely disregard her character for the sake of the plot, so she couldn't push him away at all. She could only hope that Yan Chen would take pity on her and let her go since she was unwilling.
However, it's clear that Yan Chen is determined to devour her this time, and he's even resorting to a self-inflicted injury tactic—that's going too far!
Yun Qing reached out and pushed him, "I'm pushing you now, get off me!"
Yan Chen pressed her hand down and chuckled, "Don't you think it's too late?"
In fact, if Yun Qing was truly unwilling and resistant, Yan Chen would not force her.
After all, he couldn't help but soften his heart if she shed a couple of tears.
But she would always struggle and push him away a couple of times, then reach out and hug and kiss him in a daze. When she came to her senses and remembered that she should push him away, she would struggle a couple of times again.
Who could resist this push-and-pull dynamic?
Yun Qing was still being stubborn, "I don't think it's too late!"
Since things had already come to this, Yun Qing was too lazy to struggle anymore, but she wouldn't lose face even if she lost the argument!
Yan Chen raised an eyebrow. It seemed the pain had subsided, so he could go even further.
Despite losing the argument, Yun Qing tearfully promised never to flirt or misbehave again, and to avoid Yan Xiu whenever she saw him in the future.

When Yun Qing woke up the next day, she didn't turn into a rag doll. Instead, she lay on the bed, motionless, as if she had lost her soul.
【system.】
The system emerged from the small dark room and asked, "Host, what's wrong?"
Yun Qing sobbed, "[I've been completely taken advantage of by Yan Chen, I'm so anxious!]"
System: ...No, why is it anxiety?
People usually have premarital anxiety, why are you having post-wedding anxiety?
The system, still puzzled, reassured her: "You don't seem sad or upset at all. You like Yan Chen, right? And Yan Chen obviously likes you too, so there's nothing to be anxious about!"
Yun Qing stared at the ceiling, utterly dejected, and said, "What do you know? I have no memories of myself. Who knows if I had anyone I liked before? What if I cheated on my husband? That would be so unfair to him!"
The system was full of questions: "You're only getting around to this now? Didn't you already 'cheate' on your partner' a long time ago?"
Before this, you and Yan Chen had already done almost everything you should and shouldn't have done. It was just one last step away. Doesn't that count as "cheating"?
I hadn't thought of this before!
System: ...I can see that. You're experiencing post-sleep anxiety and overthinking.
Yun Qing was depressed for a minute, then suddenly regained her energy.
system:???
Aren't you worried about betraying your husband?
Yun Qing stated logically and with evidence: "I don't think I have a husband. I never called him by the wrong name when Yan Chen bullied me."
System: ...Suddenly I don't know what to say.
After figuring this out, Yun Qing started to worry about the plot again.
[System, how can we salvage this plot?!]
In fact, this was the source of her anxiety, and she couldn't help but regret her impulsive actions.
The situation is now as bad as it gets: the male lead has been defiled by the vicious female supporting character, and the female lead is pregnant with another man's child. It's a complete mess.
She couldn't help but wonder if she was unsuitable for missions. Perhaps only those who were rational enough and wouldn't act on emotion were suitable to be mission takers.
System: [You haven't given up yet? You're trying to drive Yan Chen crazy! Let me tell you, don't be fooled by Yan Chen's calm and composed demeanor. He can even control his rage when you try to cheat on him. In reality, someone like that is the most terrifying when he loses control and goes berserk!]
Yun Qing fell silent.
She didn't want to either! But what could she do?
The system stammered, "[Host...actually, you don't need to be so fixated on correcting the plot.]"
Yun Qing frowned instantly. [What do you mean? I played the villainous supporting character precisely to ensure the plot followed its predetermined course, leading the male and female leads to their deserved ending, so the world wouldn't collapse and their souls wouldn't be damaged, right?]
Damage to the soul is definitely more serious than physical death.
With their souls intact, the male and female protagonists will be able to reincarnate peacefully in the small world created by the Reincarnation Disc.
However, if the soul is damaged, in severe cases, it may be completely destroyed and disappear from the world.
The system, forcing a smile, said: "The collapse of the small world was not due to the plot."
Yun Qing: [So it wasn't the original villainous female supporting character who caused the world to collapse because of something wrong? Then why did you make me play the villainous female supporting character?]
Because your existence can prevent the world from collapsing.
Yun Qing: ...What the hell? What's my identity? Am I that powerful?
Since I've already said it, the system doesn't mind explaining it more clearly.
[Actually, I asked you to play the villainous supporting character well, and not to deviate from the character's persona or the plot, simply for your safety. I was afraid that the Heavenly Court would discover your impropriety and eliminate you.]
If the plot deteriorates because of the male and female leads, and the responsibility doesn't lie with you, then there's no problem.
Yun Qing suddenly realized that, in other words, the Heavenly Dao allows the male and female protagonists to deviate from the plot.
That makes sense! The male and female protagonists are the creator of the small world and the creator's beloved, so the creator certainly wouldn't allow the Heavenly Dao to erase them.
However, if anyone else has a problem, they will be eliminated immediately, their souls and bodies destroyed, so as not to affect their love storyline.
Perhaps the creators were worried that someone might rescue their unfortunate sweetheart or deliberately sabotage their relationship?
Therefore, as long as she doesn't deviate from her character and doesn't intentionally disrupt the plot, it's none of her business if the plot goes astray, and the small world won't collapse just because the plot goes astray.
In other words, there won't be any serious consequences for her being with Yan Chen!
Yun Qing wanted to know why the small world collapsed, why her existence could prevent the small world from collapsing, and who she really was.
However, the system remained tight-lipped, only saying that she would naturally find out in time and that there was no need to think about it now.
Unable to pry it open, Yun Qing decided to put the matter aside for the time being and prepare to settle accounts with the system.
Were you deliberately misleading me all along?
