Chapter 640: The Female Lead in the Book (4)
“The leader of the martial arts world assisted Shanglin in surrounding and eliminating bandits. He’s not only handsome and skilled in martial arts but also possesses the ability to rally heroes from the martial arts world. His status within the martial arts community is said to be comparable to that of an emperor in the palace.”
“Hence, he has become a topic of widespread conversation.”
“Considering the proximity, it’s not surprising that the news reached us.” “During the discussion, they mentioned a girl named Ruolan and spoke of her in almost mythical terms.”
“That’s why I took the liberty to inquire with the Third Prince. Surprisingly, he wasn’t well-acquainted with this girl.”
As Qin Zhenzhen explained, Su Bin’s understanding deepened.
“Wife, why not enlighten me on what makes Miss Ruolan so extraordinary?”
Qin Zhenzhen responded, “They mentioned that she grew up in a mountain village, concealing her martial arts skills learned from her master. Rumors suggest she possesses a carefree personality and surpasses even men in skill.”
Su Bin contemplated this information.
“We’ll soon discover her true nature when we meet her tonight.”
While Qin Zhenzhen focused on the female lead beside the Third Prince, Su Bin paid attention to any remarkable individual who emerged.
True to expectations, a letter arrived that night.
Su Bin shared the contents with Qin Zhenzhen, who finally grasped the situation.
As it turned out, the Third Prince and his associates had prearranged communication with the leader of the martial arts world, facilitating early contact with the bandits of Gongwang Mountain.
The bandits had already agreed to submit to the Third Prince, negating the need for him to venture alone. Nevertheless, the female protagonist did cross over simultaneously and found herself confronted by two formidable tigers. Being the female lead, her demise was implausible. Although the male protagonist missed saving her, the leader of the martial arts world stepped in and rescued her.
This interaction significantly altered the trajectory of the original book. Would the female lead ultimately fall in love with the infatuated male supporting character, the young and handsome leader of the martial arts world?
In the original narrative, the leader of martial arts world was the infatuated supporting character. While he encountered the female lead slightly later than the Third Prince, he developed a deep and passionate attraction to her. The female lead’s feelings for him were also nuanced, leading her at one point to contemplate abandoning the Third Prince in favor of the martial arts world leader.
The complexity arose from the female lead’s awareness that the Third Prince was destined to become the emperor. Envisioning a future where he would have a multitude of beauties waiting for his affections, she couldn’t accept sharing him with so many women. Being from the modern world, such a scenario was inconceivable to her.
Although the Third Prince assured her she would be the sole member of his harem, she still feared the worst outcome. The first undesirable possibility was that despite his initial declaration, he might eventually succumb to the allure of new experiences. As time passed, the deeper his love, the more painful the potential outcome would be.
The second undesirable outcome was that he might be compelled to tread the same path as other emperors.
The unpredictable dynamics of the imperial court could lead to unforeseen changes in the future. If a day came when his throne teetered on the brink of collapse and he deemed it necessary to rely on concubines to stabilize it, the question arose: would she consent to his taking a concubine or vehemently oppose it?
Irrespective of her stance, she would inevitably be the one bearing the emotional injury..
