I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Unexpectedly, there are dialogues with other characters, which posed a challenge for Song Weili.

He thought for a while before concocting a reason: "The guards are behind us. I thought that since we’re already outside the Imperial Palace, we don’t need to be that cautious anymore, so I had him walk ahead. Brother, are you heading back somewhere? Back to the palace?"

"I won’t be returning to the palace. You go back. Next time when you go out, remember to bring enough guards."

"Yes, yes, yes, I get it."

After saying that, he quickly took Xu Jihua and ran off. His role in these three stories should be the easiest and most relaxed to play, after all, he’s a "simple child," so whatever action he takes would be normal.

Cheng Zhirang watched them walk away before continuing his path to the right, walking all the way to the General Mansion’s entrance. The servant guarding the gate saw him and immediately in a panic opened the door and swiftly ran to deliver the message.

The three stories are interwoven, and the characters can visit each other like a neighborly interaction, coupled with extras everywhere, resembling real ancient life.

Upon learning that Cheng Zhirang had gone to the General Mansion to act alongside Shu Ran and the others, Mu Qiu pondered for a while before deciding to go bother Shi Yuhuai.

She pushed open the door, tiptoed toward the small dark room next door, frequently turning her head to scrutinize her surroundings with a sneaky demeanor.

Upon reaching the door of the small dark room, she attempted to glance inside through the crack. Alas, the door of this ancient building was quite airtight, and she saw nothing.

With a creak, she directly pushed the door open and carefully shut it behind her.

"Mr. Huai."

Inside, Shi Yuhuai’s eyelid twitched.

Mu Qiu lifted her skirt, ran up to him, and trembled as she cradled his face, scrutinizing from side to side: "He didn’t do anything to you, did he?"

Shi Yuhuai remained silent and motionless, even closing his eyes openly.

A lifeless appearance.

Even staying motionless has its advantages, as Mu Qiu inspected him from head to toe, noticing the pale yellow stains on his clothes, wrinkling her nose to sniff the air, and then feigning a look of shock and horror.

"Mr. Huai! Why is there such a strong smell of medicine! He made you take drugs? What drugs?!"

Chattering endlessly, as it seemed she intended to pretend she didn’t know he was mute and persistently tried to get him to respond.

Shi Yuhuai opened his eyes, making a couple of painful "ah" noises towards her, followed by rapid wheezy sounds, like a broken bellows.

Mu Qiu performed a shock-to-terror expression, stumbled backward, and plopped down on the ground.

"You, you... you can’t speak anymore? Can’t talk?"

Shi Yuhuai made a couple more "ah" sounds: Yes, so what?! So can you stop using questions and end this scene with two or three statements!

Mu Qiu, bewildered and distraught: "How could this happen? How could this happen? Cause this to happen? It’s my fault, it’s my fault for harming you! Mr. Huai! It’s my fault for harming you!"

Shi Yuhuai: As long as you understand.

"What to do?! How did things turn out this way?! How could he be so cruel?! It’s my fault, all my fault for harming you, harming the Huainan Royal Mansion!"

She crawled closer, raised her head to look at him, tears streaming unconsciously as she sobbed, "Mr. Huai, I’ll get you out, okay? I’ll find a way, there has to be a way, I’ll send you away. You can’t fight against him, it’s been so long, your father hasn’t made any move to find you. He is the monarch! A monarch deciding a minister’s fate is merely a word!"

After she said that, she blankly wondered: "But if you go out, what about me? Can I still go out... No, he won’t allow me to leave, even if I escape, the Huainan Royal Mansion wouldn’t accept me. But what did I do wrong? In the end, I have nowhere to go, only to be stuck here."

"Hahaha, I can’t escape! Even if I escape, it’s just fleeing from this tiger’s mouth to an infamous snake pit! I married into the Huainan Royal Mansion for just half a month before being abducted by the Crown Prince! My reputation is already tarnished, and I caused you to become like you are now, I’ll only become a notorious scapegoat everyone targets!"

She slumped down, tears streaming as she looked at Shi Yuhuai.

This character, or "she," was always a proud woman from childhood, treated as a treasure by the Crown Prince during her maiden years, certainly well-pampered by her family, even after the Crown Prince married elsewhere, no one dared to look down on her.

Moreover, she could still turn to marry the Princely Heir of Huainan, earning his favor. Such constant smooth sailing means except for her beloved marrying another causing her heartache, other sordid things have never reached her.

She grew up amidst riches, used to a life of affluence and favoritism by all. If at this time the whole world knew she married the Princely Heir of Huainan, then was abducted by the current Crown Prince to become a mistress, losing her purity, and even caused the Crown Prince to go mad, imprison and poison-mute the Princely Heir of Huainan, due to power, she would surely receive the most blame.

She would transform from a favored child into a scandalous disgrace loathed by everyone. Her family wouldn’t dare approach her, her husband’s family would be kind not to hate her, and the Crown Prince would surely watch her closely.

So, if they escape, the situation would not only not improve but worsen. Is there even a need to escape?

If they don’t escape, would she just remain as a captive, with her husband separately confined here in Qingyin Pavilion, waiting for the Crown Prince? Even with a bit of personal relation with the Crown Prince, would he constantly love her? With this husband present, it would only repeatedly remind the Crown Prince that the person he likes has already married someone else, has already been with someone else.

Then, is there any way to change this deadlock?

Mu Qiu once again looked at Shi Yuhuai, kneeling in front of him, straightened her upper body, moved closer and incoherently said:

"Mr. Huai, we can’t escape, we’ll be locked here for life, becoming subjects of the Crown Prince’s abuse. It’s my fault for provoking him in my youth and marrying you, making you bear his indiscriminate wrath. Do you remember when you proposed to me, saying you loved me dearly, willing to do anything or pay any price for me."

"Now is the time to fulfill that promise, Mr. Huai, even if escaping is futile, given your current condition... I can’t bear to watch a favored son like you reduced to this state, better to be shattered than to compromise, that’s what you taught me. But now pottery can be broken to preserve the jade. I need your help."

She immersed herself into this role, reluctant to admit her own baseness, not wanting to meet Shi Yuhuai’s eyes, she circumvented to his back, approached his ear, and whispered a few words.

Then she went outside to fetch paper and pen, returned to grip Shi Yuhuai’s hand, laboriously writing a genuine "letter of divorce."

By the time Cheng Zhirang returned, she had already placed that hand-stamped letter of divorce on the table and lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling.

The story has reached this point, the twist has come. But Cheng Zhirang didn’t know how she would portray this reversal, he was a bit curious upon seeing the letter of divorce.

"You met him again. What’s the meaning of the letter of divorce? Do you agree to divorce him?"

Mu Qiu’s voice was hoarse, still staring at the ceiling: "Let him go, we’ve already divorced, let him leave."
