Depressive Screenwriter

Because no big-name celebrities were invited, the 15 million investment for "Gu Xiang Si Qu" was basically all used to improve the quality of the drama.

Unlike the original "Gu Xiang Si Qu" in Su Yan's previous life, which claimed to be a palace but the scene felt like a small courtyard, lacking the majestic aura.

Nishimura Rie took a deep breath.

Her emotions were guided by the sorrowful guzheng interlude.

In the drama, the beautiful woman in red turned her head to look at Shen Buyan, her hands crossed on her lap, her knuckles slightly clenched.

Nishimura Rie wouldn't miss such details.

She was nervous, nervous about this meeting.

The meticulously arranged, spotless palace, the red new dress, and the carefully crafted makeup all reminded the audience from a side perspective of how much this red-dressed woman valued this meeting.

In the television, the red-dressed woman got up and walked towards Shen Buyan, her eyes carrying a hint of anticipation.

[You've come. I've been waiting for you for a long time.]

[Do we know each other?] Shen Buyan asked.

The expectation in the red-dressed woman's eyes instantly shattered. She was silent for a moment, then said with a smile.

[We don't know each other now, but we will in the future.]

Nishimura Rie looked at Gu Qingyuan's face as the camera zoomed in. Although she didn't quite understand the plot.

For some reason, a sense of sadness was brewing.

This emanated from Gu Qingyuan's acting skills.

While Nishimura Rie was still pondering, in the next second, Shen Buyan directly pulled out a sharp short dagger from his sleeve and held it against Lu Yan's neck in the drama.

The nearby Yi Hua was panicked.

[What are you doing? Empress Lu Yan.] Shen Buyan said.

[How did you know it was me?] A trace of anticipation flashed in Lu Yan's eyes.

Nishimura Rie had a feeling that she didn't care that Shen Buyan was holding a dagger to her neck. What she was anticipating was something else.

For example, had Shen Buyan seen her before?

[Your people brought me from the imperial study, and no one stopped me along the way.]

Shen Buyan began his reasoning.

After the reasoning was over, the second expectation that arose in Lu Yan's eyes was also shattered.

She looked at Shen Buyan.

[The first time you see me,] Lu Yan paused here.

[You want to kill me?]

Lu Yan waved her hand, and Shen Buyan's wrist holding the dagger instantly lost control and loosened.

Nishimura Rie blinked.

So handsome.

Is this drama where Teacher Su Yan plays an ordinary person, and Lu Yan is the combat power?.

It's reversed!

Unable to win and in Lu Yan's palace, what could the male lead Shen Buyan do?

He just wanted to know what Lu Yan's purpose was.

[I know you have many doubts.] Lu Yan walked to the window, looked at the rain outside, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Nishimura Rie's heart pounded.

So beautiful.

[You do three things for me, and I'll answer three questions for you.]

This was Lu Yan's purpose in having Yi Hua bring Shen Buyan here.

In order to learn more about the secrets of Sheng Country to complete the second volume of his novel, Shen Buyan naturally accepted this proposal with pleasure, even feeling like he had made a great bargain.

[How about I do a few more things, and you answer a few more questions for me?]

Lu Yan turned her back to Shen Buyan, a smile blooming on her face. At this moment, the hearts of a bunch of late-night viewers in Xia Country, like Nishimura Rie's just now, skipped a beat.

[Just three things, just three questions.]

[Don't worry, Master Shen, these three things will neither violate morality nor be something you can't do!] Lu Yan turned around and smiled.

[How do you know my surname is Shen?]

Lu Yan just smiled and looked at him like that, without saying anything more.

Nishimura Rie had only one feeling in her heart.

Lu Yan's eyes when looking at Shen Buyan were too sweet.

She could show this expression just by chatting with Shen Buyan like this.

Nishimura Rie straightened her body slightly.

She roughly understood that the first episode of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" was an episode that dug pits.

First of all, the male lead's time-travel was a mystery.

Lu Yan knowing he would come was a mystery.

Even the various metaphors that had been broadcast until now all indicated Lu Yan's emphasis on and familiarity with Shen Buyan.

She was 99% familiar with Shen Buyan.

But the problem was, why didn't Shen Buyan know someone who was so familiar with him?

Even more bizarre was how Lu Yan, a famous demon queen in the ancient Sheng Country's history, knew Shen Buyan?

A pile of questions occupied Nishimura Rie's heart, and the plot continued to advance.

The first thing Lu Yan asked Shen Buyan to do was to have Shen Buyan change into the clothes she had prepared in advance.

Moreover, the size of the clothes fit Shen Buyan perfectly, without any deviation.

This further confirmed Nishimura Rie's idea.

If they didn't know each other, and their relationship wasn't good, how could she prepare such well-fitting clothes?

Looking at Shen Buyan who had finished changing, Lu Yan took a step forward, wanting to straighten his collar.

But Shen Buyan took a step back, looking at her warily.

Was your action of taking a step back serious?

Nishimura Rie already felt a little uncomfortable.

The plot didn't reveal too many foreshadowings.

But the sadness in Gu Qingyuan's eyes when Shen Buyan took a step back made Nishimura Rie's heart ache.

This was purely because the actress's acting skills and emotions were too explosive, driving her emotions.

Soon, the second thing Lu Yan wanted Shen Buyan to do appeared.

Today is the third month of spring, the Shangsi Festival.

Lu Yan hoped that Shen Buyan would eat mustard greens and boiled eggs with her according to the customs of Sheng Country to get rid of the spring plague.

For the next minute of the film and television plot, Lu Yan looked at Shen Buyan with a smile as he devoured the food she had made with her own hands.

The sweetness in her eyes was about to overflow the screen.

This.

If only Yukishiro Tomoe and Kenshin in Rurouni Kenshin could live this kind of life.

The third thing.

Lu Yan ordered a curfew in the entire imperial capital.

No one in the city was allowed to go out.

Then, she invited Shen Buyan to tour the Shangsi Festival with her alone in the imperial capital.

And she asked Shen Buyan to wear a mask with a crack on the corner of his forehead when there were outsiders present.

On the other side, another line of the plot.

Li Yong, the prime minister of Sheng Country, happened to be preparing to betray Sheng Country on this day, sneak into the emperor's residence, steal the city defense maps and military secrets of Sheng Country's cities, and then prepare to leave the imperial city.

Nishimura Rie blinked.

So Li Yong is a traitor!

Then why did the previous introduction to the demon queen Lu Yan say that she killed the virtuous prime minister Li Yong and was licentious and excessive?

Moreover, Li Yong had just prepared to take advantage of the Shangsi night carnival to escape, and Lu Yan took the lead and imposed a curfew on the entire city?

Foretelling the future?

It feels like another foreshadowing.

How many pits is the first episode of this drama going to dig?

But when the scout reported to Li Yong what Empress Lu Yan was doing and why she was ordering a curfew in the entire city, the scout replied bluntly.

[Entertaining gigolos and touring the Shangsi Festival!]

Pfft.

Nishimura Rie couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gigolo?

The actor who played Himura Kenshin, the Battosai who kills without blinking an eye, is he being raised as a boy toy in the new drama?

This is too funny.

Lu Yan and Shen Buyan strolled along the empty streets.

For a country like Sheng Country, the Shangsi Festival is equivalent to the Spring Festival in Xia Country.

The Shangsi night itself was a carnival for all the people in the city, but Lu Yan, because she wanted to tour the Shangsi night, forbade everyone from going out.

Shen Buyan, wearing a cracked mask, couldn't stand it anymore.

[Imposing a curfew on the entire city for personal gain.] Shen Buyan mocked.

[Isn't it nice to have only you and me on such a wide street on the Shangsi night?] Lu Yan walked beside Shen Buyan with her hands behind her back, with a smile on her face.

Watching the drama is from God's perspective. The plot of Li Yong's line has already revealed a lot of information.

Viewers with brains can actually guess that Lu Yan must have known through some channel that Li Yong was going to betray the country and surrender to the enemy and was preparing to escape tonight, so she imposed a curfew on the entire city.

But the male lead Shen Buyan didn't know and began to morally condemn Lu Yan.

[Have you considered the feelings of the people? The imperial capital is not your imperial capital alone.]

[Then tonight, just treat me as an ordinary person.]

Lu Yan put her hands behind her back, turned sideways, her eyes complex, but a smile appeared on her lips as she asked.

[Okay?]

[Treat you as an ordinary person?] Shen Buyan asked with a strange expression.

The BGM began to become sad.

[In my next life, I hope to be an ordinary person. To be a carefree person, and never be an empress again.] Lu Yan paused and said.

[Why?] Shen Buyan asked in confusion.

[This is your first question.] Lu Yan said.

[There are many regrets in the world, but you have to obey your destiny.]

This was a riddle-like answer.

[What regrets?] Shen Buyan, who was still thinking about the inspiration material for the second volume of his novel, asked.

[This is the second question.]

[My regret is not having a good Shangsi Festival with someone.]

Lu Yan looked at Shen Buyan.

At this point, as long as the audience who watched the drama and thought a little all knew who Lu Yan was talking about.

[Who is that person?] Shen Buyan asked stupidly as expected.

[This is the third question?] Lu Yan said.

[The third question.] Shen Buyan nodded.

It's you!

Nishimura Rie had already stopped thinking about why Shen Buyan was Lu Yan's most important person. This kind of thing would definitely be solved in the later episodes.

But at this moment, just from the way Lu Yan looked at you in the drama, couldn't you tell?

[Next time, you'll know.]

Lu Yan chuckled and didn't directly answer the third question, continuing to be a riddle person.

But Nishimura Rie keenly noticed something was wrong.

Next time.

What does that mean?

Is it the next time we meet, or something else?

[Why did you go back on your word when you said you would answer the question?] Shen Buyan became anxious.

[I am the demon queen, tyrannical and willful, I can do whatever I want.]

Lu Yan had an unreasonable smile on her face.

She looked at the willow branches on the roadside, walked over quickly, broke one off, dipped the willow branches in the water in the water tank, and suddenly turned around and shook it at Shen Buyan, who was chasing after her and angrily condemning her.

The dew on the tiny branches scattered, and Shen Buyan looked at Lu Yan with a dazed expression.

[What are you doing?]

[This is the custom of the Shangsi Festival in Sheng Country, dipping willow branches in dew to cleanse and remove disasters.]

Lu Yan raised the willow branches with both hands with an expectant look, hoping that he would pick up the branches.

[I never celebrate festivals, this kind of thing.]

[It's meaningless to me.] Shen Buyan was still angry that Lu Yan hadn't answered his third question.

Who was that important person to her.

At this moment, neither Nishimura Rie nor all the viewers in front of the TV realized that Shen Buyan's sentence "It's meaningless to me".

After the setting of this drama is revealed in the next few episodes, it will become the most depressing and abusive sentence in the whole drama.

Lu Yan turned around and turned her back to Shen Buyan, her fingers clenched the branches. She was silent for a long time before responding.

[It will be meaningful.]
