Despite Being Pursued As a Villain, All The Heroines On My Side?-Chapter 166.1: One side is working hard, the other side is also working hard (Part 1)
Su Mingyuan scratched his head, suddenly realizing something.
Was that just an act?
Would Ruoruo be playing his wife in the drama?
No wonder she referred to me as her husband.
However, as he reflected on Liu Mengning's recent performance, he couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of unease.
Setting aside her controlling sister, Su Xuelan, even Ruoruo, who had always been well-behaved, would likely exhibit a touch of jealousy upon learning he was involved with other women. She might pout and ask for a kiss.
But here, Mengning had taken the initiative to let Ruoruo kiss him in the name of acting, even in her presence. Shouldn't she be jealous?
Su Mingyuan couldn't quite fathom it.
A woman's heart was often likened to a needle in the sea, and he genuinely struggled to grasp what Liu Mengning was thinking.
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
It turned out that Liu Mengning, noticing his prolonged silence, had opened the door once more.
"Mingyuan, why didn't you knock on the door?" Her eyes held a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Oh." Su Mingyuan nodded, belatedly acknowledging her point.
The door closed.
A knock at the door.
Ruoruo entered, softly calling him her husband. She approached him, blushing slightly as she adjusted the wrinkles in his clothes. She hugged him, planted a light kiss on his cheek, and exchanged a few affectionate words.
She looked remarkably like a newlywed bride.
Liu Mengning chuckled and remarked, "I was thinking that if Ruoruo gets too nervous to perform, I might have to demonstrate for you."
Ruoruo's face grew even redder.
"Alright, bring your husband and sit here."
Liu Mengning poured some tea and then turned her gaze to Su Mingyuan. "Mingyuan, you came to see me. What's on your mind?"
Su Mingyuan didn't hold back his concerns and requested to read Liu Mengning's new script.
Soon, the script was in Su Mingyuan's hands.
After reading it, Su Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In simple terms, the story revolved around the appearance of demons, triggering chaos during the twilight of a dynasty. The protagonist embarks on a journey filled with setbacks, trials, and tribulations to ultimately rescue the common people.
While it was a conventional and somewhat old-fashioned narrative, it featured a unique twist this time: the protagonist was a woman.
Yet, conventionality didn't equate to mediocrity. Quite the opposite—it suggested stability, broad audience appeal, and high marketability.
Su Mingyuan believed that Liu Mengning's script met the criteria, as a script often determined a film's box office success. While it might lack profound depth, it certainly wasn't lacking. With careful dialogue refinement, adept direction, and skillful editing, it had the potential not only to excel at the box office but also to garner favorable reviews.
Liu Mengning, respecting Su Mingyuan's perspective, hadn't overloaded him with scenes, allowing for swift filming of his parts, and ensuring he could return to his own affairs promptly.
In the film, Su Mingyuan portrayed Liu Mengning's childhood sweetheart. After an era of innocent love, their relationship had evolved into mutual affection. However, the intrusion of demons disrupted their lives. To seek vengeance, the heroine embarked on a journey to acquire the skills needed to confront these malevolent forces. Before her departure, they made a pledge to become a loving couple once she returned from her mission.
This journey spanned a decade.
Ten years later, the heroine returned, having encountered countless trials and tribulations on her odyssey. Upon reaching her hometown, she was shocked to discover that the boy who had once promised to grow old with her had wedded another woman.
At that moment, she suffered severe injuries in a demon attack, but was rescued by the young man she had once loved. He cared for her at his home during her recuperation.
However, time had wrought changes in both of them. He treated her kindly and gently, but his devotion to his wife was even more pronounced. He was no longer the young man who had been willing to give up everything for her.
Now, he was another woman's husband, and she saw him with another love.
The heroine, wounded and unable to fulfill her quest for vengeance, grappled with inner turmoil. She witnessed the love between the man she once adored and his wife every day, and her heart was besieged by inner demons.
She was consumed by a potent mix of resentment and affection. She couldn't relinquish either emotion.
During her recovery, she wrestled with internal torment, burdened by the weight of her vendetta. But then, she thought of the suffering she had witnessed during her journey, and the countless innocent souls affected by the demons. There were many who suffered more than she did.
She still loved him but no longer desired to possess him.
She still harbored animosity toward the demon who had slain her parents but now sought to protect him, safeguard the happiness of countless families, and shield humanity from the slaughter wrought by demons.
After enduring this ordeal, she emerged from the abyss, enlightened and empowered. She didn't retreat; she progressed and ascended to become a hero.
"Not bad," Su Mingyuan concluded after finishing this segment of the script.
He hadn't anticipated that Liu Mengning would add such a heart-wrenching subplot after his and Ruoruo's inclusion in the project.
Rather than disrupting the overall narrative, it seamlessly integrated, enriching the depth of the protagonist's journey and character development.
It felt… even better than their original goal for the project.
Furthermore, there weren't an excessive number of scenes requiring his filming, which meant it could be completed in just a few days. Now, he no longer worried about returning to Mingjing or the show's plot.
Things were looking quite promising, and Su Mingyuan was no longer concerned about the film's potential success. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
