Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 103

Before the audience who just wanted to watch the plot could protest, the scene quickly changed, and Ruan Qiu appeared on the screen expressionlessly. The notes in her hand were magnified by the camera, and the editor captioned in blood-red letters: “Eunuch Ruan, hidden identity: double-faced undercover agent, actually an aspiring usurper.”

Ruan Qiu’s cold expression contrasted sharply with her previous demeanor, and as the audience recalled the ambiguous atmosphere between Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu just now, they couldn’t see Ruan Qiu’s intentions of regicide at all, suddenly feeling complex emotions and even a little pity for Xue Wu.

Without further ado, the editor directly revealed the hidden identities of the other guests, and the music became eerie.

After seeing the hidden identities of the other guests, the audience was almost numb, and the live comments decreased significantly.

[What kind of plot is this? Did the director go bald from thinking about it?]

[My head is also about to go bald. Are palace intrigues really this complicated??]

[This character Ping’er is not simple at all. She’s involved in almost every relationship line.]

[Eight minutes… Can you really finish watching everything in eight minutes?]

After introducing the hidden identities, the scene switched back to the Imperial Medical place, where Ruan Qiu had already changed her clothes. She began analyzing a long segment of clues to Xue Wu, leaving the audience stunned.

In order to help the audience better understand what Ruan Qiu was saying, the editor divided the screen into two parts. Each time Ruan Qiu mentioned a key clue on the left side of the screen, the corresponding plot would appear on the right side.

In the right-side screen, the uploader also used subtitles to distinguish between the plot points that Ruan Qiu already knew and the ones she speculated about. The audience was amazed to see that Ruan Qiu concluded so much from Ping’er’s lines, snippets of eavesdropped conversations with the Empress Dowager, and some seemingly useless clues, and all of it turned out to be correct. They once again exclaimed at how outrageous it was and joked about Ruan Qiu being beyond human comprehension.

As the plot continued, when the audience saw Ruan Qiu confessing her poisoning to Xue Wu, they almost had a heart attack, fearing that Xue Wu would order Ruan Qiu’s “execution” in anger.

But when Xue Wu said, “I know,” the scene once again split into two parts, and the events in the main hall began to play synchronously. The audience saw Xue Wu learning about Ruan Qiu’s poisoning, Qi Ying presenting the poison, the physicians preparing the antidote for Empress Wan based on the poison, and their feelings became even more complex.

[Well, if it’s mutual consent, then it’s fine.]

[Although I really want to say the uploader is adding personal stuff, this is indeed a crucial plot point… And it’s also quite enjoyable.]

[Is the uploader trying to deceive us into shipping the CP?! Fine, I’ll grant your wish now. I hereby declare that I’m their shipper!]

The subsequent plot was basically not subjected to special editing. The editor arranged it in chronological order, and the screen was still divided into two halves, synchronously showing the rebellion led by the Fourth Prince with Bai Jinyao and other guests, and the scene of Ruan Qiu and Xue Wu setting out to find clues, skipping their walking process and compressing time.

When Ruan Qiu and Xue Wu found Empress Wan and obtained crucial clues, those who had previously doubted Ruan Qiu’s speculations fell silent.

The subsequent death of Yuan Xiang deeply moved the audience, and the comments filled the screen with tears and curses against the director.

The screen once again merged, and the scene returned to the main hall, where all the guests gathered for the final showdown. Having been impressed by Ruan Qiu’s performance earlier, the audience didn’t question the reason behind her not appearing in the final showdown. They cheered for her one after another and even left comments on her Weibo, expressing their desire to see her in a martial arts drama.

Jiang Yan’s act of “killing” the Fourth Prince for Ruan Qiu shocked the barrage. Those who were previously shipping Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu started to hesitate, thinking about changing their shipping preferences.

[This romantic subplot really shocked me. Even if the UP host is smuggling goods, I accept it. Love in the palace is too addictive!]

[I dare not fast forward, afraid of missing any clues. How did Ruan Qiu come up with so much?]

[Actually, I don’t understand anymore… I just think Ruan Qiu is so amazing, single-handedly driving the whole scene.]

After the army arrived and the rebellion was resolved, viewers thought the video was about to end. But looking at the progress bar, they realized there were still two minutes left.

So the viewers continued watching. When they saw Ruan Qiu take something out of the dragon throne, they thought it was the real decree. Just as they were getting excited, they heard Ruan Qiu read out the content of the decree, and had to restrain their excitement, guessing where the real decree was.

The process of dismantling the dragon throne was omitted. Viewers looked at the debris all over the floor, unable to see the trace of the decree, worrying that it might not have been found. Just as they were about to fast forward, the scene switched again. Everyone had left the hall, ready to rest.

In the video, Ruan Qiu suddenly stopped, saying she knew where the decree was.

The curiosity of the viewers was piqued. They watched Ruan Qiu step by step up the stone steps, explaining. They suddenly realized and couldn’t help applauding for Ruan Qiu. After the decree was read out, Ruan Qiu’s disgusted expression made them burst into laughter, lightening the atmosphere.

Just when the viewers thought the palace intrigue was over, the scene suddenly changed – Ruan Qiu ran away.

As the viewers praised Ruan Qiu’s escape plan, amazed at how she used paper-cutting as her decoy, they were captivated by her interrogation of the Empress. They even forgot to make fun of it.

At the end of the video, Ruan Qiu gently took the Empress’ hand and left through the back door of the cold palace.

The editor used a little trick. He displayed Ruan Qiu’s figure and the scene from the beginning, slowly overlapping and merging the two images, accompanied by sentimental music. When Ruan Qiu reached the end of the palace gate, the screen gradually darkened.

White subtitles appeared again, this time reading: “Years later, she finally escaped from the palace and welcomed her own freedom.”

This video was replayed several times by the viewers. Some were rewatching to catch plot points, but many were moved by the atmosphere of the video and couldn’t help watching it again and again.
