"Oh, why are you so stubborn?" Sensing the system's resistance, Lu Xiaoxiao sighed and explained in more detail. "I'm really not just doing whatever I feel like. Think carefully: why did the Original Novel include the Original Host as a character? Wasn't her essential purpose to get in the way of the main couple's romantic progress?"
"Hmmmm, that's not quite accurate either. More like an obstacle that ultimately has the opposite effect. After all, the leads still have to end up together, but without all those twists and turns along the way, the novel wouldn't last very long. That's why the character Lu Xiaoxiao exists."
"So if I get along better with Lu Jiaoyue and create obstacles some other way, doesn't that amount to the same thing? Like whispering in her ear and telling her to spend less time with the male lead. That would naturally make his pursuit of her more difficult!"
"The same goes for everyone else in the Lu Family. If I help them fight off the company's crisis later and keep Lu Jiaoyue's family standing a little longer, Gu Sipei won't find it so easy to control her. Then the romance will have even more, more, more, more twists! My verdict: better than the Original Novel. Clap if you get it."
The system: "..."
A few seconds later, the system silently played a recording of applause inside Lu Xiaoxiao's head.
Well, its host's approach to solving the problem seemed a little bizarre, but she made such a convincing case that it actually sounded pretty logical.
"Then... even if we accept that you really intend to do this, shouldn't your change in attitude be a little less sudden? You just went straight into hugging Lu Jiaoyue, but you were quite distant back at the Lu Family home.
