Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's odd expression, Lu Jiaoyue grew even more flustered. "Sis... should I not have sent him a message like that?"

"Hmm, no, that's not quite right either. The Original Novel was mostly a sweet, doting romance, so there weren't actually that many setbacks between the leads. To be precise... they're
