Chapter 234: The Fifth Male Lead

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: The Fifth Male Lead

Although Haruko couldn’t poke her head out to see exactly what happened.

She could glean a thing or two from the conversations of the few people.

At the main entrance of the villa, the elegant young man in a white suit was receiving compliments from a crowd of guests; it seemed everyone wanted his friendship.

This young man accepted everyone who came, but didn’t notice the somewhat ashen face of another young man beside him.

Haruko had already learned about the early plot of this Divine Doctor male lead in the original work.

Chu Lingfeng’s encounter with Ichiko in the original work occurred after the original host, Haruko, scratched her face, leading to an accidental meeting with this Divine Doctor male lead.

Perhaps due to the great female lead’s halo or some other reason, the Divine Doctor male lead fell in love with Ichiko at first sight, not minding her ugly face at all, and became her friend.

He gradually showcased his medical skills and spent over half a year slowly healing Ichiko’s face.

Until the appearance of the wealthy woman from the heavens in the later stages, this Divine Doctor male lead was devoted to Ichiko.

Especially during the period of treating Ichiko, the original author even opened a separate volume specifically for Chu Lingfeng.

His presence in the middle of the original work was far stronger than Inari and Shin.

And he was also liked by many readers.

He seems like a pretty good male lead, right?

But the perspectives of readers and authors are different.

Sometimes a reader’s sudden flash of inspiration is not even within the author’s expectation.

This is also why the saying "copying comments" exists, because readers are truly genius.

Haruko was a creator in her previous life, and after spending emotional points to read the original work, she did so with the intention of finding flaws.

Delving into the details of the original work, one can actually find that the portrayal of the several male leads is very distinct.

Sento, the domineering CEO.

To put it nicely, he is strong, domineering, and exclusively doting; to put it less nicely, he is extremely self-centered and cannot tolerate anything that doesn’t go his way. Under the original author’s portrayal, he is only presented to readers with a predominantly positive image.

After the wealthy female supporting character descended from the heavens, because she was as beautiful as Ichiko and her family’s influence was more valuable than Ichiko’s War God Father, Sento betrayed her without hesitation.

Inari, the cheerful and sunny big boy.

In the original work’s portrayal, he himself is a somewhat goofy character responsible for comedy and laughs, a character leaning towards the ’defeated dog’. The most common complaint from readers was that, despite being the pair with the best relationship with the female lead Ichiko, the original work, for the sake of creating fan wars, often had him inexplicably go offline.

As a result, in the middle and later stages, Inari, who had to leave Ichiko due to family reasons, actually received favorable reviews and recognition from most readers.

Shin, the rational and aloof persona who prioritizes benefits.

The original work’s portrayal of him is very simple and clear. Ichiko’s War God Father could help him regain the Si family inheritance, so he went all-in on Ichiko. Under the author’s big hand, after a period of love and hate, he naturally regained power.

However, in the later stages, the Si family faced a devastating disaster, the War God Father was already dead, and the only solution was the female supporting character who descended from the heavens.

Between his family and Ichiko, Shin chose the former.

Murasaki, the Dragon King who returned from the overseas battlefield.

In the original work, he was very ruffian and keeping his promise was his greatest strength, but the original author’s portrayal of this character was very unsuccessful.

After meeting Ichiko, as the Dragon King, he needed to endure for three years before he could truly exert his strength. The author’s original intention was for him to build Ichiko’s favorability for three years, acting as a major supporter for Ichiko in the later stages.

However, before the three-year period was up, the wealthy female supporting character parachuted in.

He kept enduring, and while enduring, he simply disappeared from the novel.

Among the five male leads, Chu Lingfeng is the last Divine Doctor male lead.

He studied under an unknown Tianshan child master, emerged from who knows which deep mountain forest at the age of 24, healed Ichiko with his "Taiyi Thirteen Needles" in over half a year, and at the same time gained the attention of many forces in Kyushu City.

Many important figures fear death, and because of this medical skill, he entered the core circle of Beijing, becoming a very important male lead in the original work.

Unlike Inari’s consistency in and out of character in the plot, in front of Ichiko, he was a pretty good-looking character. However, the original author often wrote plots where some other female supporting characters would confront Ichiko because of Chu Lingfeng, which, back and forth, made it seem like Ichiko was being jealous from the reader’s perspective.

The most classic and frequent occurrences were when Chu Lingfeng healed some important figure, and that figure would give Chu Lingfeng houses and women.

This person accepted everyone who came, and even specifically got a villa for these women to live in.

His explanation to Ichiko and the readers was that it was a gift from an important figure and couldn’t be refused.

His explanation for always having women around was that he needed some maids to maintain appearances.

His frequent physical weakness was due to excessive internal energy used for "needle crossing".

The plot was tedious and long, and Ichiko was the type who didn’t resist much and was relatively passive, always being targeted by these external female supporting characters, thus appearing to have an unclear relationship with Chu Lingfeng.

Upon closer examination, one would find that this male lead was extremely unrestrained and even more lustful than Sento.

The five major male leads, a wealthy female supporting character who descended from the heavens, plus Ichiko, the only female lead, constitute the main plot of the original work.

Countless minor characters such as Haruko, Yuna, War God Father, Second Young Master Ye, the Si family’s eldest brother, etc., were all just backdrops for showing off and face-slapping.

And now, due to her influence, the original plot line was completely messed up, and Haruko had to pay extra attention to this Divine Doctor male lead.

She secretly glanced at the System store.

[Snow White’s Poisoned Apple: Price 3000 emotional points]

Now she only had 700 emotional points left. If she had a chance, she would save up and treat this Divine Doctor male lead to an apple.

Speaking of which, the emotional points provided by Ichiko and others were getting less and less.

This new character could provide a lot of emotional points.

While Haruko was lost in thought, the few of them had already gotten out of the car in the parking lot.

Led by Inari, the four people, all well-dressed, instantly captured the attention of the passing guests.

"Who is that leading? How dare he dress like that for Clan Elder Si’s birthday banquet?"

"He looks kind of silly."

"Shhh! Are you tired of living? That’s Inari, the only son of the Dongfang Family. Not to mention Si Zhenliu, even the current head of the Si family has to give him some face."

The flattery from the surroundings was endless. He was indeed very flamboyant in his red trench coat.

But precisely because of this, he completely overshadowed Ichiko’s brilliance, so no one’s attention was immediately focused on Ichiko.

The few of them quickly approached the manor gate, and they didn’t even need invitations; the greeters there had already noticed them.

The frustrated young man beside Chu Lingfeng was the first to run over.

Inari raised an eyebrow upon seeing this and said to Shin, "This Divine Doctor lacks foresight, daring to steal your brother’s thunder."

Looking at the young man running over, Shin pouted, "He better have some real skill to treat Haruko, otherwise, once I take over the Si family in Kyushu City, I’ll be the first to kick him out!"

Haruko hung on Ichiko’s waist, secretly glanced at Shin, and agreed deeply with his words.

He must be kicked out!

However, just as the words fell, Chu Lingfeng in the white suit also happened to look this way.

The first person he met eyes with was Akina in a formal dress.

Then his gaze naturally bypassed Akina and stopped on Ichiko, who was following behind.

Without any disguise, his gaze lingered directly.

And at this moment, Haruko also, without any disguise, fixed her gaze on this Divine Doctor male lead.

She decided to retract the statement about kicking him out.

Hanging on Ichiko’s waist, swaying gently with her movements, Haruko’s body remained still, but her eyes emitted a strange and dangerous light under the twilight.
