(Fate of Southern Love)

(Episode 23)

You're convinced you came from another world,

just like I'm convinced I'm in love with Zhou Nan Zhi.

It's just another setup in the story.

We're in a story that keeps repeating itself.

How could it ever lose its main character?

No way.

No way.

I'm sure I did travel here from another world.

I'm a real person.

Once I finish the story,

I'll be able to go home.

I'll finally leave this place.

Do you have memories from before you arrived here?

Listen.

You have to make sure the story unfolds just like it's supposed to.

If the plot falls apart,

the author's consciousness vanishes.

You'll never be able to leave this world.

Working together

is our best option.

He lied to me.

The author's consciousness has been lying to me.

It turns out I'm fictitious.

This is just a transmigration comic.

I'm just the female lead who fell

for the male lead, stuck in this comic world.

I never traveled here, and I'm never going home.

So it was all just part of the script.

You've asked me so many times

why I couldn't accept my fate.

Now,

do you understand now?

It turns out I'm the real joke here.

I thought I was the main character who traveled here,

and I looked down on everyone else's existence.

So the script is just toying with all of us.

Go ahead, erase me.

What?

Feeling all saintly now?

After what I've done to you,

after all the people I've killed,

don't you hate me?

Every one of us

is just living in the cage the author created,

doing what he wants us to do,

saying what he wants us to say,

loving who he wants us to love.

Main character or not,

Supporting roles or not,

we're all just puppets trapped by the script.

I won't call you my friend,

but I know it's the story that made us enemies.

If I just erase others at will,

how am I any different from the author

I'm fighting against?

After fighting for so long,

I finally realize I'm just a joke.

If this story is doomed to repeat forever,

then I refuse to be fooled any longer.

What are you doing?

Luo Li.

Even if you get replaced,

there will always be another Luo Li

who is convinced she's

from another world.

You'll always be stuck in this endless loop,

awakened for a moment, but powerless to change anything.

You've fought me for so long,

and now, just like that,

you're giving in to fate.

Don't be absurd.

Jin Zhu,

let it go.

It's almost dawn.

You and Lou Si Yi want to change the rules,

to fight fate,

but it won't work.

We're always trapped in the story that's already been written.

We have never seen

the ending after our struggles.

I don't know if there will be a miracle this time,

but only by fighting back

can we find our own story

within someone else's script.

Luo Li,

we are never meant to be enemies.

If you truly can't stand being toyed by the script,

then you should fight back.

Jin Zhu,

I

Could still kill you right now.

I know.

And you

might disappear forever.

- I know. - Why?

Jin Zhu, why would you do this?

Survival

is not what I want.

I just want to think for myself,

love who I want,

and enjoy simple, free moments.

Just some ordinary moments.

And I have to

pay a price for that.

All just for Lou Si Yi.

Is it worth it? Does it even matter?

Even if

you love him,

you two could find a way outside the story.

Maybe there's another way.

Did it really have to come to this?

(Our whole existence)

(is just a story written by someone else.)

(Our names,)

(our looks,)

(our personalities,)

(our lives, every word we say is just a line from the script.)

(Everyone we love)

(is just there because the story needs it.)

(In a fate arranged by someone else,)

(the only thing I chose for myself)

(was loving him.)

(It's not about whether it's worth it.)

(Loving him is the only thing in my scripted life)

(that goes beyond the script.)

Will it work?

All I know is

they're fighting against fate.

Do you want them to succeed?

I hope they make it.

But if they do,

I'll hate myself for not having the courage to fight too.

They shouldn't be the only ones

fighting the rules.

Zhou Nan Zhi,

I don't like you.

I never liked you.

I never liked you either,

Luo Li.

I, Lou Si Yi,

take Jin Zhu as my wife today.

I love you.

And not just in this cycle.

In every cycle,

I will always love you.

I'm willing to marry Lou Si Yi and be his wife.

I love...

Jin Zhu.

Jin Zhu.

No.

No!

Open your eyes and look.

The supporting male and female leads are here.

This isn't your story.

It's not your script.

Lou Si Yi.

We

Might have lost.

No, no!

Lou Si Yi.

Lou Si Yi.

We did it.

We did it.

We did it.

We did it.

Lou Si Yi.

Are you okay?

Lou Si Yi!

You actually pulled it off.

You broke the script with your defiance.

That means the author's consciousness is gone.

But too bad, you missed one thing.

I'm still trapped inside his mind.

If I die, he dies too.

Do you know why you suddenly saw

those words floating in the air?

Only the real author

can let you see things that don't belong in this world.

So basically,

the real author

wants us to change everything

and fight the consciousness he left behind.

Once the characters break free from the script,

the author's consciousness is destroyed too.

So I have to keep this story

repeating forever.

Only then

can I exist forever.

So from the start,

you did this to save yourself.

So what if I did?

If I disappear now,

he'll disappear too.

Only if you let yourself be erased

can he survive.

As long as the first awakened variable disappears completely,

everything will go back to the way it was.

You'll be erased from everyone's memory for good.

No one else will ever wake up.

Jin Zhu, this is fate's final move.

How will you choose?

I'm sure you already know the answer.

Lou Si Yi.

Goodbye.

Jin Zhu.

We're even now.

- Luo Li! - Idiot!

They're here!

The northern war is over.

The general returns victorious.

Thanks to the emperor's grace,

we celebrate with the people.

(Hello, Host.)

(I'm the System of this comic.)

(You got into a car accident in the real world and are in a coma.)

(You got stuck inside this comic called Li's Reverie.)

(The original Luo Li was pushed off a mountain by her sexist father.)

(She died accidentally.)

(You must help her finish her story.)

(Once you collect 100,000 points,)

(you can return to the real world.)

What?

I... I transmigrated?

Who are you?

You're hurt. Let me see.

Men and women shouldn't touch.

I...

I just twisted my ankle while hunting, that's all.

It doesn't affect my movement.

I don't want to ruin your name.

That's just old-fashioned thinking.

It's a shackle for women.

If chastity is such a great thing,

then you can only buy it with money.

What a unique opinion.

Why is it starting all over again?

General?

General?

Jin Zhu.

General!

- You can't go in. - Move aside.

She did it 16 times.

You can't lose now.

My lady.

My lady, why are you spacing out?

Are you thinking about Prince Ning?

Everyone in Jingdu knows you're the future Princess Consort of Ning.

Jin Zhu!

Jin Zhu.

- Who is he? - What's really going on?

Why did the story start over again?

We already changed the ending.

Who are you?
