AMRWFA -Chapter 295 Breaking Free from the Plot’s Control

Later, Ruan Yaoyao found an opportunity to take a look at Xiao Shao and the female lead Song Jiao—and was shocked to discover that the “detail pages” above their heads were gone.

She looked completely stunned. 【Why are they gone?】

Ruan Zhihé was confused. What’s gone?

【How is this possible?】

【Before, when people changed their fate, they still had detail pages. Why do the two of them not have any anymore?】

The detail pages were gone?

Why?

Could it be that Aunt Xu’s cheat ability had a problem?

Ruan Zhihé quickly perked up her ears, suddenly worried.

Ruan Yaoyao then turned to look at Ruan Zhihé again.

【Good, Zhihé still has a detail page above her head. That means my cheat is fine.】

【So what’s going on?】

【I can see the detail page above Zhihé’s head, but I can’t see theirs?】

【Oh… it’s not just them. I can’t see the detail pages of the rest of the Song family either.】

【Oh, and her childhood friend too.】

……

Although she could no longer see the “detail pages” above their heads, Ruan Yaoyao wasn’t completely unable to perceive their fate lines.

It had simply changed from written descriptions into “image flashes” in her mind.

For example, she could still tell that Xiao Shao and Song Jiao’s fate had changed—they ultimately did not end up together.

Because the Song family cherished Song Jiao too much, they would never allow her to be with the son of a criminal in the future. They found ways to separate the two and created many opportunities for her to interact with the gentle and considerate neighbor, Tian Xiu.

Gradually, Song Jiao was moved by this kind and attentive “older brother next door” and ended up with him.

As for Xiao Shao…

This kind of male lead with personality flaws—even if he didn’t eventually turn dark—still had those inherent defects. He was somewhat obsessive, and a bit violent.

Of course, he was also intelligent enough that he could support himself without problems. But when he grew up and tried to keep pursuing Song Jiao, he was directly sent to a psychiatric hospital by the Song family.

After a long period of treatment, his psychological issues were brought under control.

Later on, he went off to fight his own inner demons and never bothered Song Jiao again.

Ruan Zhihé: So what exactly is going on?

【My side is still fine, so why can’t I see anything for Xiao Shao and Song Jiao?】

After she reported this issue upward, the higher authorities quickly formed a hypothesis—could it be that this pair had completely broken free from the plot’s control?

“Aren’t everyone already free?”

“It’s different. The previous people only broke free from the control of a previous plot, but the detail pages still existed—which means they could still enter the next plot. But Xiao Shao and Song Jiao are different. They’ve completely broken free. From now on, there will be no more ‘plot’ affecting them at all.”

“???”

“The clearest proof is that the mark on their bodies has already disappeared.”

Ruan Zhihé stared blankly at the mark on her own body. The rest of the Ruan family also stared at theirs in silence.

For the first time, they realized: this thing could actually disappear.

So does that mean… their own marks still remaining implied they still had the risk of being controlled by the plot?

Everyone shuddered, as if they had a severe cold—only temporarily suppressed by medicine, while Xiao Shao and Song Jiao had been completely cured.

Unwilling. Truly unwilling.

Even more troubling was that it wasn’t just the characters from “The Tyrant in a Suit, Master Xiao’s Beloved” who had been fully “healed”—some protagonists from earlier novels had also been freed and no longer carried those special marks.

Now things became even more irritating.

The national team comforted them: “Don’t be too upset. Maybe those books just weren’t that important—like abandoned drafts by the heavens. Yours are more important, so the heavens haven’t dropped yours yet…”

They even mentioned that Li Tingting was still “out there” causing chaos.

At the mention of Li Tingting, Xu Chengyan felt a chill down his spine and quickly asked, “She’s not coming back anytime soon, right?”

“No. She just changed boyfriends again recently.”

Apparently she was switching partners very quickly—maybe she had gotten used to it, going from a pure heroine type to a full-blown “player,” leaving everyone stunned.

Xu Chengyan didn’t care at all. As long as Li Tingting didn’t come back, she could keep however many “fish” she wanted—it had nothing to do with him.

When they saw Sima Hong again, she felt like a completely different person—so much so that Ruan Yaoyao almost didn’t recognize her.

The once glamorous, seductive beauty had cut her hair short and started wearing androgynous clothing, dressing like a tomboy.

Oh, and she had also changed her name to Jing Liu, taking her mother’s surname.

As for “Liu,” it was chosen because in classical texts, “liu” is a homophone for “stay,” meaning “to retain.”

Her name meant: “The world is trying to keep me here.”

“I used to live such a hopeless life. If I hadn’t met you… I would’ve truly been finished!” Jing Liu said with a smile. “I think the reason I met you was because the world wanted to keep me, to tell me there are still many beautiful things here, and to encourage me to keep living in this world.”

“Of course, the world is beautiful already—you were just unlucky before and only saw its worst side. But now it’s different. You’re free. You can start over and choose the life you want,” Ruan Yaoyao said seriously.

Because she had seen that in the near future, Jing Liu would find a new job—and as her life gradually got back on track, she would meet her destined partner, Xu Zhe, once again.

This time, they would not miss each other.

【So good!】

【This is the real happy ending!】

Ruan Zhihé was stunned.

Yes… being able to return to one’s true destiny—how wonderful.

Soon after, Ruan Zhihé saw a message in their group chat with Ruan Nannan and Jing Liu:

“I think I didn’t hear Aunt Xu’s inner voice just now… is Aunt Xu not speaking anymore?”

She didn’t hear it?!

Ruan Zhihé widened her eyes in shock.

Aunt Xu, who was usually so noisy in her thoughts, couldn’t be heard?

Could this be another sign of returning to normal life?

Looking up again at Ruan Yaoyao, Ruan Zhihé saw her scrolling on her phone, her coffee still warm and only one-third finished.

She would probably only leave after finishing it—she never liked “wasting” anything.

After a while, Ruan Zhihé replied in the group: “Congratulations, you’ve returned to normal life!”

Then she reported this “discovery” to the national team.

“So… the reason some of us can’t hear her thoughts might really be because we’re not under plot control?”

“Possibly. Otherwise, with so many people around her, we would’ve discovered more who could hear her by now.”

“From the current situation, there are two types of people who can’t hear her thoughts: those inside the plot, and those outside the plot. Those inside are further divided into protagonists, non-protagonists, victims, and perpetrators. Generally, to hear her thoughts, two conditions must be met: being a protagonist or important character, and not being a victim. As for those outside the plot, they can be either partially outside or completely outside. Being outside doesn’t necessarily affect whether they can hear her thoughts—as long as they were once influenced by the plot and haven’t fully broken free, they can still hear her, unless they completely escape the plot’s control…”
