The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 473 1 Wei Ruxue as always

"Host... congratulations on gaining the heroine's favorability. The heroine is now very desperate because her leading female role was taken away by that Wei Ruxue. Although she looks calm on the surface, she is actually full of sadness in her heart. The host must give her warmth and support at this time and must not let the heroine repeat the mistakes of her previous life!" The system said to Zhou Shan in a serious tone.

Zhou Shan nodded, indicating that he understood: "I understand, but the heroine in the previous life was really pitiful. But the system, the heroine in this life seems to have a completely different personality from the previous life. I have read the plot of the previous life. The heroine was repeatedly framed in the previous life, but there was no character called Wei Ruxue in the previous life. So, why does the character Wei Ruxue appear in this life?"

The system explained: "Every rebirth will bring different plot developments. The world is constantly changing, and it is impossible for the plot of each life to be exactly the same. Host, just remember that your mission is to protect the heroine of this life and never let her get hurt. There is no need to worry too much about other details."

Zhou Shan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand. In this case, I will do my best to protect the heroine. But, who is this Wei Ruxue? How did she suddenly appear here and snatch the role of the heroine? Is she also a time traveler?"

The system shook its head: "We are still unable to determine Wei Ruxue's identity and purpose. Maybe she is just an ordinary competitor, or there is a bigger conspiracy behind her. In any case, the host must be careful and not take it lightly."

Yan Mo listened to the conversation between the system and Zhou Shan word for word, and was filled with shock and confusion. She never expected that Zhou Shan was also a time traveler! Moreover, his purpose was to protect herself. No wonder Zhou Shan wanted to join the crew at all costs since she came to this world, whether it was the last play or this play.

As Yan Mo thought about it, she looked towards the system. The system was obviously a little embarrassed and was startled by Yan Mo's sudden gaze.

"What's wrong? Why do you have that expression?" Zhou Shan asked curiously.

"Host, I feel like this heroine can see me. This isn't right." The system muttered to itself in a low voice.

When Yan Mo heard the system say this, she stopped looking in the direction of the system.

The system finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe I'm thinking too much. The heroine may just happen to see something in the same direction as me."

Zhou Shan also relaxed: "You scared me. I was really worried that the heroine could see you. If the heroine found out, she would definitely treat us as monsters!"

Yan Mo silently observed everything that happened in front of her, her heart full of surprise and confusion. She never thought that this man named Zhou Shan was also a time traveler! However, Yan Mo was very puzzled about his purpose of traveling through time. From what he said just now, it seemed that he was trying to protect herself, but she really couldn't figure out why she was worthy of being protected. In this world, she has always relied on herself to work hard and has never relied on anyone.

At this moment, the system's voice came slowly: "Host... What the heroine needs most now is care. Because of the hero's indifference to her, the heroine is already very sad. We must do our best to make the heroine forget these pains."

Zhou Shan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing what the system said. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I always feel that doing this is a bit like interfering in the heroine's marriage. Moreover, I think the real way to protect the heroine is not as you said. Perhaps, we should quietly assist her behind the scenes. After all, the purpose of my strategy is only to protect the heroine, not to make things worse in order to achieve the goal."

Zhou Shan knows that keeping a certain distance from the heroine and giving her support and help in an appropriate way is the wisest choice. He does not want to bring more trouble or harm to the heroine because of his behavior. He is determined to use his wisdom and strength to protect the heroine's happiness, even if it means paying more effort and patience.

After hearing Zhou Shan's words, the system did not fully agree. It patiently persuaded: "Host... we are not here just to protect the heroine! We also have an important task, which is to capture the heroine and win her favor! The higher the heroine's favorability, the more points we can get. In this way, if the host wants to exchange the equipment in the space, he will have more choices!"

Zhou Shan frowned and responded helplessly: "System... I also want to do this. But you have to understand that we have two goals in coming to this plane. On the one hand, I must ensure the safety of the heroine, so that she and the hero can go through this life smoothly, and never let the heroine repeat the mistakes of the previous life; on the other hand, I must work hard to gain the heroine's favorability and earn points for me. However, there is actually a contradiction between the two."

He sighed and continued to explain, "If I am always very nice to the heroine and succeed in winning her favor, it may cause the hero to dislike me. The hero may think that the heroine is too close to other opposite sexes and then become dissatisfied with her, which will be disadvantageous to the heroine."

"So, I can't be like other strategists who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Otherwise, the result may be counterproductive. Not only will I fail to complete my mission, but I will also make the heroine repeat the mistakes of her previous life." Zhou Shan replied firmly.

"I understand the host's thoughts, so let's act according to your wishes. I have followed many hosts before, but they all chose to pursue immediate interests without exception, and there has never been a successful case. I hope that this time the host can succeed!" The system winked playfully, then quietly retreated.

Yan Mo heard it all by her side, and she never thought Zhou Shan had considered it so thoroughly. It would be very difficult to capture a target that meets both of these conditions. Zhou Shan's choice not only allows him to silently protect the heroine behind her back, but also win her favor, which is really killing two birds with one stone...

In the following days, Yan Mo was either busy on the crew or resting in the hotel.

Wei Ruxue is still the same as before. Although her acting skills are terrible and she often acts like a big shot, she is becoming more and more popular. Recently, she has received many advertising endorsements. The longer she stays in the crew, the longer her fans will wait outside the set. No matter what she wants to eat or drink, she only needs to say a word and her fans will immediately satisfy her needs.

As the male lead who acted with her, Zhou Shan was really miserable. Every day, Wei Ruxue complained of being tired before filming even started. She was supposed to be on set at 6 a.m., but after 6 a.m., Wei Ruxue was still sleeping soundly in the hotel. The entire crew was ready and waiting for her, but she didn't show up on the set until 10 a.m., slowly, with her assistant.

The director didn't dare to lose his temper with her. If he complained, Wei Ruxue would go on strike. After all, Wei Ruxue was the cash cow of the crew! If she went on strike, the director wouldn't even be able to pay the most basic director's salary.
