Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 67 The First and Last Meeting
At midnight, the real-time ratings of Sakura TV continued to increase. Before the fourteenth episode of Ancient Love Song was aired, the TV station's ratings had risen to more than 3%.

Under normal circumstances, such ratings can only be seen in the 8 or 9 o'clock time slot.

Yoshitoki Akasaka, the producer of The Gilded Man, couldn't sleep late at night.

In particular, the producer of The Gilded Man, Jun Matsumoto, was directly at the TV station to monitor the real-time ratings.

His usually calm expression was replaced by nervousness, and he kept stroking his mustache with his fingers to ease his anxiety.

Don't raise it.
He thought silently in his mind.

Just after midnight, the TV screen froze.

The theme song of Ancient Love Song slowly sounded.

The last time Chu Haosen heard this song on TV, he felt inexplicably melancholy.

[Episode 1: The song is not over yet, the people will not leave. ]

The title of the fourteenth episode appears. From Lu Yuan’s timeline, this is indeed the place where she first dreamed of.

But for Shen Buyan, this is the end of her and Lu Yuan.

The scene changed and it showed Shen Buyan back in modern times, standing in front of the window at home.

The flute plays softly
Thousands of years ago, the music composed by Lu Yuan was played on his flute.

The title of the play, "Ancient Love Song", sums up the theme of the play.

A piece of music composed by Lu Yuan a thousand years ago, but only known by Shen Buyan a thousand years later.

[That jade pendant came into my hands after traveling through thousands of years, and I traveled through thousands of years to give it to Lu Yuan, completing this cycle of cause and effect. Is this the entire meaning of this trip?] Shen Buyan had a lonely expression and came to the ancient tree in Nanmeng Lake.

This tree was still a small sapling when Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan confessed their love to each other in ancient times.

But now, it has become a towering tree.

There are strings of small wooden plaques hanging on it, which are modern people making wishes according to the customs of the ancient Sheng State.

Chu Haosen became a little impatient.

Shen Buyan, what are you doing?
Hurry up and find a way to go back to ancient times?

If you are willing to stay in the modern era, Lu Yuan's fate in history will be fixed!

But at this moment, the old man who once sold the jade pendant to Shen Buyan appeared again.

Shen Buyan anxiously chased after her and asked her about the jade pendant.

[This piece of jade was passed down from my ancestors. They said it would be handed over to a man named Shen Buyan.]

The old lady’s words revealed the biggest foreshadowing of the drama.

She is the descendant of Chu Tongshang, the adopted son of Lu Yuan, who unified the nine kingdoms.

And Lu Yuan's fate
It was also revealed from her mouth.

[Lu Yuan did not die in the Yuanqi Incident. ]

Chu Haosen's eyes narrowed, Huh?
He couldn't understand it.

The story goes back to the first episode
In the first episode, Lu Yuan helped Shen Buyan block the arrow and fell into his arms.

Including 36-year-old Lu Yuan, who thought she was doomed to die because of the future information she heard from Shen Buyan when she was 26.

But Shen Buyan was called back to the modern era by the jade pendant at that time. He thought Lu Yuan died at the age of 36, so he told this information to the 26-year-old Lu Yuan.

This is a ring!

But in fact, 36-year-old Lu Yuan was finally saved.
Unfortunately, Shen Buyan didn't know that he thought that his time travel caused Lu Yuan's fate in history to change from being liquidated by Chu Tongshang to dying at the age of 36.

And because of these wrong thoughts, he made the second and third time travel.
However, his time travel did not change history from beginning to end. On the contrary, his time travel was indeed a part of history.

Chu Haosen's eyes widened and his blood pressure rose slightly.

Why is this plot different from what I imagined?

If history cannot be changed, then how can Shen Buyan and Lu Yuan, one a modern man and the other an ancient, stay together forever?
Writer, are you causing trouble again?
The scene changed and came to the perspective of ancient Lu Yuan.

At the age of 21, she encountered Shen Buyan's despair after he broke his promise to her after being recalled to the modern era.

She decided not to recognize Shen Buyan when she met him again at the age of 26, so as not to let him be involved in this fruitless relationship.

The 26-year-old Lu Yuan was unable to change her brother's death and her own fate of becoming the queen. She finally realized that fate could not be changed and accepted everything in the future calmly.

But
Lu Yuan, she was born not to believe in fate!
For ten years, she has been planning for her 36th birthday.

She wants to save Shengguo.

Knowing that Li Yong was going to steal the city defense map, she relied on her adopted son Chu Tongshang to replace the real city defense map with a fake one, deliberately letting Li Yong betray the country and leave. Bei Lie attacked Sheng State according to the fake military intelligence, and naturally returned in defeat.

Li Yong was killed after the Beilie army figured out everything. In order to stabilize the people's hearts in Sheng, Lu Yuan did not expose Li Yong's true face. Instead, he packaged Li Yong's treasonous behavior as a scheme in which the prime minister of Sheng State took the initiative to lure Beilie into the trap, which inspired the morale of the army and civilians across the country.

As for her, she was called the Demon Queen because she had been against the hero of Sheng State, Li Yong, for a long time, and because her internal reforms offended the gentry class.
The more Chu Haosen looked, the more depressed he felt.

So that’s it?
In fact, he doesn't care what happens to Shengguo in the end in this drama.

He cares about Lu Yuan's ending.
So, she waited like this from the age of 36 until her death, but never saw Shen Buyan again?
What kind of plot is this?
Writer, where is your brain? Are you really heartless?

Screen flickers
It’s time for Lu Yuan to be 41 years old.

She hung a wooden sign under a tree at Lake Nam Meng.

This tree appears too often in the drama.

Her wish was written on the wooden sign.

【See you again Shen Buyan! 】

This is the wish Lu Yuan made to a tree when she was 41 years old.

Chu Haosen couldn't hold back at this moment, and tears blurred his eyes.

[I also want to tell him that I am still alive and I think about him every day, every hour, every moment.
Do you think he will still miss me?】 Lu Yuan looked at the wishing board on the tree and said to Yihua beside him.

After the modern Shen Buyan knew everything.

He also hung a wooden sign on a tree at modern Lake Nam Meng.

【See you again, Lu Yuan. 】

The two people's wishes are the same.

It was not until this moment that the TV series finally revealed the truth about the dream Shen Buyan had in the first episode.

Shen Buyan was surrounded by a group of people, watching a graceful woman being executed.

During the reign of the Demon Queen Lu Yuan, she carried out reforms in Sheng State and offended a large number of powerful people from top to bottom in Sheng State.

Just like Shang Yang of Qin.
After Chu Tongshang came to power, he obtained a revived and powerful Sheng State, but if he wanted to gain the support of the people, he could only settle accounts with Lu Yuan, who framed the "virtuous prime minister" Li Yong.

And this is what Lu Yuan himself agreed to.
The dream that Shen Buyan had in the first episode
The woman he saw being executed was Lu Yuan.

"So that dream was not actually a dream, but the last time Lu Yuan saw Shen Buyan before she died." Chu Haosen already felt a stomachache.

That was the real Shen Buyan, who knew her completely nowhere.

That was Lu Yuan, who had loved Shen Buyan all her life, who had waited for him all her life since she was 26 years old. It was the last look she gave him before she died.

Chu Haosen's chest felt blocked and he was somewhat speechless.
At this moment, a bunch of viewers in Xia Country who were following the drama in front of Sakura TV were stunned.

Where is the promised reunion?
Where's the promised happy ending?
Why do depressing plots come one after another?

Have you ever considered whether our fans can bear it?
In the play, time passes.
In modern times, Shen Buyan can only keep committing crimes for Lu Yuan and work hard to wash away her historical stigma.

Finally, many years later, Lu Yuan's tomb was excavated.

A precious guzheng was unearthed inside.

But several of the konghou strings were broken.
That was the qin that Shen Buyan bought for Lu Yuan in exchange for his jade pendant when Lu Yuan was 18 years old.

In the museum, Shen Buyan looked at the guzheng that had spanned thousands of years, and the flute played the song composed by Lu Yuan.

He once taught Lu Yuan the trick of encoding information through mispairing of musical notes in ancient times.

If the position of the broken string on the konghou corresponds to the knowledge that Shen Buyan taught Lu Yuan,
The true meaning of this broken string and wrong tone is a sentence that Lu Yuan conveyed to Shen Buyan across thousands of years.

【I miss you. 】

Chu Haosen's hands trembled, and a strong feeling of sadness quickly gathered in his heart.

Resentment is rising.

Emotional values ​​are generated one by one!

Screenwriter, I hope you will be like Shen Buyan, meet a girl like Lu Yuan and never be able to be with her for the rest of your life.

The sound of Shen Buyan's flute rang out, as if responding to the hidden meaning of Lu Yuan's ancient guzheng.

The Ancient Love Song has come to the end, which is also the most heartbreaking plot.

The ancient tree fulfilled Shen Buyan's wish.
This was the sixth time he met Lu Yuan.
