Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 3
Song Miaomiao was so excited that she accidentally smashed the bowl in her hand. [Should I just find the male lead?]
Mechatronic male voice: [Yes. This is the first chapter of your published story.]
This was the first story Song Miaomiao wrote. In other words, it was also the first pitfall, about forty to fifty thousand.
Song Miaomiao liked to read martial arts novels during her childhood, especially the Wuxia worlds, so the first book she wrote belonged to this genre. Even though she wrote it from the perspective of the male lead, the majority of users on Lujiang Literature were basically females. Needless to say, there were very few females who read male-centeric stories. Since the first chapter of the book was published, the book got a mere total of eight likes, and only two people followed it. The first one was Song Miaomiao’s trumpet (fake account). Since she released the first chapter of the book, she had applied for a contract five times and had never got it.
The storyline seemed rather unoriginal. The story of “Farewell to Jianghu” featured a male lead oppressed by antagonists. During his training, he encounters the Princess of the Demon Sect, who was the female lead. Subsequently, he was framed by someone for colluding with the Demon Sect, leading to his expulsion from the sect. Later, he crosses paths again with the Princess of the Demon Sect.
Song Miaomiao only wrote up that point; unfortunately, the data was too unsatisfactory. Despite her efforts, including cute and playful comments in the author’s section, there was minimal engagement. Even after promising to send red envelopes for comments, she received no messages. Eventually, she quietly revised the chapters, removed the author’s comments, and sadly abandoned the novel.
“Oh, my bowl!” The ladylord cursed, “You, you can’t speak, and you are so stupid. If I hadn’t kindly taken you in, how could you have survived? You broke the bowl, so you simply won’t eat tonight.”
The lady lord continued to talk, and Song Miaomiao silently thought that she was not in the mood to listen to it. She was very excited that the male lead of her story, Ling Qianyi, was about to appear.
Few individuals in this world could remain composed when on the verge of witnessing the male meal from the novel they had written come to life before them.
Quickly, Song Miaomiao dashed to the hall of the restaurant, exclaiming in her heart, “Male lead, here I come!”
“Where do you think you are running off to?!” The ladylord shouted loudly behind Song Miaomiao.
—————————————
After many years, Song Miaomiao really couldn’t remember the specific circumstances of the first appearance of the male lead in the first novel, such as what clothes he wore or where he was. She only remembered that her 9-year-old male lead was being chased at the beginning.
Song Miaomiao looked around, none of the guests looked eight or nine years old. Wasn’t the male lead within a hundred meters of her? Wasn’t he in the hall?
Song Miaomiao stepped out of the threshold of the hall and looked around at the gate. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, but there were no children. She touched her left earlobe with her right hand, and called out the system. That was also the agreement she made with the system later. The system would only appear on touching her left earlobe with her right hand. Wasn’t that the same as transplanting a “thought police” into the brain? Was there any privacy anymore? If she wanted to complain about the system, she had to complain quietly.
Song Miaomiao: [System Oppa, where is the male lead? Can you give me some hints?]
Mechatronic male voice: [For the task content, please find the male lead by yourself.]
Song Miaomiao already knew that the system was not reliable at critical moments. In the past three years, she had also wanted to find the male lead. She herself was really curious about the male lead.
Firstly, she had no money to find him. As a character in the book, the world completely created her character based on it, including her hunger and poverty. When she woke up, she was in the town. She had no money, could not speak, and had to worry about being betrayed. It was almost impossible for her to leave Tianci Restaurant.
Second, she had nowhere to look. As an author, she really didn’t know where the male lead of her novel lived. She didn’t write at all what the male lead’s family was like before he was hunted down or where he lived. She just wanted to wait until later to reveal the truth about the massacre of the whole family, and then make up for it. Who knew that since she didn’t write what was needed, she came to the place where she had to fix it. But she had never even thought about the male lead’s life experience!
Thirdly, she couldn’t find him. As a hole-filler, Song Miaomiao had tried hard enough to ask the system Oppa to reveal where the male lead was. The system Oppa told her that providing the male lead’s coordinates required points, and one needed to complete the task for points. But the problem is that the task has not been released. When Song Miaomiao pestered the system Oppa again to ask about the task content, the system Oppa simply crashed.
Song Miaomiao walked down the steps of the porch, came to the street, centered around the restaurant, and carefully searched for the figure of the male lead. She searched every street and alley within a range of 100 meters and 200 meters. She saw a few children, but they were all children who were familiar with her, not the male lead.
She sat down on the steps of the porch of the restaurant, holding her face in her hands, worried. How did she describe the male lead’s appearance many years ago? This system didn’t even give her any hints.
Yet, she couldn’t be completely blamed for not being able to remember the male lead’s appearance. Who still remembered something someone wrote in high school?! Unless someone possessed a photographic memory or won a grand prize and was famous for writing it, no one would remember it.
