WIIAD? Chapter 47: Zhu Yingtai! Are You Blind?

The two of them promised each other that once Liang Shanbo achieved success, he would come to the Zhu family to propose.

With nothing else holding her back on the mountain, Zhu Yingtai returned home.

Liang Shanbo did not break his promise. After passing the imperial exams and becoming the local magistrate, he immediately set off with betrothal gifts to propose.

However, on the way, he encountered Ma Wencai, riding a tall horse and bearing numerous betrothal gifts!

Compared to Ma Wencai's extravagant gifts, Liang Shanbo's offerings seemed incredibly humble.

But Liang Shanbo wasn't discouraged, knowing that Zhu Yingtai loved him.

When they both arrived at the Zhu residence and stated their intentions, their reception couldn't have been more different.

The Zhu and Ma families had long-standing ties and were quite familiar with each other. Many in the Zhu family already considered Ma Wencai the rightful groom, and they treated him warmly.

In contrast, Liang Shanbo was only received by an old servant.

Nevertheless, Liang Shanbo didn't mind, as he had anticipated this.

Finally, he met Zhu Yingtai. The two of them shared their longing for each other, unaware that Ma Wencai was watching from a distance.

At this moment, Qilin's acting was outstanding. He looked on in disbelief, his eyes slowly losing their sparkle.

This pained the female viewers deeply, giving rise to a strange thought: Zhu Yingtai was being rather ungrateful!

After Liang Shanbo left, Ma Wencai wandered through the Zhu residence, heartbroken, and encountered Zhu Yingtai returning from seeing Liang Shanbo off.

"Brother Ma, you're here too?" Zhu Yingtai's voice was still innocent and lively, as if everything was as it used to be.

But Ma Wencai slowly raised his head, his voice filled with disbelief. "We grew up together, like brother and sister. Why did you change your heart?"

"I haven't changed my heart. I've always seen you as a brother," Zhu Yingtai's voice was somewhat unnatural.

"What does he have that I don't?" Qilin's voice trembled, the emotion in his eyes filled with such sorrow that it was heartbreaking.

Feeling this emotion, Zhu Yingtai's voice softened, perhaps out of guilt.

"It's not because of him. Even if he wasn't there, I wouldn't marry you."

"Impossible! You've only known him for a few months!"

"Love has nothing to do with how long you've known someone."

Ma Wencai gave a bitter smile, his lips turning colorless and his face pale.

This scene broke the hearts of the young girls in the cinema, bringing them to tears.

Ma Wencai left the Zhu residence like a walking corpse and locked himself in his room at home.

Meanwhile, Zhu's mother did not want her daughter to marry Liang Shanbo and, through her machinations, caused Liang Shanbo to cough up blood and die.

This was too much for the audience to bear.

Liang Shanbo was innocent and hardworking, making the audience reluctant to see him die.

Ma Wencai was deeply in love and incredibly handsome, making it even harder for them to choose!

Regardless of their feelings, the plot continued.

After learning of Liang Shanbo's death, Zhu Yingtai completely broke down.

She agreed to marry Ma Wencai but insisted he meet three conditions.

Ma Wencai agreed, as he had never refused Zhu Yingtai anything.

On the day of the wedding, Zhu Yingtai, instead of wearing a bridal gown, wore mourning clothes.

She threw herself into Liang Shanbo's grave, transforming into two butterflies that danced in the air.

From beginning to end, Ma Wencai did not move, perhaps having anticipated this outcome all along.

As the theater lights slowly came on, Qilin noticed that many young girls around him had cried their eyes swollen.

Qilin was bewildered. Turning his head, he saw Li Yue wiping her tears with a tissue.

"Is it really that emotional?" Qilin asked softly. Li Yue nodded, and seeing Qilin reminded her of 'Ma Wencai,' causing her to cry even harder.

Qilin: "..."

After they left the cinema and got into the car, Li Yue's crying finally subsided.

Qilin chuckled, "Is it really necessary? You were there during filming, but I didn't see you cry then!"

Li Yue's eyes were swollen from crying as she wiped her tears, "Back then, I knew it was fake."

"It's still fake now," Qilin replied.

"But the atmosphere is different," Li Yue said, after wiping away her tears. She couldn't help but sigh, "Turns out Ma Wencai is quite good too. Now I really think Zhu Yingtai is somewhat ungrateful! She rejected such a good Ma Wencai and indirectly caused Liang Shanbo's death!"

Qilin, feeling a bit helpless, said, "What does that have to do with Zhu Yingtai?"

"Hmph! How does it not? If she had married Ma Wencai, wouldn't everyone have been happy? Then Liang Shanbo wouldn't have had to die. It's all her fault!"

Qilin was left speechless and couldn't help but sigh. Han Xue seemed to have some kind of magic; despite having a good setup, she managed to ruin it!

Not to mention the filming of "The Allure," but even this time, the movie was meant to spotlight her. However, from the current perspective, both Liang Shanbo and Ma Wencai were well-received, while she was the least liked!

Indeed, the reality was close to what Qilin thought. Searching online for "New Liang Zhu," the most common titles were:

#Zhu Yingtai! Are you blind!#

#Ungrateful Zhu Yingtai#

#The Most Handsome Ma Wencai and Liang Shanbo Join Forces#

#Heartbreaking Childhood Sweethearts—Ma Wencai#

Out of the top five comments about "New Liang Zhu," three mentioned Ma Wencai, while the other two criticized Zhu Yingtai!

Although Han Xue's popularity increased, it was certainly not the kind of attention she wanted!

At this moment, Han Xue sat on her sofa at home, feeling like crying but unable to shed tears.

She knew it! She knew this would be the outcome!

It seemed that the title of the "blind heroine" was something she couldn't shake off!

...

Qilin's life didn't change much with the release of "New Liang Zhu." He continued filming daily on set and, in his spare time, recorded some videos to post on Weibo and Douyin to maintain his popularity.

It wasn't until mid-January that Wang Xiaohua came to the set, looking excited.

Coincidentally, Qilin had just finished filming a scene and was pulled aside by Wang Xiaohua.

"Brother, brother! An opportunity has come! An opportunity has come!" Wang Xiaohua repeated excitedly.

Qilin was puzzled, "Opportunity? What opportunity?"

"Brother, do you remember Director Zheng Rui that Captain Deng mentioned to you before?"

Qilin nodded. His memory was always good, so he certainly hadn't forgotten.

Wang Xiaohua, barely containing her excitement, said, "Director Zheng Rui has come to interview you!"

Qilin was stunned, and his heart started racing.

"Interview me? Didn't Director Zheng say he doesn't use newcomers?"

"Director Zheng usually doesn't use newcomers, but the actor he originally chose made some mistakes and got blacklisted! All suitable actors were unavailable, so he considered using a newcomer! Director Fang Qiong recommended you! Brother, this is a really rare opportunity!"

Qilin swallowed nervously and asked cautiously, "Sister, if it works out, how much will they pay me?"

Wang Xiaohua: "..."
