GBP Chapter 1: Bloodshed Immediately After Waking from a Dream
Chapter 1: Bloodshed Immediately After Waking from a Dream
She was lying face down on the bed, wearing a nightgown.
Qiao Wanwan, her little feet dangling in the air as she reads a book.
Looking at the contents of the book, one can't help but furrow one's delicate eyebrows and complain:
"What kind of male-oriented novel is this? It's really novel. It has a harem element and also BL (Boys' Love)?"
She lightly touched the name on the page with her finger, and parted her red lips slightly.
"Qiao Wanwan?"
"!!"
"I rely on!"
She angrily tossed the old-fashioned male-oriented martial arts novel onto the floor.
He spat twice at the books on the floor in disgust.
"What's most infuriating is that this female supporting character, who was killed by the male lead and his harem, actually shares the same name as me?"
"Also named Qiao Wanwan?"
The drama also describes the existence of the supporting female character, Qiao Wanwan.
The money jar was created simply because the male protagonist needed money while wandering the world.
It all started with the male lead deceiving the female supporting character and taking her money.
He turned a blind eye to the fact that the female supporting character was killed by the male lead's male harem.
Before the female supporting character was murdered.
The male lead scoffed and said something that disgusted Qiao Wanwan.
"Qiao Wanwan, Wanwan...wanwan, doesn't your name imply that you're someone people can just play with?"
"You fart!"
The male lead pinched the female supporting character's fair chin.
Looking at that pretty face, now with tears in her eyes, she glared at him desperately.
She has a look that makes even men feel sorry for her.
At the time, the male protagonist also felt it was a pity that such a beautiful woman was not properly added to his harem.
However, he also felt that she was willful, capricious, and a nuisance, so he had no choice but to give up on this useless woman who had no martial arts skills.
"Blame your alliance leader father for trusting me too much and keeping you by my side."
"I was blind to have ever liked a bastard like you. If you dare lay a hand on me, my father will never let you get away with it."
The male lead merely sneered at the female supporting character's insults.
"No matter how much you scold me, it's useless. If you stay here and die, it's none of my business. Because in the eyes of outsiders, I've always loved you so deeply."
The male protagonist narrowed his eyes and glanced at the darkness in the distance.
He whispered in the female supporting character's ear:
"Besides, I didn't kill you with my own hands, so no one can blame me."
The female supporting character felt a chill run down her spine, her heart turning cold.
"Gu Chaomu, you bastard!"
Qiao Wanwan took out the short knife that her maid had prepared for her and stabbed it into the male lead's heart.
She was ruthlessly dumped by the male protagonist, like a broken doll.
The man ignored the girl's cries and left the scene.
Qiao Wanwan was left lying on the ground, watching the departing figure, unaware that...
From the darkness behind me came the rumbling sound of a wheelchair moving.
That fear surged into the female supporting character's heart, before she could even turn around. The sword of death fell directly upon her heart.
The female supporting character coughed up blood, clutching the sword that had pierced her heart in agony. Slowly turning her head, she saw the terrifying demon in a wheelchair.
In her dying moments, she heard only one sentence from that demon.
"Gu Chaomu can only be mine. Who told you to win his favor? You're a weakling, how dare you try to take him from me? Go to hell."
The girl's beautiful body was pierced without any mercy.
The moment the sword was drawn, blood gushed from the girl's body, scattering across the entire space like flowers.
When Qiao Wanwan saw this scene, her whole body trembled involuntarily.
I felt deeply indignant about what the male protagonist said.
"Screw 'playing around'? At least the female supporting character gave him a chance to avoid sleeping on the streets. Yet he repays kindness with such ingratitude. And in the end..."
Qiao Wanwan sighed.
"Oh! That female supporting character died such a tragic death."
...
The woman's long eyelashes moved slightly with the movement of her eyes beneath her eyelids.
My nasal cavity was filled with the aroma of delicious food.
Braised pork belly, chicken, the aroma of wine…
Wasn't she sleeping?
How can I still smell the aroma of this delicious food?
She slowly opened her eyes, her vision was blurry at first, but gradually her vision became clearer.
Suddenly, a large hand appeared in front of them.
A crisp "thump" sounded.
The teacup in his hand was placed directly on the rough wooden table in front of her.
"Wanwan, have some tea."
"?"
An unfamiliar voice appeared in my ears.
Qiao Wanwan was a little confused, so she looked to the side in the direction of the sound.
Surprisingly, I saw a young man dressed in black, in ancient costume.
He was smiling at her, but it looked a little awkward, like a fake smile.
Who is this, and how do I know her?
Qiao Wanwan's mind went blank, and she looked around.
Before me lay an unfamiliar scene, in the style of an ancient inn.
This inn is very large, with traditional wooden architecture, just like a scene from a TV series, so real it feels like a dream.
She was surrounded by people she had never seen before, and she could clearly see their faces.
She was deeply puzzled by this.
Is this a dream?
Qiao Wanwan looked at the people sitting in the inn.
He was either wearing a hoodie or carrying knives and guns; he didn't look like a normal person at all.
They're more like characters from a martial arts drama, swordsmen and chivalrous figures!
Even the man sitting next to him had a sword on his desk near him.
The atmosphere in the entire space was somewhat somber.
Qiao Wanwan felt a buzzing pain in her head. This dream was too real!
She could hear the breathing of the people around her clearly.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Young Master Gu."
"Young Master Xie, Steward Zhong, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The sound of people exchanging pleasantries around her made her even more dizzy and disoriented.
She gently rubbed her forehead, clearly distressed.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
A girl next to her gently touched Qiao Wanwan's arm.
However, at that moment, a flash of sword light appeared in her eyes.
Qiao Wanwan sensed danger, and her nerves tensed up.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she looked up and saw the group of men in black in the distance, secretly drawing their swords and weapons.
"Mom!"
It seems to be facing her.
Regardless of whether it was a dream or not, Qiao Wanwan stood up abruptly.
"Miss?"
"Wanwan?"
Amidst everyone's puzzled expressions, she quickly bypassed the tables and chairs and ran straight towards a small doorway some distance away.
Unexpectedly, a wheelchair appeared at the intersection, blocking her way.
Get out of my way!
Qiao Wanwan was screaming inside.
The man in black, who was out of the corner of his eye, saw her move and instantly drew his sword, shouting angrily.
"Kill them."
"Yes!"
"!!"
Help!
If she wanted to escape, she had to push away the wheelchair blocking the way.
The saying "Kill the Holy Mother first in the apocalypse" perfectly describes her. But she had no choice.
Why did the intersection have to block a person in a wheelchair?
A middle-aged man's exclamation came from behind.
"Master!"
Then came the sound of swords slicing through the air.
Qiao Wanwan dared not stop; she used all her strength to push away the wheelchair of the long-haired woman.
The spot where they had just been standing was now riddled with arrows.
"Oh my god, why are you trying to kill me! I'm innocent!"
She desperately tried to get away with her wheelchair, finding it extremely inconvenient.
She hardened her heart; to save her life, she had no choice but to abandon that woman.
While pushing the wheelchair, they simply threw it aside, abandoning their efforts to help the long-haired woman whose face they couldn't see.
Since it's just a dream, they won't actually kill her. Let her fend for herself!
Even knowing it was a dream, it felt so real. Qiao Wanwan was terrified of the pain, so of course she chose to run away!
Just as they were about to slip away,
The next second, her wrist was grabbed by a great force and then pulled away.
"what!"
Qiao Wanwan's entire body fell straight onto the floor behind her, and her back throbbed with pain.
Suddenly, a dark shadow enveloped her completely.
An adult's body crashed down on Qiao Wanwan, causing her soft chest to ache.
The heavy body pressed down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
She wanted to push him away.
However, a large hand tightly wrapped around his waist, preventing him from moving.
The man's head was buried in the left side of her neck; all she could see was the ceiling.
The man's long, silky hair, carrying a faint medicinal scent, fell upon her.
Qiao Wanwan then realized that this person was the girl who had been sitting in the wheelchair earlier.
It must be because she wants to escape; we should just leave her alone.
That's why, in a moment of survival instinct, she hugged herself.
"Girl, let me go! This is too dangerous!"
"... "
The other person didn't reply or make any move, but simply held her tightly, as if they wanted to live and die together with her.
"shhhhhh"
A cold glint flashed across Qiao Wanwan's right cheek, and her hair fluttered slightly.
"Da da da"
Several cold arrows were shot from the floor to her right, giving her goosebumps.
The arrow was only a finger's width away from her right cheek.
"!!"
She was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale.
"Holy crap, help! This is so realistic!"
She couldn't break free from the person on top of her.
He could only quickly grab the woman who was on top of him and move to a different location together.
"Grumpy"
The two rolled to the right.
What Qiao Wanwan didn't know was...
The person holding her secretly reached out a hand each time he rolled around underneath her.
He released silver needles to knock over the table next to him, and the large round table followed their rolling position, protecting him all the way.
"Swish swish swish"
A dense volley of arrows struck the round table.
Qiao Wanwan only heard the assassin shout loudly.
"Go up and kill them! Don't let him escape!"
She had already rolled to a corner and couldn't move any further.
With his last ounce of strength, he used the girl in his arms as a shield. He stood in front of her, his back against the wall, protecting his own life.
"Tap Tap"
Qiao Wanwan kept her eyes tightly closed as she heard many footsteps approaching.
There was also the sound of a sword being drawn.
At this critical moment, Qiao Wanwan was in what was originally the safest position.
But the person in her arms easily flipped her over, and Qiao Wanwan's entire body was blocked, becoming the woman's shield.
Omg!
Why is it still like this? You're ruining my life!!
She dared not open her eyes; would the next second bring death or pain?
Or perhaps it's the end of a dream?
She doesn't know either.
With a loud "whoosh," the weapons scraped together.
The sword that the black-clad man drew to slash at them was deflected by a silver needle.
Before he could react, he was slashed to death from behind.
"Forehead!"
The man in black turned his head slightly, only to see the chaotic death of his own men.
He himself was stabbed in the heart by the boy he looked down upon.
"you…"
Before he could utter a second word, he coughed up blood, his pupils dilated, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
"pat"
Qiao Wanwan kept her eyes tightly closed and did not make any sound of pain.
The only sound was someone falling to the ground nearby.
