One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Come on. Let the magic duel begin!

Ye Xiao glanced at it.

Time was pressing.

She didn’t have much time to think, so she quickly finished reading, thought for a moment, and changed two characters in the text.

She didn’t know how much of an effect it would have, but as long as it could somewhat wake everyone up from the script’s control, that would suffice.

After changing the characters, Ye Xiao looked curiously at the audience’s reaction in the live streaming room.

She wasn’t sure how much of an effect her modifications would have; overall, it depended on just how powerful the system was.

The book played dirty, the system played dirty too.

It was simply a matter of who could be more rogue.

At that moment.

The number of people in the live streaming room had already broken through to one million.

Ye Bingtong was crying and lamenting her affection for the Ye Family.

At this moment, a strange power descended.

Even though Ye Bingtong’s errors were numerous, even though they had all seen Ye Bingtong’s true colors,

But at that moment.

In the midst of Ye Bingtong’s tears, they couldn’t explain why, but they felt a strange emotion rising within them.

Their hearts couldn’t help but feel a little sour, and this sensation was making them…

Just as some people were about to be unable to hold back their tears.

Suddenly.

Bang!

Their heads felt as if they had been struck by something, buzzing and humming.

The sour feeling in their hearts also disappeared instantly.

The crowd was a bit stupefied.

What… the heck?

Why is there a buzzing in my forehead? At this time of the year, there shouldn’t be any mosquitoes, right?

The crowd couldn’t help but shake their heads and continued to listen to Ye Bingtong speak.

However.

With each word Ye Bingtong said, their heads buzzed.

This sensation was as if Ye Bingtong’s words had turned into hammers, hammering down on them again and again.

What the hell.

How can one empathize with this!

Ye Xiao’s character modification was an indiscriminate attack, even she herself felt her forehead buzzing and humming.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

Not bad, not bad at all.

The system’s magic attack was quite effective.

Just now.

She had removed a character from the sentence, “Her every word strikes at people’s hearts, making everyone feel sad along with her.”

And it had become.

“Her every word strikes at people’s heads…”

Every time Ye Bingtong spoke, Ye Xiao felt a buzz in her forehead, and after listening for a while, her forehead began to feel somewhat swollen and painful.

This was still the effect of modifying the characters, the first time it had worked on Ye Xiao herself.

Ye Xiao found it quite novel and couldn’t help but feel fortunate that she had modified the characters in time!

She had come from a Different World, and although the script had a binding effect on her, it wouldn’t truly affect her inner emotions.

But it was different for the other people in this world.

If she did not modify that key part of the plot, it would have been okay for the onlookers to take pity on Ye Bingtong, but if even the Ye Family was influenced by the drama and changed their attitude towards Bingtong, then she would have been busy for nothing.

This time, besides altering that part, she made another modification.

Instead of “The crowd was entirely caught up in Ye Bingtong’s emotions,” Ye Xiao changed it to “The crowd was not at all caught up in Ye Bingtong’s emotions.”

With just one word added.

The combination of the two had an astonishing effect.

There, Ye Bingtong was still playing the victim.

In the live stream, a million viewers.

“Geez, is there no end to Ye Bingtong’s whining? Her words are giving me a headache!”

“Same here! Every time she speaks, it’s like a hundred mosquitoes buzzing in your ear!”

“Stop playing the victim! Let’s talk about some real issues instead!”

“The evidence the Ye Family is presenting is hard as a rock, and what does Ye Bingtong have? Just a mouth full of nonsense?”

“Explain the black stockings video, explain the black stockings video. Looks like this time, it’s the boss Chen behind it all, huh?”

“And clear up the matter of schizoaffectively cursing at Ye Xiao! Even if the internet has no memory, we haven’t forgotten that fast!”

“Quit playing the victim, speak some truth!”

The barrage of comments scrolled frantically.

The person in charge of the live stream glanced at the barrage and handed the phone directly to Ye Bingtong.

“Ms. Ye, it seems that people aren’t too convinced by your explanation.”

She couldn’t help but get irritated.

Ye Bingtong’s incessant victim playing was giving her a headache!

It was better to make her stop sooner rather than later!

Ye Bingtong paused for a moment, then looked at the barrage.

Seeing a screen full of sober comments, Bingtong was flustered.

What’s going on with these people!

She’s already so miserable, why are they still fixating on her past!

Were those issues that important?

Is everyone in this world so lacking in compassion?

With a sense of injustice, Ye Bingtong said, “I mean, all these years in the Ye Family, I…”

But as soon as she started playing the victim, the audience felt their heads buzzing.

The more Ye Bingtong played the victim, the louder the jeers in the live stream became.

“Here we go again! Can we talk about something substantial?”

“That look on her face, as if she’s been so wronged by the Ye Family all these years. With all the delicacies and luxurious clothes, if that’s what counts as being wronged, I’ll gladly take her place!”

“She also claimed she never thought of competing with Ye Xiao and hinted that the Ye Family had wronged her! Fine, if the Ye Family wronged you that much, why not return all the money they’ve spent on you over the years?”

“I went and checked. Ye Bingtong’s kindergarten was a top-notch international bilingual school, costing about half a million a year. Afterwards, all the private schools she attended charged a base annual fee of half a million too! When Bingtong was building her image as a music genius and wealthy heiress, she even flaunted how much her piano lessons cost, conservatively estimated at a million. Together with her luxury clothes and accessories, let’s talk about how much all this cost the Ye Family!”

“So, this is what it means to be wronged; I’ve really had my eyes opened!”

Ye Bingtong, watching the questioning voices on the live stream, visibly panicked.

No, this isn’t right!

This isn’t the turn of events she wanted!

She’s already so pitiful; why do these people keep bringing up the past?

Seeing the situation going south, Pei Yue slightly frowned and glanced at Luo Li.

Luo Li caught on.

Irresistibly, he said, “Bingtong, some pains are only known to the sufferer, and outsiders can never truly empathize. But the fact that you could sing my song so magnificently proves how much pain you’ve been harboring in your heart.”

Bingtong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put on a vulnerable expression, “That song, filled with despair and pain, seemed as if it was tailor-made for me. Just like the lyrics say: ‘Everyone is a lonely beast, licking their wounds in the night.’ My wounds, probably, can only be healed by myself.”

“Indeed, it’s a good song, a lot of people say it’s an emo anthem,” the reporter also commented.

Luo Li quickly said, “This song, I created within three days based on Bingtong’s experiences. Bingtong is the inspiration behind the song, that’s why she could perform it so brilliantly.”
