[Chinese BG novel] 拿了狗血剧本后我看见了弹幕 by 板栗子 / Seeing the barrage after taking a bloody script*

(*mtl'd title)

I'll say it right away, after reaching a certain point I simply skipped to the ending, because I did not appreciate the settings.

Synopsis: Gu Yin wakes up and sees what is called "barrage" and it seems that her life is the novel that these viewers watched, not to mention she is a main character in this ancient bloody script. She's been on the verge of divorce with her husband, who refused to divorce, but was always on the hot search with another woman. And only with the barrage she starts to figure things out.

The setting of this novel is indeed quite ancient and bloody. When I read it my main thought was - to deceive the enemy you must first deceive your friends. And this is what her husband Shen Nianlin was doing. She was completely oblivious to his plans, but I think it still brought her emotional discomfort, otherwise she wouldn't have offered to divorce. His deceit made her stop believing in him and all his actions were interpreted as schemes and quibbles. I do not support that they did not tell her anything from the beginning. To me that is the biggest mistake of the entire novel and even the comments and ratings are directed to criticize it because of it. After all it's not the movie 'Overboard' where deceit had a logical explanation. But not here.

I can explain some things in this one, but they do not justify anything to me.

Would it be possible for Gu Yin to figure things out without the barrage? No. I think not. Before she saw the barrage she was convinced that her husband might cheat on her, this situation continued for months and she offered to divorce, but only with barrage she had an epiphany to openly ask the supposed "mistress" a provocative question and caught her that she lied. This shed a new light on the situation, but it still felt bad. After all she lived in his rumors for a year, everyone around heard those rumors and they spread, so even if he eventually changes, it does not change the fact that everyone on the network will see her as the wife you cheated on and Shen Nianlin's label of the cheating husband will stuck with him forever. Because you can't explain that you used this supposed-to-be mistress as a shield to divert attention of your enemies. To emotionally hurt your woman you say you love so passionately. The thing is, with or without knowing Gu Yin was in danger. At least knowing she could have been prepared and would not go through many misunderstandings. After all her heart and body are connected to her husband and even if he comes back she can't refuse him, but the rumors of the mistress exist between them. 
Not to mention this mistress became more daring, what type of domineering president are you that you have to have a shield and be so loud about it, but when you warn her ou have to do it several times and not do anything about it and also you can't simply deal with your enemy. Pathetic. This novel should have a different title and it should be - My husband's bad choices to create ancient bloody script.
In many other cases through the barrage Gu Yin got info that helped her to build a different picture and maybe there was still some trust left because of it.
But again, if it wasn't for the barrage things would have been way worse and that is what gets to me. I suppose otherwise there would be no ancient bloody script.

Because I read the ending I know why they were attacked and what happened, but to me it still is not enough reason to be in the situation they ended up.

/~SPOILERS~/
Tbh just read the spoilers, this story is too irritating to follow.
Chestnut is not suitable for mystery tbh when it comes to some event like what happened and the reasoning of "innocent victim" is used not only here but in another novel. And this innocent victim is Gu Yin. She was abroad and they had fun, she was asked to borrow a drone and unbeknown to her this drone captured a scene of some gang boss murder. She had no idea, but the drone is hers and the video was also encrypted on her computer. Thus the accident on a cruise ship where Shen Nianlin was injured and stayed in a coma afterwards and she was quite fine physically, but no one was close to find out that her memories were tampered with and she forgot her lover and that she just gave birth to a child. The one who tampered with her memory was her closest cousin, but he did it for a reason, yet he did not fully understand what type of danger she faced tbh. So she forgot partially the things that happened and this is why I don't understand why they wouldn't tell her. Instead her child grew up for three years without his mother, two years without his father. Why wouldn't you just tell her. Maybe she has the potential of a lioness who can protect her child and her husband. After all the one who knew about the two of them was her mother and she helped to cover up her amnesia too, but always sounded like she covered up for the scumbag before Gu Yin had the barrage to help and then her memories back. The Wang Siqi was chosen as a shield to redirect attention of Shen Nianlin's brother who also posed as a danger... but again, other domineering CEOs don't find such relatives as a trouble, why everyone has to be this law-abiding citized suddenly and do things cleanly, but instead hurt many people surrounding them. After all living for entire year in the rumors of your husband I'm pretty sure isn't a fun thing as a result of his "protection" (if it wasn't Chestnut, because they write with a note of disregard to making things depressing, but imagine things like depression, trust issues etc.) I find it especially funny because one day you will have to tell Gu Yin everything and as a result Gu Yin basically figured things out herself through the barrage.

This is why I don't like bloody scripts. At least pour some logic into them.
RATE: 2/5. I do not agree with it.
