Yuanchun speculated, "Brother Qingfeng, do you think that as long as Pan Ruo'er lives well and finds other stepping stones, the novel's plot will simply ignore the Tang family?"
"Not necessarily," he replied. "According to the original plot, the reason the second male lead kills his father and mother, sells his wife and daughter, harvests his own liver, kidneys, and corneas—becoming blind in the process—is entirely to raise money for the female lead. If this new stepping stone can't help her raise the money she needs, she will inevitably think of him again."
When that happened, the second male lead would be forced back onto the original path: killing his parents and selling his wife and daughter. If Tang Qingfeng refused to follow the script, the plot would hunt him down.
