Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 369

Listen to him! Did you hear what he just said?

A white moonlight is someone you love but can't have, and I don't have one!

The subtext was clear: I won't ever be in a position where I can't have what I love. If I love it, I take it.

Vivienne had seen the lengths Cyril would go to once he dropped his polite facade, so she wasn't surprised by his mindset. To follow a counter-attack narrative in a world with such rigid class structures, a person's inner core had to be incredibly stable and powerful.

Bianca weakly raised her hand, signaling a different opinion. "Cyril, you really shouldn't think like that, or karma might come back to bite you."

"Exactly!" Vivienne, annoyed by Cyril's smugness, chimed in. "Young people shouldn't be so arrogant. There are millions of people in the world. Do you really think you can make everyone fall for you?"

Cyril just chuckled.

Bianca waved her hands. "That's not what I meant. What I mean is, have you ever considered what happens if the person you love dies? She loves you too, but you just can't be together. The white moonlights in TV shows and novels are usually like that."

Cyril froze slightly, a sudden thought dissolving the gentleness in his eyes.

But it was only for a second. The corners of his lips curved up again. "You should watch less of those shows and books. They lack logic."

Bianca chuckled nervously. "I used to read them. I don't know if the tropes have been updated recently."

"They probably... have been updated." Vivienne's expression turned odd, and she looked at Bianca hesitantly. "So you're saying, in typical novel tropes, the white moonlight always dies early?"

Bianca nodded. "It's the trope! Moonlight is pure and flawless, but what relationship in this world survives without being dragged through the mud? The reason a white moonlight is always remembered is that she vanishes at her most beautiful. Even if he meets a million women who look like her, none of them are her. Tragic endings and the replacement lover trope all evolve from this."

Vivienne's brow twisted into a tight knot. "So... are there any that don't die?"

Bianca thought for a moment. "Maybe, but then she usually becomes a foil for the person who comes after, turning into cannon fodder. So, I personally think it's better if they die. After all, no relationship can compete with a dead person."

Vivienne shot her a glare. "I don't care what you think, I care what I think."
