He wondered if it was because he had developed feelings for Jian Ning, causing the alternate personality to sense danger and want to merge with him?
But if he merged with the alternate personality due to the risk of becoming simple-minded that Dr. Chi mentioned, would Qiao Yu still be the same person who used to get angry easily, was sensitive and suspicious, mentally unstable, and extremely self-conscious?
Would he become that person again, just for a woman?
Would Jian Ning… really be worth doing this for?
Could she be a woman he could entrust his life to, or would she be like that couple…?
Qiao Yu stared ahead, lost in thought.
Perhaps he was just a selfish person.
He was completely different from his alternate personality and would never sacrifice himself or everything for love.
So… even if the alternate personality fiercely resisted, even if the consequence of persisting was that he would become a fool, he was determined to erase the alternate personality’s existence!
He extremely despised such weak personalities.
Thinking carefully, it would be good if Jian Ning could withstand the pressure from the crew and actually go act.
After Jian Ning’s words, Qiao Yu also began to suspect that the alternate personality’s intense reaction was largely because he could wake up and see Jian Ning, unlike before when he would wake up alone, sitting in self-pity or dazed.
Qiao Yu pondered that for the alternate personality, Song Hao’s S.M. was definitely not the most painful thing. He didn’t even mind if Song Hao found other women, as long as Song Hao remembered to come home, he would forgive him unconditionally.
Such a person would not be hurt by the previous script; it would only enhance his survival instinct.
He also didn’t quite believe Dr. Chi’s later suggestion of having Song Hao pamper the alternate personality to lower his guard before delivering a fatal blow.
Dr. Chi had opposed these actions from the beginning, and even though he couldn’t change Qiao Yu’s mind, he would try to persuade him at every opportunity. Qiao Yu sometimes wondered if Dr. Chi’s lack of commitment was the reason the alternate personality’s existence had become increasingly prolonged.
Qiao Yu sighed.
He had been hasty in this matter and didn’t understand love. After the personality split, he was even less clear about the alternate personality’s thought process, never considering this from the start.
He had always thought that with a scumbag like Song Hao, anyone would be driven mad. Making the alternate personality develop feelings would surely lead to heartbreak and self-destruction.
Who would have known the alternate personality was so bizarre, forgiving Song Hao with just a cry after his betrayal?
Whenever Qiao Yu imagined the alternate personality using his face to act coquettish, cry, and compromise, he felt a sense of shameful frenzy.
It was all his dark history.

After returning to the room, Jian Ning began reading the script.
Then she discovered… it was a story about school bullying, verbal violence, and parents choosing to cover up incidents, leading to a tragic ending.
When the female protagonist Ling Lin was in junior high, her front teeth protruded slightly. Combined with her introverted and quiet personality, and her preference for solitude, her classmates gradually stopped interacting with her, treating her as if she were invisible.
One day, when a classmate’s miscellaneous school fees went missing, afraid of being scolded at home, they blamed her for stealing.
The classmate’s parents were furious, rushing to the school to demand the teacher properly discipline her.
The teacher spoke with Ling Lin privately, confirmed she hadn’t stolen anything, and sent her back. Then they questioned the female classmate and discovered she had lost the money herself.
The female classmate’s parents were so angry they beat her.
Losing face and being beaten, the female classmate began to hate Ling Lin, subtly spreading rumors in class that Ling Lin was a habitual thief who stole from her parents at home, shoplifted on the streets, had been caught by a store owner before, and that whenever something went missing in the classroom, she must have secretly taken it.
These words spread quickly, and soon the entire school knew.
From then on, everyone avoided Ling Lin, pointing and whispering as if she carried a virus.
Classmates, both male and female, began to deliberately isolate her.
They would order her around and scold her on the spot if she didn’t complete tasks well.
Ling Lin tried to report this to her parents, but her mother would only gently tell her not to be competitive, not to argue or fight, and to be good.
As long as she did well enough, her classmates would like her. Their current dislike was surely because she hadn’t done things properly, so she should reflect and correct herself.
Ling Lin felt aggrieved and often came home crying, but every time she cried, her mother would become irritable, harshly pushing her outside, telling her to cry outside and not come in until she stopped, or she would have to spend the night outside.
Over time, Ling Lin stopped daring to cry.
These days were difficult, but she endured them, until the first semester of her third year of junior high—
Ling Lin ranked first in the grade. The female classmate who had spread rumors, out of jealousy, hid the class funds and falsely accused the female protagonist of stealing them.
This stirred up a hornet’s nest. Everyone felt that Ling Lin had violated their rights and, avoiding the teacher, dragged her to a small grove and beat her up.
The incident was quite serious. If a high school boy hadn’t happened to come by and stop them, Ling Lin would have almost been beaten to death.
After Ling Lin was sent to the hospital, the class teacher came to the class in a rage, saying that if the class funds were lost, they could carefully investigate, and without evidence, why would everyone spread rumors and why would they beat someone.
Ling Lin’s mother came to the school and actually apologized to the teachers and classmates, saying that Ling Lin was spoiled at home, and if there was anything she did wrong, everyone could tell her, and she would educate Ling Lin at home, asking everyone not to resort to violence in the future.
Even the class teacher with a mild temperament couldn’t stand her attitude and advised her to be more assertive. The mother just smiled and remained stubborn.
The class teacher was helpless and said nothing.
After this farce, those who participated in the beating paid a small compensation and kept quiet for a while.
But this incident planted a seed in her classmates’ minds that Ling Lin was an easy target.
Bullying her would not only go unpunished, but her mother would even apologize to them.
In the second semester of ninth grade, Ling Lin was admitted to the best high school in the province, but was blocked outside by several classmates who harbored resentment, who called some local thugs to try to take compromising photos to ruin her. Ling Lin mustered courage for the first time to fiercely resist, and one of the thugs accidentally pushed her, causing her to crash into a wall and die.
When Ling Lin’s mother heard the news, she was so angry that she fainted. When she woke up, she cried uncontrollably, deeply regretting her actions.
But Ling Lin was already dead, and no amount of crying would help.
At the end of the script, the classmates and thugs who committed violence were arrested. The one who accidentally caused Ling Lin’s death was sentenced to death, the main culprits received life sentences, and the accomplices were sentenced to ten years each.
The movie ended there.
