Chapter 464 – I Also Wrote a Male Protagonist Novel!
Due to Song Yi’s academic background and talent, as well as the promising prospects for the hospital’s development after he joined Beijing People’s Hospital, all doubts regarding his appointment as the parachuted vice president vanished.
Song Yi truly possessed the qualifications and potential for the role.
Moreover, they intended to cultivate a good relationship with him after his entry into the hospital, not only because of his bright future but also due to his medical skills.
At that time, Song Yi’s medical expertise was among the best in the country.
He could perform many surgeries that others were unable to handle and could save many patients who would otherwise have been deemed dead with the current medical practices in the country.
Life, aging, illness, and death were experiences that everyone would go through.
No one could guarantee that they wouldn’t fall ill in the future or that they wouldn’t someday need Song Yi’s skills.
Therefore, for their own sake and that of their families, it was essential to maintain a good relationship with him.
However…
There was a bit of regret.
At such a young age, only in his twenties, Song Yi was already married with children. If he hadn’t gotten married, perhaps he could have been considered as a potential husband or son-in-law…
Some even entertained thoughts of trying to win him over.
But when they learned that Song Yi’s wife came from the same place as him and was also a graduate student from Beijing University, their resolve started to wane.
Especially after digging deeper into Xu Fanghua’s background, any lingering hopes faded completely.
This Xu Fanghua had an incredibly strong network.
Her brother, Xu Xiangdong, had single-handedly led Anren County to become a nationally renowned fruit-growing region, helping the locals earn substantial profits.
His younger brother, Xu Xiangbei, was the founder and owner of the Xiangning Supermarket chain, and he was now a leader in the real estate industry. He had single-handedly transformed Anren County from an ordinary, remote town into a modern city.
Recently, it was said that Anren County had not only expanded its surrounding area but was also set to upgrade from a county to a city, making Anren City a direct-controlled municipality.
Such capability was indeed impressive.
Then there was her sister, Xu Jinning, who was a formidable figure in the National Translation Department and also the mistress of the Xie family.
With such a sister around, no one in Beijing dared to cross Xu Fanghua.
Moreover, the international medical mogul Ning Di was Xu Fanghua’s aunt…
Of course, counting all the connections, the Xu family had many influential ties.
It was even rumored that the Xu family had the backing of the national government.
With connections like that, even if they had a hundred guts, they wouldn’t dare to compete with Xu Fanghua for Song Yi.
After all, they might provoke the Xu family and attract the attention of the national government.
If that happened, their own families could face ruin.
Thus, it was wiser to cast aside any bad thoughts and cultivate a good relationship with Song Yi.
As a result, when Song Yi started his position at Beijing People’s Hospital, he received a warm welcome.
No one expressed dissatisfaction; in fact, there was a subtle air of respect toward him.
Though Song Yi felt somewhat bewildered, he found this treatment quite agreeable.
He quickly settled into his work…

Meanwhile, in Haishi, a personal custom clothing store named “Shuran” was open for business.
The “Shuran” clothing store had been open for over two years. Although business was slow at first due to high prices, in recent years, as people increasingly pursued quality in their clothing and improved their economic conditions, the number of customers coming in for custom garments had grown significantly.
Now, business was quite good.
At noon, with fewer customers, the owner finally had a rare moment to relax.
She took out her notebook and continued writing her novel.
The person immersed in her writing was Lin Wangshu. She was the owner of the “Shuran” clothing store.
Over the past two years, Lin Wangshu’s life had been quite peaceful.
After opening the clothing store, business gradually improved. Her mother, Yao Shuiban, had retired early due to health issues and was now at home helping to take care of Lin Wangshu’s child.
With plenty of free time outside of managing the store, Lin Wangshu thought about picking up her hobbies again.
One of her hobbies was writing novels…
She considered submitting her stories to magazines; if any were accepted, she might earn some money from it.
Of course, she also harbored a literary dream.
It would be even better if one day her novels could be published.
In this era, modern novels had not yet taken off, and Lin Wangshu felt she could seize the opportunity to get ahead.
In the 21st century, she had read many novels; otherwise, she wouldn’t have started writing one herself.
Now, however, she intended to create original works rather than copy others.
Additionally, she aimed to avoid writing solely as a form of venting, or distorting values as she had done in the modern era.
Lin Wangshu knew that the novels she had written in her modern life had problematic themes.
“I wonder how many novels I wrote back then?” she murmured.
The first one was probably a story about real and fake daughter.
In it, the real daughter was Lin Wangshu, while the fake daughter was Xu Jinning.
Yes, this was indeed the world of the novel she was now in.
Actually, Lin Wangshu—no, she should be called Xu Jinwen—never expected to find herself in the world of her own story after her death.
When she was writing this novel, she had been fueled by jealousy toward Xu Jinning.
That’s why she subjected Xu Jinning to various torments in the narrative, ultimately writing her character off.
As for the protagonist Lin Wangshu, while she hadn’t given her any obvious advantages, she had endowed her with incredible luck and the halo that made everyone love her.
In the end, she stood at the pinnacle of the world alongside the male lead, Shen Huai.
But looking back, Lin Wangshu found it all quite absurd.
Knowing it was just a fictional story, she had still wanted to replicate the plot in her own life.
If her ambitions hadn’t been so grand, she wouldn’t have faced the risk of almost being sacrificed by Shen Huai.
Now, reflecting on her past works, everything seemed ridiculous.
“Besides this one, what else did I write?”
“Oh, there was one where the female lead was named Jiang Xiao…” During that time, the theme of rebirth was very popular, so Xu Jinwen wrote a novel featuring the reborn Jiang Xiao as the protagonist.
There was also a story with Xu Ru from Qinghe Village as the main character.
“…Qinghe Village, Xu Ru…” Lin Wangshu recalled that when she lived in Qinghe Village, there indeed was a Xu Ru.
However, whether this Xu Ru was the same as the one in her novel remained uncertain.
“Then there was another one with the female lead Murong Jing…” She was a character who had crossed over from the cultivation world, deceived and wronged by a scumbag, ultimately becoming emotionally detached.
Her special ability was something she brought from the cultivation realm.
“Right, I also wrote a male protagonist novel!”
