Seeing a reader ask about Mr. Gu's background, I suddenly thought of the Jiaoniang Scripture.
After Jiaoniang ended, a friend asked me who the person was that wrote the letter "Who are you?" to Jiaoniang.
This person is quite formidable, as everyone knows, Jiaoniang's growth was engineered by the Cheng Family to forge a terminator machine.
To ensure the change of the Cheng family's doomed fate, they naturally made ample preparations, aside from Jiaoniang, they also prepared an additional assistant just in case.
As expected, a flaw appeared when Jiaoniang was reincarnated. More than half of this flaw was because her husband, Yang Shan, used witchcraft to remove her heart, with the purpose of making her forget everything.
Jiaoniang woke up with memory loss, and that's when the assistant arranged by the Cheng Family came into play, but this assistant also had issues, akin to losing part of their soul during the crossover. After all, the Cheng Family wasn't omnipotent, so this person became somewhat deranged. However, they still remembered their mission and wrote down the three shocking words "Who are you?" which played a critical role in Jiaoniang's memory recovery.
This is the background and story of this person. I eagerly finished telling my friend, who responded with an "Oh" and calmly asked me, "Did you write it out?" I said, "No," and they asked, "So are you communicating with readers using brainwaves?"
Therefore, I want to tell everyone that in the story, every person, even minor characters, I'll think a lot when setting them up, not casually at all. Some characters might only appear once, yet I'll excitedly create a background and story for them. But the strange thing is, when writing, they might not appear at all. It's like the matter about place names I wrote on Weibo. Even if I made up place names, I checked many maps before inventing them. It's quite inexplicable, but doing so gives me a sense of security and confidence when writing a story.
Back to Mr. Gu, I set him up like this: he is an old acquaintance of the master. The master, naturally, is a formidable and commanding person who earns respect, so Mr. Gu holds him in high regard.
He knew that the master accepted a princess as a disciple, knew the prince was ill, and later when the prince got into trouble and Prince Huai was imprisoned, he came to Prince Huai's mansion based on old ties and some ambitious bets, recommending himself to Lu Yunqi as Prince Huai's teacher.
Then, as facts proved, Mr. Gu bet right. Prince Huai ascended to the throne, and given Prince Huai's trust in him, his future position is conceivable. This is also why he could quickly maneuver in the royal court and release Lu Yunqi, and why Miss Jun might say he could also become someone like Yuan Bao who plays power games.
Hmm, that's the story of Mr. Gu. I really feel like I'm communicating with everyone via brainwaves, haha.
Lastly, we haven't met in a day, and I miss you very much, muah muah.
