Chapter 127 (1/2)

She intended to get herself fully informed of her situation whenever she finds herself in another random story, courtesy of the Two Dimensional Gate, no matter how boring, awful, or distasteful the work was to her.

Like ”Pure Romance”, under normal circ.u.mstances, Zhao Youyue would never read such an erotic, school-based harem manga. However, since she has traveled into this world, she has committed the whole story to memory with all her heart. She believed that understanding the plot is vital if she wants to make things work.

It was also probably due to her preference for the endless, survival type dimension-traveling 'Isekai' novels. These novels have always stressed one thing - knowledge is power. Protagonists would often strive to learn as much as they possibly can about the new, strange worlds they find themselves in.

Of course, in this TV drama ”War heroes”, she has entered the world with the clear intention of destroying the story. The original storyline should just buzz off!

Initially, she was not looking forward to the quality that ”War Heroes” would offer. However, when she forced herself through the story, she realized the drama was actually not that bad. Perhaps, it was because she lacked experience with war movies, for she was actually taken aback after witnessing the cruelty of war. She then understood that war was no child's play, and you the pen was not always mightier than the sword. When words do not get through, you might have to spill your blood, or pay for freedom with your life!

The script for this drama was based on the historical war against Russia. It borrowed the events of that famous war as inspiration, and came as close as they could to portraying realism.

The male protagonist Liu Xing, was the commander of one of the Chinese people's brigade. It was called the ”Fierce Tiger's Regiment”, and all the members were very capable fighters in their own right. He was the perfect hero. He had no weaknesses besides being a little hot-blooded and cynical at times.

Liu Xing was a very patriotic man. He would spill his blood or even lay down his life for his country. At the same time, he cared about all his troop members and treated them as his own brothers. He would use any necessary means to help his brothers!

He also took his family bond very seriously, and he cared deeply for his only sister, Liu Qing. However, she was just a university student in the drama, and would never make an appearance in the frontlines.

As for our main protagonist Liu Xing, not only does he have to battle the Russians, he also has to deal with the bulls.h.i.+t coming from his idiotic superior, Liang Feifan. Liang Feifan stood for all that is corrupt and self-serving and cowardly in the military, and it was just impossible for such character to exist in the real world. After all, the character would mightly end up being tried for defaming the army.

However, in this world, the scale of your story could go to any length. After all, the way they filmed it was similar to an American drama. You could broadcast the show while filming it without needing the approval of any authoritative a.s.sociation.

The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People's Republic of China was a terrible department. It should not exist, because it only served to irritate the viewers, scriptwriters, and directors alike!

Liang Feifan came from a n.o.ble family. He was a selfish person and sought nothing but profit. He was jealous of talented people, especially Liu Xing who was an exceptionally skilled soldier. Not only would he keep picking on Liu Xing, he would even claim credit for the latter's military exploits. He was particularly afraid for the day if Liu Xing is promoted and leaves his team, where people would realize that he is actually an incompetent buffoon.

If you were watching the drama in Liu Xing's shoes, it would be a story of tormenting the main protagonist. This was all because Liu Xing would constantly endure hards.h.i.+ps for his country, reaching the limit as to how much a hero could cope with. Not only did he have to face the cruel Russians, he still had to bear with the pressure coming from upstairs. Foreign, domestic, he somehow finds a way to survive it!

Perhaps the director, Ling Jianzhong intended to use this method to portray Liu Xing's heroism. However, this well-produced drama was too aggravating for the viewers. It was unbearable for the viewers to see him fighting the Russians while being tortured by his superiors!

The important part was that when Liu Xing is on the front lines; Liang Feifan would be seducing his wife, Zhao Dongni. The story was getting outrageous, as the main protagonist was being picked on, too excessively. What was the director trying to proof here, that the hero would definitely be cheated on and still forgives her later on?
