The niece blurted out, "It's because he's the male lead."
Lin Shanchu said thoughtfully, "But logically speaking, the male lead is a scumbag at the early stage. How can a scumbag whose death is not pitiable like him remain chaste just for a woman?"
The niece thought that Lin Shanchu hated scumbags.
She even said that his death was not pitiable.
The niece continued to explain, "He's the male lead because he stands out from the crowd by remaining chaste. If he hooks up with other women… then he doesn't deserve to be the male lead."
Those words were a wake-up call.
Lin Shanchu's long-standing doubts were resolved by her words.
That scumbag Lu Shiyuan had never slept with Tang Qidai because he was the male lead.
The male lead could hurt the female lead and do all kinds of evil deeds, but he had to remain chaste for her.
It was because this was an angst love story for females.
