The puppets' stage play

A wisp of autumn is like a cloud of smoke, half of the remaining clouds and half of the heart.

("Is this a sentence you like?")

It turned its head and looked forward, where a vague figure existed. Its eyes like autumn eyes were looking here, and a ray of gold was faintly visible in it.

"...No." It shook its head and lowered its eyes.

("Yes, I like it very much.")

It suddenly raised its head, its pupils trembled slightly, a complicated emotion flashed through its heart, and it could gradually see the face clearly.

It was a smiling face. When it saw its gaze, it blinked and showed a generous smile. It was a little envious for a moment.

"I..." It opened its mouth, but stayed in place. A slight sense of urgency surged in its heart, but it could not express its feelings clearly.

It clearly wants to say...what does it want to say?

It suddenly fell into confusion. What on earth was it doing? It felt ashamed in its heart and lowered its head.

Just like looking into a mirror, if the image shown in the mirror is too dazzling, then it should be the fault of the mirror. Thinking of this, a trace of dark emotions can't help but rise in my heart.

("Well, let's talk about something interesting.")

The 'person in the mirror' clapped her hands, the smile on her face still bright, she pinched half of her cheeks, a look of contemplation appeared in her eyes.

Then she looked over here, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.

"Then, let's communicate face to face."

Facing the words that suddenly became clear, it couldn't help but look at the other party, but was shocked to find that the guy was approaching.

The clouds and mist around her body gradually faded away like an illusion. The platinum skirt was swaying beneath her body. Those firm eyes looked straight at this side. With that bright and generous figure, it made her a little envious...

It lowered its head, and its eyes were dark for a moment. It was indeed 'envy' and had no other emotions.

pat.

A cold touch came, and the arm was pulled up. It couldn't help but look over there. In front of it was a bright, flower-like smile. The golden pupils looked here, and a 'humble' figure was reflected in the pupils.

"I caught you~"

The voice rose slightly, and the person in the mirror immediately put down his hands, his face softened, and he stared at it like a kind big sister.

"Since we are going to talk, we have to face each other, don't you think?" She smiled softly, looking particularly calm.

"...I don't know." It jerked its hand away, a rare courage surged in its heart, and its resistance and disgust made it make this decision.

It’s just a mere————

"Derived personality, right?" The person in the mirror smiled, but there was still no gloom in his eyes.

It pursed its lips and looked at the other person.

"..." A complex emotion arose in her heart again, which she didn't want to say out loud.

"Let me tell you why you are like this." The person in the mirror looked happy. She waved one hand, and a white jade table and four matching stone piers suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

She made a gesture of invitation, and then Shi Shiran sat on it.

It was a little tangled in its heart, but it did not reject the other party's kindness and sat down.

"First of all, let's talk about the situation here. You are in a dream, or in other words, it is a place similar to a dream."

The person in the mirror looks into the distance, which is composed of layers of white smoke, always with a sense of illusion, and there are still some hazy places when looking from a distance.

And the two of them are living here at the moment.

"What about you? What are you?" It couldn't help but ask with some hostility.

"Me?" The person in the mirror pointed to himself, his expression a little subtle, "As you said, it's probably just a derivative personality, it's no big deal."

She put down her fingers and looked at the distant scenery with a pleased expression.

".........quibble." It was somewhat dissatisfied. It knew this as soon as it saw the other party. What it wanted to know was, why did the other party appear here? !

"Don't be anxious. Although the time here is not eternal, it will not be separated." The person in the mirror glanced here and waved his hand casually.

"Belusa, what do you desire?"

Suddenly, it heard a familiar name, and immediately raised its head to look at the other person. There was still a hint of hazyness on that beautiful face, and no real emotions could be seen.

"I don't know." Belusa shook her head. She didn't know what she wanted to do.

Her aunt said she wanted her to inherit the Lun family, and people said they expected her to inherit the honor of the imperial daughter. It seemed that as soon as she arrived, other blades would set necessary goals for her, and she would have no time to think about other things.

...In other words, she must rely on this affirmation to have the slightest courage to live.

After all, she was not the owner of this body in the first place. Thinking of the guy who did whatever he wanted, she felt envious and lonely in her heart.

Why yourself?

"Thinking is very important. The so-called 'self' is something that sprouts only in thinking. Belusa, it's not that you haven't thought about it, you are just afraid to find the answer."

The man in the mirror gave a rare sigh, and then his golden eyes looked at Belusa, who was a little confused.

"I am you, and I am not you, but I have experienced all the emotions and thoughts you have. From another perspective, I am indeed you."

Like an eternal thing, the golden light bloomed with an extremely firm determination.

"Admit it frankly, Belusa, you are actually very dissatisfied. In fact, you want to go on your own without being interfered by others. That is what you have always longed for in your heart, isn't it?"

As if the fog in her heart had been pierced, Belusa's face showed bitterness, her mouth was wide open, and there was a layer of mist in her frosty eyes.

"What can I do? Everyone is expecting so much. I can't say anything willful. I have to meet their expectations. Otherwise, what if they ask that person to replace me?!"

"People will say that if this guy is not good, his original personality is better...I don't want to die..."

Her voice became choked for a moment, and tears rolled down one after another. Belusa's body was trembling, and her eyes were filled with sadness and fear.

The person in the mirror looked at the other person quietly, with no waves in his golden pupils.

"Well, that's what she thinks, Tia, what do you think?"

Suddenly, she looked away and looked at the other side. She said the name that made Belusa's heart tremble. Her sobs broke off and she looked over there almost subconsciously.

Tia appeared there wearing a light green skirt and a sleepy look on her face.

"Me?" Tia glanced here and couldn't help but sneer, "It's none of my business. She thinks all her own nonsense and still blames me. What a waste."

Belusa shrank her head, not daring to make any more moves, but just stood there stiffly.

"She wants to reminisce, but it's partly because of you, so I have to ask you in front of her." The person in the mirror shook his head, and then looked at the other person calmly.

"Have you ever considered replacing 'Belusa'?"

As soon as these words came out, Belusa looked at the other party subconsciously, even though she was frightened in her heart.

"Replace? Hahahahaha." Tia was stunned, and then laughed. Her pair of darker frost-colored eyes looked here, with an extremely wanton smile on her face.

"That's not a stupid question, but since you asked it, I'll tell you frankly."

Tia's smile faded, with a hint of coldness.

"Isn't that just what I like? As long as I want to, I will replace her. But, in other words, as long as I don't want to, I won't bother to care about her. No matter how much she thinks or acts hypocritically, I won't care."

"Ah, but I think that as long as Tia appears, everyone will definitely turn this way. After all, no one will love a waste. Isn't this a matter of course?"

Tia's face showed a confident expression, while Belusa stayed where she was, looking a little hesitant.

The man in the mirror nodded, and then looked over, his golden eyes still without any emotion.

"Look, whether you accept other people's arrangements or decide your own path forward, this guy will not change anything. Therefore, I can also tell you that your previous actions were meaningless and you were just paranoid. "

"You are not blind, but you are no different from a blind person. You rely solely on speculations in your heart, but do not take the initiative to ask other people's opinions. That is why you are still stuck in the quagmire and cannot extricate yourself."

"Belusa----"

The woman with frosty eyes raised her face, the expression on her face looked extremely void.

"The first half of your life is worthless, so let me do it."

The person in the mirror stretched out his hand, and for just a moment, in Tia's eyes watching the show, he merged with Belusa opposite. The golden light gradually spread out, and a brand new figure appeared on the spot.

Wearing a pale golden feather dress, the woman with a calm expression and frosty eyes slowly raised her head, and there were golden rings in her eyes. Then, she turned her eyes and looked at Tia.

"I will be 'Belusa' from now on, Tia. If you really want to replace this name, then do it to me."

The golden pupils shone like diamonds, and the arrogant white jade face faced the other party, and a resolute aura instantly spread out.

"Hmph, whatever you want, I'll tell you when I'm in the mood." Tia yawned, then frowned slightly and pressed on her heart, "What a troublesome thing..."

While sighing, Tia's figure slowly melted in front of her eyes.

Belusa looked into the distance. The white mist at the end of her field of vision gradually faded away, revealing the grassy land below. An expression of joy suddenly appeared on her face.

"The next step is to 'play' Belusa well. This is not difficult, but the behavior pattern must gradually change."

As she thought about it, the world in front of her gradually became empty.

The next moment, she held her heart, and the expression on her face became inexplicable and confused.

"What exactly is this emotion..."

White smoke rolled up and turned into fine sand in the air. The world collapsed in an instant and fell into nothingness.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the world in front of her gradually became clear, and a ray of gold flashed through her eyes.

"Damn it, you won't always win, Belusa!!!"

A somewhat dissatisfied and irritable tone came from the side, and she glanced at it. It was a figure lying on the ground with a good face, but now it looked a little ferocious, and he was just yelling at this side.

"Really, then come on."

After giving a few words of encouragement, and looking at the other person's face that instantly became astonished, Belusa stepped forward unmoved. The originally solid scene in front of her eyes gradually shattered, and the people showing various expressions gradually lost their reality.

"It's all illusion after all." She sighed with a happy expression on her face, walking confidently ahead like a walk after the rain.

The woman behind him watched the figure go away in shock, feeling a little confused.

Why did that guy who had always been taciturn suddenly become like this? Some reluctance suddenly rose in her heart...an imperceptible fear.

If the other party continues as before, no matter how outstanding the other party's performance is, but he is good at communication, he is sure to suppress the other party, but now...

She watched the other person gradually go away, but her heart sank to a bottom that was bottomless.

["Welcome to your next visit, tester."]

The sound in her ears faded away, and she raised her eyes to look at the red-haired woman who was doing nothing.

"Han Shiyin." She read out the other person's name.

Han Shiyin raised her eyebrows, and then looked over. A trace of disgust flashed through her eyes first, and then her expression changed, and her eyes began to look a bit inquisitive.

"You, could it be?"

The slightly surprised eyes looked here, Belusa nodded slightly, her frosty eyes were as devoid of any emotion as before.

"Oh, congratulations then." Han Shiyin curled her lips, then left her red eyes, turned around, and walked towards the door.

"Others are at that level. It seems that this time the 'Prince' still decided in advance."

Han Shiyin walked in front, feeling a little unhappy. They were really useless guys.

She didn't care about those people who were still inside. Although it is logical that the royal daughter is a profession that belongs exclusively to the Nolen family, the federation does not allow it, so this kind of assessment is carried out.

Now it seems that Belusa, who can freely control the characteristics of her own bloodline and has a new 'personality', is ahead of everyone, which makes her deeply disgusted by her resistance to that family.

'Me too, and then I will be my opponent. Han Shiyin clenched her fists, determination flashing in her red eyes.

Being more perfect than before, whether it is character or wisdom, is essentially a by-product of a perfect body, but for them, it is an effective means to improve themselves.

The current me is no longer the original Tang Qianyi, she couldn't help but think, and then suppressed it.

No, she will be Tang Qianyi in the future. She will take steps forward and never stop.

Belusa turned her head and glanced to the side. Sure enough, no one else had arrived. Confirmation flashed in her eyes and a slight smile appeared on her face.

"I won, that's all."

She turned around, looked at the red figure in the distance, and moved towards the next 'target'.

From now on, she will be the 'Princess' Belusa.

Well, the princess sounds better, she thought to herself.
