The backdrop can also be propped up.

How could the male protagonist, who was perfectly fine, suddenly die? Chengmenqin frowned as she thought.

"Brother Wang, are you still angry?" Mo Xing, Wang Fenglang's good friend, came over and sat down next to "Wang Fenglang." "Are you angry about that misunderstanding with the demons, or..."

"I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about who among our generation is capable of shouldering this great responsibility." Cheng Menqin recalled the main formidable opponents of the male protagonist in the original story and planned to choose from among them.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xing chuckled: "Capable of shouldering great responsibilities? What's there to think about? Which of us in this generation is incapable of shouldering great responsibilities? Brother Wang, you're worrying too much about this matter."

Cheng Menqin said dismissively, "You're right, I was overthinking it." But in her heart, she was analyzing Mo Xing's personality.

Mo Xing, as described in the original text, was benevolent, righteous, and generous. Unfortunately, he was too sentimental; once he became convinced that Jing An was the murderer of Wang Fenglang, he relentlessly pursued him. Mo Xing never intended to let Jing An go, and in the end, Jing An, who had unexpectedly advanced in rank, beheaded him, then burned his body, leaving no trace. Cheng Menqin thought to herself.

Okay, it's the same old formula—those who oppose the protagonist never have a good ending. Chengmen Qin sighed a couple of times, then his gaze began to wander through the crowd, intending to find out who else could become the protagonist.

"Dinner's ready!" came the cook's voice from afar. Chengmen Qin had just stood up when several students in school uniforms darted over. One of them, a ten-year-old boy with a Tang sword at his waist, was the fastest.

"Quick, quick! I've got my bowl! Give it to me! Dinner's finally ready, I'm starving!" Nolan stood in front of the pot, hands outstretched, urging the maid to quickly ladle him a bowl of soup. But he saw the maid seem frightened, taking two steps back. The old nanny quickly stood up to protect the maid, anxiously asking, "Young master, why are you holding a knife?"

Nolan then realized that he had picked up his Tang sword instead of a bowl. He awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth, smiled at Granny Li and Caihua, tucked the Tang sword back into his waistband, took out the bowl and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I took the wrong one. Please don't mind it, please don't mind it."

Seeing that the other party did not do it on purpose, Caihua calmed down, took out a spoon and scooped a spoonful for the young master, filling the young master's bowl to the brim.

Nolan was happily picking up the bowl, ready to find a place to eat, when he suddenly heard a furious roar: "Nolan! What are you doing?"

Nolan shuddered in fright, stiffened, and turned around to see his teacher, Master Zhong, staring at him with his eyebrows raised in anger.

Nolan knew he was doomed. He walked toward the cook with a mournful face, but still refused to put down the bowl in his hand, which was still scalding hot from the pot.

Nolan walked over with his head down to Master Zhong. Master Zhong used his spiritual power to snatch Nolan's bowl, angrily pointed to the end of the line, and said, "You go stand over there and be the last one to eat."

As Cheng Menqin watched Nolan walk dejectedly to the last seat, information related to Nolan immediately popped into her mind.

Nolan was originally a minor character with little screen time. His only notable trait was his love of food. He seemed unsuitable as a potential protagonist, and his death was simply described as "dying alongside others at the hands of Zhang Chenmian," becoming a human shield for the protagonist.

Cheng Menqin shook his head, picked up the bowl, and walked to Caihua. When Caihua saw that it was the eldest young master, her hand trembled slightly as she poured the soup.

"Greetings, young master." Caihua called out to Granny Li, and the two of them bowed to "Wang Fenglang" together.

Cheng Menqin, inside Wang Fenglang's body, nodded, took the bowl, and left, still pondering which person to train as the protagonist.

Within the demon realm, Melissa slowly awoke from Zhang Chenmian's body. She and System 0733 had gone to great lengths to put the strongest demon of this generation into a state of slumber.

Melissa stretched and moved around in Zhang Chenmian's body before complaining, "Finally got in. Even if I couldn't get into the original body the first time, I could get in the second time. But after failing the first time, the original body was awake the whole time, so I couldn't get in. I finally waited until she was asleep before she came in, but the first thing she did was tell me that the male lead was dead. She deducted my points and I have to complete an extra task. What a hassle."

"It's alright, host." A lively and cute voice rang in her mind. It was Melissa's system 0377. "That annoying person 0814 was with has also lost a lot of points. As long as we complete the extra mission before him, we can pull ahead of him in points and make him forever only ranked second."

"That's true." Melissa looked at the body she was in with satisfaction—the original owner had such strong combat power, but in the end, she was stabbed to death by the male protagonist because of her sister's love-struck mind. She really couldn't stand it.

"System, give me some information. I need to see if there's anyone who can take over the protagonist's position. And while I'm at it, I also want to go see my dear sister who's willing to do anything for love."
