In this short scene, we learn that the author of the novel, Lanpi, has agreed to change the plot of the story to a "tormented love story" in order to appeal to a wider audience. This is because the novel's ending is "super tormenting" , in that it reveals that the protagonist, da Niu, has transmigrated from the real world to the imaginary world and has returned to it at the end of her journey. The protagonist is now separated from her lover, wang-cai, forever. Lanpi tells us that bai-jiu's "autumnal aura" has suddenly changed, and that he is now "awesome" . He tells the protagonist that he knows that they do not belong together in the same universe, but that he also approached her with the intention to "ying" with her. The author tells the audience that she is an "acting genius" and that she has "immersed herself into the part in just one-second." The protagonist wants to go home, but the boss tells her that they have decided to replace the protagonist with another actor.
