The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 48 is too long to finish!!!

Maria Elisa examined the pocket watch again, turning it over and over. From the things she'd brought back from the junk planet Dabry, she found a silver necklace. She removed the small ornament hanging in the center of the necklace, leaving only the silver chain. She then threaded the silver chain through the small hole in the pocket watch.

After Maria Elisa put on the pocket watch, she fastened the clasp of the chain, then put the watch on her index finger. With a slight tug, the pocket watch spun like a giant pendulum.

Maria Elisa looked out the window at the restaurant where she had eaten yesterday, and then, as if remembering something, asked Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM, "Does your original text contain any information about Polillard? If so, could I take a look?"

"Sure, but there might not be much. Although the original text is written from Polalid's perspective, Polalid's actual presence isn't very strong. The only summary of his background is that Polalid was picked up by his current father. His birth mother was framed and exiled to a junk planet. It was only yesterday that the restaurant owner went to the junk planet to look for his family heirloom that he encountered him in his spaceship and took him home. Otherwise, it would be a question of how many days he would have survived. Polalid's birth mother was also framed by his birth father. This is a simplified version told to him by others; he doesn't even know the specifics."

"And what about HP.A.Lack?"

"Hewlett-Packard? Of course! Hewlett-Packard had many wives and many children, but of all his children, only the ones born to his first wife were his biological children. However, because he disliked his first wife and felt that she was getting in the way of his pursuit of true love, he plotted to get rid of her. It was like some kind of curse—after his first wife died, none of his remaining wives gave birth to any of his children."

“In a sense, it’s like being cursed,” Lu Renkui said. “But it doesn’t seem to have caused much harm. At most, it just means he has no descendants. He still took in those children who didn’t have his bloodline and chose one or more of them as his heirs.”

"You previously said that Pollard's personality is hard to change?" Maria Elisa suddenly changed the subject. "You said he's weak and indecisive. Kind, but lacking in ability. Therefore, he often causes trouble for others."

"Yes, that's right," System WQBYRZM smacked its lips in response.

“But I think I see that he seems to have changed a bit—look how decisively he broke off with that guy Aralia because of me, didn’t he?” Maria Elisa looked at the woman’s photo in the pocket watch again and suddenly felt that she had seen her face somewhere before.

"Have I seen this woman somewhere before?" Maria Elisa wondered. "A classmate from school? Or a picture circulating online?"

"Because you're alive?" the system WQBYRZM said. "It's normal to cause a little butterfly effect... Hey, wait a minute!"

“Perhaps we can help Pora change her personality by having someone like us who almost died.” Lu Renkui suddenly realized, “Pora’s personality was formally formed two months before we got the original text. At that time, her adoptive father also died, and her inheritance of the restaurant was forcibly taken away.”

"'But he still chose to face life with a smile. And he still retained his inherently kind heart.' But at that time, his arm was broken by the fifth male lead, and it was a comminuted fracture. This is why, even though he had attended military school, he was much weaker than the average Omega." System WQBYRZM recounted the original plot and explained why Pollard became a weak dependent.

“Ah, so he was beaten and his arm was broken. I was wondering why his arm was still perfectly fine, and the article described Pollari’s other hand as a cheap bionic. I thought he was disabled.” Lu Renkui spoke softer and softer.

"Let me make this clear first, this is just my speculation. I can't guarantee that I can change Pollard's personality from its current state to the personality we want." Maria Elisa stroked the photo on the pocket watch, feeling that there seemed to be something blurry on the mirror containing the photo. So she got up, picked up a rag, and tried to wipe off the blurry thing stuck to the mirror.

"No matter what, we have to give it a try first," Lu Renkui said. "Since we were able to change one plot point, we can change other plot points as well."
