I Became A Playwright In Medieval Fantasy

Chapter 30

Not long after my secret meeting with Professor Gabi,

I found myself seated at my desk, refining what had started as a simple brainstorming session. The night before, I had drunk far too much, and now I was paying the price with a throbbing hangover.

“Ugh, my head is killing me.”

‘I must’ve lost my mind, drinking baijiu like that.’

After accepting the role of the lead in Phantom’s new play, thanks to Professor Gabi’s introduction, I was set to begin training with the Gellorusina Theater Company until the script was completed.

To celebrate, the professor had treated me to some elven liquor—too much of it. Now I was paying the price.

‘I’ll need to cut out the overly ruthless and underhanded parts.’

If the audience recoils in horror at the hero’s actions, they won’t be able to immerse themselves in the story.

Moreover, Xiang Yu’s political background posed a serious problem.

Xiang Yu’s audacious words as a child, spoken while watching Qin Shi Huang’s imperial procession, were infamous:

“I will kill him and take his place!”

‘Even if this is set in a fictional world, I can’t have a noble making that kind of statement about an emperor—it’s unthinkable.’

And then there was the fact that Xiang Yu betrayed and murdered his own sovereign, King Huai of Chu, which was an undeniably treacherous act. If the main character of my play did something like that, the entire theater would be in uproar.
