There were paparazzi, too—they had finally witnessed an exchange of looks between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu, and were excitedly anticipating a big event!
"Three, two, one! ACTION!"
Xia Siyu and the male lead didn't jump off the cliff right away; there was a brief piece of plot before the jump.
In the melee, she was stabbed by the great Antagonist's master, a blow to a vital area, and she was now fleeing with the male lead. But the enemies were too strong and numerous, and the two of them had run to the edge of a cliff, with no way forward and pursuers behind. What to do?
At the edge of the cliff, her master recited the classic line of the Antagonist, catching up and stopping: "You can't escape. Just give up."
Behind him followed many minions from the Cult. Although their martial arts were poor, they were many in number. And both protagonists were injured, with no chance of winning in sight.
Then the scene of the cliff jumping officially began.
