You Were Asked to Write About Great Qin, and You Say the Protagonist Is Too Arrogant?

Su Ze wakes up to find himself taking part in a live-streamed creative variety show!

The contestants have to create something based on a prompt from the production team.

When the prompt is “Great Qin,”

Su Ze sees the other contestants writing about figures like the First Emperor Ying Zheng and the God of War Bai Qi, all going for historical realism.

He decides to take another approach. Mythology it is!

The viewers curse him out: “Yi Xiaochuan is weak and useless. He's supposed to be the protagonist?”

The viewers assume Su Ze is just making a fool of himself for attention. But then they see what comes next...

“You think you're so great, so noble... I'm going to climb, one step at a time, one step at a time, all the way to the top!”

For the prompt “Science,” he writes about the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader: “I just want to prove that the Earth is round, but they don't believe me and even beat me up!”

For the prompt “Philosophy,” he writes about the Netherworld Ming King: “Human desire is like a boulder rolling down a mountain. Once it starts, it can never stop.”

And for the prompt...

The viewers are dumbfounded. “So who's the real protagonist here?”
