Some were kind and generous, while others were honest and selfless. Yet, to advance the protagonists' “unwavering” love, the author turned them into catalysts, tormenting them both physically and emotionally. They either fell ill and went abroad or died young. [They became someone else's light, living on in hazy memories, or twisted their true nature and became despised villains, scorned and shunned by everyone.] The white-moonlight characters sobbed and pleaded with the authors to give them long, happy lives. At last, under the force of their immense resentment, the unscrupulous authors were threatened by the System and ordered to send people to save them.
