    I recently read this, so it might not fit the topic perfectly. It's all about the beautiful, strong, and tragic protagonist with a lot of fluff 🌝🌚, but it's really good. The protagonist learns that he's cannon fodder in a horror game because of the arrival of a system. Then, the system completely transforms him into a beautiful, strong, and tragic character. Everyone thinks he's a big shot, but that's not the case. The protagonist's inner monologue is very interesting, and his bickering and arguing with the system is quite funny. The character design is also incredibly satisfying. It feels like the seme in the story is the kind of guy who would lick the protagonist's hand even if the seme slapped him.

The first two have a rather tragic backstory, but they're both reborn, so I don't know if the ending will be tragic yet. The protagonists in these books are all idealists with great love for their country. The first three have no romantic pairing, just one-sided love. I've only read a little over 100 chapters of the second one, and I haven't seen any signs of a romantic pairing yet; everyone else is just having unrequited love, and I haven't seen the ending yet.

    Xie Qing abandoned his sword and departed with his soul: "First, a sacrifice to Immortal Venerable Chen Xue; second, a sacrifice to the Qingxian of yesteryear; third, a sacrifice to the eternal life!" The evil spirit offered its body as a sacrifice to the heavens, respectfully invoking divine thunder. Today, it would surely slay all evil and restore peace to the world! The Nine Provinces changed color, encroaching upon the heavens and earth. The rampant evil spirits, hearing the sound of the wind, were startled, then panicked and fled in disarray, losing their composure. The cultivators sensed something was wrong and looked up at the gloomy sky. Thunder shook the gods, swords clashed, dragons roared, and countless sorrows filled the air. "Xie Qing!!!" The people of Qingxian Mountain lost their voices, their cries shattering in the clouds. With the divine thunder complete, Xie Qing smiled sincerely. The only thing he couldn't bear to part with was that green mountain, and those people.

    So good I cried! A story of beautiful, strong, and tragic characters: a sickly beauty prince, a crazed emperor, and a forced ❤️ (heartstrings) that I actually love. Beautiful, strong, and tragic, coughing up blood throughout, yet truly powerful; everyone is intelligent, a double strength. At first, I thought it was a universally adored character, but it's not at all. Each character has their own storyline, each is well-developed. Every character is fleshed out. The writing is superb; after finishing it, I felt sorry for every single one of them. It's not black and white; everyone is truly doing what they have to do from their own perspective. Highly recommended!
