A Cannon Fodder Villain, but I Turn the Savior Gay [Quick Transmigration]

[Complete] The main story is finished, and bonus chapters are in progress. Anti-scraping ratio: 30%

A successful web novel needs more than a protagonist favored by Heaven. It also needs a foil of a villain, whose very purpose in life is to add the most dazzling chapter to the protagonist's story.

Former best friend, childhood friend, former teacher and student, ex.

Whatever their relationship with the protagonist, they are all destined rivals.

As the charming Villain System, 079's job is to find these villains and persuade them to follow the plot and not cause trouble.

In the end, the villains indeed caused no trouble. They chose instead to put the protagonist through hell.

079: QAQ Is this right?

Arc 1: [Lover Without a License] Future Interstellar ABO

(Complete)

[About to conclude]

[Despised true young master x favored false young master]

(The childbirth storyline will be in a bonus chapter.)

A conspiracy nineteen years ago set your lives on completely different paths. He took your place and everything that should have belonged to you.

There's no denying that your father raised him well. He is noble, beautiful, and powerful.

The center of everyone's attention.

At last, your heart, filled with resentment, jealousy, and hatred, can no longer hold back.

Get close to him. Destroy him.

Your palm strokes his flat stomach as you speak in a wicked voice:

"Big brother, tell me, if we have a child someday, what should they call me?"

[Unfortunately, he is the person in this world who loves me most.]

Arc 2: [Edict of Self-Blame] Ancient Setting (Complete)

[Wicked minister x wise emperor]

(This arc includes the bottom getting pregnant and the top being forbidden from attacking, as well as childbirth. These elements are limited, so please don't read if you dislike them.)

Eighty-one charges. A cup of poison. You died on a snowy night.

You open your eyes and find yourself alive again, but your timing couldn't be worse. The powerful minister who once held the court in his grip is now a fool forced into a marriage in someone else's place.

And the person lifting your veil is none other than the ungrateful little brat you raised for sixteen years.

As the red candles flicker, you suddenly recall the charges against you, whether true or false. The first one was:

Disregarding the way of a minister, currying favor with and misleading the emperor.

It was not an unfounded accusation.

So you feign stupidity, smiling as you pinch the fingertip of the person before you and tug gently.

"Husband?"

[Does my emperor hate me for what I did, or hate me because I died?]

Arc 3: [Spring Fever] Modern Setting (Complete)

[Mechanical outsider x cross-dressing player]

You hate this strange world, this place that shattered your peaceful life.

You hate the sunflowers outside the strange villa that never wither, the trains at Platform 7 that never stop, and the peeling walls of the sanatorium that are always restored to pristine condition.

You hate the moon hanging in the daytime and the sun rising at night.

Of course, most of all, you hate that strange young man in a white dress.

The first time you met, he rested his slender chin on your shoulder with far too much familiarity.

He said he wanted to marry you.

He said he'd been ready for a long time.

Why won't you pay attention to me, my darling groom?

[You are my misfortune and my great fortune, my innocence and my endlessness. - Borges]

Arc 4: [Immortal's Bones] Ancient Xianxia

(This arc is temporarily on hold due to the author's health. It will be added when the author continues writing standalone arcs.)

[Unfilial disciple x the master who is betrayed]

Before dying by his sword, you suddenly want to get under the skin of the old friend you've fought for centuries.

So, as the Sword of All Beings pierces your chest, you touch his face and call him by a name you haven't used in a long time.

"I love you so much, Master."

You can't tell whether the hot liquid is your blood or his tears, but it doesn't matter. Once the dead are buried beneath a mound of earth, even immortals are no different.

Six hundred years after shedding your mortal bones, you finally stop thinking about going home. No one will be waiting for you in that little house with swaying bamboo shadows that you've dreamed of for so long.

You're a child no one wants anymore.

[For you, a thousand times over.]

Notes:

1. This blurb was written in December 2025. The cover uses a commissioned character design, so you can imagine the System as a cute little thing.

2. Please don't use insulting nicknames for either the top or the bottom, and don't make unfunny or uncharming comments about cheating tops or bottoms. Don't switch or disparage the pairings, or the author will secretly cry alone like this: QAQ.

3. These are bittersweet stories of tangled hatred and abundant love, with a few characters who don't know how to hate but love a whole lot. Maybe they're the kind of tragic romance that makes you hate and love at once? The author loves writing pure-love couples kissing. This is a self-indulgent work, and everything serves the plot.

Coming soon: What Should I Do After Accidentally Breaking My Best Friend?

[The main story is told in third person and uses conventional narration. Not everything is presented as forum posts.]

Hot thread title: [Help! My best friend seems broken. Can he still be fixed?]

Attached images: [Thunderous headline] [Screenshot 1 from God's Game] [Screenshot 2 from Ghost's Game]

So, to start with, the streamer had the worst luck playing the game The Emperor's Legacy.

For reasons that couldn't be spoken of, he got a lightning-fast ending in under thirty minutes, ten times in a row.

The streamer was shocked. The streamer was confused. The streamer got angry again and again, but there was nothing he could do.

Everyone laughed at me, and back then, I really was at my funniest.

Until he showed up.

Stop screaming like apes and making weird noises. Seriously, if you were me, you'd think my buddy was an angel too. (Not saying you get to be his best friend.) The moment he appeared, he was surrounded by pure white holy light.

This absolutely isn't true love showing up, so don't slander our pure revolutionary friendship. But my buddy really is an angel, right?

Listen to me. I'm not freaking out, really. Listen: when I skipped class, he dutifully kept watch; when I got into fights, he cheered me on adorably; when I got into trouble, he helplessly cleaned up my messes and paid for the damage. He even picked out every piece of scallion I didn't want to eat.

He's sweet and beautiful, and treats me better than anyone else's wife. If he were a girl, I'd have married him already.

[Edited March 7, 2027. Author: What on earth are the Madman and His Matching Mandarin Duck Bellyband?]

I'm not saying I want to marry my buddy, so don't go making things up.

Back to what I was saying: kindness should be repaid, so what else could I do? He wanted a rabbit lantern, so I made him one. He wanted me to take him horseback riding, so I held him while we rode. He wanted me to sleep with him, so I held him while we slept.

That's just how best friends are. Don't be so surprised.

[Edited March 7, 2027. Author: What on earth are the Madman and His Matching Mandarin Duck Bellyband?]

I'm leaving the starter village, but I can't take him with me. He's just an NPC from the starter village, after all. He looked so sad, like he'd had too much to drink. His cheeks were red as he pushed me onto the bed.

Wait, why is he taking off his clothes?

Wait, what does he mean by calling me his husband...?!!!

[Edited April 16, 2027. Author: What on earth are the Madman and His Matching Mandarin Duck Bellyband?]

Help! My best friend in the game seems broken. He's been following me for a long time. I know he's an NPC, but I really can't bear to throw him away. Can he still be fixed?

[Edited August 28, 2027. Author: The Madman and His Matching Mandarin Duck Bellyband.]

L8908: And I'm just here cheering for a pair of guys: Streamer, are you okay? lol. We're all sad that your wife is gone, but he's just a virtual game character. You'll feel better after a while. The next one will be even more obedient! (pat pat)

L9825: Bro, are you all right?: Bro, seriously, are you okay? You won't accept tips, and you won't reply to messages. Are you really all right?

L9826 Ji Jue: ...You don't understand. There won't be another one.

He isn't dead. He's real. He came to see me last night.

I didn't see him, but I know it had to be him.

[Hot!] [Title: Serious discussion: Is the top player in The Emperor's Legacy game forum insane?]

What does that last line in his post mean? Could a popular NPC in your game really crawl out through the internet cable???

L1 Random passerby: I said back then that giving him the same name as a historical figure was unlucky. And now look, just like that delusional Ji Xie fan, this has gone way beyond anything a handful of sticky rice can fix.

L2 Silverfish: ...Who are you insulting?

1. Desperate straight guy x desperate gay guy (wrong)

Devious straight guy x devious gay guy (right)

2. There are misunderstandings and conflicts, but they make up in bed (trust me). It's a bittersweet romance between two people, with a happy ending.

3. No switching, reversing, or disrespectful shipping. Please don't use insulting nicknames for any of the leads without reason, or the author will cry like this: QAQ.
