The Tool Man Awakens and Turns the Crematorium Upside Down

Main story complete, bonus chapters in progress

One day, a hapless scum gong from a groveling-for-love story awakens to his own consciousness.

They desperately try to escape their fates as tools, only to be confessed to by their former archenemies.

Arc One: Showbiz

Sensitive, sickly, sharp-tongued singer VS gentle, gloomy ghostly benefactor

After realizing that he is just a tool gong in a showbiz groveling-for-love novel, Lu Yaozhi finally loses heart in the face of his lover's indifference and his rival's provocations.

His unrequited efforts in their unequal relationship make him abandon his music career and ruin his health. He collapses at home with a fever.

Unexpectedly, his former archenemy Qin Yichi takes him to the hospital and cares for him attentively.

To escape the novel's plot, Lu Yaozhi flees overnight to another city. He thinks his life will simply go to waste, but the next day his archenemy shows up at his door.

"Come be my singer. I'll bring you back to the top."

His archenemy holds his wrist, eyes brimming with affection. "I like you. I have for a long time."

Later, Lu Yaozhi returns to the stage of a concert attended by tens of thousands. His ex refuses to let go, desperately professing his love and begging for another chance.

Lu Yaozhi tosses his flowers into the trash and says with a faint smile, "Get lost."

Arc Two: Zerg

Arrogant, willful noble male zerg VS old-fashioned, jealous, fatherly female zerg general

Only after his male spouse abandons him alone in a forest on an unfamiliar planet does Keluolain realize he is a sacrificial contrast character in a transmigration-to-the-zerg-world novel, there to highlight how gently the protagonist gong pampers his wife.

He thinks he will die on this rainy night, but to his surprise, General Xieweier, the person he hates most, finds him and takes him back to the home planet.

After reuniting with his family, Keluolain immediately takes his former male spouse to court for attempted murder.

To his surprise, Xieweier, who has always stayed out of conflicts, volunteers to testify for him and helps him refute the marshal, who wants to defend his former spouse.

After presenting proof of his newly awakened S-rank secondary gender, Keluolain becomes a highly sought-after male zerg major general and wins great honors in Xieweier's legion.

At the celebration banquet, Xieweier takes out a pair of rings and gets down on one knee. "I discovered this rare gemstone on an expedition. There is only one raw stone in the entire Federation. I've named it after you. Will you marry me?"

After escaping the death penalty, his former male spouse changes his appearance and infiltrates the legion, hoping that risking his life to protect Keluolain will earn his forgiveness.

Keluolain only sneers beside his hospital bed. "Count the first time we met, when I helped you out of trouble. You owe me two lives."

"You should be willing to die for me."

Arc Three: Xianxia Love Triangle

Gentle, frail, righteous-path prodigy senior brother VS scheming, possessive, demonic-sect celebrity junior brother

To ease his master's worries, Yun Wanqing goes alone into a perilous secret realm to gather a priceless treasure, only to be struck by lightning and knocked down an entire cultivation realm.

In a dream, he learns that his world is a novel. As the official love interest of its beloved protagonist, he is destined to silently stay by his master's side and do anything for him. Even the priceless treasure he risked his life to obtain will be given to his master's current love interest.

When Yun Wanqing wakes, he finds his long-missing junior brother Chu Zhaoran keeping watch by his bed.

"Are you still hung up on Ji Chenning, Senior Brother?" Chu Zhaoran kisses the ends of his hair, his eyes uncontrollably turning blood-red. "If I kill him, you'll give up on him, right?"

His junior brother has fallen into the demonic path, and his inner demon is Yun Wanqing himself.

Yun Wanqing can only kiss his forehead helplessly. "Zhaoran, the disgrace of patricide is too great."

When Ji Chenning finally changes his mind, he discovers that his two disciples, who were supposed to be fighting over him, have gotten together, and one of them even loathes him.

At last, he sees who he truly loves and wants to make things right with Yun Wanqing.

But Yun Wanqing brushes his hand away and takes his junior brother's hand. "Master, I only stopped Zhaoran for the sake of his reputation. Please don't flatter yourself."

Arc Four: The Real and Fake Young Masters

Cold and thin-skinned, blushes at the slightest tease, fiance VS refined scoundrel, vicious real young master

Chu Hanshuang discovers he lives in a real-and-fake-young-master novel. The fake young master is his fiance, Wen Heng, while the real young master is Wen Ling, the son the Wen couple lost.

The plot says he will hurt Wen Heng by pitying Wen Ling and growing close to him, then have to grovel for his love.

Chu Hanshuang, who has never loved Wen Heng: "Then let's break off the engagement."

He thinks he can escape the Wen family's mess, but the real young master, Wen Ling, says, "I'm your fiance. I'm the Wen family's biological son, and I don't agree."

Chu Hanshuang storms over to demand an explanation, only to be pinned against the balcony by Wen Ling.

The man who is so refined and courteous in public pins his hands and strokes his cheek, breathing in the scent at his neck. "Shuang'er, Wen Heng is spoiled and overbearing, but I can treat you well too. Choose me, all right?"

Chu Hanshuang's cheeks turn bright red. He is furious and wants to punch him, but his legs keep going weak.

Then he remembers that Wen Ling looks a lot like the older boy who rescued him from human traffickers when he was ten.

I write according to my personal preferences. If it's not for you, please don't flame me.

In each short arc, the shou falls for him first, and the gong returns his feelings later. The gong is doted on early on, and they dote on each other later.

The groveling arc is the sacrificial shou pursuing the gong, but failing to win him back.

Every couple is mutually faithful in every arc. The author insists that the sacrificial shou doesn't deserve to lay a finger on the gong.

This is a fictional setting and has nothing to do with reality. Please don't draw parallels to real life.
