When the scumbag gong was weeping with regret, the grass on Zhong Ye's grave was already two meters tall. ^_^
Zhong Ye was never appreciated while he was alive, and even in death he was treated like a piece of trash.
But after he died, he became a legend.
Zhong Ye was a perfect sacrificial character.
Whether he was a tool at someone's beck and call, a believer who offered everything, body and soul, or a willing stand-in puppet, he accepted every kind of physical and emotional torment without complaint.
Whether covered in wounds or left all alone.
His bloodstained hands swept a paintbrush across the canvas / blood coughed up onto the pages of a book / a lonely, lingering melody beneath the moonlight...
He even died with a blissful smile.
N years after Zhong Ye's death, his surviving works became famous throughout the world. The scumbag gongs also stood before his grave, its reeds swaying in the wind, and fell into a long silence:
For some reason, they kept remembering his face, night after sleepless night.
[World 1] Painter: Brilliant flowers bloom, then wither and fall. In the gallery, the scumbag gong stands before his painting every day, gazing at it for a long time.
[World 2] Poet: A sincere heart, dead from heart disease. After getting drunk, the scumbag gong raises his cup to the moon in a frenzy and recites his poems.
[World 3] Pianist: The bright moon no longer rises. A familiar melody rings out on the street. The scumbag gong abruptly turns around, but can never see his old friend's face again.
[World 4] Actor: A radiant smile preserved forever on film. In the screening room, the scumbag gong watches the smiling eyes in the recording over and over.
...More to come when I think of them.
* Every world's ending is a BE: the male lead dies a tragic, beautiful death, and ultimately shines on his own.
* The male lead is an unstable, unhinged character, and may seem like he's broken. ^_^
* If it's not your thing, don't come in. If you like it, come on in!
* This is web fiction. Please don't treat it as reality.
