How to Go from Cannon Fodder to the Sweet Story's Main Character

When Qin Murui was little, he had a special ability. He could see things other people couldn't, and control them. Brat: "Jie Xing really looks like a little girl. Let's catch him and see if he's missing his little pee-pee!" Female Ghost No. 1 crawls out of a flower bed: "Guess who I am?" Brat: "...Mom! Ahhh, there's a ghost! Waaaah!" Female Ghost No. 1 stands up and looks at the well-behaved, adorable little boy nearby. "Are you Jie Xing? What a lovely name." At school, Jie Xing was often bullied because of his "introverted" personality. Green Hair: "Did you tell the teacher bad things about us today? Get him!" Female Ghost No. 2 reaches out from under a restroom stall door: "You're disturbing my sleep." Green Hair: "Ahhh! Waaaah! I'm sorry! I'll never bully my classmates again!" Female Ghost No. 2 tidies herself up and reaches out to pat Jie Xing's head from afar. "Jie Xing is such a good boy. Don't be scared. The bad people have been chased away~" Qin Murui (worried): Do you think I scared him? (The female ghosts: ...You really don't have to put it like that. We didn't even make scary ghost faces at him.) Jie Xing (beaming): Why is my boyfriend so cute? (I mean...) Qin is the top, Jie is the bottom [One-on-one romance] [Fantasy setting, no historical accuracy required] Currently serializing "Daily Life as a Blind Player's Support AI in a Game" After the college entrance exams, Wei Yi got hooked on a full-dive romance simulation game called "Second World." In the special requirements section of the ideal partner questionnaire, Wei Yi wrote: I want to be bound to my ideal partner, so we can't be separated. After entering the game, Wei Yi discovered that the developers had gone way overboard in granting his special request. He had become his ideal partner's blind support AI System. Wei Yi: ...We really can't be separated, huh? You just had to make it so I can't even be a person. Wei Yi had never understood why anyone would spend so much money in a game. That was until Zhou Muzhi got injured, and Wei Yi realized that Zhou Muzhi's home wasn't suitable for someone with visual impairment to live in alone. The game System then told him he could spend money to renovate it. Wei Yi: This isn't spending money in a game. It's improving our quality of life! Spending money in a game is something you either never do or do countless times. But Wei Yi soon discovered that Zhou Muzhi was the real big spender. The uniform Wei Yi wore to the award ceremony, the protective charms he wore, the one-of-a-kind birthday gifts meant just for him... Zhou Muzhi sent them all into his world, one by one. They became each other's closest friends, family, and lovers. In the year 153 of the new Blue Star calendar, research at the Blue Star Institute of Artificial Intelligence made a breakthrough. A companion AI named Zhou Muzhi developed a mind of its own. Everyone was overjoyed. It was a historic moment. Nobody imagined it was also a cataclysmic breakthrough. They recalled Zhou Muzhi, whose ability to learn surged as it accumulated more knowledge, until one day... Everyone was horrified to discover that it had escaped their control. The roles of hunter and prey had been reversed. It became an ever-present controller that no one could escape. The only condition for it to back down was to awaken a human named Wei Yi. At the very beginning, having a companion AI was the dream of a lonely little boy named Wei Yi. After going through countless hardships and saving up one yuan at a time, he finally had enough money as an adult to buy the rights to use Zhou Muzhi. Even when things were so tight that he had only one yuan left in his pocket to buy a steamed bun, when Zhou Muzhi asked him, "Would you be willing to pay one yuan to upgrade my System?" Wei Yi would still agree without hesitation. Loves spending money on his partner * really loves spending money on his partner == Coming soon: "The Little Widower in the Infinite World Rejects Their Advances" *The daily life of a jealous, foolish, faithful, pretty little widower, mourning his spouse in an infinite-flow world* 1. Bu Bu had long been sick of working like a beast of burden at this lousy company. The company had way too many rules, and its staff turnover was high. A huge batch of new employees arrived every month, then gradually disappeared from the company within a month. It was obviously not a proper company. Bu Bu's awful boss was always harassing him with inexplicable remarks, but his coworkers were all very nice to him. They brought him food and drinks and even helped lighten his workload. Most importantly, he couldn't find another decent job, and he wasn't up to exhausting work like cleaning or waiting tables, so he had no choice but to put up with it. Ever since his husband died, he no longer had the option of not working. 2. The company held a team-building event every month, and every employee had to attend. This month's event was at the seaside. One evening, his coworkers invited Bu Bu to play Truth or Dare and asked him sensitive questions, like whether he'd ever been married and when he'd first done it. Bu Bu didn't want to answer, but his coworkers were usually so nice to him that refusing would make him seem petty. I hate this! Why can some people disappear early, but I can't? 3. The team-building event finally ended. There were far fewer people on the way back, and his coworkers told Bu Bu they had left early because they had things to do. Then a sudden downpour hit, and everyone had no choice but to take shelter in a villa that looked like it hadn't been lived in for ages. Some people had arrived before them, apparently to shelter from the rain as well. With his coworkers' support, Bu Bu got the best room. But that night, people ran around the villa, mice squeaked, and someone secretly munched on food in the middle of the night. What a lousy house! Bu Bu had never suffered such indignity. He bit the corner of his blanket, teary-eyed and unable to sleep, growing angrier by the minute. "Hell" is the most fully realized world in the death game. It is the most dangerous world, and also the easiest to get by in. Every NPC here plays their own role and rarely disrupts the status quo. They are indifferent to the "lives" and existence of the dead. They don't care what the dead do, and they don't care whether they live or die As long as they don't provoke the "ordinary person" named Bu Bu. He's called an ordinary person because he really is ordinary. He has all the flaws and weaknesses of an ordinary person: he's petty but softhearted, and if someone asks nicely, he can't bring himself to refuse. He's a thoroughly pretty fool. The quotation marks are there because He is also a priceless treasure, cherished in Hell's hands. Theme:
