After Cheng Zhou was dumped by the boyfriend he'd been dating for half a year, he holed up at home and cried miserably for a week.

When his friend found out, they forcibly brought him a husky, hoping it would cheer him up after the breakup.

But Cheng Zhou wasn't in the mood to look after a dog. He forgot all about it and spent two days shut in his bedroom, wallowing in misery. When he finally came out, he saw that the floor was almost torn to shreds. The husky huddled in a corner, glaring at him with bloodshot eyes.

Cheng Zhou sheepishly apologized. As he poured out the dog food, he heard a cold, contemptuous voice behind him: "I've never seen such a stupid, pathetic owner. You make yourself a wreck over some scumbag."

Cheng Zhou: "?"

He turned around and met the husky's disdainful gaze. Then he heard it say, "What are you looking at? Don't like being called a stupid, pathetic idiot? You're crying over a scumbag who was cheating on you ages ago. You're worse than an idiot."

Cheng Zhou: "???"

Later, Cheng Zhou discovered that his dog seemed to have superpowers. Apart from not being able to talk, it knew everything about the world.

[The love interest isn't a dog. This is a short story with no brains or logic, and I'll probably let my imagination run wild while writing it. _(:з"∠)_ If you don't like it, please stop reading right away. Thanks for your support.]

Next up: The Tragic Fiction Protagonist Rescue System. Blurb:

The protagonists of tragic novels endure all kinds of senseless, illogical torment, and one after another they begin to turn evil.

Cheng Si is bound to the Tragic Fiction Protagonist Rescue System and transported into tragic novels as a passerby. His mission is to appear at iconic scenes and bring warmth to the protagonists, keeping their corruption value at 0 until all the iconic scenes are over and their redemption is complete.

Cheng Si obediently follows the instructions, bringing warmth and kindness wherever he goes... Then he discovers that both the plot and the protagonists are starting to get inexplicably strange.

The scumbag love interest cheats with three side lovers. The tragic novel's protagonist is despised and dumped by him, then stands in the rain in agony late at night.

Cheng Si arrives just in time, shares his umbrella as they walk home, and helps dry his hair. But when he hands over some clothes, the protagonist grabs his wrist and pulls him into his arms.

Meeting the protagonist's eyes, full of restrained obsession, Cheng Si's mind goes blank. "?"

Wait... Something's not right!

After the real young master returns home, everyone picks on him and lets him down. Only after he dies and is reborn does he stop caring about them, turn his career around, and rise to the top. By then, everyone regrets what they did.

Cheng Si arrives before the real young master is reborn. While everyone cares only about the fake young master and ignores him, Cheng Si gently strokes his head. "Don't be afraid. Even if no one else loves you, I do."

The protagonist stares at him, gently rubbing his wrist as he smiles. "Really? You promised you would love me forever, big brother. You can't take it back."

In a xianxia novel, the favored junior disciple enjoys everyone's affection and acclaim, steals everything from the protagonist, and even leaves him blind and has his heart torn out before he dies.

Cheng Si arrives at the first iconic scene after the protagonist has gone blind, where people mock him. He stands straight in front of him. "From today on, I'll be your eyes, junior brother."

Cheng Si, later kissed by his junior brother: "??"

I said I'd be your eyes, not your Dao companion!

In a tragic novel about the dead, the protagonist is tormented in body and heart before he dies. Only after his death does the love interest grow a brain and open his eyes, regretting everything and weeping bitterly.

Cheng Si arrives before the protagonist dies and takes meticulous care of him, nursing his broken body back to health. The protagonist doesn't disappoint him and keeps his corruption value at 0 the whole time.

Cheng Si is ready to leave, but just before he can go, the protagonist pins him in a corner.

The protagonist, shrouded in shadow, has a dark, inscrutable gaze and a dangerous tone. "You promised to stay with me for life. Where do you think you're going?"

Cheng Si, with nowhere to run: "???"

Why are these tragic novel protagonists getting stranger and stranger?!
