The Gods of Happy and Tragic Endings Want to Change the Story

Mu Qingqing is the heroine of a melodramatic coming-of-age romance that an early internet-era writing superstar abandoned halfway through. The author left it with an irresponsible open ending, abruptly stopping at the moment she reunites with her first love years after their breakup. It was neither a happy ending nor a tragic one.

The gods of happy and tragic endings, having received readers’ complaints, were itching to change the conclusion.

Unaware of all this, Mu Qingqing found that from one day onward her peaceful life had started galloping out of control

Her first love, whom she’d broken up with years ago, suddenly reappeared, realizing at last that she was his true love. She became the unforgettable girl he’d lost, the one who remained in his heart.

Her first love, who’d vanished without a trace after graduation, gazed at her with deep affection. “It’s been three years. I’ve thought about you every second.”

Mu Qingqing nodded politely. “I have a question.”

Her first love: “Go ahead.”

Mu Qingqing: “I don’t think I ever changed my phone number. Have you been living in the mountains all these years?”

Her first love: “...”

Mu Qingqing: All lies. Next.

The God of Happy Endings decided there was still a chance to salvage things: You don’t love your original first-love hero? Fine, I’ll set you up with the most romantic, handsome, wealthy man sent by fate. If one won’t do, I’ll bring you two. If two won’t do, I’ll bring you three. You’re bound to like one of them. In short, you have to choose a happy ending!

The God of Tragic Endings cried out for independence and eternal singleness: A happy ending for the romance is impossible. One yandere, two people going dark, three and it’s a split personality. In short, you have to give me a tragic ending!

Mu Qingqing thought there was something seriously wrong with the world.

She took a part-time job, and her melancholy, gentle tutoring student drew a heart using a famous mathematical love confession formula, as if hinting at something.

She went out and got falsely accused of causing an accident by a shady CEO, who demanded compensation for emotional distress over a tiny, one-centimeter scratch.

She took the subway, and the person sitting beside her was bundled up in a mask and hat, acting so furtively that they looked like a pervert. She glanced over warily a couple of times. The other person turned, lowered their mask, and revealed a face so astonishingly handsome that they looked exactly like the superstar on the billboard.

Mu Qingqing: Let me repeat, there is something seriously wrong here.

Then one day, she awakened to her own existence and discovered that the world she lived in was a book.

Mu Qingqing: WTF.

Whoever wants to be the heroine can have the job. Mu Qingqing doesn’t love anyone. She’s just going to watch these drama queens stir up trouble every day.

One-on-one romance, a fake harem setup, no choosing between love interests. The male supporting characters are there to act ridiculous and cause trouble. The male lead isn’t among the characters listed above.

An idea from May 2020, getting in line to be written. Please add it to your collection. Kisses!
