While working part-time on a horror movie set, Cheng Miaojin accidentally got hit on the head. Ever since, he could see strange words floating above people.
The horror movie's male lead apologized to him, and a blurb appeared over his head: "[Supernatural Fiction] Protagonist, about to get himself a gloomy, clingy ghost husband."
Cheng Miaojin stared in confusion. "...W-what the hell?"
At first, Cheng Miaojin thought he was still recovering from a concussion, but then
The male coworker he made milk tea with: "[MPreg Fiction] Protagonist, currently on the run while pregnant."
The friend he ran a lunch-box stall with: "[Food Fiction] Protagonist, at the beginner stage of becoming a God of Cooking."
The gaming buddy he queued up with: "[Esports Fiction] Protagonist, at the lowest point in life."
Cheng Miaojin: .
No, seriously, does this make any sense?
So everyone's a protagonist, and I'm the only random nobody, huh :)
Even if he was just a nobody, Cheng Miaojin was surprisingly laid-back. Thanks to the blurbs that kept updating, he could help the protagonists work through their everyday problems.
.
The male lead of the supernatural novel was worried his ghost husband had a twisted moral compass.
Cheng Miaojin suggested, "Why not try giving him some Chinese medicine to balance things out?"
And just like that, the gloomy ghost straightened right up.
His coworker from the MPreg novel thought he had a terminal illness.
Cheng Miaojin explained, "If you have these symptoms, there's a good chance you're pregnant!"
The next day, his coworker secretly went out to buy a pregnancy test.
His friend from the food novel had hit a wall with his cooking.
Cheng Miaojin murmured, "I just read your fortune, and your noble benefactor is nearby!"
Sure enough, his friend turned a corner and ran into a mysterious gourmet.
His gaming buddy from the esports novel was having second thoughts before a match.
Cheng Miaojin roared, "I bet big on you winning! You dare to drop out? I'll kill you!"
In the end, his buddy swept the field 3:0.
As one predicament after another was resolved, the protagonists all privately decided Cheng Miaojin could see the future!
He practically knew everything!
Cheng Miaojin: ...It's hard to explain.
It's all thanks to the spoilers over your heads. I'm really not clairvoyant.
.
Just when Cheng Miaojin thought nothing could be more "exciting" than these protagonists' everyday lives,
a string of blurbs appeared over his new boss, Zhong Shi:
"He's an Infinite Flow powerhouse, an urban legend explorer, a business tycoon, an heir in an over-the-top wealthy-family drama. He's beautiful, strong, and tragic; he's a savior, a legend of the century, and..."
Cheng Miaojin: .
Guys, does anyone get it?
Did my new boss buy his protagonist titles wholesale from Yiwu?
Cheng Miaojin was thoroughly shaken, but he couldn't stop himself from reading the spoilers that followed.
Then his expression froze
"...He's the God of Comebacks, and the lifelong partner of Cheng Miaojin, the Awakened One."
Cheng Miaojin: Awakened what?
Cheng Miaojin: No, wait!
So I'm the one who's gay?!
