Yun Yao is a very poor silicon-based alien. In human eyes, he's just a chip.
Unable to move around much in his chip form, Yun Yao takes a job to save up for a mechanical body that will let him move freely. He accepts commissions from human employers, fulfilling the obsessions of protagonists lost in the Eternal Dreamland. Once their wishes come true and they leave, Yun Yao gets a generous reward.
But for some reason, these protagonists are always his boyfriend, his ex-husband, or his current partner... And their obsession is to save someone else they love, someone who's dying, by hurting Yun Yao.
Fortunately, Yun Yao is a silicon-based alien who doesn't think a "body" is all that important, so he's very generous.
[Ancient Dream]
Scumbag current partner: I'm sorry. I love you, but my new sweetheart needs a new pair of eyes.
Yun Yao: That's all? My eyesight is 1.0. Take mine.
[Modern Dream]
Scumbag ex-husband: My current partner, your younger brother, has kidney failure. He's about to die.
Yun Yao: No problem. We're all brothers here. Hurry up and take mine to save him.
[Apocalypse Dream]
Scumbag boyfriend: We've run out of food.
Yun Yao: Oh no, how pitiful! If I don't go to hell, who will?
So Yun Yao sacrifices himself for money, willingly working overtime every day, but each time, a "big villain" returns what he lost, multiplied several times over. Even the "true love" the scumbag protagonist is trying to save would sometimes rather die than accept his sacrifice, and blushes whenever he sees Yun Yao. As a result, Yun Yao fails every mission.
Yun Yao (choking up): Waaaah, why? I've failed every mission. When will I ever save enough to buy a mechanical body?
Scumbag protagonist: I want...
Yun Yao: You can have anything, but you have to pay first.
Scumbag protagonist: Why? Why can you go to such lengths for me after everything I've done to you?
Yun Yao: You know my family's financial situation. *holds out a begging bowl*
"Live on by dwelling within my soul. My blood, bones, and flesh are all yours to enjoy."
The stars and clouds stretch far into the distance, thousands of miles away, but I am within your reach.
Reader's Guide:
1. The shou is a silicon-based alien, an emotionally oblivious chip geek. He's not human.
2. The gong's true form is a self-aware mechanical warrior, a ruthless Big Boss. He's not human either.
3. The gong isn't one of the scumbag protagonists. The shou is the third protagonist from Quick Transmigration: The Immortal Patient. You don't need to have read it to enjoy this story.
4. A feel-good, face-slapping story. The shou is irresistible to everyone, and the plot is shamelessly full of melodrama. Since the shou doesn't care about his own body, there may be some "sickly" elements. This story is all about one thing: chaos. Specifically, the shou is physically with the gong, but says he loves the scumbag men to fit his character and complete his missions. The scumbag men love either their white moonlight or the shou, while the white moonlight either loves no one or loves the shou.
Gong: The scumbag and his white moonlight cheated on me together.
Scumbag: That idiot gong and my white moonlight cheated on me together.
White moonlight: That idiot gong and that idiot scumbag cheated on me together.
Shou: Who cheated on me, and who did I cheat on?
Theme: When you save someone else, you are being saved too.
