The protagonists of tragic novels endure all kinds of absurd, illogical torment, and one by one, they begin to turn dark.
Cheng Si is bound to a Tragic Novel Redemption System and sent into tragic novels as an incidental character. His mission is to appear in famous scenes and bring warmth to the protagonist, keeping the protagonist's corruption level at 0 until all the famous scenes are over, thereby completing the redemption.
Cheng Si dutifully follows the instructions, bringing warmth and showing kindness in all sorts of ways... Then he realizes that both the plot and the protagonists are starting to become inexplicably strange.
A scumbag boyfriend cheats with three lovers. The tragic novel's protagonist is rejected by him and told they should break up, then suffers in the rain late at night.
Cheng Si arrives in time, shares his umbrella as they walk home, and helps dry the protagonist's hair. But when Cheng Si hands him some clothes, the protagonist grabs his wrist and pulls him into his arms.
Meeting the protagonist's restrained, obsessive gaze, Cheng Si's mind goes blank. "?"
...Something is wrong!
After the real young master returns home, everyone targets and betrays him. Only after he dies and is reborn does he stop caring about them, turn his career around, and reach the peak of success. Then everyone regrets what they did.
Cheng Si arrives just as the real young master has been 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 nobody else loves you, I do."
The protagonist stares at him, gently rubbing his wrist as he smiles. "Really? You promised to love me, Big Brother. You can never take it back."
In a xianxia novel, the lucky junior brother enjoys everyone's favor and fame, steals everything from the protagonist, and even leaves him blind and has his heart carved out, killing him.
Cheng Si arrives at the first famous scene after the protagonist is blinded, where people mock him. Standing straight in front of him, Cheng Si says, "From today on, I'll be Little Junior Brother's eyes. No one is allowed to bully him."
Later, Cheng Si is kissed by Little Junior Brother. "??"
I said I'd be your eyes, not your cultivation partner! QAQ
In a story about a protagonist who dies, he is tormented in body and heart before his death. After he dies, the love interest finally grows a brain and opens his eyes, then weeps bitterly with regret.
Cheng Si arrives before the protagonist dies and takes meticulous care of him, nursing his broken body back to health. The protagonist does not disappoint, keeping his corruption level at 0 the whole time.
Cheng Si prepares to leave, but on the eve of his departure, the protagonist suddenly pins him in a corner.
Hidden in the shadows, the protagonist's gaze is dark and unfathomable, his tone dangerous. "You promised to stay with me for the rest of my life. Where do you think you're going?"
With nowhere to run, Cheng Si: "???"
Why are these tragic novel protagonists getting stranger and stranger!!!
