I Keep Myself Alive by Digging Plots I Never Fill

Also known as "Me and My Readers Are in a Contest to See Who Lives Longer" and "No Dying Until You Finish Every Story" - Luo Qiyuan was born with yin-yang eyes and could see life and death. He had known since childhood that he wouldn't live to twenty. After spending more than a decade living it up, Luo Qiyuan became bedridden at seventeen, unable even to get out of bed. With nothing else to do, he registered as an author on every major novel site and kept digging himself into holes. He became famous with his very first story. His readers both loved and hated him. They loved his wild imagination, his melodramatic, outrageous, thrilling stories that kept them hooked. They hated him for starting stories and never finishing them. His readers cried and wailed in the comments, threatened to send him knives, and begged for updates. But Luo Qiyuan was already imagining his next life, and his conscience didn't hurt at all. He abandoned stories without a second thought. On his twentieth birthday, Luo Qiyuan made his will and peacefully waited to die. He waited until one minute before his twenty-first birthday, when the underworld's soul guide finally appeared before him. Luo Qiyuan got up without a fuss, ready to go with the soul guide. The soul guide promptly pushed him back onto the bed. One opened his computer, while the other set a keyboard down on the floor. Soul Guide A: Author, your unfinished love story between a human and a ghost hasn't updated in a week! Soul Guide B: Update now! Luo Qiyuan: ??? The soul guides, paid by the underworld to demand updates: Your appalling habit of leaving stories unfinished has enraged the residents of the underworld. We pooled our money and donated another two years of life to you. We're here to let you know: finish your stories before you come down here to be reincarnated. Luo Qiyuan: ... - There's no way I'm finishing my stories. This is the last shred of dignity a professional dodger has. Luo Qiyuan slowly worked on one story while frantically starting new ones, all the while continuing to wait for death. But two years went by, and not only was he still alive, he was also up and about and discharged from the hospital. After his life was forcibly extended several times, Luo Qiyuan realized it wasn't just humans and ghosts clamoring for updates. Demons, monsters, and gods wanted them too. Some races may not have any other advantages, but they do live a long time. Reader 1: What, the author's lifespan is running low? How many years do you need? I'll donate right away. Reader 2: Don't worry, author. With us here, you won't die before you finish your stories. Reader 3: Donated 88 years of life. Can we get an extra chapter tonight? Luo Qiyuan: ... Please, just let me die already. (:3_ヽ)_ - [Top and Bottom Mini-Scene] One day, Luo Qiyuan saw the lifespan balance sheet brought in by the soul guides on their update-demanding duty. +2, +5... +10086, +∞ Luo Qiyuan: ...I get the rest, but why is there a "+∞" here? A certain god with infinite life silently raised his hand. "I donated it." Luo Qiyuan: You want to demand updates too? The famously cold and heartless god blushed at the ears and whispered, "It's the betrothal gift." >>>>> #Set in a modern xianxia world.
