The Victim in This Angsty Dog-Blood Novel Has Had Enough

(This is badly written. I don't recommend reading it.

1.

Yu Shu is humble and deeply devoted. He pursued his idol for seven whole years, all for the chance that the other man might look back at him once.

When his wish finally came true, it brought not a dream come true, but an endless abyss of suffering: Huo Xubei was fickle and cold. Yu Shu walked on eggshells every day, yet couldn't bear to let go.

He was hurt again and again, but forgave the other man every time.

All because...

Yu Shu was living in a melodramatic scum-and-doormat novel, and had the misfortune of being the love-struck protagonist shou who was destined to suffer for a full four hundred pages.

As he lay dying, Yu Shu finally learned the truth. He read through the upcoming elopement plot, domestic abuse plot, miscarriage plot, kidnapping and amnesia plot... and uttered the first curse of his life.

Damn it!

So this was supposed to be an angst novel where only I get tortured, huh?

How did I put up with this humiliating crap before?

Furious, Yu Shu rushed straight for the plotline where the gong gets tortured, only to find one sentence:

“Huo Xubei spent the whole night standing in the rain outside Yu Shu's home. Yu Shu finally let go of his resentment: He still loves me.”

Cherish your life. Stay away from scum gongs.

A plot this messed up still wants a happy ending? Dream on.

2.

Everyone knew Yu Shu loved Huo Xubei so much that he'd lost himself. He prepared all three meals by hand and revolved around Huo Xubei every day, meek and obedient to the point of being dull.

But everyone also knew Huo Xubei didn't love Yu Shu. His heart belonged entirely to his childhood sweetheart of ten years.

That day was the wedding of the Huo family's eldest son.

All of Jincheng was waiting to see Yu Shu make a fool of himself: the moment Huo Xubei's childhood sweetheart showed up, Huo Xubei would surely abandon everything and call off the wedding.

And that's exactly what happened.

People watched Yu Shu's ring fall to the floor. They watched him plead in despair... then, amid the chaos, saw him quickly wipe away his tears and finally reveal a rather strange smile.

“Everyone, there's no need to panic. The wedding will go on as planned.”

Then, looking at a handsome man who walked through the door, he said, “Honey, you're late.”

The entire room fell silent, including Huo Xubei and his childhood sweetheart, who hadn't yet left the church.

#If you're going to chase excitement, you might as well see it through to the end#

Important notes:

1. The love interest changes. The love interest changes. The love interest changes.

2. Silly and illogical.

3. The original blurb was an ABO story. I couldn't write it and didn't want to leave it unfinished, so I changed it to this. If that bothers you, feel free to remove it from your favorites. It'll start serializing in the second half of the year.

Modern wuxia danmei, Young Master and Young Hero, seeking advance favorites. Blurb:

[1]

Xi Pian, eldest young master of the Xi Group.

He'd lived in luxury for twenty-four years, until a phone call changed his life.

The lawyer informed him of two things:

1. His father had died of a heart attack.

2. In Chairman Xi's will, he'd left the entire Xi Group, worth tens of billions, to Xi Pian's younger sister, while passing the title of “Martial Arts Alliance Leader” to him.

Three days later, the newly appointed “Martial Arts Alliance Leader,” Xi Pian, was thrown out with nothing but a martial arts manual worth eighteen yuan, and a deep suspicion that he'd lost his mind.

The book's title page read: “My son Xi Pian, if you wish to live, you must practice this art. It is priceless. Burn it after reading.”

Xi Pian: ...?

Am I insane, or was my dad?

[2]

After reading the book ten times, he had no choice but to accept reality: wuxia novels were all lies. In modern society, begging was more useful than practicing martial arts.

When it rains, it pours.

The young master Xi Pian got fired three times in a week of temp work and nearly got hit by cars four times.

On the eighth day, a group of men cornered Xi Pian in an alley.

Xi Pian showed them pockets cleaner than his face and explained, “Bro, you've got the wrong guy. I'm broke.”

The scar-faced leader sneered. “We've got the right guy. You're the one we're killing, Alliance Leader Xi.”

Xi Pian: Huh?

Just as it looked like his time was up, a long-haired man arrived with a sword and heroically saved the beauty. With a few swift strikes, the ground was littered with bodies.

The next second, the young hero wrapped an arm around Xi Pian's waist and leaped three meters into the air.

Staring at the handsome face right in front of him, Xi Pian thought: Wuxia dramas really don't lie to me.

So what if I'm crazy?

Theme: Fight against an unjust fate.
