Someone Always Wants to Make Me a Widower [Infinite Flow]

[The entire novel is undergoing major revisions. Chapters marked (Revised) are the updated versions. I'll continue writing once I revise up to the latest chapter! There may be continuity issues between revised chapters and chapters not yet marked (Revised). Everything will be fine once the whole novel has been revised.] One day, Jiayu suddenly discovered that the world he lived in was just a novel. The Abyss was an infinite horror novel, with a brisk plot and ingenious setup. The protagonist and his companions... None of that mattered. Because Jiayu wasn't the protagonist of this novel. He wasn't even a supporting character. He was just an NPC in one of its instances. His daily task was to help players who followed the clues to find him kill the level boss. The boss, Meng Qichi, was the very embodiment of beautiful, powerful, and tragic. He was handsome and strong, yet because the plot demanded it, Jiayu and the players killed him every time. Oh, and in this instance, Meng Qichi was Jiayu's lover. Meng Qichi was gentle and considerate, devoted to Jiayu. Aside from being a little too controlling, he was practically perfect. Jiayu thought, "Why do I have to kill him? He's so handsome, and he loves me so much." So Jiayu, having awakened to his own consciousness, diligently set about changing the plot and saving the boss. As a result, the players struggled through countless hardships to finally find the main quest NPC, only to be on the verge of clearing the instance when the NPC turned against them in the middle of the boss fight, getting a whole lot of players killed. * Meng Qichi had long since lost count of how many times he had died. This world was too cruel to him. Everyone whose name he knew wanted to kill him. It was as if they had all tacitly agreed to take his life. Having given up on fighting back long ago, Meng Qichi watched everything with cold eyes, quietly waiting for death to come once again... But this time seemed different from all the others. Before he could drown in the abyss, Jiayu suddenly took his hand and stood firmly by his side. Theme: My fate is mine to decide.
