Qin Chenzui transmigrates into a melodramatic galactic novel with a crematorium-style ending, where he plays the cannon-fodder gong.
In the original story, the scummy gong uses his family's power to bully and abuse the gifted but poor Omega protagonist at school, tormenting him physically and emotionally, ruining his future and causing his family members to die. Later, the protagonist fakes his death and returns, reclaimed by a wealthy family. After the male lead goes through a long redemption arc, they get a happy ending.
The original character is the scummy gong's hanger-on, helping him do evil.
System: The male lead's redemption arc wasn't painful enough, and readers were furious. So you need to make up for it by joining in the abuse of the protagonist, then getting sent to the crematorium to be burned.
Qin Chenzui: Didn't you say the male lead's redemption arc wasn't painful enough? What does that have to do with cannon fodder?
System: Well... this is a romance novel, and it still needs a happy ending.
Qin Chenzui smiles. "Fine. So all I have to do is torment the protagonist and then get sent to the crematorium, right? Got it."
So Qin Chenzui watches coldly as the scummy gong bullies the protagonist for the first time.
Then he knocks the scummy gong out with a stick.
Qin Chenzui drapes a coat over Shi Moqing and whispers in his ear, "Want to trample him under your feet?"
Then he puts the stick in Shi Moqing's hand and frames him for the assault.
Shi Moqing: ???!
Framed by Qin Chenzui, Shi Moqing has no choice but to study, earn money, and use his wits to fight the scummy Alpha. On top of that, Qin Chenzui keeps forcing him to eat two extra bowls of food and dragging him to the training grounds.
At last, the mission progresses smoothly into its later stages, but something seems off.
System: Wait, wasn't the protagonist supposed to be trapped in a tortured romance with the male lead until the final chapter? Why has he taken over the male lead's family? And why is he locking you up?
Qin Chenzui: Isn't being powerful and influential satisfying enough? After I framed him, he retaliated by tormenting me day and night. Isn't that enough of a crematorium arc?
System: Huh? You mean proper torment?
Shi Moqing knows Qin Chenzui will never bend down for him. He can only stand up on his own.
