Story blurb:
[Planning to write this as my next-next novel]
[You are an actor who suffers from severe skin hunger.]
[You must touch other people's skin to relieve the pain.]
Xi Wei'an is a famous actor, but his illness gets in the way of his performances.
To pursue his acting career, he binds himself to a Cannon Fodder System and plays cannon fodder in every quick transmigration world.
An obscure cannon fodder ought to be an inconspicuous part of the background, and Xi Wei'an had indeed succeeded.
Until--
His condition was discovered.
World One: "The Priest and the Snake"
A young priest finds a black snake in winter. At night, the snake transforms into a human and sleeps beside the priest.
The snake coils the priest in its arms, pressing its skin against the priest's, waiting for the burning heat on his body to fade.
Looking at the priest in his arms, his skin flushed crimson, the black snake flicks its tongue and leaves a ring of wet marks on the priest's body, claiming him.
--Xi Wei'an is mine.
World Two: "The Researcher and the Cocoon"
A researcher heading into an uninhabited forest for fieldwork accidentally gets separated from his team and stumbles into a forest of enormous, unfamiliar cocoons.
His illness flares up, and with no one in the forest able to cure him, he has no choice but to turn his attention to the huge insect cocoon...
At last, the researcher is rescued and leaves the forest.
The giant cocoon hatches, and out steps a humanoid monster with exquisite features, antennae, and delicate wings.
He looks up at the helicopter and spreads his delicate wings.
--My female insect cannot leave.
World Three: "The Florist and the Vines"
A florist has an unknown sapling growing at home. Whenever he touches its trunk, the sapling secretes sap and fragrance.
Only the fresh scent of the sap can give the florist, whose illness leaves him tossing and turning all night, a brief reprieve.
So he uses the sap to make soap and scented candles, using them every night.
But he doesn't know that while he sleeps, his little sapling grows into a large tree, carefully extends its vines, coats them with its sap, and gently caresses his body.
--Good night, Mother Tree.
