Name: The Weakness of World-Ending Bosses
Author: Zhi Yi

Synopsis

"Free Short Story Series"

Du Feili was a transmigrator. In their world, transmigrating into a book was a reality. Thanks to a powerful transmigration System, many people from their world transmigrated into novels to obtain resources.

He was an old hand at transmigrating into books, and like many other transmigrators, he naturally looked down on the worlds of novels. That was, until an accident sent him into a novel called "Crazy Flowers, Blood Moon".

In this dark and hopeless novel, even a background character could spawn a death-domain, and there were four world-ending threats.

[Threat No. 1]: A sickly boy, the source of the world’s curse. If he died, the curse-virus would spread across the entire world.

[Threat No. 2]: A cool, aloof Celestial Master, the stabilizer of the world. If he went mad, the world would crack apart and the supernatural would return.

[Threat No. 3]: A wandering living corpse, a natural virus host. Once he invaded the world, the apocalypse would begin.

[Threat No. 4]: An uncanny underground emperor, flirtatious and cold, cynical and vicious, with a particular love for destroying the world.

He barely managed to escape the novel, only to have its apocalyptic boss follow him back. The novel invaded their world, dealing it a world-ending blow.

He rewound time countless times, failed countless times, and watched the world end countless times. At last, he broke down and reported everything. Together with the Transmigration Bureau, he faced the greatest crisis their world had encountered in a century.

Under the tense gaze of the entire Transmigration Bureau, this time he and the other transmigrators entered the novel to investigate carefully, only to discover:

A short-legged cat had appeared beside the sickly boy. All he thought about was how to feed his little cat meat, and he worked hard to live for its sake.

The cool, aloof Celestial Master had suddenly acquired a foolish younger brother. He couldn’t hide the way the corners of his mouth lifted around him, and his heart melted every day.

The wandering living corpse had inexplicably become a fan, his eyes full of that beautiful celebrity. He had no interest whatsoever in the rest of the world.

The flirtatious underground ghost king had somehow acquired a son. The ghost king was drowning his sorrows in liquor over how to raise his unruly boy, deciding to let him finish school before talking about destroying the world.

“?”

Du Feili’s diary of saving the world:

[Later, we discovered that the weak point of all four apocalyptic bosses was one and the same being. It was neither a cat nor a human, but an indescribable existence: dark, spoiled, twisted, beautiful, and full of malice, yet feeding on love and willing to do anything to obtain it.]

[The way to save the world seems to be becoming clear.]

This is a story about a novel.

Reading guide:

1. Not a typical everyone-spoils-the-bottom story. The bottom isn’t simply a little ray of sunshine; he’s a bit of a flirt who loves to tease and deceive.

3. Updated daily at midnight.

Upcoming novel: "The Disliked Protagonist Starts Going Mad"

Tao Yi had recently begun to feel like a neglected consort confined to the cold palace.

For one inexplicable reason after another, he had missed many important court affairs and become a marginal figure.

Once, he had stood at the heart of the Great Sheng court and was the best candidate for crown prince in the eyes of every official.

Why had things turned out this way? In the neglect and desolation, Tao Yi had a vague feeling that he was running out of time, his life rapidly slipping away.

For a while, he often had strange dreams. In them, he discovered that he was living inside an unfinished comic. He had originally been the protagonist, but one after another, supporting characters who were yandere, geniuses, or schemers gradually surpassed him in popularity.

Who would ascend the throne depended not on talent or ability, but on the popularity and appeal of the princes and other supporting characters. It was all reflected in the Prince Popularity Rankings.

His “hard work” was rejected, and his lively enthusiasm had gone out of fashion, so he had never once made the top five in the Prince Popularity Rankings. Even a prime minister ranked above him.

Even his childhood friend, a God of War general known for loyalty to the throne and love of country, failed to stand out among all the “lunatics.” Though he was said to command an army and fight on the battlefield, he had actually been sidelined and hadn’t returned to the capital in years.

Tao Yi: Fine, fine, fine.

The next day, at the royal Mid-Autumn Banquet, Tao Yi, who had forgotten he was invited, burst in and pressed a knife to his own neck.

The genius, the yandere, and the smiling schemer: “?”

He’s gone mad.

When the third prince went mad, no one could talk him down or hold him back.

In a desperate rush, everyone went to find his childhood friend, Marquis Ji Heng, who had already quietly fought his way into the enemy capital.

Tao Yi told his friend the truth: “Are you going to stop me too?”

Ji Heng: “No. I’ll go mad with you.”

Tao Yi: “What should we do?”

Ji Heng: “Ship ourselves.”

Tao Yi: “What?”

Ji Heng: “Marry me.”
