Male Protagonist is Delicate and Helpless after Breaking Off the Engagement

Xie Ting'an is informed by the System that the world he lives in is made up of two novels.

The first is a groveling-after-the-wife story. Its male lead is Xie Ting'an's sworn enemy, and its female lead is the older girl next door who grew up with Xie Ting'an.

The second is a harem story about breaking off an engagement. Its male lead is the only son of Xie Ting'an's enemy and the girl next door, and he has so many female leads one after another that Xie Ting'an can't count them all on both hands.

As for Xie Ting'an himself, he's the vicious antagonist who appears throughout both books. In the first half of his life, he interferes with the leads' destined romance; in the second half, he keeps fighting their son. In the end, his family is ruined, and he gets hit and killed by a car.

Xie Ting'an: ...So the villain's the only one they can keep wringing dry?!

The story has reached the end of the first novel and just past the beginning of the second. Xie Ting'an looks at his sworn enemy's son, who has just come of age. Cool and upright, with no one in his eyes, the young man already has the makings of a male lead.

But the current plot point is that his parents have gone missing, he's accidentally become blind, and his engagement has been broken off. Watching the male lead clutch his suit pants and rasp, "Uncle," Xie Ting'an thinks he might still be salvageable. So he goes against the book and takes him in, planning to use this time to train him into a good male lead who stays faithful in love and doesn't go around doing evil.

After nearly a year, the training has paid off splendidly. The male lead has become impeccably obedient. On the night before his parents return and take him away, Xie Ting'an even has a fair bit to drink in celebration.

The next morning, Xie Ting'an wakes up to find himself in the same bed as the male lead. His waist and legs ache, and the marks on his body are shockingly numerous.

The blind male lead sits innocently beside him, asking over and over:

"A-Ting, you'll take responsibility for me, right?"

"A-Ting, you taught me to be faithful in love. When are we going public?"

"A-Ting, woof woof woof~"

Don't miss Mao Tao's romantic fantasy, This Game Is Seriously So Much Fun!

Wen Liu's family went missing in an accident, and the search turned up nothing.

Wen Liu spent half a year in a daze. Then, while barely making ends meet by selling secondhand goods, he somehow applied to become a recycling agent and was prompted to open a little game he'd previously downloaded on his phone.

A character in the game wore beggar's clothes and looked just like Wen Liu's father. He weakly tapped on the screen.

"Kid, if you don't get here soon, your dad's going to starve to death..."

After a chaotic exchange, Wen Liu learned that his father had transmigrated into the scavenging game on his phone half a year earlier. He'd been living off garbage ever since, and after waiting and waiting, he'd finally seen Wen Liu log in.

Thinking of his other missing family members, Wen Liu stared at the games on his phone and tremblingly opened them one by one.

His mother was anxiously working as a cafeteria auntie in a horror game, while students with missing body parts demanded to know why her hands were always shaking.

His younger sister had been accused of an affair in an imperial harem game and was counting floor tiles in the Cold Palace.

His older brother was struggling to survive in an apocalypse game. When he tried to grow mutant peas, his companions turned them into a plate of bean sprouts.

Dad & Mom & Sis & Bro: Please, kid, play something nice from now on!

Wen Liu joined the game as a recycling agent, finally got his family above the starvation line, and found a way to bring them back. He also earned a promotion, and the company's promotion perk was an 18+ game with several characters for Wen Liu to choose from.

Wen Liu: With no man in my heart, work will naturally...

The five game characters casually showed off their abs.

Wen Liu: What a great perk, mwah :)
