Even Immortals Want to Quit

As a melodramatic xianxia romance, Divine Tribulation routinely destroys the Heavenly Dao, burns the world in tribulation flames, and takes the Three Realms down with it, all to highlight the tragic romance between its male lead, the immortal sovereign, and its female lead. It brings the saying "Other people's love costs money, but the protagonists' love costs lives" to life.

Wen Lianyi is an ordinary, good-natured young man who grew up in a harmonious society. After finishing the whole story, all he had to say was that he felt sorry for the innocent supporting characters who got caught in the crossfire. Also, did the protagonists even ask the Heavenly Dao before wrecking the Three Realms like this?

The Heavenly Dao was deeply moved by his words. "Then come help out."

After transmigrating into the story, Wen Lianyi works diligently to stay by the protagonists' side and help their romance go smoothly, hoping to avoid the fate of being sacrificed for their love. He's so dedicated that even a famously ruthless boss would have to give him a raise.

But as time goes on, Wen Lianyi gradually realizes that the plot isn't developing quite the way the novel described...

Especially that demonic lord villain. Wasn't he supposed to be obsessed with the protagonists? Why does he keep coming to see Wen Lianyi?

[From the seme's perspective:]

He Sui Zhao has known since childhood that there's not a single decent person in the Immortal Realm.

They act superior and think highly of themselves, treating others like ants. That's not benevolence, just arrogance.

This is a world where the victor reigns supreme. Those in the game only care about winning or losing. Who would stoop to listen to an ant scream?

But how is it that... there really is a fool who cares about all living beings?

"Immortal Lord, you are so benevolent, keeping all the people of the world in your heart. Could you... spare a glance for me, too?"

P.S.:

1. Rebellious, prickly, and hypocritical heterochromia seme × even-tempered, kind-hearted uke. Younger seme, 1v1.

2. Neither in the original novel nor in reality do the female lead and the seme have any romantic entanglement. The original male and female leads are not foils for each other.

3. Ensemble cast, not a leveling story, not a wish-fulfillment story, and no face-slapping.

4. Readers who dislike saintly, self-sacrificing characters may want to steer clear.

5. Some scenes contain suspense and horror elements. Please steer clear if that's not your thing.

Coming soon: Infinite Runaways

[No CP infinite-flow story. Check the author's profile to see it!]

Jiang Qishen thinks his childhood friend might have gone crazy.

That day, she quietly asked him, "Did you know? Actually, our world is fake, and we're all NPCs."

"I have proof."

Jiang Qishen fell silent.

He knew it. The pressure of studying was bound to get to her sooner or later.

In the instances of the infinite game world, tens of millions of NPCs live their lives. A small number are assigned by the System to interact with players, give them quests and information, or create problems for them.

Most, like Jiang Qishen, serve as background characters in the game world, living out the same three-point routine day after day. Unless something unexpected happens, they'll go on repeating the same life like marionettes forever. Whatever happens in the instances has nothing to do with them.

But life always has a way of surprising you.
