Playing a Cannon Fodder NPC in Tragic Romance Novels [Quick Transmigration]

There are countless web novels, and half of them are melodramatic angst fests.

These stories often put their protagonists through hell and back, leaving readers complaining while also drawing them in so deeply they can't tear themselves away.

As cannon-fodder NPCs in these melodramatic stories, they're there to hurt or help the protagonists, or to do nothing as mere background characters. Their only purpose is to move the plot along and bring about the prescribed ending.

“Isn't that what melodramatic stories are all about? Give someone a little sunshine so they can bask in it, then strip it away and take everything from them. Smash the mirror and piece it back together, keeping the story somewhere between plausible and absurd for everyone to see.”, An unknown author.

Faced with this, a few unlucky people handed NPC scripts all wore bewildered expressions:

“What are you talking about?”

“Do I really have to do all this stupid stuff just to get these two together?”

“Do they even need to end up together?”

They may have been appalled, but if they wanted to stay alive, they still had to do as they were told.

But for some reason, was there a bug in the world's plot? Why were the protagonists looking at them more and more strangely...

One unlucky guy was pinned beneath the seme protagonist of a melodramatic story. The man's forceful movements were charged with tension as he demanded, “Why don't you want me?”

His eyes fixed on him, wild and gloomy. “Do you hate me?”

But...

Unlucky guy: The uke protagonist is watching from the side. Are you sure you want to do this?

Seme × uke

[Cannon-fodder NPC, the child of a household servant × a spoiled, carefree young master from a wealthy family]

[An obscure cannon-fodder disciple NPC × a cultivation master who was stabbed through the heart with a sword]
