[Refined scum seme x mad, beautiful, strong, tragic uke]
Wen Shao is a shameless novelist who follows trends when writing BL. Whatever trope is hot, he stuffs into his stories. His home is never short of hate mail, and he doesn't care what people say online.
He wrote a sugary romance about the main couple falling in love while protecting world peace, working together to kill the childhood-friend second male lead and villain, Pei Songzhou, and living happily ever after.
The very first day after it was completed, readers dragged it onto the trending charts.
Thousands of readers wrote blood oaths demanding he give Pei Songzhou a happy ending. It was too tragic! Zhouzhou just wanted a home!
Wen Shao typed furiously, expressionless, and fired back from his main account: "How was that tragic? The villain did so many awful things. He got exactly what he deserved."
"No! Change it!"
The reason was simple: Pei Songzhou was based on his real-life nemesis, so Wen Shao had made his suffering as merciless and bottomless as possible.
A tragic past, a grave illness, no one to care for him. Coughing blood, getting injured, and fainting were an everyday occurrence. He longed for the childhood-friend heroine but couldn't have him. His best friend, the main couple's seme, suspected him and turned against him... He eventually turned evil, using ruthless methods to take revenge on everyone indiscriminately, and was ultimately defeated by the forces of righteousness.
Wen Shao was very pleased.
That night, he died suddenly.
When he opened his eyes, he had become a bit-part doctor who wouldn't survive past the first chapter.
He was calm. It was a sweet romance, after all. He'd ship the couple, enjoy the show, and help them get together when he could. Maybe when they got married in the finale, he'd even be their best man.
Until a guy calling himself the System appeared: [They got a bad ending.]
[The villain Pei Songzhou's corruption level became too high. He developed self-awareness and broke free of the author's written framework. In front of the heroine, he killed the hero. One died, the other went mad, and the small world collapsed.]
[You must change Pei Songzhou's ending.]
"No! I won't change it, even if it kills me!"
...And then he died.
Kicked to death by a certain someone.
The next second, he came back to life.
He saw the incoming punch coming and dodged it with ease. Then, expertly pinching the newcomer's slender waist, he took advantage of their moment of weakness to pin them against the wall. He met that brazen, wicked face he'd missed for so long, paused, then smiled in a way that was hard to read.
"Give me a sweet little moan, and I'll..."
"I'll kick your ass!" The furious beauty aimed a kick at the man's crotch.
Wen Shao suddenly laughed.
Maybe changing the ending wouldn't be so bad...
Later, readers waiting for the new ending kept pestering the shameless author: "Did you fix Zhouzhou's ending yet?"
Wen Shao raised a brow and painted another red plum blossom on the snow-white skin of the person in his arms. They let out a hoarse little moan, instinctively trying to squirm away, only to be pulled back.
"Zhouzhou, call me hubby one more time, and I'll go easy on you..."
Readers saw page after page of censored text in the new version's second half. They silently put away their hate mail and sent a string of mysterious numbers: "..."
