After Shen Qingyan died, he saw a forum and learned that he was only a cannon-fodder character in a comic.
A few brief lines in the comic had already sealed his tragic fate.
His best friend was the comic's protagonist. After Shen Qingyan died, the protagonist would investigate the truth behind his death, discover the hidden truth of the world, and gain supernatural powers.
But this world was on the verge of destruction because of natural disasters. It was beyond saving.
Several people from other worlds had transmigrated into this world and seized its fortune.
The System told him:
He needed to become the most popular character in the comic and reclaim its fortune. Only then could he save the world.
The beautiful young man lowered his pale eyelids, looking listless and unconcerned.
Yet his knuckles had gone white from clenching his fists.
To defeat the transmigrators,
Shen Qingyan had no choice but to do everything he could to sabotage and expose their tragic, beautiful, strong character arcs.
Transmigrator A was a close comrade of the protagonist, sunny and cheerful. During one battle, he tried to stay behind alone to protect his companions, and died a horrible death.
Before the comments could even start weeping for Transmigrator A, they saw the gentle, sickly friend who was usually just a background character lower his brows in rare anger, looking astonishingly beautiful.
"Do you really think we'd abandon one of our own?"
Transmigrator B was the protagonist's childhood friend, but a twist of fate had landed him in the villain's camp. He planned to play out a story of love and hate with the protagonist, full of romantic tension and heartbreak.
He deliberately let his partner reveal his identity in front of everyone, but the gentle young man who was supposed to have died at the start of the comic stepped in front of him without hesitation and said to the suspicious protagonist:
"All I know is that he's a comrade who has faced life and death alongside us."
At first, the transmigrators didn't care about Shen Qingyan. After all, he was just a background character who would die soon.
Later, they fought with everything they had to keep Shen Qingyan alive, even if it meant giving back everything they'd gained, or sacrificing themselves.
At first, in the transmigrators' eyes:
"Who is Shen Qingyan? Doesn't matter. Just don't get in the way of the mission."
Later, in the transmigrators' hearts:
"I don't want Qingyan to be sad. Ugh, annoying protagonist, always hogging Qingqing."
At some point, Shen Qingyan realized that he had somehow become the most popular character in the comic.
[The puppy is competing with someone for his wife's attention again today.]
[Qingyan was coughing up blood behind everyone's backs again. His face is so pale, I'm panicking. Can we please have fewer tragic scenes?]
[Ahhh, has no one noticed that something's wrong with Qingyan? Please, you guys, look at him!]
[Qingyan, please, you have to survive!]
Countless fans ached for him, their hearts breaking.
But Shen Qingyan seemed not to see the comments at all.
He spoke gently with his excited friend and calmly swallowed the scarlet blood welling up in his throat.
Only death could take him to the peak of popularity.
It was a price he was willing to pay.
