Blurb:

An anthology, seme protagonist, 1v1 pure love.

Besides protagonists from Qidian and Jinjiang, this world also has a type known as restricted-fiction protagonists.

They are usually forbidden to read such stories before turning eighteen. The content is often shocking, and their favorite plot is to see a noble, proud protagonist, bright as the moon, be destroyed by a scumbag and fall from grace.

As an interstellar rescue System, 888's job is to bind to a Host and save these protagonists, helping them attain the brilliant lives they were meant to have.

World One: Arrogant rich heir x proud medical student.

Lu Xun was a textbook rich kid. He perfectly embodied the stereotype of a spoiled brat who looked down on everyone, put himself first, and threw his weight around.

One day, he took a fancy to a waiter at Bone Urn Bar. The waiter stood tall and straight as a pine, exactly Lu Xun's type. Just as Lu Xun was about to get his way, the System descended with a bolt of justice and stopped him from acting like a scumbag.

Forced by the System, Lu Xun had no choice but to swallow his pride and start saving the waiter.

/

Lu Xun suddenly realized that his earlier thinking had been wrong, completely wrong. Someone like Pei Tingsong was born to stand tall, straight as a pine. Nothing should ever be allowed to bend his pride.

World Two: Transmigrated young marquis x refined third-place palace exam graduate.

The year he placed third in the imperial examination, Qinghe rode through the streets in red, scattering a shower of peach blossoms.

Amid the drifting petals, Yan Buzhuo watched the man. He knew this would be the starting point of Ruan Qinghe's tragic life.

/

Ruan Suiyu, courtesy name Qinghe, was born in Wuyi Lane. He studied the teachings of the sages and the Confucian classics, with his mind full of ideals: to give the people a purpose in life and bring peace to the world.

But no one had told him what to do when he had to choose between saving the country and saving its people.

A foolish, debauched ruler. People starving in every corner of the land.

Young Marquis Yan raised his spear and said he wanted to marry him.

World Three: Infinite-flow veteran x infinite-flow newbie (werewolf game theme)

Jiang Chuan, 28, had been chosen as a player by the Ghost Train. After clearing nine games, he had finally reached the last one. If he survived this final train ride, he could return to the real world.

But the moment he opened his eyes, a previously unseen System appeared and bound itself to him. Not only had it shown up late, it wasn't even a golden finger for an infinite-flow world. It was a bleeding-heart do-gooder.

"I can barely stay alive myself. Why should I have to save other people?!"

Saving people was one thing, but the person 888 wanted him to save was spoiled and stupid, bursting into tears whenever anything happened and even crying if you raised your voice a little. He was a pampered young master who wouldn't survive three rounds in an infinite-flow world.

And yet, whenever he cried, even a coldhearted bastard like Jiang Chuan couldn't help but feel his heart ache.

/

"All right! Can you stop crying already?!"

"I'll cry if I want! Why do you get to control everything, including whether other people cry?!"

"Your crying is driving me crazy!"

"What do you know! I'm mourning my boyfriend!"

/

Qi Ji, 27, had been in love with his boyfriend for eight years. Everything had been wonderful. But a year ago, his boyfriend vanished without a trace.

Everyone said he was dead. Qi Ji refused to accept it.

At last, aboard a train bound for a blizzard, he found his love again.

/

World Four: Laid-back, trouble-averse medium x rational atheist scientist.

Xianyun was a 21st-century medium who wore several jangling crystal bracelets around his wrist and lazily lugged a black board around to steal business from fortune-tellers.

He wasn't serious about it, either. Whenever anyone asked, he'd squint mysteriously and say he was waiting for someone.

But no one knew who he was waiting for, not even Xianyun himself.

Until one day, a cold mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

/

"Strictly speaking, atheism is right. There are no gods in this world, but humans do have souls."

With his hands in his pockets, the red beauty mark at the corner of Xianyun's eye gleamed like a gem, dazzling beneath the stars.

Squinting at the meteor shower filling the sky, he smiled at Shu Heng. "So from the moment I first saw you, I knew we were fated. We'll be entangled with each other for the rest of our lives."

/

World Five: A newly human System x aloof, otherworldly Immortal Venerable.

Xie Wen was a System who had only recently become human. He spent every last one of his points just to return to the first world.

In that first world was the person he had wronged, the one he loved.

At first, he didn't know it was love. He just didn't want to leave the other person alone.

Watching the moon alone was too lonely. With him there, it would be just right.

/

Lin Jinghong was the most gifted cultivator in the cultivation world. He was beautiful and powerful, with everything others envied, but he wasn't happy.

He met someone who did all kinds of intimate things with him, only to tell him in the end that they were just friends.

Only then did Lin Jinghong realize that the other person had never been sincere. Everything he'd done was just to use him to climb the ranks.

So he began watching the moon alone.

But just as Lin Jinghong was cutting himself off from love and desire, a young man appeared.

That young man had eyes only for him.

Theme: Love yourself and work hard.
