[The Legend of Luo Xiaohei] A Story About Cheating the System

(The story starts when Gou Ge returns from going north to challenge someone alone, so the people and spirits who died earlier can't be brought back. Everyone from later on will get a happy ending!)

(The main story is complete. The warnings are at the very end of the blurb, so you can read them first, especially item five.)

(Extras will update whenever inspiration strikes.)

I'm terrible at blurbs:

I don't know how long I've been dead. Anyway, I opened my eyes and became the dog-girl clone of a handsome dog guy

But my talent is maxed out! My looks are maxed out! My fluffiness is maxed out! So I can totally do this!!!!!!

The main plot: Take down that horrible Naga! Win back King Qingning! Live happily ever after and make dumplings!

The side plot: Meet this person, and this person too; meet that person, and that person too...

The pairing content is mostly in the extras. It's Chinian, but I'll probably mainly write about them spending time together.

Warnings:

1. I started writing this on a whim just to catch up to Lanxi Town. I've only watched Blue Creek Town once, and the first two movies and the TV series several times, but I still can't remember some details, so there may be errors.

2. Original protagonist. Mostly first-person, but there are other viewpoints too. Lots of personal headcanons, so please don't overthink them.

3. OOC warning! Stream-of-consciousness warning! Wild time skips warning!

4. If you're going to rate this below three stars, maybe just click the X instead (begging). I'm just a glass-hearted cook who started writing because I had nothing to read, made food for myself, and can't even enjoy it. I don't think my fragile heart could take it...

*5. This ended up twice as long as the two or three tens of thousands of words I'd planned when I excitedly started writing. It's still technically a short story, but for a brainless person with terrible writing skills like me, it's way beyond my abilities (just look at all the abandoned stories on my profile...). Honestly, I don't even want to reread what I wrote.

It also contains a lot of the author's personal preferences and kinks. Some characters survive because of my headcanons, some characters are killed off with no regard for easter eggs (to be clear, that's Naga, so steer clear if that bothers you), and there's also a plot point where the protagonist's black hair turns white, just like Xiaohei's, because I like it (sorry, but I really love white hair and purple eyes, as well as the one-night-to-go-white-haired trope (not really), so I decided on this from the start). But if you only care about the result of "losing one's domain and turning white-haired," then yes, the protagonist is like Xiaohei. Xiaohei won't go through the events of the first movie in this story, so only the protagonist turns white-haired. Steer clear if that bothers you.

I'm not good at thinking things through, so there are some unnecessary scenes. There are definitely better ways I could have handled things, but my brain and writing skills are limited, so this is what I ended up with.

I can't believe I actually managed to finish the main story! I'm so moved!

That's all. Thanks for reading!
