Terminally Ill Director, The Whole Internet Begs Me to Stop Writing Tragedies

Lu Yuan transmigrates to a parallel world, where he is diagnosed with a terminal illness from the start and has only a hundred days left to live. By chance, he binds himself to the “Ultimate Emotion System.” As long as he collects the audience’s tears and heartbreak, he can exchange them for classic masterpieces from his past life and extend his lifespan indefinitely. To stay alive, he transforms into the entertainment industry’s most ruthless tyrant of a director. The investors had meant to make a lighthearted comedy to launder money, but at the premiere, the entire audience cried until they collapsed in shock. From the tragic struggles of ordinary people at the bottom of society to the desperate sacrifice of heroes at the end of their road, Lu Yuan’s camera always steers clear of the vital arteries, focusing instead on torturing the audience’s tear ducts. Movie fans across the internet sob uncontrollably as they pour money into the box office, while countless top-tier stars and Best Actors fight over the chance to play a character who gets tortured to death in his films. Looking at the mountain of fan protest letters and razor blades, Lu Yuan smiles faintly at the media cameras. “Don’t worry, everyone. My next film will definitely have a perfectly happy ending.” At those words, movie fans across the internet tremble with fear.
