The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

"Have you decided what kind of protagonist you want to write?" asked the aunt.

Tao Zhi's cheeks flushed slightly, and he seemed to be a little shy. After all, his thoughts were really self-imaginary, and it was embarrassing to say them out loud.

"A protagonist who is loved and lucky." Tao Zhi said.

"Tell me more about it," Auntie asked curiously.

"I want to write about a protagonist whose life is as smooth as a cheat code, without any grandiose or ups and downs, but always smooth sailing and happy. All the luck will come to him, and then there will be a happy happy ending in the end."

"The protagonist comes from a wealthy family. He has never had to worry about food and clothing since he was a child. He has parents who dote on him and an older brother who protects him."

"He can be as naughty and playful as he wants, and he can do whatever he wants. No one will think he is a burden or a trouble. Everyone loves him for a reason."

"He will meet many different kinds of people in his life, become friends with them, eat barbecue together, have hotpot together, go to the beach together, play together, and then grow up happily together."

The more Tao Zhi spoke, the lower his voice became, and the less confident he became.

"Auntie, you are not allowed to laugh at me." Tao Zhi said.

"What's so funny about this?"

"I think it's great. Everyone would envy and yearn for such a life. I am looking forward to this happy and perfect protagonist you are talking about."

"So what about the other characters? Those good friends who play with the protagonist, have you thought about their settings?" asked the aunt.

“There are only some vague ideas at the moment.”

"For example, there may be a best friend who has been playing mischief with you since childhood."

“A writer friend who loves novels and insists on writing novels.”

"A friend who is the most beautiful person in the whole article."

"A like-minded and casual friend."

"A journalist friend who is anti-routine and nonsensical, but very righteous."

"A traveler friend who loves mountains and rivers and is always on an adventure to explore the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland."

"..."

"There are other things, so add them in slowly." Tao Zhi replied.

"What about the protagonist's lover? Have you decided what he or she will be like?" the aunt asked with a smile.

"I... haven't thought about it yet. I'm very conflicted." Tao Zhi said hesitantly.

"What are you worried about?" asked the aunt.

"I have two settings for the protagonist's lover, and I don't know which one to use."

"One of the settings is that she is excellent and perfect, gentle yet powerful, and has been called a genius since childhood. Naturally, she amazed the young protagonist."

"He is considerate and attentive, taking care of every little emotion of the protagonist, and will always protect the protagonist behind him, giving the protagonist the sense of security he wants."

"Then he will work hard with the protagonist and grow together. He will become more and more outstanding and dazzling. As a perfect lover, he and the protagonist will have the purest and two-way love."

"Another setting..."

Tao Zhi suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong with the other setting?" asked the aunt in confusion.

Another setting is an existence like me.

He will have a poor family, a sick mother, and a gambling and domestic violence father.

All misfortunes will fall on him.

Little by little he will be dragged into the quagmire of life, degenerate and become addicted to it, unable to save himself or cry out, and can only struggle helplessly in a corner of darkness.

He will keep crying and crying until the protagonist who can reach out and pull him out of the darkness appears in his life.

The protagonist will take him into the warm sunshine.

I will laugh with him when he laughs, and I will hold him and comfort him patiently when he cries.

I will give him all the best things in the world, love him and pamper him unconditionally, and believe in him unconditionally.

The protagonist will always stand in front of him, resist and solve all troubles and problems for him, and will not let him suffer any harm.

The first setting is my ideal perfect lover, who is willing to give everything for me and regards his love for me as equal to his life.

The second setting is myself, a person who has no voice to cry out for, no one to turn to for help, so I can only redeem myself.

"Another setting is an unfortunate existence that needs to be redeemed. I haven't figured out the details yet, so I'll talk about it later." Tao Zhi said in a gentle voice.

"So it turns out that our Taozi likes gentle and excellent boys." Auntie smiled.

"Who wouldn't like someone who is gentle and excellent?" Tao Zhi said in a gentle voice.

"Why not choose the first one, a lucky protagonist and an excellent lover. This way you can realize the happiness you want for the protagonist throughout the novel."

"If it was the second unfortunate character who needed to be redeemed, the novel would probably have some heavy plots."

"Taozi, what do you think?" asked Auntie.

Tao Zhi's eyes rippled, his eyes drooped slightly, and he tried hard to force a smile on the corners of his mouth.

"you're right."

After all, no one needs an unfortunate and cowardly lover.

Unhappy people will always be unhappy.

How can a person who is stained with dirt have the right to hope that someone will endure the dirt and reach out to him?

No one is obligated to redeem another.

If you fall into the quagmire and are unable to save yourself, the inevitable fate is to rot in silence.

Asking for help and praying will not bring luck or salvation from others, but will only make your own humility and piety appear more embarrassing and ridiculous.

My novel will be a funny and refreshing story full of happiness.

A melodramatic and pitiful protagonist will not be popular.

"By the way, what's the name of your protagonist?" asked the aunt.

"Tao Zhi." Tao Zhi said in a gentle voice.
