Su Yan has been reborn.

In his previous life, he was obsessed with all things depressing—anime, novels, dramas—you name it.
Now, in this world, his job is… a freshly hired newbie screenwriter who just went full-time at a TV station.

At first, people thought he must’ve gone through a bad breakup or something to be writing such heart-wrenching stories.
But later…

Reporter: “Mr. Su Yan, would you say you’re naturally dark-minded? Do you enjoy destroying the beautiful things you create in your stories just to make your fans cry in despair?”

Su Yan: “Absolutely not. I’m a 100% mentally stable, sunshine-filled guy who was born with the ability to love.”

In reality...

Su Yan silently looked at the skills he unlocked by harvesting his fans’ emotional breakdowns—
Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu Swordsmanship, Flute Mastery, Violin Mastery, Piano Mastery, Natural Charisma... and so on.
He fell into silence.

“It’s not my fault. The system made me do it!”

The vibe of this story? Think live-action adaptations of emotional gut-punch anime like:

Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal, Your Lie in April, Oregairu, Scum’s Wish, Air, Clannad, Madoka Magica, Three Questions About the End, Violet Evergarden, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, Angel Beats!...

Maybe even some story-driven games like To the Moon turned into scripts.
